Hina just wants to protect the orphans of her temple and have a nice supper of grilled mushrooms.

But the moon god Tsukuyomi has other plans for her--and they don't involve surviving until morning. 

Their showdown involves a feather robe, magic mirrors, and an accidental love poem ... that may not actually have been accidental.

This short story was written for the Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month contest.

The prompt: The goddess has one job--to deliver blessings to her people and make sure they survive. The Moon has one goal--to make sure she never gets to do that.

A Painting of the Villainess as a Young Lady

146 parts Ongoing

A villainess known by all as a wicked woman who has done all sorts of evil deeds-Ducal Lady Violet. She regained her memories of her previous life after she fell into a lake and almost died. The very moment she woke up, she immediately visited her father, Duke Everett, and asked one thing. "Please confine me to the annex."And so, she imprisoned herself there. Now that Violet was secluded away from the world's criticism and reproach, She immersed herself in her previous life's memories and started painting them. "What the hell are you up to this time?". Everyone was suspicious of just what she might be scheming. However, the misunderstandings surrounding her gradually got resolved one at a time. This story is not mine.
