[UNDER MAJOR EDITING]

Ever since I was a child, I can see the strings.
Strings that connect us to other people.
Strings that reveal what we feel towards others.

From Red to Black.
Just like love, that can turn into hatred.
From White to Black.

Alice Jade Martinez is an 18-year-old girl possessing the ability to see the fated strings. Working as a matchmaker, she bonds people to their fated partner.

But as nice as it sounds, her gift comes with a curse. She's forbidden to fall in love. If she does, the string's curse will activate and instantly kill that person... She fell in love once.
And he died. That's why she swears she'll never fall in love again.

A novel with overbearing characters. A series of love stories bonded by the fated string.

This is a story about a girl who can't fall in love. And a boy who can't feel anything.

“Fair point,” he said, looking at me sideways. 


The more he fixed his dull eyes on me, the more my blood runs cold. His chalky translucent face is too white for a human. Even his eyes seem dead to me. Not to mention his icy voice.
