There lived a handsome prince engaged to the most beautiful woman in the world. Despite her beauty, she failed to capture the prince's heart. Instead, the prince fell for a rather average woman who also captured the heart of the cold, Second Prince. Blinded by jealousy, the beautiful woman was eventually killed by the Second Prince. The lesson of this story emphasizes that looks aren't everything, and what really matters is the 'true beauty' inside a person's heart. Yeon-Woo is a middle aged woman in her late 30s. After she passes away from a plane incident with her loving husband, she wakes up as Celine, the beautiful woman who is fated to die. As Yeon-Woo rewrites her story, she learns how to heal and love again. DISCLAIMER: although the story is mine, the art was not done by me!

Welcome, traveler, to the land of Albahkhar. A land of mystery, wonder, adventure, romance, and dangers alike. Not everything you'll see is similar to the deserts of your own homeland. Snakes are as giant as horses, massive centipedes scurry the sands, rock golems venture the lands at night, and big bat creatures fly throughout the scorching yellow sky. And that is only the tip of the iceberg of Albahkhar, or more appropriately, the first few inches of the sand dunes. We'll be focusing on the story of a thief seeking enlightenment. Abandoned by his parents for an unknown reason, left in the streets to rot, and nurtured into a life of crime and thievery, Shaleem el-Khalil wanders the desert in search of fulfillment and treasure. This is no easy challenge, as he is wanted in nearly every city-state he's ever visited. Shaleem never understood this, as he only stole food to eat, occasional fresh clothes to hide in, and some money to get by. Alas, the states and their leaders have had it with this man's trickery and have sent guards all over the desert to capture him. To achieve ultimate power and freedom, he must find the Golden Scarab. A treasure so powerful and mighty that almost every empire on the planet searches it. But little did he know, he'd stumble upon a gem possibly even grander and one far less believable; the Genie's Lamp. Welcome, to the sands of Albahkhar!

At sixteen, Saerina al-Hakim has spent her life crossing the deserts of the Qamari Empire alongside her father's renowned merchant caravan. Clever, sharp-tongued, and gifted at reading people, she expects to continue the family trade, not become a prize in the Sultan's harem. But when a chain of desperate lies and cruel misfortune places her before the empire's newly crowned Sultan, her future is no longer her own. Determined to marry for love rather than fight for a ruler's attention, Saerina refuses to play the deadly game of palace politics. Instead, she allies herself with the Sultan's most favored consort, believing that loyalty and obscurity are her safest path to freedom. She is wrong. Behind gilded walls and silken veils, every smile conceals an ambition, every kindness carries a price, and every whispered secret can cost a life. The skills that once made Saerina an exceptional merchant prove dangerously inadequate against seasoned courtiers, ambitious consorts, and royal schemers who have spent their lives mastering deception. And the greatest danger of all may be the Sultan himself. Intelligent, calculating, and impossible to ignore, he is unlike the tyrant she expected. The more fiercely Saerina resists him, the more their fates become entwined, drawing her deeper into a court where survival demands more than honesty - it demands power. In the palace where affection is a weapon and trust is the rarest currency, Saerina must decide how much of herself she is willing to sacrifice before the game consumes her entirely.
