Cantonese قصص

Nandi Mkhize doesn't believe in love. Not for her. So when Hanuel Lee offers her a fake relationship, she agrees, no feelings, no risks, no strings attached. But Hanuel isn't just any man. He comes from a world of power, legacy, and ruthless control, a world where love is weakness and Nandi is the perfect target. What begins as a simple deal quickly turns into something neither of them can control. Because the more they pretend, the more it starts to feel real. And in a world where power decides everything. Falling in love might be the most dangerous move of all.

Told in two interweaving storylines, The Ritual and My Son, this is the story of two women, connected by a single life. What binds the women is a single act of courage, a life shaped by discipline and love. My Son details the story of a mother who raised a boy with steady hands and careful love, holding on in small, deliberate ways even as he reached beyond her grasp. The Ritual details how, saved once from the sea by a boy, Siu-man carries the ripple of his courage across decades, from lost identity cards to yearly offerings of oranges, discovering how a single act can shape a life forever.

Who wishes to fight must first count the cost. - Sun Tzu. 1807, Qing China. The seas brim with treachery and blood as pirates plague the waters of the South China Sea. Among them is the Red Flag Fleet, known as the strongest pirate coalition in all of China- that is, until their Grand Admiral, Zheng Yi, dies in a hurricane. The five remaining admirals vie for influence in the gap he left behind. Silent among them is Zheng Yi Sao, now widowed by her husband's death and plagued by a thirst for unfathomable power. The price of greed is high, the price of hubris higher still. Forging a tenuous alliance with Chang Ziyi, her late husband's young and charismatic protege, and the Black Admiral Guo Xingtei, a vicious pirate with an ancient grudge, she seizes power over the Red Flag Fleet and elects herself Grand Admiral. Zheng Yi Sao, now named Zheng Shi, sails with new purpose: Of conquest, devastation, and irrevocable destruction the likes of which China has never seen. There are no lengths she will not go until all the sea is hers, and all the men who sail it- even sinking herself to its depths, if she must. Based on a true story.

"Can I buy you a drink?" Yao pulled his eyes away from Katya and Elizabeth dancing across the room, and twisted his body towards the bar to look at the person who spoke to him. His eyes widened at the man in front of him, his mouth slightly agape, when he realised who it was. "Who-..." He muttered, feeling his cheeks flush red as he instantly recognized the blond man- the same one that would visit the restaurant oh so many times with a group of others in a wife beater and flannel shirt. The same one who Yao would stare at from behind the counter with want, trying hard not to be caught from peering eyes. "The name's Ivan," the man continued, a smile on his face. He leaned forward, his nose dangerously close to Yao, an arm over the ledge of the bar. "What's yours?" --- 1950s-1960s After his father is taken as a prisoner by the government and his mother has fallen ill that would likely lead to her death, 21 year old Yao Wong illegally escapes China to live with his aunt in Hong Kong. When the family decides to immigrate to Toronto, Canada, Yao must take on and live under a false identity, running the risk of being deported back to China and facing the severe consequences that escaping would bring to him. While living his life as their paper son in Chinatown, Yao encounters a young Russian man at The Continental Hotel, who would change his life.
