They say I'm the second stone in the world to gain sentience. The first eventually became known as Wukong, and accompanied a venerable monk west to fetch the scriptures. After enduring eighty-one trials, he now chants Buddhist sutras on Mount Sumeru.
I figured I ought to become a celestial immortal at the very least.
Unfortunately, my master is merely a marriage official under the Old Man of the Moon. All he does all day is have me tie red strings, boasting as we work about how he once stood above thousands of soldiers and was the talk of the town. In the end, he always sighs, 'If I hadn't accidentally lost the Queen Mother’s treasured Jade Dew back then, letting it fall into the hands of some stubborn, incorrigible...'
Me: Yes, yes, it's my fault, all my fault. You take a rest, Master. Leave it to me!
Alas, becoming an immortal is a hopeless dream for me.
I thought I'd spend my days tying red strings, until one day I found a mirror glowing with a strange light in my master's room...
Mu Lingyu: I just don't get it. Why is every person I possess so troubled by love, and so utterly miserable about it? This spirit stone is in a real bind.
Mu Fangyuan: ...I was prepared for this, but... they're all your past lives.
Mu Lingyu: ?!?!
Mu Lingyu: No wonder. You can't rely on men. Pigs can climb trees before that happens. Isn't getting promoted and rich so much better?
Mu Fangyuan: ...
Several worlds later.
Mu Lingyu: (sighing) So this is what having a heart feels like... I still think life was better before I had one.
Mu Fangyuan: (panicking) Lingyu?
Mu Lingyu: I just regret that if we hadn't fallen in love, you wouldn't have ended up like this.
Mu Fangyuan: You're right.
Mu Fangyuan: But Lingyu, I've never regretted it. I've only ever been grateful. In heaven or on earth, all I wish is to spend this life by your side.
A story about helping a stone spirit who's heartless and foolish regain the ability to love.
1v1, older top and younger bottom, both transmigrating through worlds quickly. (A fake low-level civil servant who's actually a big shot) master top x (an apprentice bent on getting promoted) bottom. They transmigrate together.
Worlds include: ordinary court politics, wuxia, childbirth (the ge'er husband setting), historical ABO, cultivation, and xianxia. (Yes, all the quick transmigration worlds are historical.)
The first world is underway
1. Court politics
A lovesick young general from a distinguished family sacrifices the use of his legs so the one he loves can steadily rise in court. He believes his sincerity will be returned in kind, but instead he is exploited at every turn and his whole family is slaughtered...
Time turns back, and a heartless stone spirit transmigrates to the starting point of the tragedy. Only then does he learn that everything has another cause, and that his deep love was misplaced.
Theme: Sincerity can move even stone
