Under celestial dreams, Xianxia and Wuxia worlds unfold
Chapter 12 Yi Nuo~ A soft but unyielding hand was persistently patting my arm, pulling me from the depths of unconsciousness. Was it Abbess Mother summoning me to morning prayers? Or perhaps Feng Jun Hie, gently rousing me for breakfast? This made sense. Naturally, all that I had witnessed had been an awful and hideous […]
Chapter 11 Third Grand Prince Hongshi~ Dove trees, heavy with heart-shaped leaves and clusters of red blossoms, surrounded the gazebo at the heart of the imperial garden. Blooming wisteria draped the covered walkways, its lilac flowers hanging in fragrant cascades. “Hong’er,” my mother teased in a laugh like tinkling silver bells that hasn’t changed since […]
Chapter 10 Ruilin~ Feeling restless, I had been writing poems about Princess Changying when my attention was drawn outside by the familiar noises that seeped through the open window.

Chapter 7 Yi Nuo~ Before dawn, far from the others in the temple’s secluded west wing courtyard, I practice martial arts. The spot’s avoided, whispered to be haunted by my mother’s ghost, but to me, it’s tranquil. A small pond that once held a twenty-five-year-old Coy fish mirrors the undisturbed sky above. Cherry trees in […]
Chapter 6 Yi Nuo~ Hot mung bean soup is usually my favorite, but not today. Ya Qi intentionally knocks my bowl as she walks by, causing it to end up in my lap, covering me with thick red soup. “Oops, I’m sorry, Yi Nuo,” she says, not looking sorry at all and smirking. She lifts […]
Abbess Lian Qian~ The temple reverberated with the sound of clapping thunder, while the scent of petrichor wafted from the damp earth. Lightning crackled in the night as storm clouds enveloped the sky in darkness, releasing a deluge of rain. The atmosphere hummed with an uncommon energy. Between 3 and 5 am, known as the […]
Bai Qian~ Between Heaven and Earth, I never expected to find a place of solace in the Demon Realm. Surprisingly, it is there that I feel most at peace these days. What’s even more unexpected is that instead of turning to Ye Hua or family, the person I find myself seeking company with is none […]
Chapter 3 When I first accepted Prince Ruilin to be my husband, my father was the first to express apprehension, worried that I was making the decision solely for the benefit of our clan. My siblings also had their reservations, questioning the vast differences between us and his apparent naivety. A-li advised me to seek […]
Chapter Two The topic of my mother stirs numerous debates. Some view her as a dangerous temptress who created discord between brothers by seducing them both, labeling her as an adulteress.
