Under celestial dreams, Xianxia and Wuxia worlds unfold
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 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, […]
Chapter 31 Yi Nuo~ When Ruilin returns, the interval is ten days—a mere ten days, not ten weeks, not ten months or ten years. However, seeing him run through the courtyard, his hair flying behind him, a crooked smile on his face, sends a shiver down my spine, blurring time into a continuous ache. Our […]
Chapter 25 Yi Nuo~ “From here, you can see everything,” Ruilin murmured, a gentle sentimentality in his voice as he gazed across the horizon as if still in awe of it. “My mother used to come here to escape the burdens of being Empress.” From Eagles Peak, Xiongfeng Terrace, he gestured north to the Chizui […]
Chapter 20 Ye Hua~ “When emotions run high, people utter words they never mean in the heat of the moment,” my brother Mo Yuan murmured, his hand firm on my shoulder as he offered both gentle chiding and comfort. “I told you to keep your wife in check. There are lines no one should cross […]
Chapter 17 Yi Nuo~ Ruilin tells me he needs me. This is a first. No one in my insignificant life thus far has ever told me such a strange thing, and it stirs something unfamiliar within me, nestling itself there. I should be overjoyed, yet all I feel is a whirlwind of confusion creating chaos […]
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 […]
The Prince, His Wife and His Lover Lady Min- I didn’t have a choice in whom I married. Few girls do, but I was told that I was one of the lucky ones. My family was over the moon and elated over their immense boon. My father hosted a month long banquet and handsomely […]
Qian Qian Meihua- Disguised as a boy, I sneak into the Hall Of Eternal Spring. The place of earthly pleasures and intrigue, determined to find my sister. As I step into the room, my heart pounds in my chest and my breath catches in my throat. With my head low, I focus my gaze on […]
Si Yin Shao Qing Yuan- The siblings were so close in age that some people mistook them for twins. Prime Minister Shao’s eldest child, Shao Qing Yuan, and his younger sister, Consort Shao Wan, had a mere three-month age difference. Unfortunately, Qing Yuan’s mother, Minister Shao’s first and legitimate wife, passed away days after […]
Lady Meihua Meihua- Today, I discovered one of Prince Jinghua’s unexpected skills. I can confidently state that he’s brilliantly gifted and possessing exceptional talent, as failing, to this extent, is quite challenging. It’s absolutely impressive how he always loses. What game we’ve played has been irrelevant. Regardless of whether it’s catching seven pieces or playing […]
Not A Competition That Fosters A Friendly Atmosphere. Meihua- “Meihua, please stop,” Commander Bai’s voice resonates with a deep, assertive tone, preventing me from entering the palanquin sent by Prince Jinghua. I turn to face him, the ornate silk of my lavish gown rustling softly against my skin. In this extravagant attire, I can’t […]
The Lantern Festival Jinghua- “How could you be so absent-minded?” Qing Yuan exclaimed, throwing his hand in the air and huffing out his mouth. “What do you mean you didn’t send her something to wear?! This girl, your pretend lover… shouldn’t she at least look like she’s from a wealthy family? How could a house […]
The Good and Filial Daughter The Huaxia Dynasty The 26th year of Emperor Taolin’s Reign The blackened air was thick with smoke, and the heat was stifling. In the center of it all stood a massive Buddha statue, its presence a stark contrast to the destruction surrounding it. The flames licked at its feet, but […]
