Mordecai Borderlands

After Being Kidnapped by the General

Enhanced Blurb: Yuan Li, a skilled logistics officer in the modern battlefield, finds himself transported to ancient China. He awakens as the son of a minor official and is sent off by his tearful parents to the Prince Chu's Mansion, where he is to marry the ailing eldest son in a desperate attempt to bring him good fortune. On that fateful day, Chu Hechao, the second son of the Prince Chu, returns from the battlefield in a whirlwind of dust and blood, his armor still unremoved. He takes his brother's place at the wedding ceremony, exchanging vows with Yuan Li under the heavens. Yuan Li, inhaling the scent of blood and earth that clings to Chu Hechao, senses the aura of a dangerous individual. That night, Chu Hechao insists on sharing the nuptial wine with Yuan Li in his brother's stead. Yuan Li, his smile gentle, extends the cup, "General, please." His slender fingers, as pale as jade, grasp the goblet, while his long eyelashes flutter against his handsome face. Chu Hechao regards him with a sardonic smile, then downs the wine in one swift gulp. Half a month later, the eldest son of the Prince Chu succumbs to his illness, and Chu Hechao abducts Yuan Li, whisking him away to the borderlands on horseback. Yuan Li's Contributions in the Ancient Battlefield: Yuan Li's expertise shines through as he transforms the ancient battlefield: • Cultivating crops to ensure a bountiful harvest • Raising livestock to provide sustenance • Clearing roads to facilitate transportation • Establishing medical facilities to care for the wounded Yuan Li's tireless efforts transform the military camp into a thriving hub, earning him the admiration and gratitude of the soldiers, who view him as their lifeline. The Smoldering Tension Between Yuan Li and Chu Hechao: Amidst this backdrop of progress, a simmering tension brews between Yuan Li and Chu Hechao. Chu Hechao, the enigmatic and formidable general, struggles to reconcile his growing affection for Yuan Li with the circumstances that brought them together. "It was I who married you," Chu Hechao grits his teeth, suppressing his anger. "It was I who drank the nuptial wine with you. It was I who shared your wedding night." "Perhaps you should look my way," Yuan Li suggests, his voice laced with a hint of challenge. Their dynamic is a captivating blend of strength, attraction, and unresolved conflicts, adding depth and intrigue to the narrative. Overall, "After Being Abducted by the General" promises an engaging and heartwarming tale of love, self-discovery, and nation-building, with a touch of tantalizing tension.

The Princess of Northern Land

Lin Ziyin, modern day mechanical professor especially hired by the school, had the potential for great achievement in her field. However, due to family reasons, she could only treat her mechanical research and teaching as a secondary job, pouring all her energy into the farm and the food business before. Despite her low-key approach, she was unable to suppress her sister's rage, and a furious car crash sent her straight to ancient times. Indeed, she had excellent character, so why did the heavens send her to the sparsely populated Northern Land. Known as the death zone, those who were banished to this borderland would spend their lives and perish there. However, Lin Ziyin was quite satisfied with her own identity. Even if she had lost the protection of her parents, she still had the protection of her siblings and grandfather. Of course, she also had her younger brother and nephew at home who needed her protection. This abundance of familial love was enough to compensate for the hardships caused by poverty at home. Poverty, she wasn't afraid of, as she had experience in farming. With large swathes of uncultivated land, the Northern Land was practically custom-made for her. The heavy workload didn't matter either, she was proficient in designing all kinds of small tools. Whether it was the emperor's absurdity, not providing aid to the border king, or the shameless Tatars that would rob them frequently, none of these posed a problem for her. She could think of solutions for everything. It wasn't uncommon for the border king to tell everyone how lucky he was to have married such a wonderful queen!

The Book of Esther

The Book of Esther tells a story of the deliverance of the Jewish people. We are shown a Persian emperor, Ahasuerus (loosely based on Xerxes, 485–464 B.C.), who makes momentous decisions for trivial reasons, and his wicked minister, Haman, who takes advantage of the king’s compliance to pursue a personal vendetta against the Jews by having a royal decree issued ordering their destruction. The threat is averted by two Jews, Esther and Mordecai. Their influence and intervention allow the Jews to turn the tables on their enemies and rout their attackers. This deliverance is commemorated by the inauguration of the Jewish festival of Purim on the fourteenth and fifteenth of Adar (mid-February through mid-March). The book confronts the modern reader with important themes, the evils of genocide and racism. Esther’s character matures over the course of the narrative. As a girl she is recruited for the king’s harem because of her physical beauty. But at a key moment in the book, she rises to the challenge to risk her life for the salvation of her people. At that point, she transforms her status as queen from a position of personal privilege to one of power and public responsibility. Esther’s uncle, Mordecai, appears first as an adoptive father, whose solicitude for Esther leads him to the king’s gate, where he foils a plot to assassinate the king. When he learns of the edict against the Jews, he encourages Esther to confront the king. The book ends with Mordecai as the king’s chief minister.
