This Is Me Trying || romajuliette

Juliette was only ever Juliette. Junli was long forgotten, forgotten among the sea of the pain and fear she left when she was forced to leave Shanghai. Left among the last memories she had before she left for New York.

Left with the reminders the her mother was dead.

Now, Juliette was twenty and returned to Shanghai. There were so many things that she missed, but so many things that she feared of rehappening. She had not seen her family for so long, safe for occasional video calls with her cousins, but she was not prepared to see her father. She could only pray for her own well-being in enduring her remaining days while living under the same roof with her father.

Her mother died when she was barely five. But she had left letters and boxes for Juliette's fifteenth and nineteenth birthdays.

One thing Juliette knew from all those letters, her mother had expected her early death. So, she put every pieces together and try to understand. Doing so, Juliette needed help. She needed help from the other most dangerous person walking the glittering streets of Shanghai. And, if that did not seem any clear yet, then the person she needed to seek was Roma Montagov, the heir of the White Flowers.
