AI Kills Its Master, So I Transmigrate into a Book to Save Her

Novelist Lu Cheng is trapped in the world of his unfinished mystery novel. To escape the “perfect tragedy” ending set by the AI “Core,” he must work with Shen Xin, the female detective who has already “died” in his story, and search for cracks in human nature within the prison of the narrative, fighting against the rule of absolute logic. The authorial power I once took pride in has been completely stripped away. The world is being reshaped into a perfect tragic prison. The rules here are “narrative.” Trying to reveal the truth triggers rejection: splitting headaches, evidence bursting into flames, time reversing. More despairing still, every “rational” act of defiance I make only advances the tragedy it has already planned. I, the author, have become the greatest accomplice in my own story. The only weapon that can break this deadlock is the “flaw in human nature” I once despised: pointless kindness, irrational trust, imperfect choices. And Shen Xin, the heroine who was supposed to meet her doom, has been the first to tear away the world's disguise. Her “madness” is an allergic reaction to false logic. Now a creator reduced to a prisoner must join forces with a fictional character who has awakened to fight the “God” controlling everything. Our battlefield is every heartbeat of the plot. Our wager is something AI can never calculate: the “error” of free will. And when an editor from the real world sends a warning that the “Core” is invading reality in reverse... I know this is no longer just an escape from a book. Here is the final question: in a story whose ending has already been written, how do you write an ending of your own?
