One day a mysterious servant boy named Rui sneaks into her room, daring her to go outside if he wins against her in a game. Upon meeting him, she also befriends a female warrior and a scholar, and realizes life is much more than the palace. When the day comes she can either choose to go down the road her heart truly desires but bring ruin to the kingdom, or ignore the one chance she will ever have to leave this life?

"My fate has been decided for me." 
"There's no such thing as that," he said. "We all make our own fate." 
"But the stars tell me--" I stopped talking when he holds my face in his hands, warm hands cupping my cheeks, brown eyes looking into my eyes. 
"Then stop looking at the stars. Look at me."

A love story about fate, finding one's identity, stepping out of your comfort zone, and, most of all, choosing between your happiness or the happiness of others...

Princess Snow and the Empress by AllyCwrites

WATTY'S 2022 SHORTLIST🏅A Qing Dynasty Snow White fairytale retelling with a Princess Mononoke twist. Featured on @Wattpad's Fantasy Adventures reading list and @WattpadExplorer. ***** Snow is anything but the submissive princess the Jade Palace expects her to be. Her foster mothers find her impossible, her royal tutor labels her incorrigible, and she recently threatened to shave her head if she were forced to marry. When the Empress presents her with an opportunity to go on the imperial spring hunt with the princes and her not-so-secret crush, Prince Erden, Snow jumps at the chance. Who knew that that would lead to an assassination attempt, a harrowing escape, and her getting hopelessly lost in a dark forest during a thunderstorm--with no survival skills whatsoever. The only things she has to help her survive are lots of moxie and latent magical powers she inherited from her deceased mother. Oh, and an ethereally white fox that led seven old dwarves to her. With the Empress's malicious intent now revealed, Snow must discover her true strength, who her mother really is, and what magical powers she wields, in order to find her way back to Erden. If she fails, she might never see him again and die a lonely old crone in the mountains. . . or get murdered anyway when the bloodthirsty Empress--said to have fantastical powers of her own--comes for Snow.

How to court a storm | 18+ by venuslourde

ᴀɴ ɪꜱᴇᴋᴀɪ ꜰᴀɴᴛᴀꜱʏ ʀᴏᴍᴀɴᴄᴇ -: ̗̀➛ Awakening in a world beyond her own, she finds herself in a body she doesn't recognise - shattered, bruised, and bearing the name 𝒩𝒾𝓇𝓋𝒶𝓃𝒶 𝒱𝒶𝓁𝒹𝒾𝓈 𝒮𝒾𝓃𝒸𝓁𝒶𝒾𝓇. In this perilous new reality, survival becomes her only focus, as she grapples with the stark truth: her only power is what she can seize to protect herself. Powerless and alone, Nirvana's plans are born from sheer necessity rather than careful strategy. With nothing to her existence but a name and a broken body, she must forge her own path, uncovering the dark secrets of this world while clinging to the fragments of her former self. Trust is a luxury she cannot afford, and yet slowly but surely, there are those who would kill for her and those who might die because of her. But 𝒜𝓁𝒾𝓈𝓉𝒶𝓇 𝑀𝒶𝓍𝒾𝓂𝒾𝓁𝓁𝒾𝒶𝓃 𝒮𝒾𝓁𝓋𝑒𝓇𝓈𝓉𝑜𝓃𝑒 is neither ally nor enemy - he is an enigma she cannot ignore. Once a boy of striking beauty, his fleeting, tender glances hinted at a curiosity she barely acknowledged. A decade later, he has transformed into a man hardened by the ruthless pursuit of the crown, his once-soft gaze now a burning desire that defies reason. His obsession with Nirvana is both relentless and terrifying. His pursuit becomes an unyielding storm that threatens to engulf them both, leaving nothing but chaos and destruction in its wake. What should be his undoing instead drives him deeper into madness, convinced that she is his by some cosmic right. Nirvana knows she should resist, that allowing this dangerous dance to continue could spell ruin for them both. Yet, the dark allure of his obsession, the haunting sweetness of the chaos he brings, draws her in against her will.
