Raised by wolves that prowl the Western desert, Jade learnt to become human again after saving a man dying of thirst. Originally a Southern Dynasty citizen, he brought her back to the Jie tribe where he taught her arts and literacy and became her Father. However, she was yet again forced to survive with her lupine family, after her Father's death during the Jie tribe's coup d'etat, to escape the hunters who sought to silence her. Initially content with living out her days in the desert, she fatefully meets the calm and soft-spoken Meng Moxun, whom everyone calls the Ninth Master, then the handsome yet cold General Wei Wuji. Following her Father's dying wishes for her to see his birth place, she adventures into Jianan City, the capital of Mainland and changes her name to "Luna". Upon meeting these two men again, her past will influence how she responds to her future. Both men become exceedingly important to her survival as she unwittingly becomes embroiled in a dangerous political struggle within the Southern Dynasty palace, where these people were also at war with the Jie Tribe. Her past was bound to catch up with her. She falls for one man, but was rejected. What was his reason and who will she choose in the end? Who will protect her from her past, present and future? Ultimately, what will be the fate of her and her protectors?... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ THIS STORY IS NOT MINE! BUT THIS WORK IS MINE! This is merely a translation of a drama called Sound of the Desert which is based on a Chinese Historical Romance novel written by Tong Hua called - Ballad of the Desert. I take no credit for the story! This story is merely my transformation of this beautiful drama and novel into literary English and I am utilising my creativity to share this captivating story. I will be posting links to the drama's episodes (English subtitled, don't worry) with each chapter.

***The wrong girl is sometimes The Right One.*** Charlotte Samuels thought she'd be stuck waiting tables at Marlow's until all her debts are paid off-in about ten thousand years or so. She definitely didn't expect a marriage proposal from the arrogant Brandon Maxfield who was blackmailed by his father to make her his wife if he didn't want his least favorite cousin to run Maxfield Industries. Charlotte's instinct was to say HELL NO! but she's stumped by a few obstacles: 1.) His old man Martin Maxfield is dear to her heart and has been recently deteriorating in health. 2.) She gets a million dollars if she stays married to Brandon for a year. 3.) She would rather like the opportunity to teach the attractive but awfully rude man a few lessons he didn't think he needed from a 'teenage gold-digger' which was his term of endearment for her on their first date-er, business meeting. So what's a girl got to do, right? Sure, she's young and a little rough around the edges but there's something her would-be husband didn't know about her yet-she's nothing like he ever expected. Thrust into the glitzy world a standard-issue Mrs. Maxfield would fit perfectly and rule with impeccable social grace, Charlotte will either have to force herself into the mold or break free of it, risking what little she has left for everything that she can gain. *** Copyright © 2014 by Nina Tippett.
