She has stolen a name, a face, a life-that of a European girl sold to the imperial palace. Now, posing as a quiet healer within the court, she watches. She waits. At the heart of the palace is Jinshi, the unnervingly beautiful imperial eunuch whose smile hides far too many secrets. He's drawn to Sophie-tests her, teases her, tempts her. What she doesn't know is that he's far more than a court official. ⟶ Sophie's real mission isn't the court-it's the crown prince, whose death has been ordered. But the one thing she doesn't yet realize... is that the man she's beginning to love is the very prince she's sworn to kill. ✦ A stolen identity. A forbidden love. An empire on the edge of chaos. ✧ "𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐬𝐚𝐲 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐰𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐤𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐞. 𝐁𝐮𝐭 𝐝𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐬𝐥𝐞𝐞𝐩 𝐬𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐥𝐲 𝐛𝐲 𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞?"

Sequel to Wayward Spring" (Previously titled "Folded in Silks") "In a kingdom by the sea..." One year has passed since Izumi returned to her homeland to reclaim her birthright as the High Priestess. Buried beneath sacred duties, political decrees, and endless disputes, she slowly learned to silence the memories of the life she left behind, the people she abandoned, and most dangerously, him. But just when the past began to feel distant, it returned without warning, threading itself into her present like a loose strand waiting to unravel everything.

Zirelle was born under tragedy and moonlight. Four months after High Consort Lihua lost her firstborn son-a death that left her broken and silent-she gave birth to Zirelle, her second child. A daughter. Though the Emperor had many daughters and no sons yet, she was different from the beginning. Lihua had been poisoned while Zirelle was still in her womb. When Zirelle was born, she neither cried nor laughed. For four long months, she simply stared-her small, perfect face emotionless, blank as porcelain. Lihua, now titled Wise Consort and mistress of the grand Crystal Pavilion, feared she would lose Zirelle too. She held Zirelle constantly, breastfeeding her herself, never trusting a wet nurse. Her noble pride vanished when it came to Zirelle-her only surviving child. She played with her daily, her silks trailing behind her as she knelt on embroidered rugs, rattling lacquered toys and whispering lullabies once meant for her brother. Her ladies in waiting saw her rarely outside the nursery. Then one night, as silver moonlight poured through the lattice windows of Zirelle's chamber, Lihua sat beside her crib in tears, whispering desperate prayers to the gods. And then-it happened. Zirelle laughed.

Warning: Spoilers for Jinshi's true identity ~~~ Luomiere is the adopted daughter of the master strategist, Lakan, and like every other member of the La clan, she's a little peculiar. Her brother views the world through numbers; her father perceives faces as Go stones; her little sister relishes in drinking poison, but Luomiere? She can read people like a book. An arranged marriage, a suspiciously nymph-like eunuch, and a brand new lady-in-waiting. What will Luomiere's story hold? ~~~ Started 2/16/24

~ A Jinshi Fanfiction ~ In the Rear Palace, beauty is a currency and secrets are a weapon. Ichika has neither - only the will to survive. Dragged from her old life and forced into the service of the Emperor, she finds herself under the watchful eye of Jinshi - a man whose charm could melt the coldest heart... but not hers. At least, not yet. Between silken corridors and whispered rumors, the line between duty and desire begins to blur - and every glance carries the weight of something unspoken.

You were well known around the Red Light District that you lived in. With flourishing, silky hair and a beautiful body, men often desired to court you. Some thought you were a courtesan! However...

With your determination to take your elderly father and younger brother's place, you would use whatever was at your disposal so your family would survive. However, when you failed to take their place initially, you only ended up being sent to the Madam of the Verdigris to live with her and just find a place of your own. However, as you're suddenly kidnapped and brought in to the rear palace's inner court with Maomao by your side, and people start to grow infatuated with you... What will you do?
