The Celestial Phoenix's Ascent

"Queens and concubines are merely pawns in a game of Court," the Crown Prince stared me down, chin high. I returned him a smile, though my cheeks were stiff and reluctant to accommodate my lips. "Then why would a mere woman like me be your only tool to turn the tide?" - As the daughter of General Yan of the great country of Yin Shang, Yan Qing's duty lies with the royal Pan clan, whose sole orders hold her and her family's lives. When Yan Qing turned 19, the Crown Prince of Yin Shang decreed for her to enter the Palace. There, she received her mission: Go undercover as a Palace servant in their nemesis' territory, Jin Tang. Alone and afraid, she must brave through a precarious task. Only by succeeding in seducing the future King of Jin Tang of the royal Li clan would she survive her predicament. But things get messy in a hurry when she enters Shen Li Gong, Palace of the 18th Prince of Jin Tang. He was the downtrodden Prince, target of everyone's ridicule. But Yan Qing recognised the power that exuded from him. Would she be able to weave her way past the Prince's eagle eyes? The fate of her country, and more importantly, her family, lies in her hands. **Warning: Quite the slow burn** Book cover credits (background image): Jingyi Lyu https://unsplash.com/photos/lgCjARMlnjg

Vestiges of Glory

"Your subjects thank Madame," the two men chorused, kneeling before me.

I handed them their decrees as their Deputy Commander, congratulating them on their promotion.

In order to handle the situation in Ping He Prefecture, Zheng and I decided to promote two people to man the Gold Squad.

Since Yi Liang and Nian Qu didn't even entertain the idea of staying in Ping He, there would be no Commander or General left in-charge of the Gold Squad.

Yi Liang was the obvious choice, but he had kneeled before Zheng and pleaded to follow him when the Emperor's decree had been read out three days prior.

Thus, it was only right to find people we could trust to watch over our home after the year at Chang Jie was over.

"General He Lin Feng, Lieutenant Shen Yong Shi, Ping He Prefecture is now in your hands. There won't be another Commander taking over until we return. Work with the other four squadrons to keep the civilians safe."
