✨ Holiday Update from Unni ✨ Hello my dear readers, I hope this season finds you safe, warm, and wrapped in a little bit of magic. I’ll be taking a brief break from updates through the end of the holidays, but once the new year arrives, I’ll return with the long-awaited conclusions to Phoenix Song…
Ye Hua Ye Hua awoke to the sound of mortal sparrows chirping with all the decorum of palace gossips after a scandalous imperial feast. The creatures clearly had no reverence for divine suffering—especially the suffering of the Crown Prince of the Celestial Realm. Sunlight ambushed the room through paper screens like an assassin with poor…
Chapter 42 Bai Qian~ Evening shadows pooled like ink against the ancient stone walls of the Kunlun bedchamber, while candlelight danced across a folding screen of carved sandalwood and Silk of Cloudborne Ascension (云升绸, Yún Shēng Chóu), where silver-winged cranes soared between wisps of painted clouds, ascending toward immortal realms hidden in swirling mountain mist.…
Bai Qian~ The teahouse bustled with afternoon patrons—perfect for my purposes. After that Jade pool incident where Ye Hua had stood before me in nothing but a semblance of dignity, I needed witnesses. Many witnesses. “Perhaps the Jade Willow Teahouse for wine and tales?” I tapped my lower lip thoughtfully. “The one perched over West…
Ye Hua~ The water, once cold, now felt lukewarm from the heat of his own mortification—doing nothing to cool him. How could he have believed his Third Uncle Lian Song? Of all people! The same uncle who once tried to convince the great Donghua Dijun that mortal flatulence could power celestial carriages, eliminating the need…
Bai Qian The rules of our arrangement were clear as spring water: favor for favor, ledgers balanced. Since I had chosen our picnic, it was only fair that Ye Hua select our next encounter. My fox imagination conjured endless possibilities for a Celestial Crown Prince’s idea of “date”: perhaps a stiff-backed hour in some ancient…
Chapter 41 Changying My engagement to Ruilin came with a ledger of practical calculations. The marriage would forge an unbreakable alliance between Celestial and Phoenix blood, stabilizing the delicate balance that keeps the Eight Realms and Four Seas from tipping into chaos. Only Qingqiu stands apart from this equilibrium, their coffers deep enough to buy…
Dearest Xiao Wu, Your sudden courtship with Crown Prince Ye Hua caught your parents by surprise, but knowing you as well as I do, it’s clearly a tactic to spark jealousy in Mo Yuan. However, Mo Yuan is not familiar with such feelings. Yet, given your nature, you will probably insist on carrying on with…
In Memory of Alan Yu Menglong To Alan Yu Menglong—actor, artist, and keeper of tales.You were the Fourth Brother, the young Fox King, Bai Zhen’s devoted shadow, and every role you inhabited carried the weight of invisible wings. Your voice, your gaze, those moments of quiet strength: they shaped the stories we tell and the…
Hello, my loves! I wanted to share a small update regarding my writing projects. After much thought, I’ve decided to separate my stories into different spaces to better honor their unique tones and worlds. For my Xianxia readers —This blog, Celestial Dreams will remain the home solely for my fanfiction and original Series Children of…
Chapter 40 Rulin I know it’s you. When I rushed back from Nine Heavens, you were gone, but I found a single drop of your blood — Yi Nuo’s blood — had settled on the dark lacquered bedframe when you birthed our child alone. It glistened there like a ruby tear against the midnight wood,…
Chapter 39 I hadn’t wanted to come. Princess Changying’s summons arrived at dawn — inscribed on iridescent parchment that shimmered between jade and sapphire, each draconian rune pulsing faintly, as though alive. When I unfolded it, the characters slithered like silver-scaled serpents, rearranging themselves before my eyes until the message burned clear: Meet me in…
Chapter 38 I woke not in silence, but in the breath between heartbeats — where the world feels paused, and the soul has yet to decide if it will return. There was warmth, and the scent of peach blossoms soaked in grief. My body remembered agony, though my mind did not yet know its name.…
Hi everyone, I wanted to give you all a little update on what I’ve been working on lately. Many of you have followed me for a while and know I’ve been writing Xianxia fanfiction and my own branch-off stories featuring the Baofu Children. Most recently, that’s been Phoenix Fire, following Changying’s journey, and right after…
Chapter 37 Bai Qian~ It wasn’t a light I followed out of the darkness. It was my daughter, Ying’er. When I opened my eyes in Qingqiu, I did not rise from my bed. I was not needed there. No — an unseen tether, a soundless voice pulled me elsewhere, to a place where the past…
