🌙 Before the Crown

Book One of The Mandate of Blood Series

Power is never claimed.
It is inherited, resisted... and paid for in blood.

Li Mei was never meant to stand near a throne. Brilliant, disciplined, and fiercely independent, she has built her life around service rather than ambition - until a winter crisis draws her into the orbit of Crown Prince Ren Anxu of Qin, a man whose restraint hides a lineage the empire watches too closely.

Anxu does not want power.
The court wants him anyway.

As rival states maneuver, marriages become weapons, rivers become battlegrounds, and every decision ripples through generations. What begins as guarded alliance deepens into a bond neither can afford - yet neither can deny. Their love grows in silence, in strategy rooms, in moments stolen between duty and destiny.

But in an empire where bloodlines decide the future, love is never private for long.

Before the Crown is an epic historical romance of slow-burning devotion, political intrigue, and the dangerous inheritance of power - the story of two people who never sought a throne, yet find themselves impossible to ignore.

✨ Perfect for readers who love:
• Palace intrigue & succession drama
• Slow-burn, emotionally intelligent romance
• Powerful heroines and restrained heroes
• C-drama / historical epic vibes
• High stakes, layered political tensionTodos los derechos reservados

Priestess of The Moon de flowersforleah

Li Xiang is the Priestess of the Moon, she can see read the stars and fortune as well as misfortune to her people. However, the life of a Priestess consists of nothing but loneliness: she can neither leave the palace nor meet with anyone but the Emperor and his advisors. One day a mysterious servant boy named Rui sneaks into her room, daring her to go outside if he wins against her in a game. Upon meeting him, she also befriends a female warrior and a scholar, and realizes life is much more than the palace. When the day comes she can either choose to go down the road her heart truly desires but bring ruin to the kingdom, or ignore the one chance she will ever have to leave this life? *** "My fate has been decided for me." "There's no such thing as that," he said. "We all make our own fate." "But the stars tell me--" I stopped talking when he holds my face in his hands, warm hands cupping my cheeks, brown eyes looking into my eyes. "Then stop looking at the stars. Look at me." A love story about fate, finding one's identity, stepping out of your comfort zone, and, most of all, choosing between your happiness or the happiness of others...

My Sin de bixbix767

Liu Quiaqio, the Empress of the Jin Dynasty has given his heart, soul, and body to the emperor, he loved him to the point it exhausted him, but the cold emperor only had eyes for one person, and that person wasn't him, the warmth in his eyes when he looked at that person would never belong to him, the gentleness when he spoke to that person would never be heard by him until his death. "What wrongs have I committed, for you hate me this much? Did I do anything wrong for you to look at me with such contempt in your eyes? Was loving you such a sin?" I asked weakly "Your sin was that you loved somebody you weren't supposed to love," He responded coldly. 'He's right I squandered so much love on him that I did not have any left for my sons and my daughter, for the ones who truly cared about me. If I had one chance to make it up to them I would spend my whole life doing so' I thought as I closed my eyes and welcomed death or so I thought. *Not yet edited* My story!

THE DEADLIEST ASSASSIN IN THE KNOWN WORLD HAS JUST BEEN SPOTTED, AND THEY'RE NOT LETTING HER ESCAPE AGAIN. When Aleksandr Volkov crashes into her house and announces that the Black Camellia has been sighted within the country, Daneira Pang isn't sure if she should thank or curse her luck. After all, they'd both been hunting the assassin for years, but if they fail... She'd prefer death, thank you very much. She'd never asked for this life, but she'd never had a choice: this was her duty, and and duty was not something she could escape. There were only two reasons and two reasons alone why Aleksandr Volkov had willingly accepted this mission and went into the eye of the storm: one, because one of the Black Camellia's first targets had been his childhood friend; and two, because Danna was in Melique, and damned if he was going to let her face the Black Camellia alone. He'd already lost too many people in his life, he wasn't about to let Danna become the next one. They'll have to work around the clock to stop the assassin before it's too late. After all, it wasn't just the fate of a nation lying in their hands. It was the fate of the damned world as they knew it. And neither of them wanted to be responsible for inciting a war that might just rip their whole world in half. (Book Two of The Lady Kuroki's School for Girls trilogy Can be read as a standalone) Formerly a Wattpad Original novel
