Re: Intertwined Destiny
Bai Shuyin, a young high-schooler turned human vegetable, was transmigrated into a novel she casted aside because of how humdrum the plot was. Waking up as the poor sister who was destined to protect her baby brother villain and die a tragic death really was the cherry on the sundae. Normally Bai Shuyin would just go along with any role she was given since she hated complicated and troublesome things. "I hope this is worth the trouble," was what she thought to herself. She decided to go against the plot, perhaps, trying to change her fate as she went. However, she just realized that she had almost no clue about the book at all! What she knew was only the main characters and the villain. Not the major problem, not the climax, she didn't even know what happened at the end of the book. She thought people who transmigrated would have their own system who would elaborate the background of the book and sell hidden powers with countless missions to complete, yet she had none! She truly was a cannon fodder in this book. Bai Shuyin glanced at the little villain that throtelled after her. Should she ask him? What crisis would he go through in the future? Would he even know anything else besides sticking to her side like a glue? The title of this novel was called "The Crown Prince and The Devious Tyrant King". This little boy was nothing but a cute little pie. What caused him to blacken? However, in the unexpected chaos, love came hitting her out of nowhere. She was faced with a love interest in the form of a flamboyant red peacock, whom she found herself falling for. The wind blew gently against the red crimson hair, those indigo eyes burned into her own. With one knee on the ground; a gesture that shouldn't be done by a crown prince, and a hand stretched out towards her, he said, "Are you willing to rule over the world, side by side, with me as your companion?” This story is just about a dumb MC trying to survive in the world that ask too much of what her braincells could comprehend. *The cover is commissioned art, all rights belong to me and the artist, Laylee.
Author's Note + Setting
Anyone who is familiar with this chinese fantasy setting, feel free to skip this section.
Setting:
This story is heavily based on the genre "xianxia" though it leant more towards "Xuanhuan."
"Xuan" means mysterious and "Huan" means fantasy. All in all, Xuanhuan is a broader kind of fictional fantasy, even more supernatural and fantasy than "Xianxia." It also includes a lot of Chinese folklore/mythology(either it is a remix or rewrite) and sometimes mixed with foreign fantasy elements as well. It might include a little bit of Daoist elements, just not as much as "Xianxia."
In this story, I decided to use a little of Chinese mythology/folklore, for example the appearance of the guardians of the four cardinal directions; also referred to as The Four Guardians; Four Gods; Four Auspicious Beasts.
And also more about Royal Harems or the Imperial Chinese Harem, where the ranks of imperial consorts have varied over the course of Chinese history but remained important throughout owing to its importance in management of the inner court and in imperial succession, which ranked heirs according to the prominence of their mothers in addition to their strict birth order.
Author's note:
Please note that this is a fantasy and does not accurately portray Ancient China.
Being a bit shameless here, but please check out my other book called "The wolf and her Black-bellied Owner" TAT
If any of you are up for a light and simple love story that revolves around the mafia world with handsome ML and werewolf FL, you might take a liking towards this one.
Nonetheless, Thank You for reading this! I will try to update whenever I can but I'm definitely not dropping this baby of mine!
