The drama tells the story of Fan Changyu, a butcher's daughter, and Xie Zheng, a fallen marquis, who are fated to meet in a snowstorm. She, orphaned, is determined to become the head of her own household; he, living under an assumed name, seeks revenge for a blood feud from 17 years ago. Each with their own agenda, they enter a marriage of convenience that slowly turns into true love. What begins as mutual exploitation blossoms into genuine affection, but that love soon brings bloody warfare, forcing the lovers apart. Wielding her butcher's knife, Fan Changyu marches onto the battlefield in search of her family, her husband, and justice. Xie Zheng reclaims his identity as the iron-blooded marquis, fighting to defend his country, his love, and the truth. Finally, they reunite on the battlefield, fighting side by side without fear of death; exposing the truth without bowing to power; and returning home without forgetting their original resolve.

A novel of time travel and self discovery. Natasha Delancourt, Editor-in-Chief of a publishing company, wakes up the morning after Halloween with a massive hangover, and a huge problem when a photo of her from the night before has gone viral. And it's not a good photo. Advised by her company PR to get out of London and turn off her phone, she takes the train to Cambridge. Determined to figure out how her life has gone so sideways, and how she can get it back on track, she makes an afternoon pilgrimage to Evensong service at King's College, an ancient chapel in the heart of Cambridge. Then things get weird. Feeling moved by the music and surroundings, she closes her eyes and then the world gets dark. She wakes up in the same place, but a very different time.... **This was my NaNoWriMo book from last year 2014, and I'm putting it up on Wattpad in order to get feedback as I continue through the editing process. I'm hoping I can self publish it in the next few months, though I'm going to spend this November working on a new idea that's been percolating in my head, and then come back to it with fresh eyes in December. Please leave comments or send me an email with your thoughts and feedback! Thank you!**
