Lin Miao, twenty-six, was a struggling writer barely scraping by on a xianxia novel. On the night her manuscript was due, she hit her head in a taxi on the way home. When she opened her eyes again, she had become the doomed side character from her own book: a stunning nine-tailed fox who died as soon as she appeared.
The System issued a cold warning: Rewrite the supporting character’s fate, or your soul will be erased.
Before she could even process the bad news, she heard footsteps outside the cave. The “unfeeling and loveless” male lead she had created herself was coming to take her life, sword in hand.
To stay alive, Su Zhaozhao (Lin Miao) had to frantically complain about the plot holes she had written herself while doing everything in her power to rewrite the story. She had to uncover the truth, fight villains, discover her origins, and gather celestial pearls, all while dealing with the cold-faced sword cultivator asking, “Who are you, really?” and the roguish medicine cultivator saying, “You’re quite interesting, little sister.”
But little by little, she realized this world had slipped out of her control. The original story’s world-ending catastrophe was drawing near, and the only thing she could do was write herself into a living character, then bring everyone else to life as well.
When the creator becomes a pawn in her own story, the first lesson in rewriting fate is simple: Don’t let the male lead cut you down.
