Tang Zhenzhen becomes the fiancée of Ren Yanjing, the cultivation world’s foremost puppet master. Rumor has it that Ren Yanjing is a peerless genius, and that his “wooden birds and wooden horses” can defend an entire city. He is the future hope of the immortal sects. But his fiancée is an empty-headed airhead who cares only about makeup. She not only refuses to let him cultivate in seclusion and study mechanisms, but insists that he use the hands that carve divine weapons to do her makeup.
All Tang Zhen needs to do is play the “obstacle” who will be jilted in three months. Once the true Daughter of Destiny appears, a spirit maiden who can breathe a soul into mechanisms, Tang Zhen can bow out.
But one day, when Tang Zhen needs to stop him from going to the forbidden grounds to repair an ancient mechanism for a mission, she deliberately twists her ankle and pouts. “You can’t go. I want you to watch the sunrise with me.”
Ren Yanjing looks into her tearful, captivating eyes, actually sets aside the blueprints that could determine the fate of all living beings, and says softly, “Mechanisms are lifeless. You’re alive. I’m not going.”
Tang Zhen: ??? Wait, that’s not how the script goes!
