The Fate Weaver

A vindictive, brooding puppet master seme and a cool, beautiful puppet-maker uke

Happy ending | Younger seme, 1v1 | Obsessive devotion | A lofty flower falls into the mud | Love and hate | A love born of bitter hatred

Yan Hui, young master of an immortal sect, left the mountain to do good deeds and accumulate merit. Along the way, he happened to spend one night with a beautiful stranger whose origins were unknown.

The beauty had tied a thread around his heart, but Yan Hui didn't know it. After returning home, he inexplicably went mad and plunged a dagger into his own kinsmen.

Yan Hui's reputation was ruined, and he became a traitor hated by everyone. The beauty "happened" to appear at the scene of the crime and told him, "You've slaughtered your family and kin, and the world will never accept you again. From now on, follow me. I'll give you a place to stay. My surname is Hua, and my given name is Jue."

From then on, the two traveled together. But before long, they both realized there was something off about the other.

Hua Jue discovered that Yan Hui didn't seem to care at all that his entire family had been slaughtered. Yan Hui seemed to wear a mask by nature, too calm and indifferent for his own good.

Yan Hui discovered that Hua Jue seemed to have some kind of magic. Whenever Yan Hui was near him, he lost the ability to think clearly and couldn't help sticking close to him, unable to leave. Whatever Hua Jue said, Yan Hui was more than happy to do. It was as if an invisible thread had tied him to Hua Jue.

As they spent their days together, Hua Jue failed to see Yan Hui's true nature, while Yan Hui saw through Hua Jue. Everything abnormal that had happened to him was caused by Hua Jue's astonishing puppet magic.

No one knew where the stunning beauty named Hua Jue had come from, or what he intended to do.

A single red thread let him command countless puppets. Innumerable living beings willingly submitted to him, and Yan Hui was just one more puppet he had picked up and put to use.

The fury of being manipulated and exploited reached its peak the moment Yan Hui discovered that Hua Jue was the mastermind. Yan Hui tore off his disguise, broke free of Hua Jue's control, and personally dragged him down from his lofty pedestal, defiling him and claiming him in a frenzy.

Yan Hui wanted to imprison Hua Jue by his side forever, possess his heart, watch him struggle and beg for mercy, and use it to vent his fury and exact revenge.

As it turned out, Yan Hui succeeded.

When an untouchable legend is dragged down from on high by another's hand, he will never forget the person who brought him down. By the time Yan Hui had taken everything from Hua Jue, Hua Jue knew he could no longer escape. His entanglement with Yan Hui would never end.
