In her dreams, Li Meiyu always sees him-the man with haunting eyes who whispers her name like a curse. In the daylight, she is a brilliant journalist in modern-day Shanghai, investigating a string of disappearances that mirror an old folktale about a vengeful ghost bride. But when a near-fatal accident sends her soul spiraling into the past, she awakens in the body of a woman from the Qing Dynasty-a woman who was once deeply loved and brutally betrayed.

Caught in a web of fate and deception, Meiyu is thrust into a dangerous love story spanning lifetimes. In her past incarnation, she was the sheltered daughter of a noble family, promised to a man who adored her beyond reason-a man willing to carve his name into history through blood and sacrifice to keep her by his side. But their love was doomed, twisted by obsession and dark rituals.

Now, in the past, Meiyu must unravel the truth before history repeats itself. The man who once loved her in life-and hunted her in death-is still waiting. And in every timeline, his promise remains the same:
"Even time cannot keep you from me."

But does she belong to him... or is she meant to escape him?

Sorry for not being able to edit it Mei Ling, at thirty-nine, spent her life buried in work, sacrificing love and joy. As death approached, her final thought was bitter: *"I can't believe I'm dying like this... a virgin."* But death wasn't the end. In a swirl of light, Mei Ling woke in a new world-one of silk robes, lanterns, and cherry blossoms. She was now a young woman in the Tang Dynasty, reborn with a second chance at life. Determined to live fully, Mei Ling embraced each day. She wandered Chang'an's lively streets, tasting sweet pastries, dancing at festivals, and engaging with artists and poets. Every moment was an adventure. At a lantern festival, she met Li Wei, a scholar whose laugh was contagious and whose wisdom sparked her heart. As they shared hours of poetry and conversation, Mei Ling realized she was falling in love. With him, she felt seen, heard, and alive in a way she never had before. Their bond deepened, and Mei Ling understood that love wasn't just passion-it was about being present and embracing life's beauty in all its forms. Yet, doubts lingered. Could she truly find a place in this new life, or was she chasing fleeting joy in a world with its own rules? But Mei Ling remembered the promise she made: *Live.* And so, she did. She chose joy over expectation, love over obligation. With Li Wei by her side, Mei Ling embraced every moment, no longer burdened by the past. Under a full moon, Mei Ling smiled as laughter filled the air. No regrets. No fear. Just the future ahead. "This time," she whispered, "I will live." And with that, she stepped boldly into her new life. ---

In a vibrant Tang Dynasty-inspired kingdom, Lin Meiwei, a young woman from a modest merchant family, prays daily at her family's ancestral shrine for a husband as honorable and loving as her father. Her world crumbles when she discovers her father's infidelity, shattering her trust in love and men. Devastated by her mother's subsequent death, Meiwei vows never to love, dedicating herself to independence and her family's silk trade. Meanwhile, Prince Zhao Yichen, a kind-hearted but outcast royal, endures mistreatment in the imperial palace due to his low-born mother's status. Fate brings Meiwei and Yichen together in a bustling market, sparking an accidental connection filled with wary compassion. As their paths intertwine through chance encounters at temple festivals and shared moments of vulnerability, Meiwei and Yichen find solace in their mutual pain. But palace intrigue threatens their fragile bond, with the scheming Empress Dowager targeting Meiwei to control Yichen. Against a backdrop of lantern-lit rivers, hidden safehouses, and perilous escapes, their slow-burn romance blossoms amidst angst and emotional turmoil. Defying societal norms and personal scars, they learn to trust and love, forging a new life together in a seaside town. Rooted in Chinese traditions of filial piety, ancestral worship, and palace hierarchies, The Prayer Unanswered is a poignant tale of healing, defiance, and the transformative power of love.

AN: I've finally begun to expand my 2023 Novella into a Novel, thanks to @LemuelMcMillan for reading the Novella and inspiring me to develop it. I plan to publish one chapter every other week, although I may occasionally publish a bonus or catch-up chapter in between weeks if I'm able. ------------------------------ Between two worlds and two names, she must unearth the power within to shape her own future. ------------------------------- When Dr. Baiyu Tang volunteers for the Christmas night shift, she expects quiet halls and the usual sacrifices of an ICU physician. Instead, a catastrophic accident floods her small Midwestern hospital with patients, and one, a hauntingly calm man named Mr. Wei, changes everything. Hours later, a crash leaves Baiyu between life and death. She awakens not in a hospital bed, but in the silken red wedding chamber of Xiang Bai, a noblewoman in an ancient empire. The only clue to her fate is a keeper who claims she has been chosen, and a husband, General Bao, who is as honorable as he is enigmatic. As Baiyu navigates court politics, ancient customs, and her own haunting past, she must merge two lives, reconcile two hearts, and decide which world she truly belongs to. The Journey Forward is a sweeping tale of second chances, hidden power, and love that defies lifetimes. ------------------------- Based on my 2023 ONC Novella by the same name. ------------------------- © DCVBookfan.
