The Tragedy Caused by a Single Red Thread

[My new novel, My Disciple Came Back to Kill Me, is now available. Blurb below.]

As the only successor to the Matchmaker’s Office, the Red Thread Fairy is busy around the clock. She’s just waiting for the old man under the moon to kick the bucket in a wine jar, so she can inherit his immortal post and finally sing the song of liberation.

But Red Thread never expected that the thing with a tougher fate than her boss would be the red cord she had tied herself.

It was knotted tightly around the foot of the Heaven Clan’s poker-faced crown prince, leaving him without a partner for a thousand years!

Red Thread scratched her head and apologized. “Um, er... I’ll untie it, Your Highness. Please don’t report me...”

Yan Ye glanced at her coolly. “Lift your foot.”

Red Thread: “Uh... huh?! Your Highness, don’t! Wait! Even if you can’t untie it, don’t tie me up with it too...”

[My new novel, My Disciple Came Back to Kill Me, is now available]:

Ye Ran is a third-generation immortal and second-generation demon. She coasted through life until she wound up as the leader of the immortals, living as freely and comfortably as she pleased.

She thought that was how she’d spend the rest of her life. She had no plans to follow in her parents’ footsteps and do something that would shake the entire realm.

But Heaven couldn’t stand to see her lazing around and played a cruel joke on her. On the day she underwent her tribulation, a bolt of lightning turned her into a child and wiped out all her cultivation.

Worse still, right after the lightning struck, her former disciple, whose immortal bones she had broken before pushing him into the Demon Abyss, found her and took her home. He was now the Demon Abyss’s supreme ruler.

Ye Ran lamented: Heaven has wanted me dead for a long time!

Lin Jun had been sealed in the sunless Demon Abyss for three hundred years. He chose to live in the secluded valley of Xugu, where he could see the summit of Wangyun Mountain.

Not a blade of grass grew in the marsh, and mud stretched in every direction. Still, he stayed there for three hundred years, waiting for her to descend and explain herself to him.

But even when the lightning of her ascension tribulation lit up the horizon, she never came.

That day, the lightning from her tribulation illuminated half the sky. Eyes blood-red, he faced its radiance and risked his life to break through the seal of the sunless abyss.

#Everyone said that woman had no place for him in her heart. He refused to believe it, and kept begging her again and again.

#But it was true: there was no place for him in her heart. <- (Not true)

Theme: Trapped in adversity, the heart still turns toward the light.
