    He asked for a wife who would not trouble his peace. At sixteen, Wen Ziwan is sent to the sacred bride selection of Baishé and brought before Liang Shenyu, the feared Crown Prince of Yuhai. He does not want love. He does not want a bride with power. He wants a quiet minor wife, useful enough to bring peace to his mother and harmless enough to remain unseen. Ziwan has no faction. No dowry. No protection beyond obedience. What she has is silence. But quiet does not mean empty. And in a palace built to measure women, no one asks what a silent girl has learned to see. The Selection Beneath the Scales is the first volume of The White Lotus Beneath the Serpent Throne: a 48-episode chaste imperial slow-burn of sacred selection, political marriage, palace intrigue, and dangerous restraint. Book II, The Quiet War of Ink and Silk, is scheduled for late October. New chapters every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 6:30 PM Paris time.

    The New Republic is fracturing. The First Order is rising. Svenja Kroenke, a young officer, talented yet humble, trained in robotics and command systems, is pulled from Earth - by an ancient mysterious Order older than the Jedi - into a conflict where victory is never clean and every decision leaves a residue. Across the board stands Thrawn: brilliant, patient, and convinced that stability matters more than mercy. His enemies are gone or cornered, and the galaxy is running out of room to stop him. This is not a story of chosen ones or easy triumphs, but of strategic warfare, political friction, and the quiet weight of responsibility. For readers who enjoy competence-driven science fiction, moral complexity, and space battles where outcomes are shaped long before the first shot is fired. Svenja vs Thrawn is not a story of easy heroes or simple battles, but of intelligence under constraint, institutional pressure, and the moral weight of decisions that cannot be undone. For readers who prefer restraint over spectacle, and consequence over comfort. Note: * Will be published on RoyalRoad as well

    One library table. Two introverts. And a line that was never meant to be crossed. He is the baritone-voiced grump who carries the weight of the world on his shoulders. She is the quiet sunshine who sees the colors he's forgotten. They don't talk. They just study. But in the heavy stillness of the engineering block, the silence is starting to sound a lot like a confession. The Line Between Us: A slow-burn, "he falls first" Indian romance. #SlowBurn #GrumpyxSunshine #IndianRomance #BTechLife #DeepVoice #Academic #He fell first and harder too
