The Secret Script: Book 2 (Pursuit of Jade/Zhuyu/Chasing Jade Fanfiction)
[21+] [COMPLETED] Linghe had never thought loving someone could feel this heavy. In front of the cameras, under the polished glow of the industry, everything looked effortless. He loved Xiwei with a certainty that had never wavered, a quiet, unwavering devotion that asked for nothing in return. He had never doubted her, not once. But in a world where even standing beside her in public was forbidden, where their love had to exist in stolen moments and hidden glances, something began to crack. Because while he was forced to remain in the shadows, someone else was allowed to stand in the light. Ian Wu had admired Xiwei long before he ever worked with her--watched her from afar, drawn to her brilliance, her quiet strength, the way she carried herself as if she belonged to no one and nothing at all. Working alongside her had once felt like a distant dream. But dreams have a way of changing shape when they come true. What began as admiration slowly turned into something deeper. Something dangerous. The more time they spent together, the harder it became to ignore. Ian started noticing the little things-the way she laughed when she was tired, the small kindnesses she offered without thinking, the warmth she left behind without even trying. And somewhere along the way, admiration turned into something deeper. Something he couldn't quite name, but couldn't deny either. The worst part? He knew she wasn't his to have. Xiwei found herself caught in the middle of it all. Between a love that had always been hers, and a presence that refused to fade, no matter how hard she tried to keep things where they belonged. When the heart is pulled in two directions, which one truly feels like home? Because when love stops being simple, when it demands a choice--someone always ends up paying the price.

The Secret Script: Wicked (ONE SHOOT)
In front of the cameras and beneath the flashing lights, they're forced to be strangers. Perfect, detached, and completely out of reach. A flawless illusion carefully designed to keep the world from ever guessing the truth. But Wicked isn't about the charade they play during the day. It's about what happens when the cameras turn off and the bedroom door locks. Behind soundproof walls and closed doors, the masks come off. No more formalities. No more forced distance. The suffocating tension they've been burying all day finally snaps, turning into a raw, demanding hunger. In the shadows, the heavy silence vanishes, replaced by wrecked breathing and racing pulses. They are no longer pretending. They're not just falling in love. They're tearing each other apart and putting themselves back together in the most brutal, intimate way possible. Every stolen second burns with a scorching intensity. One glance and all hesitation dies-leaving only pure, unadulterated hunger. Possessive hands, a tight grip on the waist that doesn't ask for permission, and the heat of their bodies locking together like they're running out of time. A connection so intense that the scent of bare skin becomes a drug, making them completely forget how to let go first. Behind closed doors, Linghe and Xiwei morph into beings the public would never recognize. They become wild, demanding, and entirely ruled by their rawest, most primitive instincts. This is the story of two bodies craving each other with a desperate, burning ache-wrecking each other in the dark, far from the world's judgment. Some love stories are meant for the spotlight. Theirs? It's meant to be stripped down, tasted, and consumed-strictly behind closed doors.

The emperor's woman (unedited)
Set in fictional ancient China. Changning's first marriage proposal was from Qi Yu, her childhood friend and emperor of the realm. Her packed luggage and the carriage taking her back to her hometown far away from the palace and the capital city had been her reply. Now, more than eight years later, an emergency had drawn her back to the capital city, into the familiar arms of the man who had stolen her first kiss as a young boy. Qi Yu had ascended the throne at only seven years old and Changning had been his only refuge through it all. She had rejected his proposal years ago, and left without even bidding him farewell. Now that he was older and in control of his royal court, he would not be letting her go. A best friends to lovers story where one of them has always been in love and the other was just too afraid to admit it. DISCLAIMER: This is a fanfiction based on side characters in the Chinese historical show and novel 'Pursuit of Jade'. I am not knowledgeable on Chinese history, so this story is purely fictional and not based on any real historical events. I am just using a few of the terms I have learnt through watching c-dramas. The story is original and takes place years after the show. AGAIN; everything is purely fiction adapted from my imagination, google and my very limited knowledge as a Chinese drama watcher.
