About

Cuttlefish That Loves Diving (爱潜水的乌贼) is the pen name of Yuan Ye (袁野), a Chinese web novelist from Emeishan, in Sichuan province. He graduated in computer science from Sichuan University in 2007, began publishing serialised fiction online in 2011 and turned to writing full time in 2013.

Writing on Qidian, his novels include Throne of Magical Arcana, The Sage Who Transcended Samsara, Martial Arts Master, Embers Ad Infinitum and Circle of Inevitability.

He is best known for Lord of Mysteries, serialised from April 2018 to May 2020, which sets Lovecraftian horror and a rigorous potion-based magic system in a Victorian-inspired industrial world; it has since been adapted as an animated series, and Yen Press began publishing an official English translation in July 2025.
