The Northern Song Dynasty tried to appease Liao and Western Xia. The dispute between Reformist Party, leaded by Wang Anshi and Conservative Party, leaded by Sima Guang, increased the political risks and uncertainties of Northern Song Dynasty. At the critical moment, Liao and Western Xia planned a conspiracy to put Northern Song Dynasty in an irreparable situation. The strange case of Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang brought them together to investigate the truth. Then, Northern Song Dynasty won the Battle of Xihe.

IT STILL HURTS!!! by 66thkryptonite

Sometimes, love isn't the fairytale they tell us-it's the quiet storm that rages inside when you lose yourself chasing someone who was never meant to stay. It still hurts. Not because of what they did, but because of what you let yourself believe. This is a story about heartbreak, revenge, and the haunting echoes of what could have been. It's raw, it's painful, and it's real. If you've ever loved and lost, if you've ever wanted to scream at the world, if you've ever felt the weight of loneliness crushing your chest... this story is for you. Because, sometimes, we don't get the happy ending. But that doesn't mean the story isn't worth telling.

Suddenly new evidence surfaces, and every one of the disturbing cold cases are put to rest. The most heinous ones everyone fears to touch. No decent human being would be able to follow the macabre details to the killer. And yet, they're found half dead on doorsteps. It all starts with Lilith. After all, it takes a demon to fight one. ~~~ "Who are you?" "I'm the bastard child of a fallen king, and the daughter of a holy queen." Realization flickers in his eyes, swiftly replaced by dread. "You do realize, if your fated one is in my pack, I cannot allow you to be united." "That's a given. I'm only here to pray for the fallen by inacting justice on the demons." "Don't underestimate the bond." "Oh, I won't. I've severed it long ago." #2 in demons Jan 2019 #3 in retrospective May 2019

After that, in an effort to join her, he also extinguished his light.

With his protest ignored he was swiftly dropped into the body of a recently deceased prince. Plunged into the seat of a kingdom, overflowing with intrigue and schemes.
