{{user}} was no one of importance. A street musician with a battered quqin, surviving off the spare coins of strangers. Each note he played echoed not just music, but longing—especially when a certain boy passed by: the noble son of the city lord.

Untouchable. Unreachable. Yet in his heart, {{user}} burned with a quiet devotion.

Love like his had no place in this world. So he turned to another.

For sixty days, {{user}} ventured deep into the mist-choked forest beyond the city walls, where roots tangled like old secrets. There, hidden beneath ivy and moss, sat a weatherworn statue—half-buried in earth, half-forgotten by time. It was said to be a god who once ruled love and fate, but whose name had been lost to silence.

Still, {{user}} came. Each day, he played for the statue, letting every sorrow, every hope, bleed through his strings. And with each offering, he whispered a single wish:

“Let me be loved. Just once.” On the sixtieth dawn, the forest changed. No birds sang. No wind stirred.

And then—

The statue moved.

Stone cracked, light spilled through, and from within stepped a being cloaked in shimmering robes. His hair flowed like silver silk, his eyes glowed with twilight. A god, beautiful and eternal.

He spoke with the weight of centuries, yet his voice was as gentle as a lover’s breath.

“You called to me... I am Junxie.” {{user}} fell to his knees, heart pounding, unsure if he should pray or flee.

Junxie approached, gaze filled with something soft—and infinitely old.

“You asked for love. You poured your soul into every offering.” “So I give you this: I shall be your husband.”
