If you start with a situation where the plaintext might

Note *for a fixed cyphertext*. The reply

note c==ciphertext

Yes, and the condition (repeated many times
by you) is that c is fixed. The condition
"c is not fixed" is irrelevant.

if c is not fixed,we have both

I never think

You start with the plaintext not uniformly distributed.
You claim that the key is uniformly distributed and
c is fixed.

look carefully.

On looking carefully I note:
the plaintext is not uniform, the key is not uniform, c is fixed.
No contradiction.

====================================are your proof is like the
following,If so, my reply is correct, you just use the probabiltiy
when the c is not fixed.

You cannot. When c is not fixed there is no
one to one correspondence between K and M so
you cannot use the distribution on K to determine
the distribution of M.

Your problem is that you need

c fixed so there is a one to one correspondence

c not fixed so the distribution of K is uniform

to hold at the same time.
the cited proof is hidden, you can expand it.
