Remiya Siu is just trying to get through her senior year in one piece. Between writing articles for the school's newspaper, her part-time job at a local diner, and the piles of assignments she has to plow through for her AP classes, she barely has time to breathe. The pressure will be worth it, though. Because ultimately, it's going to help her get into Harvard--the college of her dreams. Except it doesn't. She's deferred, and she's crushed. By a stroke of pure luck, an opportunity arises when the annual Grand Achievement award is up for grabs for the first time ever, and she's one of two eligible students. This is what she needs to win so she can (finally) get off Harvard's waitlist once and for all. There's only one problem: competition comes in the form of Blaise Yang, her childhood nemesis, and he refuses to back down.

WATTY'S 2022 SHORTLIST🏅A Qing Dynasty Snow White fairytale retelling with a Princess Mononoke twist. Featured on @Wattpad's Fantasy Adventures reading list and @WattpadExplorer. ***** Snow is anything but the submissive princess the Jade Palace expects her to be. Her foster mothers find her impossible, her royal tutor labels her incorrigible, and she recently threatened to shave her head if she were forced to marry. When the Empress presents her with an opportunity to go on the imperial spring hunt with the princes and her not-so-secret crush, Prince Erden, Snow jumps at the chance. Who knew that that would lead to an assassination attempt, a harrowing escape, and her getting hopelessly lost in a dark forest during a thunderstorm--with no survival skills whatsoever. The only things she has to help her survive are lots of moxie and latent magical powers she inherited from her deceased mother. Oh, and an ethereally white fox that led seven old dwarves to her. With the Empress's malicious intent now revealed, Snow must discover her true strength, who her mother really is, and what magical powers she wields, in order to find her way back to Erden. If she fails, she might never see him again and die a lonely old crone in the mountains. . . or get murdered anyway when the bloodthirsty Empress--said to have fantastical powers of her own--comes for Snow.

IN THE MIDDLE OF A WAR, THE LAST THING THEY NEED IS SOMEONE SPREADING THE ENEMY AGENDA. When Lady Kuroki's esteemed students are dispatched to a house party in a faraway manor to root out a potential Meliquean spy, Lady Asteria Lu isn't sure what to expect. The guests are powerful and eccentric, but none of them seem traitorous. Besides, her friends are distracted: Danna by a fate she could no longer run from, Io by the only boy who'd ever seen through her cover. So a mess, really. Then comes a soldier who clearly knew more than he was pretending to, constantly getting in her way. Coincidence, or is he the very agent she's searching for? Maximilian Harlande's life was a good deal simpler before he became a spy. Certainly, back then, he wouldn't be caught dead running around a house party with a Novokulugan agent attached to his hip. But he has a mission to complete, and the cunning Lady Asteria Lu refuses to let him do his job in peace. Fine. So be it. May the best spy win. (Book One of the Lady Kuroki's School for Girls trilogy) Formerly a Wattpad Original novel
