In the heart of the Celestial Empire of Lóngyuè, power is silent-and betrayal is tradition.
Lady Lianyu was born marked by the Phoenix Star, a destiny intertwined with a power thought lost for centuries. Summoned to the Vermilion Palace, she awakens the flames of an ancient spirit, challenging an empire built on secrets, fear, and control.
As court intrigue tightens, enemies whisper, and allies hide their own agendas, Lianyu must navigate a world where love and loyalty are as dangerous as betrayal.
And when Li Ren-the erased prince with a past as shadowed as hers-chooses her, nothing will ever be the same.
The empire is on fire.
The Phoenix has returned.
And history will remember... who survives.

She was abandoned by her mother on the doorstep of an orphanage run by nuns and was later thrown out of there too due to her unruly and 'unladylike' behaviour. She's been surviving on the streets for many years, stealing for food, rummaging in bins for clothes, scraps of metal or wood, which she uses as makeshift appliances, decorations and weapons. She's had a tough life, but it's made her into the strong, independent and fiery woman she is today. Ezra Beaumont, marquess of Winchester and future Duke, although thanks to his arrogance and narcissistic tendencies, he was sent to work down in the village with the local breadmaker in an attempt to humble him and make him a better person and better ruler by his parents the current Duke and Duchess of Winchester. Amelia's been trying to find her mother for as long as she can remember but all she has is a name. What neither Amelia nor Ezra knew, was that that name would connect them in a way neither would've ever imagined.

They set off on a journey to become some of the most powerful witch and wizard to ever live, in order to defeat a great evil.

The Warrioress and the Dragon King
In a world filled with magic, mythical creatures, and ancient grudges, one name is feared above all others. The Dragon King. A century ago, dragonkind was wiped out in a devastating war, leaving him as the last of his kind. In his grief and vengeance, the Dragon King cursed the world itself. Now, only one person can end it. The Warrioress, the strongest of her time, undefeated, unstoppable, and feared by many, was raised with a single purpose: to kill him. But strength does not mean unbroken. Behind her power is a girl shaped by expectations, burdened by the past, and quietly carrying wounds no one sees. She was taught to be fearless. She was never taught how to be free. And there is one truth she cannot escape. She never hated him. She admired him her whole life. When they finally meet, it is not gentle. It is not fate wrapped in softness. It is steel against flame. A clash meant to end in one's death. And yet... in the heart of that battle, something shifts. A hesitation. A recognition. A feeling neither of them were prepared for. Not love at first sight. LOVE AT FIRST FIGHT. For the Dragon King, who has lost everything, she is not just his enemy. And for the Warrioress, he is not the monster she was raised to destroy. In a story where destiny, love, and vengeance intertwine, the line between enemy and soulmate begins to blur. Because sometimes, the strongest hearts are the ones that have suffered the most. And sometimes... the greatest war is not against each other, but against the feelings they were never meant to have. 🕊️Chapters will be updated within 7 days.🕊️

But as he draws nearer to the beast and is surrounded by invisible servants, magical banquets, and an enchanted forest, he realizes that this beast is much more complex and much more human than he first thought. As their paths intertwine, Kalista must risk opening her heart to another, while Arawn must learn to see past his hate and prejudice.
