Known among his kind for both his might and his mysterious allure, he enters the shop out of curiosity, a place frequented by celestial beings not only to procure blossoms but also to find peace amidst nature's exotic splendor. There, amid a cascade of colors and scents, he encounters a striking woman with skin as white and smooth as porcelain, accented by a delicate rose painted on her cheek. With a smile and an air of comfort, she introduces herself as Porce-though all who know her whisper the name Miss Porcelain. Her delicate beauty belies a strength akin to her namesake: resilient yet fragile, a masterpiece that must be handled with care. As their paths intertwine, Azure-often revered as the Azure Lion among the immortal soldiers-reveals a hint of his inner duality: a formidable lion with a fierce roar and a soul marked by gentle introspection. In the collision of porcelain grace and leonine ferocity, a singular tale unfolds-a narrative of strength, vulnerability, and the unexpected intersections of fate. A world where celestial battles are waged not only in the heavens but also in the quiet moments of shared solitude, and where even the most hardened warriors might find their hearts captivated by the delicate art of living. -Miss Porcelain and The Lion

Gilded Memories Book 2 [SHORT STORY] ☆Bloomers Award 2023-2024 Participant☆ ☆COMPLETE 2024☆ A man afraid to speak his heart. A woman who cannot express hers with words. An odd pair, perhaps-but the king has his own way of loving his beloved Lilibeth. The old-fashioned way. Letters. He pours his thoughts onto paper, inked with the weight of all he cannot say aloud. Page by page, his emotions take shape-tender, reverent, sincere. And Lilibeth, ever patient, reads each letter with a quiet smile. She keeps them close, tucking them into a jar beside her bed, where they rest among his other missives. There, she can revisit his love again and again-each word a soft echo of his soul. To others, this way of loving may seem outdated. Uninspired. A relic of a slower, forgotten time. But as the old saying goes, "Old is gold. " And gold endures. Just like a treasured heirloom passed through generations, or a fading photograph that still holds warmth-his letters are steeped in something timeless. They are his heart. Old, golden, and ever hers. My Dearest Lilibeth, You kept them, didn't you? I'm glad. I don't mind writing to you, my dear. In fact, I could write you a thousand times more-just to tell you how much you mean to me. You, a woman who blooms like springtime, gentle and wild. I still wonder how a reckless, war-stained soul like mine ever found his way to you-and how you loved me so kindly in return. A woman blooming so softly... Let me love you the vintage way: Letters for my words. Flowers for my heart. My dear Lilibeth, I hope to see you again. And if I do, I promise-I'll send you letters once agai- "Hey, Monkey King. Who are you writing to?" A boy in a red bandana flopped down beside his mentor, sipping from a juice box. Wukong looked at him, then smiled gently. "It's for my dear Lilibeth." - [Gilded Memories] My Dear Lilibeth [Sun Wukong]

Gilded Memories Book 3 [Short story] ☆COMPLETE 2024☆ ☆WATTPAD PROMOTE BOOK 2025☆ On mornings when he's not in the mood to ruin someone's day-or mess with that Monkey boy and the Dragon Girl-Red Son finds himself wandering the grand halls of the city museum. Within its marbled corridors, beneath towering ceilings and ancient echoes, he walks not as a prince of flame, but as a quiet observer. He listens to the tour guides recount tales of long-forgotten empires, their voices weaving through exhibits of relics and artifacts, each whispering stories older than memory. He ascends the sweeping staircase, passing portraits of ancient emperors and solemn statues frozen in time, until he reaches a peculiar door. A library-within a museum. Strange, perhaps. But to him, it's a welcome oddity. A place where silence breathes, and knowledge waits on every shelf. Here, the fire demon takes his quiet reprieve, a book in one hand, hot coffee in the other, as he flips to the first page and lets the world fall away. Lately, though, it's not just the books that draw him in. Since the day he saw her-the librarian with eyes like quiet storms-his visits have grown more frequent. Not just to read, but to steal glances, to exchange a few words, to be near. Fate, ever the mischievous puppeteer, seems intent on intertwining their paths. And Red Son, ever the willing fool in love, keeps returning-chasing those fleeting moments, those quiet chances-just to keep her within reach. BOOK 3 Take the Chance [RED SON] -Gilded Memories

Gilded Memories Book 5 [SHORT STORY] It's the middle of the night, and everyone is fast asleep. Shops are closed, and the streets are calm, with no loud honks from trucks or cars. Yet, in the quiet of that night, Mk met Milo-a small dog strangely standing in front of Pigsy's Noodle Shop entrance, tongue sticking out and panting as if he had been running around for hours. "Woah, it's like 2 a.m. Why are you standing here, bud?" the delivery boy asked, crouching down and tilting his head as he stared at the dog, who panted without a care in the world. The little guy seemed happy, too. Mk couldn't figure out how the small fry ended up in front of the shop's entrance, just standing there as if waiting for him to come out. It was a mystery.
