Day Two
The Jade Guanyin
「lost」⋅❈⋅「found」
The Jade Guanyin is a pivotal moment in Luo Binghe's life. It was given to him by his most beloved person, his mother, the washerwoman. It was the washerwoman's love, and her wish for him to have a better life, that drove Luo Binghe to become a cultivator.
In「Proud Immortal Demon Way」 the Jade Guanyin was forever lost, as was Luo Binghe to his mother's teachings. In 「Scum Villain's Self Saving System」, it was kept safe by Shen Qingqiu and was given to Luo Binghe in his most vulnerable moment, reminding him of his mother and what life she wished for him.
The Jade Guanyin Prompt can be used to explore Luo Binghe's relationship with his mother or with his complicated feelings about staying loyal to her teachings as he faces adversity. How to use the Prompt is entirely up to the reader!
How do I submit my work?
Readers are to post their submissions with the tag #BingheWeek so the moderators tracking the tag can retweet and reblog. Readers need to tag their work, or it will get lost in the abyss. Please read the Guidelines for more information!
