By the way, this was my first novel. The first serious thing I've written. It's completed, and I'm submitting it here. I could dump a pile of them here, but each chapter should keep most busy for a little while. If I did that, it wouldn't get as much attention, except perhaps through Kamifan or SuperLuminal, so I'm submitting it every week, if I may! Please also read No Face, No Life if you like heartwarming stories with an edge of tragedy. :D

Seven long years... more>>

I’ve waited for you

I gave you one last chance…

Now, Your Highness, you no longer have to worry about me.

I, Wang Chushan, will no longer show my love, dedication, devotion nor will I show myself before you.

You married me and now look at me.

I’m the only one

The only one out of all the consorts – humiliated, gossiped about and hated, just because I love you.

You all don’t know this...

But...

Seven years is my limit - I’m finished.

Your father loves all his wives, your brothers love all their wives, you love only three out of your four wives…

It’s enough now, I no longer want to be hurt by you all.

My name is Zhao Lingfeng. I have a classmate named Dong HeFeng. He’s tall, handsome, friendly, smart, and sociable–everything about him is good, except for one thing: he wants to kill me. ... more>>

How do I know? Well, I’ve known him since middle school and we were never close. If I saw him in the hall, I would only take an extra glance. Perhaps we would even nod to one another as a way to say “hello.” But all of a sudden, in the middle of our first year of secondary school, he started sticking to me! Every day, every class, and sometimes, even every minute! If it were only this, I would just assume he really wants to be friends; but what really convinced me of his intent to murder me was the way he would stare and observe me for long moments at a time. Tell me, if he’s not trying to kill me, then what exactly is he trying to do?!

Therefore, I must never let my guard around HeFeng. Who knows what he’ll do if I’m not careful. HeFeng, just you wait. I’ll force out your true intentions soon! <<less

As the “special author’s edition”, this copy features new author’s notes, the author’s preferred order, and a glossary containing extra lore.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
MUIRGEN

On their sixth anniversary, an explosion stole their lives. Tristan was still reeling from the loss of his wife when he was reborn as Muirgen, the plain daughter of minor nobility.

In a flashy fantasy land that his brother would have drooled over, what was waiting for him was not a life of magic or easy glory, but exploitation at the hands of a father who legally owned him.

Just when he had lost all hope, an unexpected second chance arrives through a political marriage to the dark elf queen.

"Muirgen" is an atypical gender bender about grief, agency, and the art of learning to love again.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
THE HEART IS A SEA

Mermaids are beautiful – everyone knows that. But at what point does admiring them become something more?

Skye has been wrestling with that question for almost the whole thirteen years of her life. Now, cast out by her friends under suspicion of being “a lesbo”, it seems like the only question that matters.

When an enthusiastic mermaid princess offers her a deal that might bring her closer to the answer, Skye agrees without sparing a thought for the consequences.

"The Heart is a Sea" is a romantic comedy about compulsory heterosexuality and mer-human culture clash.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
TO BE A PRINCESS (THERE MUST FIRST BE PAIN)

Princesses don’t cry.

This is the one rule for royalty in Corde Femmes. Vervain has known since she was a child that her fate is to be kidnapped by the Demon Queen, like all princesses before her, and saved after a year of penance. It’s the only way to appease the goddess, Feuvert.

But when her summoned hero sneers at the task before her and refuses to follow tradition, Vervain fears that Feuvert’s wrath will destroy them all.

〈Hello, Handsome Stranger!〉... more>>

Your voice is 〈A Whisper in the Night〉, your 〈Sweet Fragrance〉 a memory I am unable to forget. You are my good 〈Brother〉, my 〈Study Companion〉, my 〈Safe Haven〉, 〈Heaven‘s Gift〉 to me.

Maybe it was 〈Love at Second Sight〉 that brought us together. 〈The Next Natural Step〉 would be our 〈Two Confessions〉 and to 〈Make It Legal〉 at last. From the 〈First Time〉 we met, to our 〈Anniversary〉 or to our 〈Wedding Night〉, I want to 〈Treasure Every Day〉 with you and tell you 〈Welcome Home〉 when you return in the evening.

〈A Bowl of Rice〉 and 〈Ten Pieces of Gold〉 are the same to me as long as they‘re shared with you. I want to go through the 〈Good Times〉 and the bad times with you. I 〈Dare〉 you to 〈Fight for It〉 if we are ever about to lose hope. It‘s just like an 〈Adventure〉 that the two of us will only be able to pass together.

If you have to 〈Walk Alone〉 for a stretch of this path, then I will be 〈Waiting for You〉 at the finish line whether it‘s for 〈Five Days〉 or 〈Twenty-five Years〉, not caring if we move 〈Into a Palace〉 or live in a 〈Lonely Hut〉. I would only be 〈Brokenhearted〉 if you weren‘t with me at the end.

So please, 〈Promise Yourself to Me〉 because among all the men of this world, I am unable to choose anyone but you.

💠 Author Note 💠
* SSC has long arcs. Each world is a fully-fledged novel on its own.
* Don't let the summary (or the cover) fool you! While SSC does have an occasional explicit smut, it is primarily a fluffy and hilarious romance!
* Pairings are one-on-one and taboo-ish. (E.g. hired assassin and his target, monster tamer and his tamed beast, master and disciple, siblings, brothers-in-law, etc.)
