Novelist Chen Xi accidentally traveled through time and became the cannon fodder disciple Duan Lingyun in his unfinished novel about cultivating immortals. He learned that the only way home was to complete the story - to save Liancheng, the lord of the ghost realm who was besieged by the decent and cursed. Duan Lingyun used the golden finger of the "author's perspective" to survive in the crisis-ridden immortal sect while approaching and "capturing" Liancheng. He pretended to be close, but under Liancheng's disguise as an upright senior brother, he gradually showed his sincerity; he witnessed Liancheng's pain, participated in the cruelty of the world, and finally saw in his "villain" the struggle and affection that transcended good and evil. When the goal of rescuing the villain conflicts with returning to reality, and when the emotions of the fake show cannot be let go, Duan Lingyun must make the final choice between fate and love.
