"When I found you, the sun found me."

~

It has been 2000 years since Runyu's ascension to the Heavenly Throne. Citizens of the Six Realms are beginning to question the Heavenly Emperor's ability to cope with both Heaven's affairs and his old duties as the Night Immortal, which he refuses to give up. Unwilling to crown a Heavenly Empress and scornful at the idea of taking a consort who can bear him a successor, the cold and contemptuous silver dragon has no other choice but to begrudgingly request the help of the lovely Light Immortal, Juying. 

Astute, charming, and an absolute sweetheart. The sparkling jewel of heaven. Or so they say. 

Runyu reserves his suspicions of what might lurk under the Light Immortal's whimsical, exuberant persona and the warm, enchanting smile she keeps turned to the world. Perhaps the calculating and ruthless emperor might have finally met his match... 

Manipulate, or be manipulated. To bestow favour, or to callously punish. Trust in her innocence, or realize her insolence. In a court of hypocrisy and cruel mind games, and a Light and Night Immortal as disparate as Yin and Yang at the centre of it all, the non-refundable cost of admissions is a heart. 

Winner takes all, and the loser only makes one mistake. Who shall bear the catastrophic consequences?

The Librarian and the Fox Princess: a Donghua Dijun and Bai Fengjiu story, V.I by Small_T_Rex
172 parts Complete Mature
This story is about the birth and development of the best friendship between Donghua Dijun and his little fox. In my re-imagined story, I am attempting to give our beloved leads a genuine chance at love with their own thoughts, behaviors, and desires. Granted, life is full of misunderstandings, obstacles and karma. Donghua learns that being a heartless god has its consequences. Having been careless and inconsiderate with the hearts of those who had fawned over him, he'll find it difficult to fulfill his. At its very core, this is a character-driven story about healing from trauma and the growth of a deep and meaningful friendship. It also attempts to explore the coming of age of love and desire for each of them. Those who can't tolerate slow burns should avoid reading this story ;) They meet much later, (she never becomes his maid) and was not involved in the BQ/Su Su/YH situation. Xiao Bai is young and very innocent as this story unfolds. Donghua is arrogant and obtuse, though with more playfulness and tenderness in the style of The Pillow Book. His edges are much softer. There are quite a few characters from the original series. Zhe Yan, Mo Yuan, Bai Zhen, Bai Qian, Ye Hua, Lian Song, Si Ming and Zhong Lin will make appearances, plus others from Eternal Love and ELOD. Lust + desire will play a part of this story so mature themes/content in later chapters. Reader discretion advised. Story is also LGBTQ+ friendly, as am I. This story and the characters are based on Tangi Gongzi's Three Lives Three Worlds, the Pillow Book, and TMOPB. Images borrowed for this story (like the book cover) belong to the tv dramas and their respective owners/artists. I ask that the original elements of of my story, characters, ideas, and descriptions not be copied or used without my permission. Thank you! May all beings hold themselves and others in lovingkindness.

Synopsis Qin Yu had lost both her parents when she was young and was all alone. Since then, she lived with her father's comrade-in-arms. Due to the huge inheritance that her father had left behind, her foster mother had attempted to murder her repeatedly. To survive, she could only pretend to be a mentally disabled child. It wasn't easy for her to reach adulthood, yet her foster mom wanted to marry her off to a powerful and influential family. She heard that her fiancé was blind and had a violent personality. However, no matter how ruthless he was, was he as ruthless as her foster mom? In order to escape from this terrifying family, she decisively agreed to marry that person in her sister's place. Soon, news of a fool marrying a blind man spread like wildfire. Their marriage had become the hottest laughing stock locally. However, after she married him, she realized that everything was not what the rumors said. Her husband was not blind at all, and he was not cruel. He was gentle and refined, and he treated her like a treasure. And she wasn't mentally deranged. She'd only pretended to be a fool to flee from her foster mom's attempted murders. What surprised her, even more, was that she had known her husband for a long time. A long time ago, they had been best friends online. It was no wonder that her husband was as cold as ice to all women, lying that he was blind and unapproachable. But in front of her, he was as gentle as a lamb and did not hide anything.
Remembering You For Eternity by runexi

[[Book 2 (FINAL book) of "One Lifetime is Never Enough"]] "I would have waited for you forever." The lament of a faraway voice that she had missed - that she had been longing to answer to - echoed in her mind. "But, you are no longer here." The despairing sigh was a muted murmur - clawing at her, begging for her to respond. But she was there, here, wherever the voice was. But then again, she might as well was not. She could no longer see, could no longer reach him. The voice sounded so near, but it was also as far as another world she could no longer be in. Nevertheless, she could still feel, in the darkness that was cradling her non-existence; the agony she felt in her non-beating heart, in her dormant soul, it was all due to her longing. For the owner of the voice. For him. The voice kept begging in agony - tormenting her, tormenting himself. And she could not do anything. "Please wait for me." "Please remember me." "Why... why can't I see you?" "Won't you wait for me?" ----------------- For you, I will wait for eternity. This time, I will wait. This time, it is my turn to wait. So please, please just let me find you. Please, be there when I find you. Please, tell me that you are still mine. That I still exist, perhaps not in your memory, but etched in your very soul. Like you have been deeply engraved in mine, lingering like a beautiful illness I will gladly bear and succumb to. Because, I will search to all corners of this world, and wait until the end of days. For you. Because, this world will always be wretched without you. And then, I will always, forever, bloom. For you. -----------------
