Location: Ancient China Date: T'ang Dynasty During the most flourishing era in Ancient China, all seemed to be well for the people. The kingdom was governed by a wise Emperor, the enemies were kept far from the borders, trade increased, as did the arts and other things... One may just wonder how everything seemed to go wrong for Zhao Jiayi and her cousin Tai Huazhi. Jiayi is the middle daughter of seven to a wealthy merchant of China.

That wish is fulfilled with the arrival of the Emperor's nephew, Li Xiao. Yet when things do not go as she planned, she finds herself thrown into the world of the Royal and Imperial family, fighting not to drown in the midst of all the secrets, lies, and deceit. Huazhi is an outcast, and she chooses to stay that way. After being orphaned at a young age and taken in by her uncle, she becomes accustomed to not being wanted....that is, Until another outcast is thrown into her world. Now she must fight to stay alive no matter what the consequences, even at the risk of losing the ones she truly cares for. Both Jiayi and Huazhi become part of a war greater than themselves; a war of survival, loyalty, love, and family. Yet even a pebble thrown in the water can make a great ripple of impact.

She was born to be an empress. Beauty like immortal, talented in many aspects and a great politician. She married to the crown prince at the age of 11. Engendered two heirs for the kingdom. She really lives a perfect life. Shining crown and beautifully embroidered gown. Tingling hairpins on her head doesn't make her happy. Is it too greedy to ask for more? Is it insolent to say that she's unpleased with her life? Because the emperor never looked at her. Because he doesn't favor her, her days are full of sorrow. All she ever wanted is him.

The sea is vast, endless, and full of freedom-or so Y/N believed. Dragged into the world of pirates with her brother Tsubaki, she expected danger, betrayal, and adventure. What she did not expect was obsession. From the moment the Straw Hat crew rescued her, Y/N became the center of a storm no compass could guide her away from. Some pirates offered warmth, others protection, and some promised power-but all of them shared one thing in common: they would never let her go. Romantic devotion twists into obsession, loyalty burns into possession, and even the strongest pirates in the world-Whitebeard, Shanks, Mihawk, Katakuri, and more-find themselves tangled in her fate. To them, Y/N is more than a companion. She is treasure, irreplaceable, something to claim, guard, and if need be... destroy the world for. But freedom comes at a price. And on the Grand Line, love is far more dangerous than any Devil Fruit. One girl. One sea. Countless obsessions. Her story will either sink beneath the waves-or drown the world with her.

𝑺𝒉𝒆 𝒎𝒂𝒚 𝒉𝒂𝒗𝒆 𝒇𝒐𝒓𝒈𝒐𝒕𝒕𝒆𝒏- 𝑩𝒖𝒕 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒔𝒉𝒂𝒅𝒐𝒘𝒔 𝒏𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒓 𝒅𝒊𝒅. Known only as "The Ajin" Delacroix D. Y/N drifts through the Grand Line as a rumor, a curse-an immortal remnant of an era the world has forgotten. Including her. The World Government has removed every trace of her existence. They don't want her captured. They want her erased. Bound to a body that revives after death, hunted for powers she never asked for, she sails without destination-caught between silence and longing, seeking peace, chasing purpose, unsure if she's running from the world or toward a dream she hasn't dared to name. And when she crosses paths with the Straw Hat Pirates-loud, reckless, kind, and impossibly persistent dreamers and believers who chase freedom like it's worth dying for-she begins to wonder: 𝙲𝚊𝚗 𝚎𝚟𝚎𝚗 𝚊 𝚛𝚎𝚟𝚎𝚗𝚊𝚗𝚝 𝚕𝚎𝚊𝚛𝚗 𝚑𝚘𝚠 𝚝𝚘 𝚕𝚒𝚟𝚎 𝚊𝚐𝚊𝚒𝚗?

To the country she was born to, she is Princess Le-Anne, the king's illegitimate daughter hidden in the shadows. To the empire she is sold to, she is Lady Wei Li Lian, a traitorous spy sent to infiltrate an enemy throne. But who is she really? Gifted with rare beauty and keen intelligence, Li Lian once desired nothing more than a peaceful, ordinary life. She dreamed of traveling distant lands and living freely, far away from politics and power. That fragile dream shattered the moment her estranged royal father finally noticed her existence. To him, she was not a daughter, but a tool. She was given one mission. Enter the enemy empire of Nevoria. Seduce its emperor. Survive the harem. Become empress. And hand the empire to her homeland. From a young age, she trained relentlessly in etiquette, strategy, and deception. She learned how to smile while scheming, how to walk through danger without leaving a trace. She would maneuver through the Nevorian court, evade the vipers of the inner palace, send secret missives in the dead of night, and climb her way to the phoenix throne. It should have been simple. So why did no one warn her? The greatest threat was never the harem, but the emperor himself. Cold, inscrutable, and merciless, he ruled with an iron fist and revealed nothing of his thoughts. Every encounter between them felt like a silent confrontation, where one misstep could lead to quiet destruction. Those eyes of his held no warmth, only sharp calculation, as if he had already seen through every lie she told herself. _____________________________ Cover By Ei_Daisuki
