At 31, Nandi Mkhize is running on fumes. ​She's drowning in debt, working a dead-end job, and watching her friends surge past her toward success and marriage. After an evening spent wrestling with despair, Nandi's frustration boils over onto a language app, where she unleashes an isiZulu curse at a cocky, handsome stranger. ​That stranger is Hanuel. He's sharp, arrogant, and definitely Korean, even though he's pretending to teach Japanese. Their first conversation is a volatile, insult-fueled mess that should have ended with a blocked account. Instead, it ends with a proposition. ​Hanuel has done his research. He knows Nandi is outspoken, beautiful, and boasts 90K followers. He sees her not as a woman, but as a trending hashtag. ​His pitch is simple: A fake relationship for YouTube and TikTok. "A whole Korean dating a whole African. It's rare. People would eat it up." The prize? Life-changing money for Nandi, and a viral career for Hanuel. ​For Nandi, this deal means selling her soul and cultural identity to a man who saw her only as an investment. But with R6,500 a month barely keeping her afloat, she is desperate enough to sign a contract with the devil. ​Now, their soft launch is a high-stakes, globally-watched performance. As the lines blur between their hate-filled banter and undeniable chemistry, Nandi must figure out how to maintain the lie without losing her heart, her pride, and everything she thinks she knows about who she is.

I was inspired to write this book after discovering the RantAgainstRacism website and I thought that writing this book would be a great way to convey the message that racism is NOT OKAY. In this book I will tell you(rant) about my encounters with racism and discrimination as an ABC(Australian born Chinese).

In this post, I will provide an analysis of Chapter 14 of the Tao Te Ching based on my personal experience and understanding, along with an English translation. (Not by me - Credits to my Mom) TTC - Tao Te Ching

每段關係都因為一個契機而發生，而亦都係因為一個原因而分開。起一齊嘅契機總係後知後覺，同樣分開嘅原因亦係不知不覺。 當命運紅線將兩個唔同世界嘅人拉埋一齊，一段關係就係契機之下開始，咁分開嘅時候係咪就代表命運紅線被扯斷呢？或者每段關係都係一個故事，一個似係簡單但係又複雜嘅故事。 ** 備註 ** 呢嗰係一本三語言嘅短篇小說：粵語、中文以及英文。 多謝閱讀！呢本係一本連載嘅小說。如果鐘意嗰故事嘅話，請繼續閱讀、投票同追蹤我。我亦都歡迎任何評論同意見。 ************************************************************************************************** Every relationship begins under an incident and ends for a reason. The incident is always unexpected, and so, the reason. When the string of fate brings two different persons together, the incident happened unexpectedly. Does it mean that when two persons in love parted their ways indicated the string of fate has been pulled apart? Perhaps, every relationship is a story- a story that seems simple but complicated. ** Author's Note ** This is a trilingual short stories novel. Available in Cantonese, Mandarin, and English.

I appreciate and welcome feedback openly. ************************************************************************************************** 每一段关系也是因为一个契机而发生的，而也是因为一个原因而分开。一起的契机总是后知后觉，同样的，分开的原因也是不知不觉的。 当命运红线把两个不同世界的人系在一起，一段关系就在契机之下而开始，那么分开的时候是不是代表着命运红线已被扯断呢？也许每段关系也是一个故事，一个看似简单却

"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.

You were the outcast...just because you were different. Your mother took you with her on her business trips all around the world. You grew accustomed to some cultures, like eating bugs or wearing cute Japanese cat themed accessories. Everyone thought you were weird...and ignored you. Except those 5 people. Those 5 that seemed to enjoy your company. [I do not own Ninjago or Axent Wear]

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.
