"Cherry blossom, the significance of it in Japanese culture goes back hundreds of years. In the country of rising sun, cherry blossom represents the fragility and the beauty of life. It's a reminder that life is almost overwhelmingly beautiful but that it is also tragically short. A bittersweet, ephemeral nature of life." L/N Y/N, a young college student who recently moved to Kyoto to start her new career as a fashion designer, to live her dream. On a fateful day, she met a mysterious young man in glasses and was brought 500 years back in the past, in the Sengoku era, the "Age of Warring States". She was new to its customs and its rules. But in order to survive, she is forced to learn it fast. Twists and turns make its way to her, challenging her in every steps she takes as she encounters with many preeminent and famous historical figures. With her strong personality of a modernized woman, she challenges the belief that was placed on women as "weaklings" and "vulnerables". But little did she knows, the warring age is not as scary as what fate has in stored for her with a man. ------------- "What's more deadly than a sword? A bow and arrow? A rifle? No. The most dangerous weapon is the one that kills and corrupt you before you can see it. It constitutes happiness, sadness, and pain. Love, it's the most deadly weapon in all eras." Y/N said as a drop of tear falls down from the corner of her eye. "Thank you... Nobunaga." She closes her eyes, knowing this time she will never see him again as she takes her last breath.

Zaria was a princess-not by blood but by capture. She was abducted in her teens from the western Slavic tribes and kept as a virgin by the powerful warring king, Sharvur. Cruel and strategically gifted, his Scythian armies controlled all the territories in the shadows of the Atai Mountains to the east, some twenty-six hundred years before our time. Told by the oldest shaman in his land, that as long as Zaria remained pure of body and did not succumb to the lust which permeated Sharvur's court, his kingdom would remain invincible. But like the fanciful tattoos which the Slavic girl added each year to her supple body, her curiosity and desires increased, threatening to bring down the Pazyryk tribe. In "Book Two," following Sharvur's incarceration by two competing generals, Zaria, along with her lover Tsudros the tattoo artist, perform a bold escape. In the company of her fellow slave Branka, and her teacher-lover Moshtok, they attempt to return to the girls' homeland in the West. Many adventures await and confront them on this daring trek across the Eurasian plains. But how will they be accepted back in the Slavic tribe with their new foreign lovers? Will they ever return to the land of the Scythian nomads? In 1993 a team of Russian archaeologists discovered a rich burial tomb on the bleak steppes bordering Russia, Mongolia and Kazakhstan. Frozen and remarkably preserved in the permafrost, they uncovered the mysterious body of a woman they would call the "Siberian Princess." Her body was yet that of a young female, but she had the most compelling tattoos ever discovered from ancient history. This is her story. How she loved and how she died. [Find both "The Tattooed Princess" and The Tattooed Princess: Book Two--Escape to the West" newly formatted as e-books, available on Amazon's Kindle Books here: https://www.amazon.com/author/califia.montalvo

A 21st century covert ops agent, Cybelline found herself transported to a medieval world of magic and war without a clue of how she got there. Fine, she'll consider this as early, early retirement and try to have a quiet, peaceful life. Maybe she would buy a farm and raise some ducks. She didn't plan to have royalty fall over her doorstep and demand marriage for "taking his innocence". Granted, she tripped him first, but he deserved it. If her idyllic life had been undisturbed, she could even ignore the war between humans, the Fae, and the Folk. If they had left her alone, perhaps she would have never discovered power so potent that it could destroy the world. Perhaps she would have never become the most feared person in the realm.

[This web-novel will be re-published on Dreame starting from 22 February 2019 so Chapter 4 and onwards will only be available on Dreame]. First and foremost, she is an independent woman from the 21st century whom is known as a savvy yet ruthless businesswoman and one of the richest individuals in the world. Why on earth she suddenly transmigrated to God knows where she is? The only thing that she is thankful is that she has transmigrated into a body that 1/2 her age and a ravishing beauty too. The only downside is that the original owner of the body is one stupid girl. Too stupid that it nearly made her have a heart attack when she learned all about the original owner's mishaps and misfortunes caused by her very own silliness that the world is a beautiful place to live in. And for her to keep on waiting year by year for her fiancé to marry her is the ultimate stupidity of all time because that man decided to marry someone else as his crown princess and their engagement is nothing much than an empty promise. As the original body owner has been reborn, she too transmigrated into the same body. Due to the meek nature of the original owner, she had taken over the body without a hitch. This (old) woman (and, a little help from the original owner of the body) will make sure that the road of success will be paved by her own two hands in this ancient world where the sky is only the limit.
