#WSA2025 Word went around that no one that had ever knocked on the esteemed Eleazar family’s doors seeking shelter were turned away. Fleeing the prince of Lustris no less, Arabella Sterling held out hope that those weren’t mere rumors as she crossed the border over to Umbraria, home to all creatures of the night. A land where noble blood like hers was a highly coveted delicacy. As such, she wasn’t turned away, but since the Eleazars ran no charity, Arabella was compelled to become the sole blood provider to the heir of the family in exchange for safety. Though never, in a million years, did she imagine that what had started as a simple trade off, could morph into a swirl of tangled passion when the cold and stoic vampire she served showed interest in the young woman beyond the crimson nectar coursing her veins.

To the Reader You are about to enter a world where quiet hearts speak the loudest. Where a single hidden wound can shape a destiny, and a single moment of kindness can rewrite a life. In these pages, Egemed walks a fragile path — carrying a sorrow he never asked for, and a light he doesn’t yet realize he holds. If you choose to walk beside him, tread gently. Some souls are stitched together with trembling threads, and yet they shine brighter than those untouched by pain. This story is a soft call to anyone who has ever hidden a part of themselves, to anyone who has ever feared being seen and secretly longed for it at the same time. Let Egemed’s journey wrap around you like a quiet whisper, a reminder that healing is not sudden — it’s a slow, stubborn blooming. Thank you for opening this book. May something in these chapters stay with you long after you close it. ••• “I once met a man who spoke as if every word carried a wound. His eyes were quiet, yet inside them lived storms” There was a man from Nephelion—a quiet, beautiful place far from the city, surrounded by mountains, fields, rivers, trees, and flowers. He was the second son of Mr. and Mrs. Mychen. He had three siblings: his elder brother, Radaiom Mychen, who was twenty-four, and his younger brother, Heryl Mychen, who was thirteen. The second born was Egemed Mychen. He was twenty-one years old, born on April 23rd, 1989. Egemed was a handsome young man—so handsome that nearly all his relatives and neighbours praised him for it, often making his brothers jealous. But beyond his looks, Egemed was kind-hearted, humble, and soft-spoken. He treated everyone with respect, listened carefully, and helped others without expecting anything in return. He was honest and patient, never boasting about anything he achieved. Even in childhood, he rarely fought with anyone—not even with his own siblings. People felt comfortable around him because he was calm, understanding, and genuinely caring.

From the turn of the new century, the Qing empire has been heralded with ominous impediments one after the other. Their miserable defeat at the boxer rebellion only marked the beginning. Inside the walls of the forbidden city, the power struggle between the emperor and the empress dowager was growing ever intense. Outside the walls, nationalists and revolutionaries were clamoring to overthrow the dynasty. The times have gone tumultuous wherein causes of celebration were fleeting. In 1905, a most welcome news from the inner court came. It has been more than a decade since the emperor married and accepted concubines, but he still did not have a son to inherit the throne. With much anticipation, the emperor looked forward to the birth of a prince. However, much to his disappointment, the child was another daughter. In 1912, despite the edict of abdication being issued, the future of Aisin Gioro Wan Li, once known as Gulun Gongzhu Wan Li or Princess Wan Li of the first rank, was still looking bright. Bound by an internal verbal agreement between her mother and the new president of the republic of China, she was promised to marry the 3rd son of the president, Yuan Kezhen, upon reaching adulthood. However, not everything goes as planned. With the assassination of the president and the short-lived restoration of the Qing dynasty, Wan Li had to escape the forbidden city. Wan Li was a princess, but she was still a maiden born in imperial China. Growing up, she was mostly educated only with the moral principles and social code of behaviour called the three obediences and four virtues. Her personality was gentle, kind, shy, and meek. Instilled to her were traits and beliefs of an ideal wife leaning on dependency to a powerful and influential husband. How was she to survive without the privilege of her birthright during the extraordinary times of the republican era? -- This novel will have at least 3 major arcs. (Yes, I have written that far… at least inside my head. Haha!) 1. Wan Li's childhood in the palace/ forbidden city (qing dynasty until early republican era) Age: 0-12 2. After Wan Li escapes the Forbidden city (early republican era/ Warlord era) Age: 12-16 3. Wan Li in Shanghai. (Republican/ Warlord era) Age 16 onwards — What to expect? This novel will have romance, a lot of it later on but it doesn’t revolve entirely on that. There will be politics. Very necessary as it’s what propels the story forward. Character growth, definitely. For the better or the worse, all there but remember each character would be as human as can be. Drama, face slapping, some darkness, adventure, betrayal, all of it will be in this novel. R-18? There will be but definitely not in the early chapters. Oh and this will have a happy ending, though the roads reaching that would be bumpy. — Cover art: the pictures were grabbed from pinterest then edited by me. Important note to readers: Many events in the novel were based from historical facts. Again, many but not all. Some characters were inspired from historical figures. Take note: INSPIRED. Thus, they definitely have different attributes whether looks or personalities. In this regard, please do not assume that they’re one and the same. The characters here were created by me, so if they’re kinda evil or too kind, don’t think that the real historical figure was. Again, though this is historical, it’s still a work of fiction. So a lot of things and reasons leading to certain factual events may have been romanticized by the author (me).

After Bonnie Wesley was forced out of the entertainment industry by online hate, she decided to return home and inherit the family fortune. Haters: “Family fortune? What kind of joke is that?” Then the CEO of the Wesley Group Corporation worth hundreds of billions posted on X: “She’s my daughter. Biological one.” Haters: “???” Bonnie decided to give back to her fans with a little giveaway. Haters: “Pfft, no one cares! You think we can’t afford to treat ourselves?” Bonnie: “Comment on this post, and I’ll pick someone to give a house to.” Haters: “???” Then Bonnie appeared on a variety show with a top-tier male celebrity.

Aries was supposed to be a simple movie extra. One explosion later, he opens his eyes in a real beastman world—wounded, half-naked, and no longer acting. Humans are extinct. Male humans? Impossible. Fertile male humans? A world-shaking miracle. To the Beastlords, he is a blessing. To the clans, he is a cause for war. And to the cold, teasing system inside his mind? > [Celestial Breeder Identified. Processing host…] Aries only wants to survive long enough to make sense of this world, but every beastman who scents him wants something else entirely—claim him, protect him, fight for him, or breed him. A single human has returned to a world built on instincts and dominance… …and the Beastlords will burn it down to possess him.

What happens when one of them disappears and the life that is left behind seems to be a dream created by another person? Such a situation brings a critical view of identity construction and performativity of self in modern society. Twenty year old Akihiro Tanaka who is solidly embedded in traditional ideals of masculinity is suddenly exposed to an ontological crisis: he wakes up with long, golden hair, with soft facial structure and high soprano voice and becomes Akari a personality with whom the society views as an ideal feminine image, cherished as a daughter and a friend. Akari is drawn into the external demands of a trendy college girl in the naturalistic context of a busy campus environment, but he has to deny the uncomfortable reality of the gender he was before. This disguise is particularly perilous in the light of the continued interest of Hiroto, the old best friend and new comer suitor whose romantic desire only adds to the mental weight. The actual crisis exacerbates when Akari meets Yui, a talented and intelligent student of art whose appearance brings back a new feeling of self discovery. Where Akihiro would have sought to chase Yui in the heterosexual male sense, the experience Akari goes through becomes an in-depth platonic relationship, which puts a strain on the emotional and cognitive constructs that were previously crucial to his masculine identity. Such a change causes an internal confusion, which is a constant longing to Yui as a romantic relationship and the identity lived for friendship. Finally, this character arc is a heart rending example of the intricate relationships of gender fluidity, betrayal, and the catharsis that will necessarily follow the realization of who one really is. The agonizing, gradual understanding that self acceptance usually involves the sacrifice of past identity lays stress on the inevitable conflict between self and relationships expectations.

Isn’t she a bully? Then why is she suddenly so sweet to me? ... All my life, I’ve remembered her as my nemesis, one of my greatest fears back in high school my wicked desk mate, my evil roommate. I would shiver at the mere mention of her name, ELENA MORGAN, even while trying to keep my composure. There was something about her presence the quiet danger in her gaze, the way she carried power like a crown that always made me tremble. Seven years later, fate played its cruel trick. I met her again, Elena Morgan not as my classmate this time, but as my boss. The heiress to one of New York’s biggest empires, the Solaria Group. I had no choice but to work under her as her secretary. At first, I tried to brace my mind, believing she would still be the tough, ruthless girl I remembered. But I should’ve guarded my heart instead… Because she isn’t just powerful she’s sweet in ways that burn slowly, tenderly, until resistance feels impossible. Slowly, I begin to see the truth the reason behind her coldness in school, and how I had mistaken her quiet protection for cruelty. And now, piece by piece, she dissolves the fear I once felt… replacing it with something far more dangerous, a longing I can’t escape, and a love that I can’t resist.

"Your family burned with your pathetic village. You're nothing now—just ashes in the wind." Seventeen-year-old Seraphina Ashborne watched her entire hometown of Thornwick burn to the ground on her birthday, a fire that killed her parents, destroyed her home, and took away childhood. The authorities called it an accident. But Sera knows the truth: it was murder, orchestrated by those she trusted most. Left with nothing but scars and a mysterious phoenix pendant her mother pressed into her hands before dying, Sera embarks on a journey for answers and vengeance. Along the way, she encounters an unlikely band of outcasts: Cassian Veylan, a devastatingly handsome gentleman with a dark secret and an immunity to memory magic; Mirage, a phantom thief who collects stolen memories in crystal vials; and Rust, a sentient tin soldier cursed to serve whoever possesses his heart-key. As Sera travels deeper into the Ember Kingdoms' underworld, she discovers that the fire wasn't random, it was a calculated strike to eliminate her bloodline. Because Sera isn't just a survivor. She's the last heir to the Phoenix Court, born with the forbidden ability to resurrect from death itself, and there are those who would burn the world to prevent her ascension. Caught between a gentleman who makes her heart race and a throne she never wanted, Sera must decide: will she let the ashes of her past define her, or will she rise as the Phoenix Queen her enemies fear most? One thing is certain, those who lit the match will burn in her flames.
