Beside the Throne

Crown Prince Gu Lian was born brilliant—admired by all, his path seemingly carved in stone: ascend the throne and protect the realm. With a loyal general, A Lie; a peerless strategist, Ai Miao; and a fiancée hailed as the capital’s most beautiful woman, he was the perfect heir in the eyes of the world. At age ten, the arrival of Murong Che, a hostage prince from a neighboring kingdom, disrupted the calm like a stone cast into still waters. Gu Lian quickly noticed that Ai Miao, his deep-thinking advisor, paid this heterochromatic youth an unusual amount of attention. To Ai Miao, Murong Che was a flawless “creation”—a vessel to mold, a key piece in a bloodless conquest. But when Gu Lian realized his dreams were haunted not by his fiancée, but by Ai Miao, his life veered off course. On a stormy night at fifteen, stripped of pride, he begged: “I need your love, Ai Miao! I want your mind—so full of empire and ambition—to hold space for me, Gu Lian!” The Emperor and Empress, alarmed by the prince’s dependence and forbidden affection, issued a secret decree. Under the guise of “greater ambition,” Ai Miao was exiled to a foreign land, leaving behind a cruel misunderstanding: a silent departure that shattered Gu Lian’s heart. Five years later, Ai Miao returned triumphant. The prince he had mentored now sat as a puppet monarch; the neighboring kingdom was all but dissolved. But what awaited him was Gu Lian’s frozen hatred, the imperial couple’s silent threats, a scandalous trap of seduction—and a chasm between them that seemed impossible to cross. Misunderstandings, schemes, jealousy, and the weight of duty loomed large. Gu Lian was forged into a blade by pain; Ai Miao clung to his original vow in silence. Until an unexpected aphrodisiac incident ignited everything—burning away their masks. In the collision of desire and truth, they confirmed with their bodies the loyalty and longing that had never faded. “I’ll be your bedmate,” the once-proud prince whispered, stripped of all dignity, eyes burning with obsession. “Just don’t touch anyone else—man or woman. Ever.” And Ai Miao, the master tactician, finally lowered every defense. In the overwhelming tide of pleasure, he saw his heart clearly: All the flawless plans, all the legendary victories—none compared to holding this man. From wary tests to life-and-death trust, from heartbreak to reunion—they must face courtly daggers, imperial pressure, and the tangled mystery surrounding a diplomatic princess. Together, they will purge the rot within and beyond the palace. This is an epic of growth and guardianship. Witness a cold strategist who plots each step for love, with devotion that cuts to the bone; a young crown prince who clings to emotion and carves out a golden age. Two mighty souls, bound to each other alone. Watch them break every chain and write a royal legend unlike any before—at the very peak of power, side by side.

Almost Home

Almost Home is a tender, slow-burning story about youth, loss, and the fragile places we belong to before the world asks us to leave them behind. Set against a neighborhood on the brink of disappearance, the novel follows three young people whose lives quietly intertwine as they navigate school corridors, family pressures, unspoken dreams, and the weight of becoming someone before they’re ready. Ha-Yoon carries the noise of responsibility too early, learning how to be strong long before she learns how to rest. Seon-Woo moves through life with careful silence, shaped by hardship and a loyalty that often costs him more than it gives. Hae-Min runs toward the future with talent and momentum, unaware that some distances can’t be outrun. Their bond forms not through grand declarations, but in ordinary moments: late-night walks, shared meals, rain-soaked laughter, and the quiet understanding that comes from surviving the same place together. As time moves forward, choices fracture paths, circumstances test loyalty, and the meaning of “home” begins to change. Love appears in unexpected forms, sometimes too late, sometimes too soon, sometimes quietly, without permission. Years later, when the past resurfaces in unfamiliar ways, the characters are forced to confront what they’ve lost, what they’ve become, and whether some connections ever truly fade. Almost Home is a reflective, emotionally grounded novel about growing up, growing apart, and the lingering pull of the people and places that once held us together, even after we think we’ve moved on.
