The Book Demon of Mountains and Seas

[New novel coming at the end of 2026: Borrow Me a Cloud-Piercing Arrow. Please add it to your favorites.] When Yan Shu was still the little book immortal trailing behind Song Que, she was naive, innocent, and hopelessly in love. She spent all day pouting, rolling around, and begging for hugs, and Song Que patiently indulged her every whim. Back then, Yan Shu thought, this must be love! So when Song Que became an immortal, Yan Shu said excitedly, “Wait a few hundred years for me. I'll definitely find you in the mountains and seas!” Song Que smiled. “I'll wait for you, little book immortal.” Yan Shu struggled to catch up. She was battered and bruised on the path to immortality, only to learn at the last moment that becoming an immortal would erase her memories, and Song Que had no heart. To Song Que, she was a playmate, a disciple, a junior in cultivation, but never someone he loved. She was only one step away from immortality. To avoid losing her memories and to preserve a heart that remembered Song Que completely, Yan Shu stopped pursuing it. She built a study beyond the mountains and seas, trading stories she wrote about others for a long life. But it turned out that even a long life could bring forgetfulness. When she didn't come, he went looking for her. Song Que never expected that he would run into the little book immortal from all those years ago as soon as he descended the mountain. But when he saw her, instead of the familiar delight of a girl who had clung to him for over a thousand years, she gave him a strange look and asked... “Immortal, what should I call you?” Theme: Only by staying true to your heart can you find happiness.
