Modern young man Zhou Yuntian transmigrates into the world of The Legend of Sword and Fairy, becoming Li Xiaoyao's childhood friend from next door. He plans to use his "script advantage" to secretly protect everyone and make up for the story's regrets, but instead triggers an uncontrollable butterfly effect: their first meeting in Suzhou comes early, the matchmaking plot disappears, they face danger together in Hidden Dragon Cave, and he is poisoned and left on the brink of death in the capital. Every "prediction" sends fate further off course.
As the Demon Locking Pagoda collapses, he decides to trade his life for another's, but Lin Yueru grabs his wrist and refuses to let go. When the final battle at Nuwa Temple approaches, he prepares to slip away and die alone, only to see Zhao Ling'er gently shake her head. Li Xiaoyao holds his sword to Zhou Yuntian's neck, his voice trembling: "We said we'd roam the jianghu together. You little punk, just try leaving early!"
The transmigrator set out to save everyone, only to find the entire hero party desperately protecting him instead. This is a story about forging even deeper bonds in a dislocated timeline after "spoilers fail."
