Gazelle was a writer who built worlds to escape her own traumatic past, but when she wakes up inside the very fiction she did not create, she realizes her mind has become her cage. In this realm, the butterflies are cursed witnesses, the forests are untamed, and the characters she penned have gained a terrifying consciousness.

Forced to rely on the survival skills of a childhood she hated, Gazelle must navigate a world where reality is fracturing.

Aidan Pierce was the heir to the Pierce dynasty and grew up under the weight of authority and prestige. One of the most strong business empires in the city. But his life deteriorated when his cunning and cruel uncle, Victor Pierce, hatched a coup, painting Aidan as a charlatan and sloppy. Deprived of his legacy, banished overnight, Aidan was sent into the shadows, bearing the weight of treachery and the death of everyone he loved. Aidan is left with a difficult choice when a dark shadow from his past appears with evidence aimed to permanently destroy Victor once and for once. Believing this new buddy could mean giving up all he has rebuilt, but waiting could cost him his chance at success. Discovering a dreadful truth—that Victor pretended Aidan's mother died in order to seize control—and that she has been alive, imprisoned all these years strains Aidan's will even more. This revelation shakes Aidan to his core and also fuels his will with a fresh, very personal intensity. The narrative culminates when Aidan schemes a dramatic public exposure of Victor's network of crime, revealing the involvement of his uncle in armaments trafficking and money laundering. The plan is audacious and full of risks; it culminates in a dramatic press conference that might literally save the city. As success seems almost within reach, Victor acts desperately last-minute. His attempt to leave sets the stage for a high-stakes confrontation determining the Pierce legacy inheritability. Topics of treachery, atonement, and the cost of power entwine over Reclaimed Crown to emphasize the difficult balance Aidan must find between justice and retribution. Every chapter is suspenseful, taking readers farther into a world in which loyalty is a frail idea and trust can be the most deadly weapon of all. Standing on the balcony of the Pierce Corp tower, Aidan understands this is only the beginning as he sees the city that now whispers his name in both amazement and caution. The struggle to keep the crown—against both apparent and invisible enemies—has just begun, even if it may be snatched again.

I worked diligently in the entertainment industry but never got famous. Instead, I went viral for writing fanfiction about the top-tier movie star. Because netizens discovered that no matter which story of mine it was, he was always the one being tormented. They asked if I had ever been hurt by him. Hurt by him is an understatement! Because of this childhood friend, I was always the runner-up. I won a municipal award, he won a provincial award; I took the State English Exam, he took the IELTS. Now, even in the entertainment industry, he's doing better than me! But I never expected that when I opened Weibo the next day, the netizens went wild, and so did I. Rhys Pierce tagged me directly: Yeah, I'm indeed 7 inches.

On the night of our seventh wedding anniversary, my husband, Julian Pierce, called to me from the terrace of the charity gala. "Darling, could you fetch a shawl for our guest?" Before I could even rise, my best friend, Sabrina, was already gliding over with a smile. She picked up the shawl but didn't hand it to the guest. Instead, she stepped close, intimately straightening Julian's slightly crooked tie. Leaning into his ear, she whispered a joke that made him chuckle softly. Only when she saw me watching them did she offer a hasty explanation. "Oh, you know me, always messing around. It's nothing, really. Don't read into it." I held my tongue, gliding through the rest of the evening with a placid smile plastered on my face. Once we were in the car, I let Julian bask in the glow of the evening's success for a few moments before I spoke. "Let's get a divorce." The smile on Julian's face froze. He stared at me in disbelief. "Are you insane? Just because she helped me straighten my tie?" …

I spent three years chasing after Young Master Pierce of the capital’s elite circle, yet to him, I was nothing more than an annoyance. High and mighty as ever, he tossed me five million dollars and told me to disappear. So I did exactly what he wanted—I took the money and left. From that day on, my name became a forbidden topic to Young Master Pierce, the untouchable “white moonlight” buried deep in his heart. Five years later, we met again at a banquet. With my arm linked through my business partner’s, I walked past him like a stranger. In front of everyone, Young Master Pierce sneered mercilessly. “You’ve really lowered your standards. Even an old man will do now? So tell me, how many years are you planning to cling to him for this time? And how much money are you after?” Before I could respond, a small figure rushed toward me from not far away. “Bad uncle! Don’t bully my mommy!” My daughter spread her arms protectively in front of me, looking adorably fierce.
