Gu Cijing, a third-rate screenwriter, had to satisfy her client, so she wrote a terrible script with her eyes closed.
Court intrigue, transmigration, sci-fi, workplace drama, and sweet romance: five elements that had nothing in common, crammed into a forty-episode period drama.
She even gave her own name to a cannon-fodder character who died in the third episode.
When she woke up, she had transmigrated into the show.
Her knees really hurt. The bricks really were hard. And the empress really was unpredictable.
And she herself was the cannon-fodder character who was supposed to be poisoned to death in episode three.
No matter. She remembered every plot point and knew how everyone's story ended.
She could hide, escape, and exploit bugs to survive in this world.
Until she discovered...
The script was rewriting itself.
Characters she had never written appeared out of nowhere.
Someone remembered details she had deleted.
This world was growing things she had never written.
And the battered script in her hands was her only map.
But the words on the map were fading.
