Zheng Yichen, a director known as a "geek" in the entertainment industry, appears to be an 18th-tier director who makes bad movies that hit the streets, but in fact he has the golden finger of "causal editing" - he can edit movie clips to make fictional plots actually happen in reality.
When everyone thought he was just a loser who relied on popularity, Zheng Yichen's new movie "Man in the Mirror" was about to start filming. Investors withdrawing funds, actors breaking contracts, peers ridiculing... These are just editing materials in Zheng Yichen's eyes.
The scene in the film where a supporting character was kidnapped actually happened the next day - the kidnapper turned out to be the producer who had mocked him a few days ago. When the police solved the case, they found that all the evidence pointed to a strange logical chain: what happened to the victim was exactly the same as in the script.
Zheng Yichen thought it was just a coincidence until he discovered that his movie clips began to affect the cause and effect of the real world. When the last character in the film died in the secret room, and in reality the director who conspired against him really died in the secret room, Zheng Yichen realized that [causal editing] is not a golden finger, but the key to the abyss.
What's even weirder is that the movie script begins to update itself, with every new scene pointing to a murder that has not yet happened. Zheng Yichen must find out the real murderer hidden behind the scenes before the plot comes true. Otherwise, he will be the next to die.
