A Beautiful Day, A Lovely Scene

[Serial Western Fantasy novel The Siren's Song: blurb at the very bottom. Please add it to your library]

Xu Miaoyu is the legitimate daughter of the Xu family of Xuanzhou, blessed with an ethereal beauty and a slender waist.

At eighteen, Xu Miaoyu was betrothed to the Crown Prince. Once her mourning period ended, she would marry into the royal family.

With the wedding drawing near, the Xu family's bridal procession set out from Xuanzhou for Chang'an, but halfway there, news of a sudden upheaval reached them.

The Xu family had plotted treason. The family patriarch, her uncle, was thrown into prison. The Crown Prince refused to abandon her and did everything he could to protect the Xu family, so he too was imprisoned.

Overnight, the bridal carriage became a prison wagon. Wolves circled all around, eager to claim the delicate beauty who had lost her protection.

To stay alive, Xu Miaoyu had no choice but to give herself to the Crown Prince's sworn enemy, Jing Heng, a rebel general.

The morning after their night together, Jing Heng sneered, "First Miss Xu, I wonder what your Crown Prince would think if he knew his betrothed had willingly begged a rebel to take her?"

Xu Miaoyu shot back, "It's not as if this is the first time I've done something like this. General, you're not even afraid I'll stab you again, so why care about that?"

One was a noble young lady adored by her family, the other an orphan living under someone else's roof. They met when they were young, but the difference in their status led to tragedy.

Years later, when they meet again, the noble lady has become a prisoner, and the orphan a great general.

Their positions have been reversed. One wants to flee, the other refuses to let her go, and their entanglement draws them into a world in turmoil.

Serial novel The Siren's Song [Western Fantasy]

[Her blurb]

In the year 199 of the Oveyi Islands calendar, the siren Mia found a badly injured human.

He was handsome, gentle, and considerate, and Mia fell in love with him.

But he had something he had to do. He left the island where the sirens lived and promised to see Mia again in five years.

During the first five years, Mia went from an innocent young girl to a priestess of the siren people, while the hostility between sirens and humans grew ever more intense.

During the second five years, the emperor of the human empire ordered a massive hunt for sirens, and Mia led her people back beneath the sea.

He never came back.

By the third five-year mark, Mia had forgotten his name, his face, and his voice. To take revenge on humanity, she disguised herself as a human and went ashore on the nearest human territory, Helsey Island.

Elijah, lord of Helsey Island, was the man who had urged the human emperor to hunt the sirens. He was Mia's ultimate target.

Mia became his lover. While he slept, she extended her sharp claws and tore out his heart. Through the veil of blood, she suddenly thought his handsome face looked strangely familiar...

[His blurb]

Elijah is the most powerful human in history.

Rumor says he is cold, ruthless, and bloodthirsty. He once caused a massacre in the imperial capital, forcing the previous emperor to abdicate.

Men fear his power, while women are kept at a distance by his coldness.

But one day, people were astonished to discover that the man whose name could stop children from crying at night had shown tenderness toward a woman.

Elijah had always known that everyone was afraid of him.

Only that woman, despite being rejected time and again, stubbornly continued to approach him.

So he allowed her to draw near and let his heart beat for her.

But the woman who constantly professed her love for him seduced his nephew, maintained an ambiguous relationship with his political rival, and even tried to kill him while they were making love.

He should have killed her, but found he couldn't bring himself to do it.

If that was the case, then he would "imprison" her by his side and keep her there for the rest of their lives.
