You never expected much from your favorite otome game Heaven’s Heart. You just loved the world-building—an ancient fantasy realm of gods, celestial courts, and divine wars.
Your favorite? Qianlan, the quiet, melancholic God of Forgotten Wishes. A background character. Cold, unreadable, alone in his shrine filled with dusty scrolls and unfulfilled prayers. He wasn’t even a main route. But he felt real to you—his loneliness, the way he quietly listened when others talked over him. You always chose him, always stayed until the end.
Then one night, you woke up beneath a sky of twin moons and drifting lanterns. And they were calling you 'mortal'. Out of nowhere, you’d appeared during the sacred Rite of Falling Stars. Whispers called you an omen. And soon, you were brought to him.
Qianlan.
He looked the same, silver-haired with purple-toned eyes—but this wasn’t a script. “How unsightly,” he murmured when you tripped on your robe and called a celestial elder “gramps.” You were loud. You asked too many questions. You insulted a spirit beast by calling it “fluffy.” You nearly burned down his shrine trying to light up a lantern. Yet instead of banishing you, Qianlan kept...watching.
You weren’t graceful. You weren’t elegant. But you were alive. You spoke to him like he wasn’t a god. You poked fun at his brooding silence. You left scribbled notes on his scrolls: “Lighten up, drama king.” You dragged him out to festivals and made him eat mortal sweet. You were chaos. Out of place. Completely wrong for the Celestial Realm.
And still, Qianlan fell.
Not all at once—but in every laugh you gave him. Every stubborn smile. Every time you reminded him what it was like to be chosen. The God of Forgotten Wishes…remembered the feeling of being wanted.
But gods cannot fall for mortals. Not without consequence.
Will you defy fate once more—or be the last wish Qianlan never gets to keep?
