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.

Bride of Sultan ~ The Forgotten Rose by magicallovely
3 parts Ongoing
This was my first time. I patiently waited for the man Dua Begum told me would be my first to bed with. After starting to bleed two years ago, my stepmother left me at a pleasure house when my father abandoned us. Since then, I've accepted the pleasure house as my new home. He walked in a black Kurta with subtle green eyes and a deep voice. The moment he asked my name and age and then proposed to me for the wedding, I fell in love. There was no denying it. I was just fifteen, and he was nineteen. But, ever since the night of our wedding, he has not come back to take me with him to his home. He left me alone, stranded, burning for him. I did not know who he was. What did he do? All I knew was that he was the soul of my World. My Jaan-e-Jahan. Seven years later, he came back as a storm in my life. As Sultan Rehman Sulaiman. The son of the man who took everything from my family, even before my birth. The reason I ended up in the Pleasure House in the first place. But my love for my husband, the Sultan, is bigger than the mountains, deeper than the oceans, and wider than the skies, even though he is himself a Mountain, impossible to move, an ocean, scaring people to stay away, and a wide sky, impossible to reach. Discipline is everything for him. He is full of love and respect for his family but equally heartless and dangerous toward those who cross him. And, in all of this, I entered his life as a burning flame, a tiny candle's flame, dancing for his attention, crying for his affection, and dying for his love. Until he killed my only loved one. My love died. And, his never bloomed. I was once a bud, unbloomed Rose, who opened my deep red petals for him, and he turned them black, leaving me forgotten inside the dying pages. Was I always forgotten for him? Did he never consider me anything more than a mere responsibility? Will I always be remembered as Bride of Sultan ~ The Forgotten Rose?

Everything changed the day the King ordered me to seduce his son and bring him back to the Kingdom. He was my best friend. As per the order of things, a Yuvraj cannot befriend a Commoner girl. But we were. He was anything but nice and helpful to me, and in return, I betrayed him. The betrayal ran deep, costing him the trust of the last of his friends. I saw him becoming cruel. The man who struggled to kill a deer in the Gurukul sliced throats and smiled right in front of me. His anger was scary, and the scariest part was the redemption of what I did to him. "You shall marry me," his words were clear, emotionless. "I am getting married. My fiancé is waiting outside for me, Abhinan," I tried to say, but he clenched his jaw. "My father asked you to do something for me, and in return, I shall do something for him, too. He is on his deathbed, and his last wish is to see his grandchild. Since you are closer to him, you must do this," he almost ordered, and I took a step back, shaking my head. "Are you out of your mind? I am an adopted daughter of your Guruji. Nobody knows my family, my bloodline, my caste or my community. The throne will never accept me; your father will be tormented," I said, and he stepped closer. "Well, that's why you are perfect for it. I shall make sure that even after seeing his grandchild, he will never rest in peace," he exclaimed and took me from there. *** The story is set in the 17th Century. When only the Princesses were meant to sit beside the King on the Throne, Trisha transformed herself to become Trishalini, the most loved Queen in history. There was no bed of roses in the early days, but she ensured the people in her kingdom slept on them. Amidst the guilt, anger and redemptions bloomed a forbidden, dark love story of King Abhinandan and Trishalini, aka Trisha.
