The emperor's woman (unedited)
Set in fictional ancient China. Changning's first marriage proposal was from Qi Yu, her childhood friend and emperor of the realm. Her packed luggage and the carriage taking her back to her hometown far away from the palace and the capital city had been her reply. Now, more than eight years later, an emergency had drawn her back to the capital city, into the familiar arms of the man who had stolen her first kiss as a young boy. Qi Yu had ascended the throne at only seven years old and Changning had been his only refuge through it all. She had rejected his proposal years ago, and left without even bidding him farewell. Now that he was older and in control of his royal court, he would not be letting her go. A best friends to lovers story where one of them has always been in love and the other was just too afraid to admit it. DISCLAIMER: This is a fanfiction based on side characters in the Chinese historical show and novel 'Pursuit of Jade'. I am not knowledgeable on Chinese history, so this story is purely fictional and not based on any real historical events. I am just using a few of the terms I have learnt through watching c-dramas. The story is original and takes place years after the show. AGAIN; everything is purely fiction adapted from my imagination, google and my very limited knowledge as a Chinese drama watcher. All the images used are not my own, they are from Pinterest.
where the thorns grow
WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN YOUR WORST NIGHTMARE IS INVITED STRAIGHT INTO THE HEART OF YOUR HOUSE? Seven years ago, Rhysa Jiang ran. She buried her past, chose to start over from a clean slate. She became a near legend, the only female Iron Wolf, deciding to become something new. They've hunted her down ever since, and until now she'd managed to evade their search. But now they've been invited to Sai. The Scarlet Palace. Her only home, her safe haven. And Rhysa has a suspicious feeling she's not going to be able to escape the Falcons' grasp this time. After all, she's a deserter, and those pay in blood around here. Dominic Lang had learnt long ago that Rhysa's past was something that shouldn't be dug up. Sure, he had his suspicions, but after being partners for six years, you learnt to trust someone. And if there was one thing he knew about Rhys, it was that the girl was fearless. So her sudden terror makes no sense. Her sudden caution, her sudden reluctance to even show her face in public is completely baffling. And he'll get to the bottom of this. Because Rhysa Jiang had been hiding the entirety of herself from him for too long, because there was nothing he loved more than a good mystery and challenge, and Rhys might just be the biggest one of all. It was just what friends do. (book #1 of 4 in the court of bones series, the third instalment in the silk and steel chronicles can be read as a stand-alone)Complete
