Features: The suspenseful atmosphere runs through the entire story. Gui Guni presents another hot work, Heartbreak to Death. At the beginning of the year, Gui Guni, known as the "Ghost Master" for repeatedly crashing online servers and dominating bookstore rankings with her novel Smashed Face, now releases the second installment of her "Suspense Series," Heartbreak to Death, near the end of the year. The story was met with rave reviews and soaring click rates as soon as it was posted on websites like Tianya, Sina, and Sohu, making it a hot hit. The story follows a group of young people traveling to Wuyi Mountain to visit a scenic spot called "Xinshang Valley," which hides mysterious suspended coffins in a cave named "Shixi Cave." After hearing a prophecy from a mysterious person that "those who enter the suspended coffin cave will eventually die in sorrow," they still insist on going. Tragedy strikes, and the prophecy becomes a curse as deaths occur one by one among the group. Meng Siyao, the curious girl who was initially skeptical of superstitions and insisted on entering "Shixi Cave," falls into deep self-blame. A series of eerie phenomena and events that follow force her to embark on a dangerous path to uncover the mystery. After surviving nine close calls, she finally learns the secret hidden in the blood-stained suspended coffins in "Shixi Cave," believing her nightmare is finally over and she can be free. However, the "Death" figure, dressed in a gray raincoat and never revealing his face, coldly delivers another chilling prophecy: "Your nightmare has just begun." In addition to inheriting the unique suspense, mystery, and horror of Smashed Face, this novel adds more elements of (deduction) and knowledge, with a faster-paced plot where one event leads to the next.
