Under the Historian

Gu Linyuan traveled through the Ming Dynasty and became Xiaoqi, the lowest level member of the Jinyiwei. I originally thought I was just looking for a way out in troubled times, but during a night arrest, I saw with my own eyes a man who had been beheaded by the Meridian Gate three days ago, walking on the streets of Chang'an again. The files were correct and the records were complete. Everyone knew that the man was dead. He was the only one who saw the "exception". When reality deviates from the history books, and when the predetermined death is quietly erased, he realizes that the real operation of the world is not what the history books write. Someone is "writing". They cannot change history at will, but they can guide the process, rewrite details, and control life and death within the rules. Who lives, who dies, who gains power, who loses—all in one stroke. And Gu Linyuan became the person who could see the "ink marks". Jinyiwei investigates people, Dongchang controls power, and higher up, someone is deciding how to write this page of history. The person who writes the pen can write the destiny, and the historian can determine the history. In this big world, whose world is it? And can he step from being a historian to being a writer? ——If I pick up my pen, will this history count?
