In the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, the third year of severe drought, locust plague and plague broke out. The Shen clan in Qingya Village decided to sacrifice their seventh daughter, Shen Hengzhi, to the mountain god in exchange for some rain. At dusk when she was bundled up the mountain, she found a shabby notebook in the ruins of an ancient temple. As soon as my fingertips touched the cover, a sentence exploded in my mind: Use essence and blood as ink to write cause and effect, defying destiny. She bit her finger and trembled as she wrote the first line - "I want to get down the mountain alive." The thorns on the mountain road all gave way, the temple guardian fell into an inexplicable drowsiness, and she stumbled back home. The notebook can rewrite reality, but it is not without cost: every time I write down, there is a blood mark on my wrist, and my life is passing by. When the clan leader who she wrote "broke her leg" woke up, the first thing she said was, "Tie her up again and burn her alive this time." Shen Hengzhi knew that just running was useless. She started hoarding food like crazy: she wrote "There are wild potatoes in the back mountain" and dug out three hundred kilograms the next day; she wrote "The cellar is not leaking" and all the granaries were safe during the rainy night. She secretly fed the hungry tribesmen who were chewing tree bark, but she aroused the suspicion of her adopted brother Gu Huaijing - he had written "protect me" on a piece of paper, but now he wanted to lock her in the house and not allowed to go anywhere. The cause and effect chain of the notebook becomes more and more confusing: the more it is rewritten, the stronger the backlash from heaven and earth becomes. It wasn't until she turned the last page and the ancient god's seal cracked that she saw the truth - she was not a sacrifice, but a forgotten god. And the so-called man-eating mountain god was waiting for her to write down her death date in her own hand.
