These Royal Bones
Xiao Gumei was just a child when he was torn from the palace and hidden away to ensure his survival after his father’s death. Raised by a childless physician couple in the bustling streets of Guangzhou, he knows nothing of his royal lineage—only that he’s meant to heal (or not), not rule.
But fate has a way of revealing secrets. When the tentacles of the royal family scrambling for power spreads to Guangzhou, Gumei finds himself at the centre of a deadly struggle for power. As the current emperor—his own nephew—realises he is still alive and tries to eliminate him, Gumei must navigate a world of treachery, loyalty, and ancient grudges.
With enemies lurking in every shadow and allies hard to find, Gumei must either embrace his royal blood and confront a destiny he never wanted or find a way to fade into obscurity. Will he reclaim his rightful place, or will the weight of his lineage crush him?
"These Royal Bones" is a gripping tale of identity, betrayal, and the quest for belonging in a world where every choice can lead to triumph or ruin.
