That much is certain. But on one fateful day, the spotlights flickered on, one by one, as he watched the actors stand motionless, waiting for the cue of the Guzheng. Their flashy costumes shimmered under the lights, and their faces were painted with striking white, black, and red eyeshadow. The opera burst to life, the audience captivated as the story unfolded through the actors' vibrant performances. Yet his gaze was drawn to one figure in particular. Behind the actors, as they sang and danced, sat a woman unlike any other, positioned beside the musicians. And that was the strangest part. The Bride was not part of the opera. -Paper Bride [Six Eared Macaque]

[Reader with They/them pronouns] The former LBD hostess must have parents, right? The heroes should probably bring her back to them. Unfortunately for the Six-Eared Macaque, the girl he saved took a liking to him, and she only has one parent, and they're single!

Reader had been home for a total of three months, safe and sound with her family. She loved it, unfortunately the universe seemed to have other plans as it drags her back into Sun Wukong and Macaque's world. However this time, it doesn't seem like they are going to let her go without a real fight, not when they have their bodies back and not when it has been oh so long since they've seen their beloved.

"You're back..." Knuckles gently press themselves against your cheek, like a feather touching you. As if you're fragile, it doesn't even try to press further. "I know it's you... I just know." The voice reassures itself, but it sounds like it's close to tears. "I'll keep you safe this time. I promise..." It speaks softly. He feels so familiar. He feels safe. It feels like you've been on several journeys to come across this person, and you've finally crossed with him in this age.

Gilded Memories Book 2 [SHORT STORY] ☆Bloomers Award 2023-2024 Participant☆ ☆COMPLETE 2024☆ A man afraid to speak his heart. A woman who cannot express hers with words. An odd pair, perhaps-but the king has his own way of loving his beloved Lilibeth. The old-fashioned way. Letters. He pours his thoughts onto paper, inked with the weight of all he cannot say aloud. Page by page, his emotions take shape-tender, reverent, sincere. And Lilibeth, ever patient, reads each letter with a quiet smile. She keeps them close, tucking them into a jar beside her bed, where they rest among his other missives. There, she can revisit his love again and again-each word a soft echo of his soul. To others, this way of loving may seem outdated. Uninspired. A relic of a slower, forgotten time. But as the old saying goes, "Old is gold. " And gold endures. Just like a treasured heirloom passed through generations, or a fading photograph that still holds warmth-his letters are steeped in something timeless. They are his heart. Old, golden, and ever hers. My Dearest Lilibeth, You kept them, didn't you? I'm glad. I don't mind writing to you, my dear. In fact, I could write you a thousand times more-just to tell you how much you mean to me. You, a woman who blooms like springtime, gentle and wild. I still wonder how a reckless, war-stained soul like mine ever found his way to you-and how you loved me so kindly in return. A woman blooming so softly... Let me love you the vintage way: Letters for my words. Flowers for my heart. My dear Lilibeth, I hope to see you again. And if I do, I promise-I'll send you letters once agai- "Hey, Monkey King. Who are you writing to?" A boy in a red bandana flopped down beside his mentor, sipping from a juice box. Wukong looked at him, then smiled gently. "It's for my dear Lilibeth." - [Gilded Memories] My Dear Lilibeth [Sun Wukong]
