Under celestial dreams, Xianxia and Wuxia worlds unfold
Ye Hua He snorted. So abrupt, fast and sharp, it hurt his nostril. Undoubtedly not a dignified sound for the future Celestial Emperor, but Bai Qian had that effect on him — like a sudden gale tearing through his intricately arranged mental scrolls, like the unruly tendrils of wavy hair at his temples that rebelliously […]
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 […]
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.

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.

Ye Hua Contrary to the Fox Princess’s description of modest living, Ye Hua’s temporary residence for the next three months was a large bungalow on a spacious private estate in a secluded part of Southern Qingqui. Clearly, he and Bai Qian obviously used different size scales. It was far from being a small quaint cottage […]
Ye Hua He felt her accusatory glare, and her silent screams echoed in his mind. “You’re the one, I know it! Deceiving me and pretending to be your brother is unacceptable! I’ll expose you as a fraud to everyone. My family is going to whoop your dragon behinds!” They stood in the Crown Prince’s outer […]
Bai Qian In a dazed stupor, Bai Qian lingered in a trance long after “Mo Yuan” walked out of their date. She stayed at the tea house until the owner finally kicked her out at midnight so he could close shop. Back home, she stood in front of her mirror, scrutinizing her reflection for hours […]
Ye Hua “There you are, Crown Prince. Shifu has been waiting for you,” said Wang Xiao, Mo Yuan’s fifth disciple, greeting Ye Hua with his usual smooth charm. Wang Xiao, despite his angelic looks, was notorious — a ruthless card player who favored flirtatious and morally flexible goddesses. Ye Hua nodded, a habitual gesture of […]
