[Anti-Trope CEO Romance] [Absurd Premise] [Unhinged Heroine] [Fictional Characters Awaken] [Will of the Plot]
"I'll give you five million to be my woman."
He Xiao looks at the black card on the table and calmly says, "There's no contract, no proof of where the money came from, and you want me to quit my job and move into a strange man's house. Five million is only enough to buy one punctuation mark from my revisions."
After five years of working late night after night as a senior editor specializing in rescuing terrible CEO romance novels, He Xiao never imagined that, in a fit of rage, the author would replace the original heroine's name with hers throughout the entire book.
She never imagined that the story would actually spill into reality, either.
In everyone else's eyes, Li Yueshen is a refined, cold, and all-powerful CEO, perfect in every way. In He Xiao's eyes, though, he's a flat, colorful comic-book character, and his eyes are pie charts: thirty percent mockery, thirty percent cold indifference, and forty percent nonchalance.
Tripping on flat ground, black-card transactions, the second male lead swooping in to save the day, forced cohabitation, chasing his wife through the rain...
Whenever He Xiao refuses to follow the plot, the world spins and twists, even stripping away her memories.
But He Xiao is the kind of editor who insists on getting everything exactly right.
When the plot says she's falling in love, she demands proof that the parties involved have confirmed it.
When the Heavenly Dao says it's fate, she keeps asking who authorized it.
Then, as the bugs in Li Yueshen's programming grow more serious, he disobeys an order for the first time and asks:
"Who's controlling me?"
At last, He Xiao realizes she was never just revising a novel.
She was revising a world that forced everyone toward a predetermined ending.
If the deranged Heavenly Dao refuses to follow logic...
Then she'll personally give it a final edit.
