Destined Rivals, Fated Lovers
In the snowbound lands of Gusu, King Lan Wangji is feared for his icy silence and merciless justice. For him, rules are sacred-and dark magic is an unforgivable crime. Far away in the forgotten village of Yiling, Wei Ying lives a simple life-cheerful, chaotic, loud, dramatic, and way too charming for anyone's good.and also hiding a tiny, forbidden magical secret (okay, maybe not so tiny). He protects his people . To his small clan, he's not only a king-but a savior. When Gusu declares war on Yiling, the silent king and the theatrical troublemaker are forced to face each other. Swords clash. Sparks fly. And somewhere between battles and bickering, a different kind of war begins-the one in their hearts. Expect: • Flirtations hidden under death threats • Accidental romantic confessions mid-fight • Melodramatic exits (and entries) by yours truly, Wei Ying • Wangji being emotionally constipated but somehow still hot • Forbidden magic, ancient secrets, and a love neither destiny nor war can deny Because destiny may have made them enemies-but fate? Fate has a wicked sense of humor. This is a BL (Boys' Love) fantasy filled with comedy, romance, mystery, overacting, and unapologetic flirtation. If you're ready for chaos, cuddles, and conflict-welcome aboard. The characters may resemble real people, but they are entirely fictionalized and do not reflect the real personalities or lives of any actors or individuals. Hate is not welcome here. Respect and kindness are always appreciated. Thank you for reading and supporting my very first story!Complete

The war storms at the Frontier... The gods are broken. The empire is burning. And the end has already begun. A warrior with no past unleashes power no mortal should wield. A young ruler clings to a dying crown as his people lose faith. A chaos mage, feared and revered, walks with death in her shadow. Amongst their ranks-two Rifter siblings, wilders of ruin, benders of space and time. Feared. Watched. Leashed by the most powerful. But even under chains, love blooms... and loyalty begins to shift. When the empress falls into a cursed slumber-her unborn child the last ember of prophecy- the empire sends its strongest into the Abyss of Lost Quintessence: A place where even time forgets itself, where silence hungers, and where One of the Roots of the Umbrovyn Tree stands-ancient, cracked, and bleeding memory. Monstrosities roam, daring to strike in daylight. The veils whisper betrayal. Alliances splinter. Some stand frozen, unsure of their next move- fearing one wrong step may provoke the wrath of a dominion vast as a world and cruel as the gods who forged it. Old gods stir, craving redemption through ruin. The Royal House fractures beneath betrayal. A founding father, long patient, now bares their intent- to seize the throne by force, by cunning, by wagering all that is. Their House's malice toward the flawed Royal line can no longer be cloaked. Love will test loyalty. Legends will bleed. And in the dying light of Ether-Space- The Aurora must not fall... Or all realities will burn. 🔥

But her village, with everyone she knows, is captured and taken to the Colorless Land. Left to their own devices, the two set out to rescue the villagers while outrunning their own pursuers.

For the Colorless' magic is slowly destroying the villagers' humanity, and the Colorless People are preparing a war against all the world.

And what about the two married women who were captured without their daughter? But sometimes the smallest individuals can change the course of history... COMPLETED 9-8-2019Complete
