The Duke's Marchen
"What do you see when you see me?" he asked as he wrapped his arms around her. For a few seconds, she bathed in his warmth. "Do you want me to be honest?" He nodded. "I see a man who changed my world. He chuckled at that. "Not honest enough." She lifted her head. Her beautiful gray eyes stared at his brown ones. "I see the Villain." She gulped and added, "I see someone that would burn the world... just to keep me safe." "Again..." he smiled. "Again?" "I wouldn't hesitate to burn the world again just to keep you safe." .... She loved him like a brother. He loved her more than he loved his life. In his dying breath, the woman that he loved finally cried... for him. At last, he thought before closing his eyes. She was finally looking at him. How ironic. .... "I lost you once. I can't lose you again. " - Duke Li Qiang This is the Story of Li Qiang and his redemption. ....

Stupid Bandits!
Wang Rouyun's throat ached, her lips were dry.
She felt dizzy. It was as if she had been spinning too much. She squinted at the only candle inside the large room. The candle was about to die and that means… it's going to be dark inside this room.
She looked around, hoping to find the man who brought her here.
He was gone.
The man said this was the leader's room but she had been here for hours, perhaps even days and the leader didn't show up.
She was almost certain that the man lied to her.
But why?
Without food and water, Wang Rouyun was confident that she would survive this hell hole for days. However… she was wounded.
She wriggled her wrist trying to loosen the large rope that was tied around her body. Yes. Those people didn't just use a large rope to tie her wrist and legs, they used another type of rope and tied it around her chest, her stomach, and her hips. Even her knees were tied up.
