Wang Min was just a normal village girl when she was brutally taken away from all she'd ever known and brought to the palace. There, she enjoyed jewellery and the Emperor's adoration...but she also faced jealous, scheming concubines. When a girl named Wu Ze Tian entered the palace, Wang Min knew she was different. She was a girl who would stop at nothing to get what she wanted, and what Wu Ze Tian wanted was the throne. A story of Wu Ze Tian's rise to power, told in the perspective of Wang Min, her best friend and fellow concubine. ***NOTE*** This is a new version of my earlier story Empress. It has a better plot and better grammar. The ending may also be different. NOT HISTORICALLY ACCURATE.

"Let us meet again in hell." Before she became the infamous seductress. Before he was the most hated tyrant. Before it all fell apart... Born a curse, she was cast away from the royal family. But when the kingdom needed an alliance, she was the one called upon to marry. As the second son, he had no right to become heir. Yet in the face of war and politics, he was always the first commanded to fight for the country. "Whoever is wedded to the princess is destined to become emperor." Somehow, fate brought them together, and the course of the empire thus changed forever. She became known as the most shameful seductress, purposefully tempting six emperors in a wild bid to maintain her lavish lifestyle. She once dreamt of becoming the century's best medic; yet after a lifetime in the palace, she couldn't save her own children from slaughter. He turned into the worst tyrant in Chinese history, knowingly sending millions to their graves in a blind attempt to pursue his frivolous dreams. He initially wanted to live a simple life; but under the pressure of power, he instead found himself using all those he loved as mere pawns. She thought she was fighting against destiny, but it turned out to be the ones she most trusted. He believed he was the one pulling on the strings, but in reality, he was unknowingly playing his own part in the script. They were unwilling puppets, each trying to break free from the invisible strings of fate. Only when the stage finally fell, it was to chaos. At the end of it all, she no longer knew if her tears were for him or the irony of it all. ----- Cover: Manipulated by Photoshop but all photo credits to their original artists on Pinterest

Being a second wife is rather like learning to perfect a set of aerial maneuvers. There are seriously complicated stunts involved: trapezing around the first wife, learning when to appear and disappear at exactly the right moments, tolerating your mother in law, enduring the concubines, and getting the husband in your bed. No one expects to be a second wife. No one does.

On the second jump, Claire's bad leg gave way and she felt herself tumbling forward. A cry of surprise escaped her and Claire was certain she was about to topple off the side of the train. Alek, however, moved quickly, catching her mid-fall and keeping her upright, and alive. Claire lifted her eyes to meet his which were wide with alarm. The expression was fleeting, lasting for only a moment before it was replaced by a frown. "You could have fallen," he said pointedly. "I know," Claire breathed, finding her thoughts drifting to the strong arm wrapped around her waist. A flush rose to her cheeks and she was grateful for the biting wind that masked her reaction. "Thank you." "You need to be more careful," he continued, his eyes locked on hers, bright and haunting in the silver glow of the moon overhead. "I will," Claire assured him, her heart skipping in her chest. "I promise." ------ 1st Place in the Chaos Awards 2nd Place in the Mystic Awards 2nd Place in the Stella Luna Awards 2nd Place in the Talent Awards 2018 Highest Ranking #1 In Steampunk Found on the official Wattpad Fantasy account featured reading list "Wintery Worlds"
