The Stars Circle the Moon

(Older mentor and younger disciple + sweet everyday romance + not a power fantasy + no formulaic plot + slow burn)

A gentle, long-suffering mentor who dotes on his disciple, one-on-one with a cute, well-behaved disciple who loves cuddles.

[Present Life] Love him and protect him, wishing only that every year of his life be worry-free.

Ling Xing has a Water Spirit Root, but his master has protected him so well that he doesn’t even know what kind of spirit root he has. Those with a Water Spirit Root are punished by Heaven and struggle to advance in cultivation, yet his master has raised him all the way to the Nascent Soul stage.

In a dream from many years ago, Yi Yue decided that this star was his. But when the moment finally came, he realized he couldn’t bear to pluck it.

[Past Life] Two lives dwelled within the Star-Moon Stone, briefly separated.

The Star God looked at the newly born Moon God and said, “Lord Moon God, I’ll protect you now. Will you protect me in the future?”

The Moon God said nothing. But when the Demon God attacked, he stood in front of him. When the Divine Venerable made things difficult for him, he seized the divine throne and gained even greater power, all to protect that one glimmer of starlight.

[Heaven’s Punishment] The stars bore the consequences of the moon’s mistake.

The Moon God took the Sun God’s throne. From then on, the sun and moon shone together in the divine realm, but this also incurred Heaven’s punishment: they were destined to vanish. This time, the Star God stood in front of him.

Among three thousand stars, only I can divine a way out. Even after a hundred lifetimes, it will take no more than ten thousand years. Your Majesty, after I die, will you sink me into the Sea of Stars? I’ll come back.

[The Beginning] The sun rose and set, and the moon held the stars in its arms.

There is a Moon Palace in the Sea of Stars, and a river of stars above the palace.

It will exist forever.

[Extras]^-^

Yi Yue is cooking in the kitchen while Ling Xing sits on the sofa, eating watermelon and watching cartoons. The story of the stars circling the moon has finally reached a hundred episodes.
