The Nuances of Trust (Chinese mythological story by me >_<)

soooooo this is a story based on Chinese mythology and Taoism! it is a Danmei, a genre that is "Boys' Love" (BL) stories and is primarily focused on male-male romance in China, kind of a Xianxia, a genre that's Chinese fantasy and is heavily inspired by Chinese mythology, philosophies of Taoism, Chan Buddhism, Chinese martial arts, traditional Chinese medicine, Chinese folk religion blah blah blah, stuff of that nature. It is also kind of a Wuxia, but I won't talk much on that.. 

The characters names are Qinglong Bai (the name Qinglong, meaning green/blue dragon, coming from the Azure Dragon. but in my story Qinglong, the way that Qinglong Bais grandpa is referred to, is not the Azure Dragon but in my story he is heavily influenced by the dragon and the importance of dragons in Chinese culture. and Qinglong Bai meaning white, bc Qinglong Bais palette is mostly white, which can represent morning, death, or could represent purity) and Wang Xishui (Wang, being a common last name in China meaning king I believe. and Xishui, being two characters, "Xi" can sometimes be used as a character representing a small stream or a flowing water body, signifying movement and fluidity, which is important to his religious practices, Shui- the word for water).

Qinglong Bais grandfather was a dragon god that fell in love with a woman and had a daughter named Dongyang (Dong, meaning different things, but in this context meaning Eastern, and Yang meaning sun, or sometimes “ocean” but in this context means sun). This is the mother of Qinglong Bai !! Qinglong Bai grew up in a more populated area and was liked by many individuals, mostly because of him being proficient in medicine and being able to help sick ppl, I'm still working on this part, probably thinking that his mother had knowledge of  traditional Chinese medicine and taught him. and because of him being so helpful, kind, and a good cultivator, he ascended and became a god yayyy!! he was a god for a few hundred years (Probably 300-500), made many friends (one really important one being Nushen Xingyun, the god of luck), and was working up the ranks, but then something big happened… he got into an argument with another, more powerful and worshiped, god bc one one Qinglong Bais followers had asked for help with something that he had thought was selfish (he also knew the man bc he would often go down to the mortal realm and do tasks and work in shrines, the man was also abusive to his wife) and so he ignored his prayer but then the man went to the other god and prayed to him, that interfered with Qinglong Bais area of spiritual worship, he got angry and complained to everyone and suggested that they put a stop to doing things that could actually hurt other people but no one would listen to him and he was sent back to the mortal realm (bc there was a giant argument with Qinglong Bai and some important heavenly gods), turned back into a poor child and his mother is now dead bc it was hundreds and hundreds of years later. he lives a new life and hides his "high rank" bc he wants to be treated with respect bc he is a good person and not bc he is the descendant of a dragon and was a god. He meets a man during his travels and falls in love with him (I am still thinking on if I should have this in his first or second life), but he is a general and doesn't return Qinglong Bais love and eventually ends up dying in front of Qinglong Bai during a war. And now in this life he is working on a shrine and to get more followers to reascend and become a god again. while looking for ppl, he meets Wang Xishui!!! :O

Wang Xishui is half Bangladeshi and half Chinese (but technically not bc this is a fictional world and it is just based on Chinese culture and the land) from his father walking from Bangladesh to China and meeting Xishuis' mother, they fell in love and live in a small village that worships water related gods (primarily focusing on Xuanwu the Black warrior of the north, also called the Black Turtle-Snake) and their villages culture was also inspired by Taoism (a Chinese philosophy and religion that focuses on living in harmony with the Tao, or the natural flow of the universe. The Tao is a principle that is the source of all things, and is sometimes translated as "the Way".) Water is a very important thing in Taoism and resembles harmony and balance. The ppl who live in the village follow this belief that water is very powerful and they have a winter festival (still working on this part too, but that also connects back to the Turtle-Snake bc they are also represented by winter and the fight within and to be able to survive)

Qinglong Bai and Wang Xishui hang out a lot, Xishui showing Qinglong Bai around his village and going with him on different kinds of missions and cleaning and cooking at Qinglong Bais shrine. one day Wang Xishui is talking about his beliefs and ends up talking about the winter festival and invites Qinglong Bai to the festival and while Xishui is getting dressed at his home (I’m thinking about making Xishui good at tailoring and embroidering clothes) Bai realizes that he is in love with Wang Xishui and has this huge breakdown while Xishui is getting ready bc he has still not dealt with the trauma of the general he fell in love with long ago. He ends up crazily telling Wang Xishui about everything. that he was a god, is a descendant of a dragon, that he is disappointed in himself and yeahh… Wang Xishui is hurt that Qinglong Bai wasn't honest with him from the beginning and starts to freak out a little and starts to distance himself away from Qinglong Bai (after he comforts him from his break down obviously) to be able to think everything over, but they get back together and they confess that they like each other and the end whateva whatevaa !! :3
