"Wait, there's a sentence missing here."
Zhou Mu is a trainee editor at a publishing house and works with words every day. Until one day he discovered that he could really "add stuff" to the story - just insert a sentence and rewrite the entire plot.
He thought it was the protagonist's halo.
Until the characters in the story start fighting back.
The wolf in "Little Red Riding Hood" suddenly said: "Here you go again." The fairy tale world collapsed on the spot, and Zhou Mu almost didn't escape.
To make matters worse, a law student named Su Wan chased him all over the world, insisting on "delete" the sentence he added. She called it maintaining the order of the story, while Zhou Mu called it being nosy.
But the story went awry faster than their falling out.
The murderer in "No Survival" disappeared out of thin air, Tang Monk in "Journey to the West" refused to go on the road, and Tomoko in "The Three-Body Problem" began to say to himself - "You shouldn't come in."
Lao Yuan, the former criminal investigation captain, saw at a glance that this was not a bug, but murder. Xiao Ling, a 19-year-old online writer, rolled his eyes and said, "This section is too confusing, jump." Then he led the team to avoid a dead end. There is also a weirdo named Ah Chai who never makes a sound, but can always take on a key role to save the day.
The five men have different narrative abilities, but they all discover the same thing: the story world is waking up, and it's not very friendly.
What's even more troublesome is that Zhou Mu can't tell which memory is his and which one he inserted. The words she deleted appeared repeatedly in Su Wan's dream, chasing her like a curse.
Ah Zhui finally said: "I seem to have seen that sentence you added somewhere before."
Zhou Mu suddenly realized - this is not playing a game, this is an invasion.
Stories, let's settle the ledger.
Motto: Don't change the story randomly, they will come to settle accounts with you
