The Lord Has Returned 君归矣
This book began in May 2017 and was rewritten in April 2025. A note: This book has no romance pairing, no female emperor, a huge cast, and many long-running clues and plot threads. It's an unconventional, eclectic fantasy with a high barrier to entry...and all kinds of potentially frustrating elements rolled into one book. Also, the book is set against the backdrop of the Two Jin and Northern and Southern Dynasties. The events and characters are all drawn from old records that Xiao Xian dug up.

The Concubine's Daughter's Strategy (Original Novel of The Sword and the Brocade) 庶女攻略(《锦心似玉》原著)
The original novel of The Sword and the Brocade, starring Wallace Chung and Seven Tan. Birdsong echoes as the distant mountains unfold; mist fills the woods as she wanders alone. In the clear haze, she hears the willows being cut; climbing the tower, she gazes into the distance, waiting for him to come. Amid embroidered silks and jeweled ornaments, she is merely a low-status concubine-born daughter... In short, it is the story of a concubine-born daughter striving to rise!
