The Gu-Heart Pact: Witnessed by the Galaxy

At the heart of the story is the fate that binds Lingzhu, a young gu practitioner from Miaojiang, to Li Yifan, a modern tech mogul, through a family curse that has entangled their families for a hundred years.

Lingzhu carries the female gu of the “Twin Gu.” On her master’s orders, she enters the outside world to find the male gu’s Host and break the life-or-death pact that “only one Tangbao can survive.” Her target is Li Yifan, an heir to a wealthy family cursed to have his heart turn to stone before he turns twenty-three. Their first encounter sparks a violent collision between gu magic and technology, and unexpectedly awakens fragments of memories from past lives across time.

To survive and break the curse, these two utterly different people have no choice but to form an alliance. Together, they uncover the secrets buried deep within the Li family and fight a tech conspiracy bent on exploiting the power of gu. Along the way, ancient gu practices and cutting-edge cyber technology fuse in a remarkable way, giving rise to a unique “data sorcery.” From mutual suspicion to standing together through life and death, their feelings deepen as the crises escalate.

In the end, they discover that the pact’s true nature goes far beyond control and survival: it concerns an eternal bond between soul and data. In a grand ritual blending virtual and real, past and future, they use “true love” as the key to transcend fate. They not only break the curse but also uncover the truth that love is a force on a cosmic scale, and seal their eternal covenant with the galaxy as their witness.
