Moonlit Songs

[A little short story from years ago. Feel free to take a look]

◎ An upcoming xianxia fantasy in my column, I Don't Want to Have a Bad Ending with My Dark Moonlight Again. The blurb is below. If you like it, please add it to your collection~

Blurb for this story:

The first time Yuan Shengyue saw Liu Xiuji, she knew he was the person she had waited years for.

A human life lasts only a few hurried decades. If you can meet someone and spend your whole life with them, that is the happiest ending of all.

[Reading Guide]:

1. One-on-one romance, happy ending, short story.

2. This is an older story being reposted. The original was a manuscript I wrote in high school, with a few changes. I didn't want to let it disappear, so I'm posting it here.

Upcoming story blurb:

◎ A born actress of a little goddess × A double-degree demon fiend and celestial immortal who watches you perform

Yun Yan transmigrated into a book and promptly lost her life.

Who could have known that after she died, her soul wouldn't return to the heavens and earth? Instead, she came back to life as an immortal in the Upper Realm of Xuanxu, governing all living beings and worshipped by thousands as a goddess.

However, a goddess's fate is predetermined. Ever since ten thousand years ago, every goddess had met a mysterious and gruesome death.

Yun Yan: "..." If it comes to that, I don't have to be a goddess.

To stay alive a few days longer, Yun Yan decided to win over the greatest villain of all, Shi Jiuxian, and cling tightly to his coattails.

She showered him with attention, used her charms, and went all in on the act... Yun Yan would stop at nothing.

Seeing herself get closer and closer to Shi Jiuxian, Yun Yan thought she was about to win him over. But Shi Jiuxian lazily raised his sword and smiled, his tone full of menace.

"A Yan, let me put you out of your misery early."

Yun Yan: "?" There is absolutely no need for that.

*

She had thought Shi Jiuxian was just sharp-tongued but soft-hearted, but she never expected him to put his words into practice right away.

When Yun Yan took medicine, he put more than ten kinds of poison in her bowl.

When Yun Yan cultivated, he disrupted her mind to make her fall into demonic cultivation.

When Yun Yan was injured, he released an ancient ferocious beast to help her meet her end.

Yun Yan, who had wanted to cling to his coattails, gave a dry laugh. "I can't stay alive. There is simply no way I can stay alive."

Who could have known that when she really died and became a demon one day, all the immortals who had treated her well would cry out for her to be beaten and killed, as if she had committed some unforgivable crime?

Only Shi Jiuxian smiled and caught her, his gaze tender and his voice gentle. "Yun Yan, let's go home."

*

Ten thousand years ago, the goddess was ordered to slay the demon fiend, and in the end she fulfilled her mission.

But afterward, the goddess imprisoned herself for a hundred years and eventually died under the demon fiend's curse.

Shi Jiuxian didn't understand why she had grieved so deeply when he died.

By the time he finally understood, the goddess could no longer return.

No one knew that on that day in Fengdu City, the demon fiend had broken his own tendons and bones, crossed the River of Forgetfulness, and forced his way into godhood.

Shi Jiuxian didn't care about becoming a god, nor did he care what the world thought of him.

He only wanted to be the version of himself Yun Yan loved most when he saw her again.
