Prisoner of the Throne

"Our empire was built on blood and steel, not... weakness." "Then tell me, Tian—is your heart made of blood or steel? Or perhaps... "you do not have one." *** As the daughter of a humble deputy general, Yang Zi Hua never imagined life beyond her borderland hometown, much less one in the imperial palace. But when the emperor chooses her as consort, her ideal peaceful life turns into one of endless schemes. Thrust into a rear palace of jealous rivals and faithless servants, Zi Hua sheds her innocence and learns to wield favour like a sword. Amidst battles fought with words and smiles, her only ally is her first love—the emperor himself, who swore his heart to her in the past. But can a monarch's word be trusted? With each vicious conspiracy unravelled and two-faced enemy confronted, doubt awakens in Zi Hua: can she rise like a phoenix without betraying her values? And who is her lover, really? The doting persona he lets her see, or a cold, heartless royal? *** Meanwhile, Li Zhen Tian faces choices of his own. Between colluding ministers, the domineering empress dowager, and threats of illegitimacy, sacrifices must be made to preserve his legacy. Order, lover, or crown. Zi Hua ignited emotions he should never have felt—will it be enough to sway his power? Love and war arise; tears and kingdoms fall. Does the ruler wear the crown, or are they a prisoner of the throne? *** Notes: Cover art from Pinterest Palace drama > political intrigue > warfare

A Song for Silver Snow

UNDERGOING REWRITE AS OF 2024!!! *** This story begins with the average good versus evil, but there was no happily ever after. It came at a cost nobody was prepared for. The evil lived on, contained in its prison but patiently awaiting the day it would rise again... *** "I don't belong here. I don't belong in this world, in this time, in this body." The last thing Yin Xue remembered was rushing into a fire to save a girl just like her—shunned and feared by others because of the power they were born with. The flames trapped them in, and then there was darkness. When she awoke, Yin Xue saw the world through a new pair of eyes. Literally. Adopted and raised in The White Forest by one of the Devil Lords who had escaped death, Yin Xue thought her life would be peaceful. Until her master was murdered and she had to step outside her home and fulfill a poor soul's wish. Yin Xue set out for revenge, hatred in her heart and her master's words echoing in her mind. She plotted and schemed and lied and stole. She would never deny the blood stained on her hands because sacrifices had to be made. People were cruel and cold, so she had to be even more so. The world was her chessboard; she just didn't expect so many players. But the web of destiny was so intricate that nobody could escape it. A prince living a lie since birth. An assassin with a hidden identity. One of them would break Yin Xue; the other would break the world. The question is, who was which? Meanwhile, up in Heavenly Realm, an emperor dances with the dangerous truth and a god weaves the past, present and future together. They don't know the consequences of their actions. Add in a name list written in blood, a poem hiding a story, and an eternal curse or two and here is one hell of a story. The Black Dragon will be freed, secrets will resurface, and an old prophecy will be revealed. Yin Xue was taught to use pretence as a shield against a world full of deceit, and she had been pretending for her whole life, even to herself. But if she takes off that mask, who is she truly underneath? When the snow falls and the blood flower blooms, we shall see who survives the brutal winter. *** This is my first novel.
