Jiang Yan was a prize-winning screenwriter known for her tragic endings.
Historical political intrigue, school romance, Republican-era love stories, fantasy mysteries, and urban romance: five hit dramas in ten years, every protagonist meeting a tragic end. Audiences cried their eyes out, yet still praised her razor-sharp storytelling, with every blow landing fatally.
But she was tired. She announced a strike, put down her pen, and swore she would never write again.
Before she could even lie flat, she woke up inside a story she had created. The settings and characters were familiar, but nothing would follow the original script. Every one of them demanded that she change the ending to a happy one. More bizarrely, the male leads all looked more and more like Shen Wei, who had disappeared ten years ago.
Jiang Yan grew increasingly certain something was wrong. She began to wonder:
Was all of this just her imagination? Or was someone carefully weaving a trap for her?
"The dead ends she writes are her abyss, but also the path to her own redemption."
