In Region Three's Nian family, the notorious 'double waste' Nian Shutong and the widely known 'frail beauty' Fu Yunhe got married and were exiled to a toxic, deserted planet to die. 'I bet they can live for a month.' 'I bet half a month.' 'I bet ten days!' Although the bets continued, unexpectedly this abandoned planet began to produce rice supplying the entire star system, brilliant white fine salt, sweet sugar, and pure meat. Nian Shutong, once despised, soared to become a top-tier planet lord, and started a luxurious, enviable retirement life. As many coveted her success, she encountered trouble today, received flowers tomorrow. The silent big spender Fu Yunhe couldn't sit back any longer. Touching Nian Shutong's back, he said with grievance: 'You are married.' 'Don't worry, they are not as rich as you; those richer aren't as handsome as you; the handsome ones aren't as obedient as you; those more obedient can't take a beating like you.' '?' Fu Yunhe bowed his head and twiddled his fingers, asking again, 'How much more do I need to spend to really deserve it?' Nian Shutong patted his head gently and whispered, 'There, there, spend a bit more.'

Each faces their own struggles, from family expectations and personal passions to tumultuous love lives and deep insecurities. They find solace in each other's company. Their lives take a dark turn one stormy night when they gather at Ben's old, creaky house. As they reminisce, a sudden blackout plunges them into darkness, unveiling malevolent spirits that inhabit the house. Each friend encounters horrifying apparitions that reflect their deepest fears. Determined to uncover the source of the hauntings, they split up and face their personal nightmares. Aiden confronts a ghostly figure of his strict father, Ben is chased by a spirit feeding on his passion, Chloe faces a vengeful ghost from her past, Danny encounters a phantom embodying his failures, and Emily is tormented by a specter of her deepest fears. In the chaos, Aiden and Emily discover a hidden diary in the attic, revealing that the house's previous owner, a sorcerer, created the spirits to torment those who entered. The sorcerer, controlling the house from beyond the grave, had trapped the friends in a nightmarish game to feed off their fears and weaknesses. Together, the friends confront the sorcerer in a fierce battle, ultimately overcoming the malevolent spirits. As the illusion shatters, they realize their experiences were not entirely real, but the emotional scars remain. The ordeal leaves them forever changed, having faced their deepest fears and emerged stronger. In the aftermath, they piece together the final clues from the diary and learn that the sorcerer's true intent was to teach them a lesson about their inner strength. The spirits were manifestations of their own fears, manipulated by the sorcerer to help them find their true potential. With newfound clarity, the friends vow to support each other and face life's challenges head-on

“They are beauty beyond words and terror beyond reason. In their light, souls are cleansed; in their shadow, worlds are undone. They bless with a touch and destroy with a glance. To worship them is to invite salvation and doom alike, for they are justice without mercy, power without limit, and existence without end. Mortal hands may build temples in their name, but no prayer can soften their gaze. Kneel, not in hope—but in fear." — Aetherion 6:8 Have you ever wondered if Gods exist or if they are just a figment of humanity's imagination for hope? If they exist and aren't just a figment of our imagination, are they benevolent and merciful, or are they indifferent to our sufferings?
