Ye Xingmu, Puppet King X Qin Xiao, Commander
Three hundred years ago, the contract between puppeteers and commanders was profoundly unequal.
Ye Xingmu hated the contract, while Qin Xiao forced him into it and bound him to his side.
Later, Qin Xiao restored his freedom and left him, believing they would never see each other again.
Then, three hundred years later, a demon came forward to confess, and a case involving a rebellion among the puppeteers emerged. Qin Xiao brought his team to investigate and, as soon as he arrived, ran into his former puppeteer, Ye Xingmu.
Well, now he was stuck with him.
Qin Xiao stated firmly, “The puppet contract is broken.”
“Don't say things I don't want to hear.”
That day, the contract reignited, but this time, Qin Xiao was the one being forced into it.
Qin Xiao's voice trembled as he tried to bring the other man back to his senses.
“Ye Xingmu, the first rule of the puppet contract is that a puppeteer falling in love with their commander is forbidden...”
“Then I'll break that rule.”
I'll wait for the red roses to turn black, for the roses to drown in wine, and for you to fall in love with me again.
