Synopsis

[Transmigrate into a book / mind games / comedy / twists / comeback / wild ideas / Heavenly Dao cultivation / rewriting reality / side character’s rise] After transmigrating into a badly unfinished novel, Shen Du became a servant who dies after three lines. His golden finger is a piece of paper that keeps accounts. [Heavenly Dao Editor: You may write three characters each day to change reality] [Price: Every change must be repaid] Write the wrong thing, and heavenly lightning strikes. Fail to repay, and you’re erased. But when Shen Du opened the page for the first time, there was already a line written on it: “You have only seven days left.” To stay alive, he sneaks into the protagonist’s storyline, borrows karma, latches onto powerful allies, and repays old debts. Each time he settles a debt, another line appears on the back of the page. But the more he repays, the stranger things get. The dates on the last few debts are all three days from now. He hasn’t even written them down, yet the debts are already recorded. More strangely still: There is more than one editor page, and more than one person holding the pen. Even the Heavenly Dao seems to have been written into the story by someone. Until one day, Shen Du turns to the last page. Beneath every IOU, the same name is signed.
