Xie Yi-Jun; the King of Hei'an City, is a statue. Of course, he wasn't ALWAYS this way! And the curse itself, cast by the snake demon; Su Lan, can indeed be broken! This is good news... bad news? The only one who can break the spell is the King's soulmate; Jin Songcai. Who as it happens, is dead. Fast-forward about 700 years, and the forest where Xie Yi-jun was first turned to stone has become a bustling city. The old man on the corner tells the legend; that only The Stone King's true love can awaken him. Children, travelers, everyone goes to try it out, laughing at the old man's tale- Wen Reian, a young apprentice visiting the city has all eyes on him suddenly, as it seems The Stone King has been finally released! By him?! No, surely not... unless- Could Reian be the reincarnation of the King's first love; the infamous Jin Songcai? Thrown together by the fates, Xie Yi-jun and Wen Reian begin their journey together; the King mourning the loss of his family and Kingdom, while making startling connections between his lost lover and this young stranger... Wen Reian? Well, setting aside the fact that he's suddenly developing healing-powers out of no where, there's also his blatant and rather frustrating attraction to Xie Yi-jun that's getting in his way. But there's no way he's Jin Songcai. Hmmph, best to just ignore it... Unfortunately, whether they want to know or not, the questions still remain; Is Xie Yi-jun only destined for failure at the hands of his ancient enemy? Will Wen Reian ever realize the scope of his natural power?! And are they truly soulmates, or is there something else going on that could threaten to tear them apart forever? ** novel also posted on AO3 and Royal Road under the username palendrome_girl **
