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. It was before sunrise, a time of grey and uncertain light when the boundary between night and day is blurred, and the land is submerged in […]
Chapter 8 Prince Ruilin~ “My father is coming today and bringing along an important guest from the capital who plans to sponsor the temple.” It’s Ya Qi, the girl who I fear wants to eat me. She is standing in and covering the entire doorway with her broad frame. I find it shocking that anyone […]
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 […]
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. Conversely, others depict her as a hero who sacrificed her life to safeguard me, my sister, and possibly even the world from a powerful […]

Ye Hua I dream about her often, but there’s this one dream I keep having nearly every night recently. Surrounded by peach trees, Qian Qian is in Zhe Yan’s orchard. She has a tender smile and sparkling eyes. Beckoning me closer, she calls out my name, “Ye Hua, come quick,” her lips forming the words. […]
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 […]
