When Spring Returns

The spring sunshine is warm, all things grow, and life flourishes. Every calamity has vanished without a trace, as if it were all a dream. "Where will you go now?" Fu Yue asks. Mian Yue looks out at the boundless clear sky and smiles. "The world is vast and the sky is high. Where can't I go? Where can't I roam?" She can't help thinking of that cup of Biluochun, that skewer of candied hawthorns, Mu Zhao, Yunchuan, the ginger crushed beneath a roof tile, the low, humble grave, and the two soul-calming bells strung with emerald-green cords on the soul-calming tree... Her eyes grow wet before she knows it. But all things in heaven and earth continue to cycle. Perhaps they will meet again someday. Note: 1. This story is set in a female-centered world. All gender-neutral terms, including but not limited to elders, passersby, cultivators, titles ending in "Jun," and deities, refer to women by default unless explicitly stated otherwise. 2. The bonds between characters are platonic by default. They may be confidantes, kindred spirits, rivals who respect one another, friends who would die for each other, or as close as sisters, but their relationships are never romantic or sexual. 3. There are no one-dimensional, absolutely evil villains. Content warnings: 1. This is a female-centered world, but not an all-female world. The main cast is entirely female, while some cannon-fodder characters are men. Due to the setting, one fairly important character is a man for a time, but ultimately returns to being a woman. 2. I want to create characters with diverse personalities, so some may not be very likable. Theme: All things have a spirit. May the world be at peace, and may everyone find their way through their own struggles
