In the treacherous golden corridors of an imperial palace, fifteen-year-old Amani, a Black concubine from the Western Borderlands, arrived carrying the last thing her mother touched before she died resisting the men who came to take her. Gifted to Crown Prince Wei Zhenting as a diplomatic offering, she was cataloged before she was named and reduced to inventory before she was seen as a person. In a court where survival demanded not beauty but cunning, she learned quickly that everyone she grew to love was in danger precisely because she loved them. Wei Zhenting, seventeen and carved from ice and duty, prepared for his ascension to the Dragon Throne. At the same time, bound to Princess Liu Feiyan, his sixteen-year-old wife, whose elegance concealed both ruthless intelligence and blood already on her hands. As festivals glittered with false cheer and every smile concealed a dagger, Amani navigated treacherous alliances, deadly rivalries, and the slow, dangerous thaw of a prince who once, at her lowest moment, calculated her survival as a political question rather than a human one. The palace did not break Amani. It changed her. And by the time the Emperor died and the Dragon Throne was reborn, she did not entirely recognize the woman looking back at her from the mirror. Across this complete saga, forbidden desire collided with imperial duty, births reshaped destinies, and one foreign woman's quiet strength proved more powerful than the throne itself.

She had been found beneath a dying camphor tree, wrapped in ruined silk and holding a piece of jade no one could name. They had called her Bai. They should have called her a storm. The Vermilion Palace had glittered beneath crimson lanterns, where beauty had concealed danger and silence had carried more weight than words. Two sisters had entered its world beneath very different expectations-one radiant and adored, the other quiet, unreadable, and impossible to overlook. Bai had never belonged to the palace, yet something about her had unsettled the world around her. Beneath the gold lacquer and ceremonial silk, she had discovered that power was rarely given freely, loyalty was easily broken, and love could become indistinguishable from obsession. She had learned that betrayal did not always arrive with a blade. Sometimes it came through a whispered accusation, a closed door, averted eyes, or the slow realization that the people you trusted had already chosen against you. Beyond the palace walls, isolation had become its own kind of kingdom. There, beneath ash-colored skies and distant mountains, survival had demanded strength she had never known she possessed. Years had passed, but time had not erased what had been lost. It had only buried it deeper. This had been a story of quiet strength, wounded pride, forbidden longing, and the kind of love that survived long after trust had died. A story of a woman who had been cast aside and refused to disappear. A story of betrayal, motherhood, resilience, and reckoning. Because some hearts had not been broken by cruelty. They had been forged by it. ©️ _RelleLebby_ // R. L.

Smoke Moore didn't come home from the Great War clean. After surviving the trenches of France, he carved out a name in the dark corners of Chicago-running liquor, gambling with ghosts, and doing whatever it took to stay one step ahead of the law. He finished his business in Chicago, came back wealthier, and bought land to protect his black folks from white control. He thought he'd left feeling behind. Until the day she stepped off that train. Madison Davis. The white girl from across the fence. As children, he watched her from the cotton rows-her hair catching the sun as she ran barefoot through fields he could never touch. He was just a boy in the dirt. She was a dream behind barbed wire and skin. Now she's grown. Beautiful. Untouchable. And standing right in front of him. In a world still shackled by hate, Smoke is forced to reckon with what stirs in his chest. He doesn't know if it's love, madness, or something worse. All he knows is-if he reaches for her, it could cost them both everything. Smoke in the Cottonfield is a gritty, Southern noir about a war-scarred Black man caught between survival and longing in Jim Crow Mississippi. It's a story of forbidden love, buried pasts, and the kind of choices that haunt a man long after the smoke clears. | 1# SmokeMoore. | 1# StackMoore.

In a world where soulmates exist and people receive their soul bonds (a red string of fate, body exchange, timer tattoos...etc) when they turn 20... * Wet dreams are not the norm for Amber. She should not be haunted by men she doesn't know, let alone the seven male pop stars from the world-famous boyband, IDOL. In a few days, Amber will receive a soul bond on her birthday, a one-way ticket into the arms of her soulmate. And it's definitely not a good idea to continue yearning for a group of men when she should be paying attention to her destined mate. But on the day of her birthday, Amber switches bodies with the idol on stage and finds out that the members of the boyband are her soulmates. All seven of them.

She spoke in laughter, he spoke in silence, but somehow, they understood each other. ᴡᴇᴀᴋ ʜᴇʀᴏ ᴄʟᴀꜱꜱ ╱ ʏᴇᴏɴ ꜱɪᴇᴜɴ © rikurie, 2025
