Raised by wolves that prowl the Western desert, Jade learnt to become human again after saving a man dying of thirst. Originally a Southern Dynasty citizen, he brought her back to the Jie tribe where he taught her arts and literacy and became her Father. However, she was yet again forced to survive with her lupine family, after her Father's death during the Jie tribe's coup d'etat, to escape the hunters who sought to silence her.
Initially content with living out her days in the desert, she fatefully meets the calm and soft-spoken Meng Moxun, whom everyone calls the Ninth Master, then the handsome yet cold General Wei Wuji. Following her Father's dying wishes for her to see his birth place, she adventures into Jianan City, the capital of Mainland and changes her name to "Luna". Upon meeting these two men again, her past will influence how she responds to her future.
Both men become exceedingly important to her survival as she unwittingly becomes embroiled in a dangerous political struggle within the Southern Dynasty palace, where these people were also at war with the Jie Tribe. Her past was bound to catch up with her.
She falls for one man, but was rejected. What was his reason and who will she choose in the end? Who will protect her from her past, present and future? Ultimately, what will be the fate of her and her protectors?...

THIS STORY IS NOT MINE! BUT THIS WORK IS MINE!
This is merely a translation of a drama called Sound of the Desert which is based on a Chinese Historical Romance novel written by Tong Hua called - Ballad of the Desert. I take no credit for the story!
This story is merely my transformation of this beautiful drama and novel into literary English and I am utilising my creativity to share this captivating story. I will be posting links to the drama's episodes (English subtitled, don't worry) with each chapter.

I Used to Be a Bunny, Now I'm my Owner's Assistant?!
Tang Jiaxin was just a pampered bunny-literally. Adopted by the calm but quietly commanding CEO Xu Jinyu, she spent her days munching on carrots, rolling in flower beds, and unknowingly inspiring the world's first anti-aging serum for animals. Her quiet presence became the emotional core of YSHT (养生华堂), the luxury skincare offshoot of the centuries-old perfume house Xuhuang (许凰). But one morning, she wakes up as a human girl-in Jinyu's home lab, no less-and everything changes. What Jiaxin doesn't remember is that this wasn't fate. It was a choice. In a past life, she died protecting him-and this time, Jinyu bent science itself to bring her back. Now reincarnated, chaotic, and still a little carrot-obsessed, Jiaxin becomes his assistant-and unofficial princess-living under the same roof as the genius who never stopped mourning her. With coquette flair and a sparkling sense of justice, she accidentally launches YSHT into a viral renaissance: red-envelope campaigns, donation drives, and fashion-forward skincare that send their stock soaring. But success brings enemies. Western beauty houses, long dominant in the global market, strike back with smear campaigns and sanctions. At the front is Yanchun (延春), their oldest rival, obsessed with the dream of immortality. And at their helm is Wu Zhaoyuan: sharp-eyed, calculating, the kind of man who treats business like war. To the world, he's Xuhuang's coldest enemy. But when he crosses paths with Rui Ming, Jiaxin's incisive best friend, contradictions surface-and for the first time, he isn't sure he wants to look away. Two industries. One reincarnated girl created by love. And a war that might expose not just enemies-but unlikely allies. note: I used an ai image generator OH ALSO THIS IS GONNA HAVE A SPRINKLE/SEGMENT FOR REPUBLICAN ERA CHINA AND XIANXIA STUFF. bunny gf x deer/qilin bf.Complete

where the thorns grow
WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN YOUR WORST NIGHTMARE IS INVITED STRAIGHT INTO THE HEART OF YOUR HOUSE? Seven years ago, Rhysa Jiang ran. She buried her past, chose to start over from a clean slate. She became a near legend, the only female Iron Wolf, deciding to become something new. They've hunted her down ever since, and until now she'd managed to evade their search. But now they've been invited to Sai. The Scarlet Palace. Her only home, her safe haven. And Rhysa has a suspicious feeling she's not going to be able to escape the Falcons' grasp this time. After all, she's a deserter, and those pay in blood around here. Dominic Lang had learnt long ago that Rhysa's past was something that shouldn't be dug up. Sure, he had his suspicions, but after being partners for six years, you learnt to trust someone. And if there was one thing he knew about Rhys, it was that the girl was fearless. So her sudden terror makes no sense. Her sudden caution, her sudden reluctance to even show her face in public is completely baffling. And he'll get to the bottom of this. Because Rhysa Jiang had been hiding the entirety of herself from him for too long, because there was nothing he loved more than a good mystery and challenge, and Rhys might just be the biggest one of all. It was just what friends do. (book #1 of 4 in the court of bones series, the third instalment in the silk and steel chronicles can be read as a stand-alone)Complete
