Zi Mu loved string-puppetry and traveled across mountains and rivers with the puppet he had made with his own hands. To give the puppet sentience, he even became an immortal cultivator and ascended to the ranks of the immortals.
But he waited tens of thousands of years, and never once did his puppet come to him.
...Did he really never see it again?
I got the inspiration from listening to "Qian Si Xi" the other day. It's a beautiful song, and I highly recommend the original version or Bai Yin Luya's cover. The writing style might change abruptly between sections because the author is an idiot ==
The original title was "Puppet," but it overlapped with the title of a work suspected of being pornographic and subversive (...), so I had to change it.
Author's profile: won't you save this adorable author? ↓
The gorgeous cover art is by the hardworking artist at Bailuzhou Studio. They made two pictures, and the other one is beautiful too.
Theme:
I think it would be more touching to let the protagonist know that he personally killed the puppet soul.
Maybe in the end, Xianjun no longer loves the doll, but a twisted obsession
What a feeling! Ah, I want Xianjun to know the truth
