(Elegance + villain + no heroine or single heroine + slightly slow-burning + folklore and weird stories)
My name is Gu Yuange, and I am the leader of a theater troupe.
My theater troupe is a bit special.
The paper-tied boy's face was pale, the ghost Xiang Yu and the ghost Yu Ji shed tears of blood, the rickety old man and the evil ghost in the wedding dress... They were all puppets on strings, dancing in my palms.
And I am the only living 'actor' on the stage.
The scarlet thread is coming, disaster areas are raging, and evil spirits are rampant. On the remaining soil, humanity lingers.
The world is sick, terminally ill, and incurable.
There is only one way to cure this - turn all living beings, evil spirits, and even the gods in the clouds into puppets in the palm of my hand, and control them by strings.
So, I happily took up the thread and started planning a big drama that could overturn the world.
Now, I have become the only taboo in this wasteland.
The name of Gu Yuange, the class leader in red, is resounding throughout the world.
"I am the leader of the Guiling class, Gu Yuange."
"All living beings in this world—from now on, I will take over."
