The Peony Pavilion In a world where beauty and tradition reign, Lin Xiaohua is the obedient daughter of a noble family, her future carefully arranged to secure her family’s honor. Bound to a loveless betrothal with the ruthless General Wang, Xiaohua finds herself yearning for more than duty and appearances—a yearning for freedom, passion, and the chance to follow her own heart. When an enchanting encounter with a mysterious stranger at the lantern festival sparks a longing she cannot ignore, Xiaohua’s carefully structured life begins to unravel. His piercing blue eyes promise a life of possibilities, yet their connection remains as fleeting as the light of a lantern drifting into the night. As Xiaohua grapples with her duties and her dreams, the shadows of imperial politics and her fiancé’s dangerous cruelty loom ever larger. With her younger brother Jingwei offering innocent joy and the love of family, Xiaohua must decide whether to risk everything to defy the fate imposed on her—or resign herself to a gilded cage. A tale of love, sacrifice, and resilience, The Peony Pavilion is a poignant journey through the beauty and cruelty of a world where one woman dares to challenge her destiny.

I died in an explosion—a betrayal engineered by the man I trusted most. But instead of the end, I woke up in a new body. A noblewoman’s body. Evelina, disgraced and hated, accused of poisoning the Crown Prince of a kingdom where werewolves rule the land. And worse? The man whose life I supposedly tried to end is now my fated mate. Damian, the Crown Prince, is as cold as the moonlight that binds us, his piercing silver eyes filled with distrust every time they land on me. He doesn’t believe my innocence, and frankly, I don’t care. My only priority is survival in this dangerous, medieval world—and figuring out why fate decided to shove me into the life of a traitor. But the longer I’m near Damian, the harder it is to ignore the pull between us—the undeniable heat of the mate bond that makes his touch electric and his presence intoxicating. Enemies lurk in the shadows, including the woman who thinks she should be his Luna. Court intrigue spirals out of control, and the person behind Evelina’s betrayal might be closer than I realize. Damian’s trust is my only shield, but when the truth of my transmigration comes to light, I’m not sure even that will be enough to save me. Because in this world, it’s not love that conquers all—it’s power. And mine might not be enough.
