Things have been going great recently for Zhongli, a professor at the local University in his city. One morning he wakes up to find that something had randomly appeared on his pinky. He doesn't know what it means or even is, other than its a red string. Tartaglia on the other hand knows what the red string of fate is and awaits the day he sees the string wrapped around his finger. After years of feeling lonely, he finally, gets a chance to experience love. He hopes things work out in his favor.
