Under celestial dreams, Xianxia and Wuxia worlds unfold
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 […]
Chapter 36 Yi Nuo~ Two months. Sixty-one days. One thousand, four hundred and sixty-four hours. Eighty-seven thousand, eight hundred and forty minutes. It isn’t a clock that keeps the time for me. It’s my hair—strands I coil around my finger until they snap from the root. Each break is a quiet thunder in my fingertips. […]
Chapter 35 Yi Nuo~ The days after Ruilin left stretched into an eternity, each one a frayed silk thread, thin enough to snap with a sigh. Idleness, a silent enemy, threatened to suffocate me. I tried my best to ignore the slow passage of time, keeping myself occupied to avoid the emptiness left in the […]
Chapter 34 Feng Ming~ The air reeked of plums and lotuses in bloom, but all I could taste was the acrid bite of jealousy. They danced like lovers lost in a world of their own creation, careless and bright and maddeningly near. I had stood in the shadows of that east corridor, my palm feeling […]
Chapter 33 Ruilin ~ The guards. What are they doing? Why is he within my walls? Feng Ming stood exactly where he should not be—too close, too familiar to Yi Nuo, like a serpent sunning itself on sacred stone. I landed soundlessly behind the eastern colonnade. The courtyard breathed the perfume of late-spring peach blossoms, […]
