Ning Yun is tired of being everyone's supporting character. Whether he's the honor student destined to be overtaken, the random bystander dragged into someone else's drama, or the innocent friend mistaken for a villain's lackey, he never gets to write his own story.

But when reality itself starts glitching in bizarre ways, can he stay uninvolved?
