2025, Shaoxing. Li Yunzhou, a has-been writer, lives in a rented house next to Lu Xun's former residence, struggling to get by with calls for manuscripts, debt collection messages and nags urging marriage. The vulgar plots he wrote to please the public clashed fiercely with his self-anointed literary dream, pushing him to the edge of despair.
During an accidental dinner, a mysterious fan gave him a black card that smelled of osmanthus. When the card glowed for no reason late at night, Li Yunzhou was shocked to realize that his troubled life was no accident. A well-dressed strange man spitting out date pits in the dark, a dream with strange content that cannot be remembered clearly, and a scent of osmanthus that follows everywhere... All clues point to a huge existence hidden behind reality - "Destiny Studio".
He gradually realized that he was not only a frustrated screenwriter, but also a "character" who was written and observed. The editor's rants, parents' expectations, ex-girlfriend's determination, and even every word he writes may be a carefully choreographed script.
Should he continue to play the tragic role assigned by fate, or should he pick up his pen and tamper with the established plot according to his own will?
When the boundaries of reality begin to blur, Li Yunzhou must write the first reversal chapter for his life.
