Xiao Le died after her cousin found out that she will be marrying the crown prince. When she woke up, she was shocked to see that everything around her was different. Xiao Le later found out that she got transmigrated into the modern world - she was happy to be given another chance to live with a family that 'seems' to love her and just live a new life. However, how will a sheltered and naive 'ancient soul' cope up with the pressure of the modern world? Will she survive the schemes of her new family and the conniving plots of those people who are envious of her? And who is this supposedly cold-blooded and ruthless billionaire who seems to cling to her? P.S. This is my first novel and I accept constructive criticisms :) please take note of the word 'constructive' P.P.S. I don't know the Chinese culture - everything on here is just a product of my imagination and this is the result after reading countless transmigration stories :) P.P.P.S. Like what the title says, this is a cliché story, so if you don't like clichés, then this book is not for you. Hope you guys enjoy!

Bloodshed...Birthright...Betrayal. Can he ever discover the truth? "The first and only time that I dared to call Igarashi Sakura 'Mother', she placed a hand across my mouth and pulled me close. For a long moment, she was silent, no part of her moving except for her chest and the tears that fell from her eyes. Finally, she leaned close to my ear, whispering, 'Swallow those words, Kazuhiko, for your mother is not me. She died years ago, and the moment someone hears you call me that, all of our lives shall be forfeit.'" The young Lord Amachi Kazuhiko never questioned why his father's once-loyal general and his wife raised him. He never questioned why the last of his father's advisers was given control of the clan until he came of age and not one of his dead mother's brothers. That is until he returns from battle to find his not-mother Sakura has been captured...on the battlefield. Setting off on a journey to help Ryuu rescue his wife awakens questions that Kazuhiko never knew existed, and he begins to seek answers. Where did he truly come from? Why did the general betray his father? How did Sakura come to be on the battlefield? And what was with the girl that looked eerily similar to him? The truth may set him free, but it may also kill him in the meantime. Book Two of the Kakureta Hana series All Right Reserved

Struggling to hide her secret to preserve her family's name along with the clan she leads becomes harder with each passing year.

SAMPLE OF PUBLISHED BOOK THAT WAS FIRST WRITTEN ON WATTPAD. Fletcher was nothing more than a humble blacksmith's apprentice, when a chance encounter leads to the discovery that he has the ability to summon demons from another world. Chased from his village for a crime he did not commit, he must travel with his demon to the Vocans Academy, where the gifted are trained in the art of summoning. The academy will put Fletcher through a gauntlet of gruelling lessons, training him as a battlemage to fight in the Hominum Empire's war against the savage orcs. Rubbing shoulders with the children of the most powerful nobles in the land, Fletcher must tread carefully. The power hungry Forsyth twins lurk in the shadows, plotting to further their family's interests. Then there is Sylva, an elf who will do anything she can to forge an alliance between her people and Hominum, even if it means betraying her friends. Othello is the first ever dwarf at the academy, and his people have long been oppressed by Hominum's rulers, which provokes tension amongst those he studies alongside. Fletcher will find himself caught in the middle of powerful forces, with nothing but his demon Ignatius to help him. As the pieces on the board manoeuvre for supremacy, Fletcher must decide where his loyalties lie. The fate of an empire is in his hands ...

*Completed* "I'm no Sea Heiress," I exclaimed. "I'm just one of Triton's warriors. I was sent here to salvage my overthrown kingdom, not become queen of this one." Soren's eyes trailed over me for a thoughtful second, before he suggested, "What if you were sent to do both?" Eighteen-year-old Ailith is a warrior of the overthrown Sea Kingdom, trained by Triton himself and sent to Land to seek help in order to reclaim the Sea Kingdom. However, when she arrives on Land and meets the two sons of Zeus, she learns that her presence is all part of a thousand-years old prophecy that claims she and Zeus's handsome son, Soren, King of the Land, are destined to fall in love. Ailith is careful as she stays at King Soren's court, trying to gather her resources to reclaim her overthrown kingdom. However, at the same time, she is trying to deal with her growing feelings for Soren, and the fact that she could--possibly--be Triton's Heiress: the Heiress of the Sea.
