Some threads tie us to the ones we love. Others bind us to a destiny we never asked for.



Seventeen-year-old Ahri Seo never believed in fate—until the night she saw glowing threads connecting strangers, binding souls like constellations across the city sky. After surviving a near-death subway accident near Gyeongbokgung Palace, she’s pulled into a world where destiny is real, threads carry power, and ancient spirits still whisper through forgotten temples.



Taken in by a reclusive monk and guided by the soft-spoken but powerful Jin, Ahri begins to train as a Threadseer, one who can perceive and manipulate the golden strands of fate. But as her powers awaken, so do ancient enemies: the Severed, a cult determined to unravel the fabric of the world—and led by a woman wearing a cracked fox mask who claims to know Ahri’s bloodline.



Beneath Seoul’s surface lies another realm—mystical, fragile, and teetering on collapse. Spirits, echoes, and hidden memories all intertwine here, and at the center of it all is a fox spirit whose intentions remain unclear.



As Ahri walks the edge between fate and freedom, she must uncover the truth behind her mother’s disappearance, the golden thread wrapped around her wrist, and the terrifying possibility that some stories were never meant to be rewritten.



In the spirit world, to pull a single thread is to risk unraveling everything.
