The Flower Market Immortal Venerable You Picked Up

You are an ordinary puppet artisan in the cultivation world of JJ.

Everyone here follows the ironclad rules of a clean romance: a kiss seals the relationship, reproduction happens behind a fade to black, and everything below the neck is strictly off-limits.

One day, you come across an unconscious silver-haired man.

He looks wretched, barely dressed, like a crumpled rag. Below his handsome face, everything is an unspeakable mosaic.

Looking at injuries that JJ would never allow, you fall into thought.

As a kind-hearted JJ girl, you take the gravely wounded man home.

After he wakes, he doesn't cry, fuss, eat, or drink. He's easier to care for than a plant, though he doesn't seem particularly interested in living.

You take him in, heal him, and give him the name "Xiao Bai."

You like healing wounds and hearts that keep beating stubbornly.

You hope Xiao Bai can go on living.

About this story: 1. There is no romance between the leads, only friendship.

2. The male lead has suffered terribly. See the title and the author's note in Chapter 1 for details. His past is hinted at, but the focus is on recovering from trauma. His symptoms are partly based on C-PTSD.

3. A short story written without restraints. Feel free to comment.

Theme: The world would be doomed without girls!
