Mo Yuan Since the beginning of our dynasty, every noble family, depending on their merits, is recorded in the royal annals. Their moments of fame and glory, mentioned here and there similar to ink spatters upon the ancient scrolls. Only the Bai family has their own section in the royal library. Close to five dozen…
The Forbidden City Shao Wan~ The lively scene of birds playing shook in her tensed hand. Vibrant colors swished more than swirling as the soft green, and bold fuchsia silk fan wavered to and fro erratically. Every anger-fueled flip of her wrist caused Shao Wan’s golden and jade bracelets to make clamorous clinking sounds and…
Shao Wan Imperial Consort Wan understood the reasons many called her the most stunning woman in the entire Dynasty. Full of vanity, she beamed to herself, studying her beautiful reflection and delicate features in the mirror while her eight assistants busily dressed and prepared her for the day. Roughly slapping a hand away from her…
Bai Qian Bai Qian lived without standing on ceremony and rigid customs even though she was Ming’s future Empress. Growing up in a Buddhist monastery had been a peaceful and carefree existence.

Some declared the Gods created them in their Celestial likeness. Pure excellence radiated from them more than any of the other royal offspring. Ming’s legitimate identical imperial twins bore the regal poise from generations of royal blue blood breeding. And along with their Empress mother’s unequaled graceful beauty, the young men were devastatingly handsome. From…
Ye Hua The meaning of life? In my humble opinion, it is the most often asked and utterly moronic question in the world. Many seek, but only fools search for something that doesn’t exist. I use the term fools like clowns because my older twin sibling and I find life absurd, comical and nonsensical. Here…
Mo Yuan They say we come into the world alone and depart in the same lonely way. Whoever thought this concept to be true never had an identical twin. I must be truly blessed because I’ve never been alone, even inside our mother’s uterus, my brother has been by my side. Just less than two…
Bai Qian Have you ever felt completely alone? Like a stranger in your own body and living a life that wasn’t yours to live? Wearing foreign skin that didn’t belong to you? Never fitting in or feeling understood? Not knowing who you are? Even the reflection staring back at you in the mirror seemed deceitful…
Mo Yuan~ Though not encouraged. Sharing bodily pleasure, sexual intercourse with humans isn’t against any Celestial rules and laws. We may not divulge the information, but we’ve all done it on the sly, on the down-low. I’m no different. Like other immortals, I’ve sampled and been served by, enjoyed a mortal female out of curiosity…
Ye Hua~ Petty possessiveness and male rivalry are qualities lacking in my character. I’m not generally a jealous man by nature. I’ve never cared enough about anyone to keep a woman around after being served. And sharing a woman with Mo Yuan isn’t anything out of the ordinary but this one. This female, I don’t…
Si Yin~ Sometimes I can’t, but question if coming to Mount Kunlun will have the opposite outcome of what my parents hoped, and I’ll be more wicked than before? Because, try as I may, oh no, it’s happening again. Here I am, a Kunlun disciple sitting upright, most properly and engrossed. Or I’m striving to…
Ye Hua~ The speed of her transformation as Qian Qian went from being a glowing ember before turning to chilling stone left him reeling as much as her kiss. Just milliseconds before, Qian Qian had been burning up with pure desire and heat in his arms. Bubbling over with fiery passion, devouring his mouth breathlessly…
Perpetual Eclipse… Die Feng~ From the beginning, due to his brother’s personal preferences in bedfellows of which he didn’t pass judgment, second born son, Die Feng, recognized his older brother, the Crown Prince, would perhaps never sire children. And the fate of his royal family’s name, possibly even his family’s legacy unavoidably fell on his…
Mo Yuan~ “Bai Zhi didn’t think everything through. His response was impulsive! He failed to seriously consider the ramifications of his actions, or what could happen!” I hear Zhe Yan speaking but I’m silently wondering, what is it about the ‘little dove’ that I can’t get her out of my mind? She’s gotten under my…
Mo Yuan~ Zhe Yan declared. “Mo Yuan, I was there and saw everything with my own eyes!” He hadn’t stopped pacing since stepping foot on Kunlun Mountain, and he spoke as quickly as he paced, “Ye Hua is too cunning and smooth for his own good! That horny Black Dragon sent Xiao Wu over ten…
