Pull Strings (2026)
Overview · Where to watch · Cast & crew · Reviews
Li Changshou, a terminally ill patient in his previous life, is reborn into the Primordial World as a low-level Qi cultivator who cherishes life and avoids all karmic entanglements. Determined to dodge the great calamity foretold by the Heavenly Dao, he adopts the "Way of Steady" — his ultimate goal being to secure a humble post in the Heavenly Court and survive quietly. He operates with extreme caution: when still, he's as steady as an old dog; when he moves, he shakes the heavens. He firmly believes the era of bloodshed is over — better to trick than to kill, better to stay single than to fall in love. Yet enemies and beauties keep surging toward him like tides. Before he knows it, he becomes a mastermind pulling strings behind the scenes, entangled in power plays among multiple factions, orchestrating the "Dragon Clan's ascent to Heaven" — and even the great calamity itself accelerates toward him…
