The night Su Wen received a voice message from his older sister, she had already been dead for three years.
“Xiao Wen, when you wake up tomorrow, no matter what Mom and Dad say, don't believe that you're an only child.”
The next day, his parents had forgotten they ever had a daughter. In their family photos, only an eerie empty space remained. School records, hospital files, and fire reports all proved that Su Zhiwei had never existed.
Only Su Wen still remembered that she liked orange soda, had a faint scar at the end of her left eyebrow, and had pushed him out of a fire three years ago.
Following the sound of a bell in the voice message, Su Wen entered a street that didn't exist on any map.
He discovered that in this world, stories believed by enough people could become rules, and those whose names were erased would vanish along with their photographs, memories, and lives.
He could see the words deleted from every story, and use his own memories as the price to add a line of annotation to reality.
Again and again, Su Wen wrote his sister's name back into the world. But in the fire report from three years ago, he discovered that...
There had been two “Su Wens” rescued that night.
If both Su Wens were real, then who had the world truly erased?
