To gain access to the palace, Xia attends the next selection to join the sultan's harem. To play the part of a concubine, Xia dresses up as a woman in an attempt to fool everyone. Things don't go exactly as planned when instead of being chosen to join the harem, Xia is chosen to be the sultan's bride.

[2024 Amby Awards winner] For as long as he can remember, Caldor has been forced to live a life of crime. With a group of his fellow thieves, they've stolen from practically all of the wealthier citizens of Redreach over the years. They have a system of how to go about their business, and it works. Until one day when it doesn't. Captured by guards and dragged off into the dungeons, Cal expects to be executed. What other fate could await a lifelong thief? But instead he is given an offer: his life will be spared if he steals a specific book. The catch? The owner of said book is a dragon. Caldor ends up accepting, having little choice, but he doesn't believe he will succeed. What Cal assumes will be his death turns out very differently, however, when he actually meets the dragon-a surprisingly human-looking and handsome creature called Idriseth-and very quickly becomes enamored with him. Cal may have come to steal the dragon's book, but now he wants to steal his heart. But will the always guarded Idriseth let him? Can a dragon even love a human? --------------------------- [word count: ≈ 40 000 words] ★ Featured on @Romance ★ • Book 1 - The Thief's Dragon • Book 2 - The Thief's Mate • Book 3 - The Thief's Choice • Book 4 - The Thief's Bargain • Book 5 - The Thief's Half-Dragon • Book 6 - The Thief's LoversComplete

In the kingdom of Qiangda, the people live a harmonious life. The imperial family bears the mark of the phoenix, a blessing from the heavens and one that guides its earthly representatives. But like all things Yin and Yang, this blessing comes with a curse. At the start of every King's life, a flower object appears, indestructible and deadly. It contains an otherworldly poison that bypasses even the protection of the phoenix mark. And so it has been the imperial family's most guarded secret. The current king, Jiang Zhilan is an idol of the people. His energetic, fair personality paired with wits and good looks has earned him the affections of many. Although he is young, his strategies have greatly helped push back the neighbouring kingdom of Gongzhuan. Meanwhile, in Gongzhuan, the ruling monarch is tired of his advances being effortlessly pushed away just because Qiangda has the protection of the heavens. His confidante and leader of an assassin organization, Mo Wu, knows of a legend. One that is now more of a children's story than a folktale. But to him, it is a chink in Qiangda's armour. He sends his prodigy disciple, Liu Qingyuan to Qiangda to chase the scraps of a century old legend, and a hope to end the line of phoenix rulers.
