My Fate Is Sealed, but I Refuse to Sign

“Everyone's life is a manuscript. Birth is the beginning, death is the end, and the body in between is never proofread.” Twenty-eight-year-old Yu Mo is a hack editor who can't even finish the ending of his own novel. Then he discovers he can see the “life manuscripts” written on other people. The man at the pancake stall will win the lottery today. The girl on the subway will die in a car accident three days from now. It's all there in black and white, crystal clear. He corrects people's typos, and he edits their fates too: deleting “die an unnatural death” and adding “a false alarm.” But he can't revise his own manuscript, because his is a blank page. Blank means he was never supposed to exist. The Bookburners' Pavilion wants to burn him, the Bookburner faction wants to seize him, and he only wants to understand one thing: How can someone who can't even write an ending be written into this world, one word at a time?
