An Emperor who cannot trust.
A woman who cannot stop loving him.
A Nation built upon lies.
Forced into becoming Emperor Tesarius's concubine to secure peace between two Nations, Princess Aurora enters Lanterbur believing the man she once loved will one day remember her. Instead, she is met with nothing but hatred, cruelty, and a palace determined to see her broken.
When the Emperor abandons her in her darkest hour, Aurora buries the woman who loved him and rises as a knight sworn to protect herself, and every helpless woman within the palace. But as rebellion spreads and conspiracies tighten around the throne, the distance between Aurora and Tesarius begins to close, forcing them to confront the feelings they both thought had long since died.
Yet in a court where every whisper is a lie and every act of love is met with suspicion, trusting each other may prove more dangerous than facing the enemy itself.
Because sometimes the greatest tragedy is not losing the one you love...
It's realizing you were the one who destroyed them.

Can I date you?
"Can I date you?" His brows were very expressive and now the light of his green eyes shone when I showed a difficult expression; it was after all reflected in his eyes. "No" His body that was crouched to level against my small frame stood up; he was massively intimidating yet he always reminds me of the goofy joker we have in the back of our high school class. "It's fine, I'll ask you again" "Give up, I don't want to fall in love with a player like you, no offense" I bit my lower lip in contemplation, I didn't hate him nor dislike him. In particular, we get along well to the point that it still surprises me today. But I just don't want to get hurt. I can already see it in the future and I know I'm too negative but I just don't want to risk my heart for something I knew won't go well. 'But what if it did?' My heart whispered but I buried it down, not wanting to fall into my truest desire and his green playful eyes. "None taken" He gave me that familiar smirk of his which left me somewhat annoyed and when I was about to turn back, I stop in my tracks when I heard his words. "You know I'll always ask you for a date because I like you right? This is not a joke or a bet. I genuinely like you so if you finally have the decision to agree on a date with me then I'll show you that what you fear is not gonna happen" With that, I glared at him and rushed out of the door with my face flushed and my lips were spread widely a silly smile. *** This is a work of fiction, a story that I made in a whim when I was washing dishes and yes, I wanted the cliche womanizing male lead and awkward female lead so strap your belts for a story that will deviate from what you think the story is!

A Priestess for the Blind God (Legends of Rahasia Book 1)
"The Blind God walks around me, and I feel my mind prodded again like it was in the cavern, a spider weaving a tangled web. "Would you do anything to be remembered, Ode, even play a villain, the one who rises against the Chosen One?" In answer, I draw my dagger and make a slight incision against my thumb. Blood drips down, hot against my flesh. I hold my hand out as an oath, a promise. My ghouls hiss, yearning to drink. "I would rather reign over darkness than grovel as a servant to the light." *FEMALE ROBIN HOOD MEETS ONE THOUSAND AND ONE NIGHTS* Ode Ngayoh is the only child of a bloodthirsty desert warlord. When the Blind God chooses her as champion, she's deemed a dark witch, a blemish against the Empire for her necromantic powers of summoning ghūls, the undead. Facing off against the prince and his handsome lover, Ode stands alone with the cursed god's favor. However, the more Ode defends the outcasts of the Empire, the more she finds herself being labelled a villain...
