    In a vibrant Tang Dynasty-inspired kingdom, Lin Meiwei, a young woman from a modest merchant family, prays daily at her family's ancestral shrine for a husband as honorable and loving as her father. Her world crumbles when she discovers her father's infidelity, shattering her trust in love and men. Devastated by her mother's subsequent death, Meiwei vows never to love, dedicating herself to independence and her family's silk trade. Meanwhile, Prince Zhao Yichen, a kind-hearted but outcast royal, endures mistreatment in the imperial palace due to his low-born mother's status. Fate brings Meiwei and Yichen together in a bustling market, sparking an accidental connection filled with wary compassion. As their paths intertwine through chance encounters at temple festivals and shared moments of vulnerability, Meiwei and Yichen find solace in their mutual pain. But palace intrigue threatens their fragile bond, with the scheming Empress Dowager targeting Meiwei to control Yichen. Against a backdrop of lantern-lit rivers, hidden safehouses, and perilous escapes, their slow-burn romance blossoms amidst angst and emotional turmoil. Defying societal norms and personal scars, they learn to trust and love, forging a new life together in a seaside town. Rooted in Chinese traditions of filial piety, ancestral worship, and palace hierarchies, The Prayer Unanswered is a poignant tale of healing, defiance, and the transformative power of love.

    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.

Wen, a reclusive scholar in the waning days of the Tang Dynasty, seeks only peace and the solitude of his inkstone. But when Mei-a wild and radiant fox woman-storms into his life, everything changes.

As political tensions rise and jealous forces seek to use Wen for their own ends, Mei reveals a deeper realm of magic, danger, and ancestral secrets.
