The fated ones by rjmire9

Feng jiu's love for Dong hua has never been a secret. She persevered through every trial and suffering, in hopes of getting his love. As hard as Dong hua might try, he could never hide the affections, he held for qing qui's little princess. He says that he removed his name from the rock. He pushed her away saying, they are ill fated. But are they truly? Why does then, fate keeps throwing them together, again and again? Or did fate had something completely different in the works, all along? This is my imagination of the story between donghua and feng jiu. The story continues after the events of ten miles of peach blossoms. ________________________________________ This story might start on a sad note but i assure you that there will definitely be a happy ending. I urge you to read the first 5 chapters before you decide to drop the story. _________________________________________ DISCLAIMER This is a fan fiction.The main characters are from the drama series Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms & Eternal Love of Dreams and the novels Three Lives Three Worlds & Three Lives Three Worlds: Pillow Book by Tangqi Gongzi.

Spellbound in silk by Rayelinne143

In the hidden, enchanted city of Arcadian Veil, Princess Lian Yue is a vision of grace-brilliant in medicine, breathtaking in beauty, and unwavering in her devotion to her people. One fateful night, she crosses the sacred boundary of Arcadian Veil, not out of reckless curiosity, but for reasons she is afraid to face. There, she saves a gravely wounded man by the river, unaware that he is Crown Prince Rui Xian of the Xiang Empire, a man marked for death. Before he can ask her name, she vanishes into the night, but the memory of her lingers. When their paths cross again a year later, Rui Xian is determined not to lose her twice. Bewitched by her presence and intrigued by her sharp wit, he offers her an impossible choice: stay by his side as his future wife, even though he is unaware of her true origins. But Lian Yue has no interest in becoming a prince's possession, not when the past still binds her to a world she cannot leave behind. As betrayals unfold, long-buried secrets rise, and an enemy with ties to her past threatens everything, Lian Yue must decide where her heart truly belongs. In the end, love alone may not be enough to hold them together, but perhaps, the woman who once dedicated herself to duty will find that home is not a kingdom, but the arms of the man who would burn the world for her. Genre: Fantasy, Romance, Power Struggle, Adventure FYI this is my original story so please don't plagiarize, that's a crime. Updates are regular. Maybe everyday or so. This is a "He fell first, falls harder and does everything to make her his own" kind trope. Enjoy!

Vᴇɪl Of ᴛʜᴇ ꜱᴛᴏʀᴍ ⚡[On-hold] by Divine_kj

"Running from me already, little one?" The voice was a whisper against my skin, dark and knowing. I turned too fast. Too desperate. He was closer than I expected-tall, lean muscle wrapped in black silk. Whiskey-colored eyes traced my lips, my throat. Slow. Unrelenting. "Do I feel familiar?" I swallowed hard. "No." He smirked. "Liar." His fingers brushed my wrist, and a current shot through me. My breath hitched. My body knew him. Even if my mind refused to. But that was impossible... wasn't it? - Kathryn Laurent came to Paris for a fresh start. What she found was something else entirely-something dark, intoxicating, inescapable. The dreams started first. A man with burning whiskey eyes. A touch that ignited and destroyed in equal measure. A voice that echoed in her bones. In those dreams, he ruined her-slowly, relentlessly-until she woke trembling, her body marked by something that should not be real. Then she saw him. Flesh and blood. Real. A star. A shadow. A presence that bent the world around him. He watches her like he knows every inch of her body. Like he's had her before and intends to again. But Kate doesn't remember him. And he? He has spent centuries remembering her. The past is tangled in the present, passion twisted with possession, love with vengeance. He is both her salvation and her downfall. The man who haunts her dreams and now, her reality. And when he finally touches her, there will be no waking up from it. Some loves are written in the stars. Some are written in blood. And some were never meant to be forgotten. - Tropes & Themes : ★ Dark, seductive romance ★ Fated lovers, past-life obsession ★ Mysterious, brooding hero with a sinful touch ★ Tension so thick it lingers like a ghost ★ Paris-luxury, shadows, and whispered temptation ★ Dreams that leave evidence behind ★ Mature, explicit smut-raw, consuming, inevitable ★ A love too powerful to stay buried ★ The line between fate and possession 18+

The Librarian and the Fox Princess: a Donghua Dijun and Bai Fengjiu story, V.I by Small_T_Rex

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.

The Cursed Red String by Kara_Voss

In her dreams, Li Meiyu always sees him-the man with haunting eyes who whispers her name like a curse. In the daylight, she is a brilliant journalist in modern-day Shanghai, investigating a string of disappearances that mirror an old folktale about a vengeful ghost bride. But when a near-fatal accident sends her soul spiraling into the past, she awakens in the body of a woman from the Qing Dynasty-a woman who was once deeply loved and brutally betrayed. Caught in a web of fate and deception, Meiyu is thrust into a dangerous love story spanning lifetimes. In her past incarnation, she was the sheltered daughter of a noble family, promised to a man who adored her beyond reason-a man willing to carve his name into history through blood and sacrifice to keep her by his side. But their love was doomed, twisted by obsession and dark rituals. Now, in the past, Meiyu must unravel the truth before history repeats itself. The man who once loved her in life-and hunted her in death-is still waiting. And in every timeline, his promise remains the same: "Even time cannot keep you from me." But does she belong to him... or is she meant to escape him?
