In order to save his sick mother, Lin Shu, a scholar from a poor family, steals books from the academy at night, but is accidentally bound to the "life editing system" - he must write a perfect script for "winning the imperial examination" within three years for Xie Mingyu, the legitimate son of the Marquis of Zhenbei.
If it fails, it will be wiped out; if it succeeds, the mother will be saved.
He was forced to pick up his pen and sneak into Bailu Academy to observe the lonely, sick and frail young master day and night. But as he pondered the words, he gradually discovered that Xie Mingyu could see "loopholes" in the rules of the world, and the blood he coughed up was golden, and every "accidental" encounter between them seemed to be stared at by a higher-dimensional gaze.
When Lin Shu wrote the plot of "Xie Mingyu died to save him" and the man actually coughed up blood and fell down, the tip of his pen trembled.
In this world, who is writing whose destiny?
