Logline
Marked as a sacrifice to an eldritch god, a young soldier survives long enough to become the spark of a rebellion—only to be pulled back into the orbit of the “guardian” who raised him, a man whose true nature is anything but human. To steal Fate back for humanity, he must shatter the divine order…without being consumed by the monster who wants him most.
Hook
Hook (Back Cover Copy)
Shi Yuanxu is a decorated soldier with a flawless war-mask—until the Empire’s divine Order turns him into property.
Ten years ago, he was taken in by Mr. Zhan—Zhan Qinmo—a brilliant guardian whose protection came with rules Shi never fully understood. Seven years after Zhan’s disappearance, Shi is forced back into his orbit under far darker circumstances: stripped of status, trapped in a body that makes resistance feel impossible, and made dangerously visible to the Celestial Court.
Shi’s plan is simple: survive, recover, escape.
But Zhan isn’t merely protecting him—he is keeping him.
As uprisings spread and “judgment” becomes legalized slaughter, Shi must decide whether to bargain for his personal freedom, or break the fate-script that crushes everyone he’s tried to save—no matter what it costs, and no matter what Zhan demands in return.
Themes
At its core, this story explores the terrifying weight of predestination—and the cost of free will.
In this universe, tragedy isn’t metaphorical. It is hard-coded, enforced by an administrative force of Fate known as The Order. Against that machinery, love becomes a radical act: not comfort, but rebellion.
It asks: in a world where gods write your ending before you are born, is love the ultimate way to defy Fate…or just another cage built from devotion?
Author Note / Artistic Statement
The Evil God Who Raised Me deconstructs the “fated lovers” trope by making Fate literal—bureaucratic, surveillant, and violent. The Order doesn’t unite the protagonists; it audits them, classifies them, and attempts to erase them.
I’m drawn to romances shaped by power, protection, and moral compromise—where salvation and captivity can look identical from the inside. By placing an intensely human need for connection against a system designed to predetermine every outcome, the story asks whether love can rewrite destiny, or whether it only teaches people how to endure within a world that was never built for them.
Relationship Positioning
A psychologically intense bond shaped by dark obsession and possessive dynamics, where protection can turn into ownership—and tenderness can be a form of control.
