Lost on the Twelfth Floor 十二楼谜案

By NING Hangyi

●A group of strangers inherits a fortune in a sinister mansion, but as murders unfold, they’re drawn into a web of secrets, greed, and betrayal.

A group of strangers forms a large family, an inheritance worth up to two hundred million yuan, four meticulously executed murder cases, all of which remain unsolved mysteries, and the clues subtly point to the sinister mansion on the twelfth floor.
Among this group are a mysterious couple fleeing their past with their intellectually challenged son, a middle-aged woman who depleted her savings to purchase a deadly property, a terminally ill rural teacher, a single mother scarred by love, a pole dancer who left her hometown, and an aspiring e-sports player. The desire for money appears to be a powerful motive driving each inheritor to commit crimes.
In this inheritance heir battle royale, the truth emerges as a cruel irony about love, unveiled by the very people who seemingly had no faith in it.
