The Seal of Yao:The Beginning
Destiny does not ask for permission.
Once it starts moving, it never stops.
Gu Xingyu, a psychology student who believes in logic over fate, never imagined that a bronze pocket watch would drag her into the Yao Realm—a world where ancient elemental powers collide with strange, almost mechanical inventions.
Chosen as the Seeker, Xingyu is bound to the Seal of Yao.
Her mission is simple to state, but impossible to ignore:
find the five bearers of the Yao Power before a devouring void erases the world itself.
Her first encounter is with Lin Lie—a brilliant, cold, and notoriously rude inventor whose sharp intellect rivals his emotional distance. As more bearers emerge, Xingyu quickly realizes that power alone won’t hold this team together.
In a realm ruled by secrets, trauma, and supernatural abilities, her greatest weapon isn’t magic—it’s her ability to read minds, unravel motives, and confront the truths people hide from themselves.
Five elemental seals.
Five dangerous, broken, and unforgettable men.
One ticking watch that refuses to slow down.
Will Xingyu master the Seal of Yao—
or become just another soul it consumes?
Inspired by a real handcrafted talisman.
