Why Is This Red Thread Tied to Me?!

Yue Rushi is a new intern at the Matchmaker's training program in the Celestial Realm. Growing up watching people find love there, he has always dreamed of becoming someone like the Matchmaker.

He's diligent and stubborn. So when one of his intern assignments brings him face-to-face with a “hopelessly straight” man, he doesn't back down. Instead, the more setbacks he faces, the harder he tries.

The guy never goes out, so Yue Rushi finds a way to get a beautiful woman to ask for his contact information.

The guy slacks off at work, so Yue Rushi arranges for him to run into his kind-hearted boss.

The guy gets assigned to a university group project, so Yue Rushi makes sure he ends up in a group full of girls.

And that still doesn't work?!

Yue Rushi angrily crushed the agate in his hand, gritted his teeth, and decided to take matters into his own hands by becoming the guy's wingman.

On the first day they shared an apartment, the guy looked at him and said, “You're so beautiful. I really like you.”

Yue Rushi: ?

Lu Xiao is one of the Martial Gods stationed in the south by the Celestial Court, known as the “General Who Guards the South.” He ascended from the mortal realm after undergoing trials there thousands of years ago.

As the world continued to change and develop, the Celestial Court's rules were repeatedly revised. Lu Xiao, however, never changed at all, forever remaining as he had been thousands of years ago. He did his work, completed his duties, and had no worldly thoughts beyond that.

After he turned down three fairies who tried to flirt with him in a single day, Chi Ling Zhenjun, the Great Emperor of the South, suddenly realized there was a problem.

“General Who Guards the South,” Chi Ling Zhenjun said, “you know we're in the twenty-first century now. Don't you think you should be a little more tactful? We could learn more about new culture and ideas from the mortal realm. What do you think?”

Lu Xiao replied, “All right.”

Chi Ling Zhenjun nodded with satisfaction. “Good. Then you'll descend to the mortal realm soon, and after that, prepare to...”

Before he could finish, Lu Xiao picked up the scrolls and left.

After descending to the mortal realm as a university student in the modern era, Lu Xiao suddenly realized something was off.

In his first week on earth, a whole bunch of women suddenly added him on his phone.

Lu Xiao: ?

In his second week, the boss at his part-time job suddenly started batting his eyelashes at him.

Lu Xiao: ??

In his third week, he was assigned to a group project where every other member was a woman. What's more, all his female classmates seemed to be gravitating toward him.

Lu Xiao: ???

Even Lu Xiao, with his wooden head, began to wonder if people were really this forward these days. Then he looked down and suddenly noticed a red thread tied around his thumb.

Lu Xiao: ...Well, that's just great. Which fool tied a red thread around me?

From then on, Lu Xiao would snap any red thread he saw, until he brought in the little intern.

But he never expected that, from the moment he saw him, he wouldn't be able to look away.
