THE DANDY EMPRESS AND THE SICKLY EMPEROR;I don’t want to be an Empress

This is the story of Lin Xue, a dandy young woman who values beauty and wealth above all else. At fifteen, she unexpectedly meets her soulmate. Instead of excitement, she feels only frustration. "I thought I’d meet him at twenty," she grumbled. "My lady, you can meet your soulmate at fifteen or older," her maid replied. "Fifteen is too early! I hope he doesn’t propose. I’ll just tell him to wait until I’m twenty. I want to enjoy my life first." Months Later… "You… You’re the Emperor?" Lin Xue’s mind reeled as she recalled her past words she had spoken so carelessly. [Flashback] "I heard the Emperor is handsome. Hah! I’ll call him ‘Handsome Without a Brain.’ He’s too young to rule a nation! He should be enjoying his youth instead. What a fool! If I were Emperor or Empress, I’d abolish that ridiculous law about marrying at fifteen!" Lin Xue scoffed. [End Flashback] She turned pale. I badmouthed the Emperor… in front of the Emperor. I’m dead. The Emperor leaned back, amused. "Miss Lin, do you remember your words? Let me refresh your memory ‘Handsome Without a Brain. He should enjoy his youth instead of ruling a country.’" He smirked. "Well, Miss Lin, since you’re so concerned about my lonely youth, why don’t you join me? After all, you are my destined Empress. Waiting until you’re twenty is too long. We’re getting married now." Lin Xue’s jaw dropped. "I refuse!" "Oh? Do you want to die early? Because I don’t mind being a widower," he teased, his smirk deepening. Lin Xue huffed. "You’re sickly. A sickly Emperor!" The Emperor chuckled. "Then wouldn’t it be poetic if I died in your arms?" "Shameless!" Lin Xue fumed. Her maid whispered to her, "Miss, if you marry him, you won’t have to worry about money ever again." Lin Xue perked up. "Really? …Fine! I’ll marry you!" But their story is far from a fairy tale… War. Plague. Revenge. Robbery. Assassins. Treason. Can a dandy girl and a sickly Emperor survive the storm? **Enjoy The Dandy Empress and the Sickly Emperor: I Don’t Want to Be an Empress! **

The Glory of The Emperor

An empire built on conquest. A man born without freedom. A throne that demands everything. 210 BCE. For the first time in generations, China stands united beneath a single emperor. The Qin Dynasty rules through iron laws, formidable armies, and an administration that reaches into every corner of the empire. Yet beneath its magnificent achievements, corruption festers, officials struggle for power, and countless lives are sacrificed to preserve an increasingly fragile order. Lin Han was born with nothing. The son of an enslaved woman, he possesses neither noble ancestry nor powerful connections. Condemned to years of forced labor, he has learned that survival belongs not to the strongest, but to those who understand the rules—and know when to break them. When a condemned official's execution exposes a discrepancy in military grain records, Lin Han discovers the first traces of a conspiracy reaching far beyond a provincial supply compound. What begins as an opportunity to secure his own freedom soon draws him into a deadly struggle between ambitious commanders, corrupt administrators, and the remnants of kingdoms conquered by Qin. Then the First Emperor dies. As rebellion spreads and the empire begins to fracture, Lin Han must navigate a world where loyalty can be fatal, mercy can destroy armies, and even the most brilliant strategy demands sacrifice. He never wanted to become a hero. He wanted freedom. Then security. Then power. But as his ambitions grow, one question begins to haunt him: Can a man overthrow a cruel empire without becoming the very tyrant he despises? In an age where emperors rise through bloodshed and dynasties fall through betrayal, Lin Han will discover that conquering an empire may be easier than ruling it. And history rarely remembers the price of glory.

MANDÉ : The Lion Awakens

The Mandé is a world governed by Nyama, a vital force that animates all things, capable of both protection and destruction. Long ago, the kingdoms of the Mandé were locked in endless wars. Cities were razed, conquests devoured entire lands, and ambition knew no limit. Nyama itself fell into dissonance under the weight of the Faama (Kings) and the wrath of spirits, some of whom were corrupted by humanity’s descent into the darker paths of this force. To prevent the collapse of the world, twelve kingdoms known as the Twelve Pillars of the Mandé swore a sacred Oath at Niani, the Heart of the Mandé. It was an absolute pact, meant to prevent the annihilation of the Mandé, to preserve the balance of Nyama, and to forbid, forever, any war of total destruction. From this Oath was born Tasuma, the Bird of the Oath a Primordial Manifestation, a burning guardian of the world’s order. But today, a fracture has appeared. Soumaoro Kanté, the Sorcerer-King of Sosso, has defied the cosmic order. He has placed himself beyond the Oath. Neither Tasuma, nor spirits, nor humankind can judge his kingdom any longer. Where he advances, cities fall. Memories are erased. And the Mandé discovers that a peace maintained by fear can be turned against itself. As the balance falters, an heir of destiny awakens. Djata (Soundjata Keïta), born under a forgotten sign, destined to become the Mansa Supreme a being capable of achieving perfect harmony with Nyama and re-attuning a shattered world. To save the Mandé, Djata must confront the legacies left behind by ancient choices… and the man who dared to challenge the world’s primordial law. For when the Oath can no longer protect, only one question remains: Can the Mandé still be saved or must the world accept being broken, in order to be reborn ?
