Rules become reality, and words can kill.
Former star editor Shen Xu is pulled into a "City of Rules." His only golden finger is editing.
He changes punctuation, clears up ambiguity, and fixes grammatical errors, exploiting logical loopholes in curses that come true, one sentence at a time.
"The dead must not touch the living." He adds a comma after "dead," and the curse rebounds on the spot.
Others charge through with knives, but he changes a single punctuation mark and turns an entire rule against itself.
Until he realizes that every time he edits, he pushes the "Author" closer to the cliff of abandoning her story.
And the "Author" is his fiancee, whom he personally condemned three years ago with the words, "This will never be a hit."
He killed her with a rejected manuscript. Now he'll bring her back to life by editing her story.
