On a rainy night, a strange man covered in blood barged into an old bookstore, threw down a thread-bound ancient book, and died on the spot.
Rather than the dead man, shopkeeper Chen Mo was more annoyed that he'd dirtied the floor. After all, no one could break the rules Chen Mo set.
He was born with an obsessive need for order, and the innate ability to rewrite every bit of common sense in the world:
A deadly firearm? He could turn it into a banana that only breathed fire.
A lethal current of air? He could turn it into a floor sturdy enough to stand on.
Even the unspeakable, corrosive anomalies had to obey his common sense.
When the hot-tempered policewoman Lin Jingzhe came to him, plagued by illusions, a single word from him erased all the bloodshed and terror.
When the government abnormality department approached him, offering him a position as an external consultant, their bargaining chip was to help recover the fragmented memories consumed by his ability.
But every time he used his power, he forgot something: how to ride a bike, what his loved ones looked like, and eventually, even how to tell love from hate or joy from sorrow.
Everyone called him the anchor holding back the anomalies. Only he knew that he could barely recognize himself anymore, rewritten bit by bit by common sense.
