A In The Cupboard

A Love Written In The Stars

——— Suddenly, there was a knock at the door. My body stiffened as a palace guard called for me from the other side, but I ignored it. Mei, on the other hand, began pushing me away in a panic. "Cheng, let go," she said, struggling in my arms. "Can't you hear him? What if he comes in and sees us like this?" "I don't care," I replied, my lips brushing her ear. "Tell me you forgive me, that's all I need. I won't let go until you do." I knew I was taking a risk, a huge one, if we were seen like this, there would be consequences. But losing Mei would be the bigger risk, the one I couldn't take. I couldn't let her slip away. "I just need to hear you forgive me, mei. That's all I need right now." The guard knocked again, calling my name, and Mei struggled harder. "Cheng, please," she said, her voice cracking under the strain. But I didn't budge. Finally she muttered, "Fine. I forgive you." "I forgive you, you crazy jerk." "You really mean that?" I asked, my voice barely audible. She nodded, exasperated, and only then did I release her. Just as I did, the door swung open, and I barely had time to step back before the palace guard entered, the guard rushed in, his face pale with worry. It was a close call. too close, but I didn't care. Mei flinched at the intrusion, but quickly composed herself, stepping away from me to a more respectable distance. The guard, wide-eyed and clearly flustered, fell to his knees in a bow. "My deepest apologies, Your Highness. I called for you several times but received no reply. I entered out of concern, fearing the worst." I glanced at Mei, but she wouldn't meet my eyes. She simply gave the guard one last look and walked out, leaving the room without a word. I let out a long, exhausted sigh, running a hand through my hair, still reeling from everything that had just happened. Turning back to the guard, I motioned for him to stand. "Get up" "And next time, don't enter my room without permission." ———— Desperate for an heir, the Emperor strikes a dangerous deal with Lokiàn Shén, a 100,000 year old demon.

A Blossom in Majapahit

Ayunda Saraswati was once Aleya, an independent woman in the modern world, a corporate worker with no family or close friends. She lived a life devoid of warmth, never knowing love or attachment. Until one fateful accident claimed her life, leaving her lost in the void between worlds. Reborn in the majestic Majapahit Kingdom, Ayunda wakes up in a new life, as the 10-year-old daughter of a minor minister in the royal court. The world around her seems eerily familiar, echoing the ancient dramas she had once watched. But this is no longer the life she once knew. Here, in a world of kings, warriors, and politics, Ayunda faces an unexpected challenge: she now has a family—a dignified father, a loving mother, and a handsome brother. For the first time, she finds the warmth and care she never had in her previous life. As Ayunda recovers from a feverish illness in the quiet seclusion of her family’s courtyard, she begins to adjust to her new life, free from the burdens of the court. But she cannot forget her past life and the lessons learned from her lonely existence. She does not seek the kingdom’s destiny or its politics; all she hopes for now is to live peacefully with the family that loves her, and perhaps, experience the affection and connection she never had before. However, the kingdom’s fate is not so easily ignored. And Ayunda’s newfound family, including the handsome Crown Prince Rajendra Wijaya, may be the key to a future far different from what she ever imagined. Disclaimer: This is a work of pure fiction.
