    In this world where gods and demons existed and were told of amongst the humans, and the leader of the human world proclaimed himself the Son of Heaven, why would the Immortals not involve themselves? They might proclaim themselves above such things, but I have lived over a thousand years. The Immortals are a hypocritical bunch, but sensitive to violence; the Canonisation was a blood-letting of such epic proportions that rivers of blood still stained all of China. Supernatural forces still intervened now and then. Demons and spirits had conscripted in the armies of the Han and the Western Chu. Diao Chan had seduced Lü Fengxian into murdering his foster father. Political power and the prosecution of demons had historical links; inside and outside of China are the same. This humble servant had assisted Prime Minister Li Si and the King Zheng in the founding of the Qin dynasty. Our great Tang dynasty was no exception, is no exception, and will not be an exception.

When he finds out, he is ready to deny the attraction that he had for her from the beginning. However, in time William learns about her past and, little by little, behind the mask of a seducer, he realises that Rose has a kind and sensitive heart. With Rose being the mistress of an old duke (this being her only material support), and other impediments such as foolish male pride, will their love last?

    Genres: Poetry/Historical. Summary: This collection of haibun, inspired by the prints of Tsukioka Yoshitoshi (1839-1892), delves into the Floating World of 19th century Japan when it marched into modernity, losing part of its artistic character in the process. Yoshitoshi was the last great master of ukiyo-e whose visionary courage gave new inspiration to a dying art. I'll attempt to revive part of his world in this collection. Hope you enjoy!

    Father's Gift... is a girl? (A remastered version of the original The Years With You that was sadly lost sometime after the last update on the 20th of October 2017, due to a glitch that wiped out the story by Wattpad. Note carefully that I am not the creator or the writer, of which the credits go to Author -P- or @NiceToSeeYouAll. I'm merely a surrogate custodian and an old-time fan that felt responsible in trying to preserve of what was left of this story. More details of it inside and on -P-'s conversations tab that I recommend you to read to know the full story behind this "restoration project".)
