He was the youngest Fate Star Lord in the Celestial Realm, in charge of the Book of Mortal Destinies. A stroke of his brush decided life and death; a single line could alter the seasons of an entire era.
Yet for a mortal he had never met, he secretly burned the Book of Destinies and defied Heaven to change that person's fate. He was banished to the mortal world, where he became an ordinary lantern maker.
Eight hundred years later, he returned to the Celestial Realm, only to discover that the mortal from back then had become the ruler of the Ghost Domain, commanding a million ghost soldiers and standing atop a red lotus of infernal fire. The ruler reached out to him.
"Star Lord, I spent eight hundred years changing back the fate you changed for me. This time, your fate is in my hands."
But behind that case of "defying Heaven" lay a conspiracy that would engulf all three realms.
When the truth came to light, he was startled to realize that what he had thought was "defying Heaven" had merely been one move in a much larger game, and the "innocent mortal" he had believed in was the only person who had been clear-eyed and in control from beginning to end.
Theme: Every encounter that seems like a coincidence is a certainty someone has painstakingly brought about.
