Prince Sage, the man next in line to be king, offers to nurture a dying house plant back to life. He soon realises that the plant has a mind of its own, and perhaps a body too. Sage Green knows only rules. He doesn't break them, he doesn't do anything to look out of place. He sets a strong example and lives to make his parents proud. Though Sage is very out of touch with his passions. He lives to please, he lives to do his duty. Sage doesn't like to inspire, or to search for inner peace, or to truly appreciate the land beyond his Palace walls. That is, until his new Valet brings chaos to his comfortable world.

He was respected, revered. Feared. The King of the North. And we were the idiots sneaking into his territory. *Not your typical werewolf book* --please reframe from hateful comments directed at me or other readers who enjoy the story. *This book has no sexually mature scenes and is PG-13* *This book has nothing to do with The Game of Thrones, and is not a fanfic of any kind*

🌼 Wattpad Featured Story 🌼 Highest rank: #423 in Short Story (28 September 2017) Jaejoon wanted to die. As a musical protégé, he had quickly risen to stardom only to realize that fame came at a price. Having fallen far from his pedestal and having lost the ability to make music, he decided that death was his only recourse. And so, one summer night, when a typhoon wreaked havoc outside his remote cottage in idyllic Jeju Island, he invited death to come knocking. When death arrived at his door, it brought an unexpected companion. With death came an angel who played beautiful music that stirred his soul. The only problem was, she only spoke English, a language he barely understood. Was this another one of fate's cruel tricks or was it a second chance at redemption? --- A/N: This story was originally written for the #OneMillionProject anthology. It's a project involving a global network of creatives working to fund Cancer Research UK and EMMAUS (Homelessness organization). Thank you to Erikson (@LeQueen-) for helping me with the cover.

Jihoon hasn't slept well in years. Not since he survived the accident that killed the woman he loved. Yingyue never leaves her house. Not since her parents died in a car crash two years ago. Both crippled by their own fears, the two of them should never work out. After all, two wrongs don't make a right. Yet somehow, perhaps each recognizing they are kindred spirits bound by the things that haunt them, they are drawn to each other like the moon pulls the ocean tide. Can their blossoming romance help them break through the confines of their fears or will it pull them further down under like a leaf trapped under the surface of a frozen lake? --- Update schedule: Once a month.
