As We Fall, We Choose is a fate‑tinted, slow‑burn KMBW romance set in Seoul from winter into spring. Rocky Hayes came to Seoul to build bridges-cultural consultant by day, keeper of small rituals by night. After a breakup, her world shrinks to work, warm mugs, and a tulip in a jelly jar named Not Yet. Choi Min‑Hyuk (Liam) has perfected corporate polish at Hanul-glass offices, lilies on tables, a future mapped by other people's expectations. He hums while he cooks, removes his earrings at work, and keeps a single hotel napkin in a drawer like contraband. One yellow umbrella. One quiet bar in Gyeongnidan. A song that glitches and starts over. They don't exchange numbers. They promise to forget. Fate disagrees. Between metro chimes and elevator reflections, fishcake broth steam and ramen with cheese at 2 a.m., Rocky and Min‑Hyuk learn the delicate math of choosing each other-through corporate politics, found‑family chaos, and a pregnancy that redraws every map. ©️ _RelleLebby_//R.L.

She was never supposed to be chosen. When the King of China visited the Jiang household to witness the legendary artistry of Governor Jiang's daughters, everyone knew which sister would catch the Crown Prince's eye. Mei Ling was perfect-the biological daughter, the beauty, the one society expected a future emperor to choose. She was Daddy's favorite, indulged and adored, everything the imperial court valued. But Bai Ling was different. Adopted after washing ashore as an infant, her bronze skin marked her as foreign, her quiet strength as dangerous. She wielded her mother's artistic genius and harbored a secret gift that whispered through the earth itself-magic that made stones sing and soil bloom. When the Crown Prince chose Bai Ling over her "perfect" sister, he set in motion a love story that would defy convention, survive palace intrigue, and reshape an empire. From storm-wrecked infant to beloved empress, from outsider to the most powerful woman in China, Bai Ling's journey proves that sometimes the heart knows what society cannot see-and that being The Emperor's Favorite is earned not through perfection, but through authenticity, courage, and a love that transcends all boundaries. ©️ _RelleLebby_ // R.

As boxes get unpacked and old scars resurface, the line between chaos and home blurs in ways neither of them planned. ©️ _RelleLebby_// R. L.
