In patriarchal, 1700s China, the Matchmaker manipulates the red thread of fate with magic, keeping girls bound to the husbands she chooses for them. When a high-society Han Chinese girl and a Mongol girl on the run fall in love, they must break free of the Matchmaker’s thread in order to weave their own fate.

Renn Tan speaks six languages, but not their mother tongue. Growing up LGBTQ+ and an ethnic minority in Malaysia means they’ve always longed for a home that doesn’t try to throw them out. Every story they write reconciles that longing with belonging by pushing against the boundaries of conditional love.
