You Have to Believe Me, I'm Really a White Lotus

This story includes childbirth. Childbirth, childbirth. Please be warned! I originally wanted to write a slow-burn romance about farming, but as I kept writing, I realized this was actually a story about two online friends hooking up on a forum and then launching into a lightning-fast life of steamy romance and making everyone jealous. So, before it made the rankings, I revised it a little: I moved the first forum-style chapter to Chapter 2, and shifted the rest accordingly, leaving Chapter 13 blank. Everything else is unchanged. A pink lotus spirit who is determined to turn white finds the mountain god who once enlightened him online. He moves to the god's mountain, soaks in his waters, farms and provides for their household, and cares for his benefactor, who is in seclusion (and as immobile as a plant). He gathers the scattered fragments of his benefactor's true spirit from different worlds to bring him back to life, and may even end up pregnant with a few little lotuses fathered by his benefactor, though certainly not three or four hundred of them. Lian Nianchu: "[Help] I want to repay the immortal who once enlightened me, but I've changed color a bit. I'm afraid my benefactor won't recognize me. How can I turn back into a snow-white white lotus? Urgent, waiting online!" Yue Qingfeng: "[Help] I gave some advice on a forum to a young Daoist who wanted to repay a benefactor, only to realize that I might be the person he's looking for. I'm not the sort who expects repayment for a favor. What's the best way to tell him who I am? Urgent, waiting online!" The setting is the same as in A Little Unscientific and A Winner in Life: a massive online game for cultivation sects connects the Myriad Worlds, and there's a forum too. The protagonist of each little story is a reincarnation of a fragment of the top's true spirit. It's still a story about a winner in life making a triumphant return. Theme:
