After Su Yunqi, the legitimate daughter of the prime minister's house, suffered a serious illness, a "Book of Fate for All Things" appeared in her sea of consciousness. The book predicts that she will poison her sister Su Luoluo out of jealousy on the Lantern Festival after March, and will eventually be executed by her childhood sweetheart's fiancé.
Unwilling to become a stepping stone for other people's stories, she decided to forcefully change the story. She used the ability of fortune books to predict the future to navigate the frequent "Ziling Murder Cases" in Shangjing City. She discovered that the world was being eroded by a strange thing called "ink stain".
She met the only variable that was not recorded in the fortune book - Xiao Huaijin, the minister of Dali Temple. A man who can read people's hearts, but cannot read her. As the two of them solved a series of strange cases with Chinese-style horror (such as: human skin wedding dress, faceless actor), they gradually uncovered the huge lie behind the world: it turns out that everyone is just a pastime written by a high-ranking god.
