Synopsis

This is a story that took place in ancient Egypt-464BC. In a time of slavery due to the falling away in Israel, many are left homeless and are forced to seek refuge...in Egypt. The Crown Prince originally shrouded in mystery, seemed like an enigmatic yet unpredictable person when Aria first met him and Aria felt an unusual pull to him going to places she shouldn't, meeting with a certain someone she shouldn't... Aria wasn't the strongest in her beliefs as a Jew. But what happens when what started as an innocent draw spiral into something dark, possessive and downright unholy? What happens when innocent fascination turns into fear and a cry for escape? An escape that came in the form of Ahmes. But little did Aria know that she wasn't quite done yet, her faith was revived and her doubts cleared but what happens when she's told to go back, back to the monster in human form who sees himself as god, and help him see... See what? That even God could love a monster, that his love, showed forth even then, extends to all people and that no one, including him, was beyond saving.

The Princess and Her Rough-Rider Khan

Petite Princess VS Rough Khan On their wedding day, Yelu Yan told Li Xianyun that apart from affection, he could provide her with endless wealth and honor. After the marriage, he indeed kept his promise, cherishing her in the palm of his hand. Little did he know, the more he cherished her, the deeper she burrowed into his heart, right to the very top. Not long after the political marriage with the Khitans, Li Xianyun gradually noticed earth-shattering changes around her: Initially, the commoners who disliked her began to worship her as a deity... The court officials accusing her of bewitching their lord were now pleading with her to consummate the marriage with the Khan... The most perplexing of all was her husband in name; wasn’t he the one who said he wouldn't give her emotional affection? Why was he always following her around? Little theater scene 1: One day, Yelu Yan cornered Li Xianyun against the wall. “Why are you avoiding this Khan?” “They say you might have taken a liking to your servant.” “Remove ‘might’, isn’t it obvious enough from how this Khan acts?” “But you said you wouldn’t give your servant emotional affection.” Yelu Yan held his forehead; he had indeed said too many foolish things. “The Han people always say that one should start a family and then establish a career; clearly, the two are not in conflict.” Little theater scene 2: The sun had risen high, yet Yelu Yan was still clinging to Li Xianyun. “Get up quickly, I have to leave. There are patients on the street waiting for my consultation, the good fields to the west need irrigation, the homestead plots in the east need measuring, and I have to oversee the silk reeling and dyeing... Uh...” “Your husband is a patient, don’t you care for him?” Li Xianyun looked at the man tough enough to rival ten bulls and was utterly speechless.
