A flash of lightning cracked the skies.
The lightning reflected through the museum windows and shone on the strange relic.
She saw her reflection in the black gemstone set in the centre of the relic, and she was... she was just herself. Black hoodie, worn out jeans, tattered converse sneakers and an old leather bag slung over one shoulder.
The lightning flashed again.
And her reflection changed.
Her clothes morphed into some kind of embroidery. Her bag disappeared.
And then the cluttered din reached her ears.
It was loud. Ridiculously loud. Almost like it was a market place filled with chickes and horses and ancient people...
SQUAWK.

Author's note: This fanfiction was inspired by the book and drama, Scarlet Heart/Startling by Each Step (步步惊心). We took some major creative liberties with the plot, so unlike the book and dramas, it will not make references to actual history.

The CEO's Untamed Wife

Not the kind that surrenders, not the kind that waits. Ah Lei was once a wife. Once the carefully chosen bride of a man who believed love was just another word for **ownership.** But he mistook her silence for submission. He mistook **a wildfire for something that could be tamed.** And so, one day-she left. She was supposed to be free. And then, **she met Rui Feng.** A man who does not demand. Who does not ask. Who does not need to. Because he is not playing a game- **He is the game.** Ah Lei has spent a lifetime knowing how to win. How to walk away before the fire burns too close. But **Rui Feng does not move the way others do.** He does not pull-he lets her come closer. He does not push-he lets her decide. And somehow, that is far more dangerous. **She does not belong to him.** But then, why does he feel like the first thing she has ever lost control of? She can't tell if she's still playing- Or if, for the first time, **she is being played.** This is not just a romance. It is a **war.** A battle of power, of desire, of control. And when the dust settles- **Will Ah Lei still be standing alone? Or has she finally met someone she cannot leave?** --- Mini Achivements 16.04.26 #1 badassfemalelead,luxury life,independentwoman
Forgotten Moonlight
"I'm tired. I'm tired of this, of everything, and what I am most tired of is being forgotten by you. If there is a next time, I will be the one who forgets." As her eyes closed, the memories vanish along with her and the passing time. "I was wrong! I was wrong! I'm sorry! Open your eyes! Cui'er, please wake up!" Her soul fades as the light floats up like bubbles and wanes into the darkness. She is gone. He holds her body, left with only an empty shell, he holds on and cries. "I once told you that I would never leave you yet now I'm the one who is left behind." His tears streams down, gentling as they fall upon her face. Then suddenly he screams to the sky, "Cui'er, I promise you, the next life, I will find you, and even if I am something entirely different, the debt that I owe you shall be repaid." The memories of the mind can be fragile, easily dissolvable into nothing. Yet some things are forever entrenched into the soul, never to be erased. ____________________________________________________________________________________ This is my original story, not a translation. btw, there's a spinoff ٩(˃̶͈̀௰˂̶͈́)وComplete
The Bodyguard (An EXO Fanfiction)
I walked through the grassy area outside the kwoon, heart racing. I hadn't thought this moment would ever happen. I turned the corner and stopped at what I saw. Tao was kissing the cheek of another girl that I hated. I froze, angrier than I thought I had ever been in all of my eight years of life. As I noticed Tao starting to look up, I turned and ran away as quickly as possible in hopes he wouldn't see me or the tears that had started to form in my eyes. In the end I never got around to my messy childhood confession of love.Complete
