Soulmate Proximity

Due to a drastic record of failed marriages, an anonymous inventor decided to release an app that was installed in a wristwatch. The app's name was Hóngxiàn which means 'red thread'. It wasn't just a normal invention. This app can actually detect your soulmate.

People doubted it at first. But when public records showed divorce rates suddenly crashing, the whole world started paying attention. The Hóngxiàn Watch became a massive deal. Everyone rushed to get the watch, thrilled to skip the heartbreak and meet the perfect match guaranteed by tech.

Zheng Peng, who came from a broken home, watched all this with a deep longing. He saw how much pain a bad match caused and desperately wanted the security this app offered. Since he was poor, the watch felt impossible. Still, through sheer grit and hard work, Zheng Peng saved up every dime. He even went as far as borrowing money just to cover the high cost, until he finally got his hands on the device.

Strapping the watch on, a huge wave of relief hit him. He figured he was set, all he had to do was wait for the watch to find his future. But he has no clue what's really waiting. The Hóngxiàn Watch holds a dark, complicated secret, and it seems destiny has a serious, unexpected surprise in store for its newest customer.
