Chapter 1431.1
There were myriad differences between a god with emotions and one without. However, the biggest difference was the former’s susceptibility, perhaps even propensity, to making mistakes. Emotions often served to over-complicate and cloud judgment, eliminating the inherent objectivity traditional gods operated under.Recalling the wish she needed to grant Si-Woo, Willow began to seriously doubt her own judgment. “Did I pick the wrong one?”
That was despite Si-Woo and Park Seung-hyun's requests being, frankly, far too modest for wishes made to a god.
Nonetheless, Willow and Neltarid had expected the wishes to be fairly mundane, not bothering to worry very much about them before accepting the requests and offering their services.
The real problem began once they got into the real meat and implications of the wishes. Willow had tried to dump the hard job on Neltarid by giving him Moderation, keeping Si-Woo’s simple matchmaking wish for herself.
By the letter, Si-Woo’s request was asking for quite a lot. Matchmaking while preserving free will would certainly be beyond difficult to do for more... homely wishers. Fortunately, Si-Woo was handsome, well-mannered, wealthy, and quite famous.
Still, exceptional people didn't necessarily need to partner with similarly successful people. Given Si-Woo's broad taste, instead of fishing through tabloids for prospects, Willow focused on finding someone who shared a proverbial red thread of fate with him.. Considering his personal tastes, Willow meticulously searched for beings who could be connected with him with the red thread of fate.
However, things couldn't have gotten off to a worse start for the young goddess. It didn't take long before she was forced to realize how hard it was to select a fated partner for someone.
Willow was the Goddess of Harmony, not some Goddess of Love. No matter how intricately she was able to grasp an individual’s feelings and emotions, she couldn't possibly know at a glance if a man and a woman would fall in love, or if they’d even stay happy once they did.
Ever the resourceful one, she made the executive decision of taking a shortcu— tactically efficient path. She used the beautifully thick and loving red thread of fate connecting Davey and Perserque as a baseline to effectively filter through countless potential partners for Si-Woo.
She sought a soulmate for Si-Woo, someone who could love him just as much as Davey and Perserque loved each other. A soulmate, destined by fate.
Remarkably, the strategy was actually viable! She heaved a sigh of relief and filtered for the soon-to-be love of Si-Woo’s life, but the outcome was beyond her expectations.
She stood speechless for a good minute before finally managing to mutter, “How is that even possible, bro...?”
The filter returned zero results. Zilch. Nada. Not a single person on Earth shared such a connection with Si-Woo.
