The Crown Prince died sixteen years ago. The kingdom never learned the truth. To prevent a civil war that would tear YongHai apart, the late Queen buried the greatest secret in the kingdom. Her surviving child ascended the Phoenix Throne beneath another's name, carrying a lie that has protected the kingdom ever since. Now King Yi Hyun rules with an unshakable hand, feared by enemies, admired by the people, and trusts only two souls: Lady Choi, the woman who raised the young monarch, and Kang Jun Ho, the commander sworn to guard both the King... and the truth. In a palace where every smile conceals ambition and every oath may hide betrayal, one secret has the power to bring down an empire. Some crowns are inherited. This one was built on lies.

1726: A Smile Across Time When young structural engineer John Villaroman is chosen to restore the legendary Casa Dela Vega in Laguna, he expects to uncover the mysteries of a centuries-old mansion-not the forgotten truth of his own past. Inside the abandoned mansion, a forgotten portrait and a single breath of ancient dust awaken something impossible. In an instant, John finds himself in 1726, living in the body of Miguelito, the brilliant master builder who first designed the estate. Trapped three hundred years in the past, he must navigate a dangerous world of Spanish colonial power, forbidden love, and deadly betrayal. As John Villaroman falls for the compassionate and intelligent Margareta Dela Vega, he discovers that history has already written a tragic ending for them both. Powerful enemies will stop at nothing to erase Miguelito from history, forcing John to choose between changing the past or preserving the future he came from. Across centuries, a portrait waits, a river remembers, and a bloodline refuses to be forgotten. Blending historical fiction, romance, mystery, and time-travel adventure, 1726: A Smile Across Time is a sweeping tale of sacrifice, destiny, and the enduring power of love. Some buildings are built to withstand time. Some promises are made to outlive it.

Mihrunnissa is a lover of history, though she works as a psychiatrist by profession. Regardless, she loves exploring historical sites and reading historical books. She had recently read the biography of Emperor Hamza, a ruler still celebrated for his immense contributions to India's growth and expansion into the nation it is today. His biography remains a bestseller and is required reading across academic institutions at every level. While immersed in the book, she found herself wondering why a man like Hamza had never allowed his love life to be included in the historical record. One day, she was listening to her patient Mahnoor, who had booked a session to help process the trauma weighing on her. At first, Mahnoor was reluctant to speak, but after Mihrunnissa gently insisted that she needed the full story in order to help, Mahnoor finally opened up. "I time-traveled," she revealed. She then recounted everything; how she had read Hamza's biography, decided she could be of help, traveled back to his era, the challenges she faced there, and how she eventually returned. Now the experience was haunting her because she felt overwhelming guilt for failing to help Noor. Mihrunnissa offered the coping strategies and therapeutic techniques she believed would help Mahnoor heal. After closing her clinic for the day, she locked the doors in her office, raised her hand, and murmured, "Noor, I beg you to send me too. I promise I will help your soul and set you free." She also yearned for a first-hand experience of that era. Unlike Mahnoor, she was confident she could handle it. As a trained psychiatrist, she knew how to manage her emotions. She believed she could become the kind of woman whose name would be written into history. But will she manage to summon Noor?
