In the fractured province of Ravaryn, where old magic lingers in whispers and thrones are kept warm by cold hands, Princess Seren is sent to marry the Stormblade himself-Prince Rhevan of House Lysandros. It is a union forged not of love, but of strategy, between houses that barely trust each other more than the darkness creeping at the edges of the realm. Seren is sunshine gilded in sorrow-a girl who smiles to keep from breaking, who plays the role expected of her while hiding a heart full of forgotten dreams. Rhevan is winter forged into steel-silent, brooding, and bound by duty to a title that has stolen all softness from his soul. But when their fates are tied by vow and crown, something older than hatred begins to stir. A memory. A flower. A promise once made-and nearly lost to time. As the kingdoms stone walls close around her, Seren begins to feel echoes of a moment she cannot place, and Rhevan starts to question the war he's waged against his own heart. Their story is one of thorn and bloom, of softness blooming through frost, of eyes that meet across lifetimes and hands that still remember the shape of love. This is not a tale of magic. It is a tale of fate. A tale of star crossed lovers-who meet again. And the slow, aching kind of love that hurts... before it heals. Ages: Rhevan: 21 at the start of the story. Seren: 19 at the start of the story. WARNINGS: CONTAINS GORE, VIOLENCE, EXPLICIT WORDS, EXTREMELY VAGUE DESCRIPTIONS OF SEXUAL ACTIVITY (still have to write it as a warning even though I don't write sexual content but it fades to black and loosely describes that they did it.) STORY IS NOT YET EDITED SO THERE MAY BE MISTAKES Best rankings: 3 - olden days 1 - fantasy ish 39 - epic fantasy

This is fanfiction inspired by the current c-drama, 'Lost You Forever.' It's the same story, but still not the same. It is a shot at "what could have been" and a try to fill the void of Xiang Liu's tragic ending in the series. It's an attempt to bring comfort to those who were left heartbroken at the end of the drama. This story contains spoilers, but also a lot of detail has been changed that doesn't match the original story. As said, it is fanfiction and uses references from the original. If you give this story a chance, you won't regret it. You don't need to watch the drama. This story is complete in itself. I haven't read the original novel written by Tong Hua and do not have cultural knowledge, so there might be some things that are not right or I couldn't find during research. But as it is a fantasy story, I let my imagination be. I hope you enjoy reading it and ignore its faults :)

For the past three years, Amelia has been doing everything she can to survive - burying her grief, outrunning her past, and hiding a truth she barely understands. She may look human, but she isn't.

And this time, surviving won't be enough. The shadows are closing in. People she loves are disappearing. And no one is safe - not even Ezra, the boy she loved enough to let in. But when the monsters come, Amelia will have to decide how far she's willing to go to protect what little she has left. Because the creatures that took Kayla are coming for her next. And they don't just want to erase her. They want to claim her.

Gentle ripples passed over her, a watery caress that contrasted with her growing unease. Blinking slowly, Eliza tried to make sense of her situation. She found herself submerged, an unexpected aquatic world unfolding around her. Panic crept in as her ankles remained bound, immobilized as if by an unseen force. An attempt to move her arms yielded no results - they were ensnared in an unyielding grip. Seaweed, sinuous and trailing, wrapped itself around her legs with an almost possessive hold. Every movement was thwarted by the constricting tendrils, her struggles mirrored by the rippling sea plants. An urgency to breathe set in, her chest tightening in a desperate plea for air. But the very element that should sustain her had become a stifling barrier. A strand of slimy seaweed clung to her lips, smothering her mouth and nose. It seemed as if the water itself had turned against her, a sinister transformation that threatened to consume her.
