Half Of A Yellow Sun

Half me and half...

Determined to take control of her destiny, Luna decides to confess her feelings to her best friend, Tandru. But his unexpected reaction will change everything, leaving her to question where she truly belongs. Trapped between two worlds, Luna leads a double life as she is born with the ability to live alternatively between a modern realm and a medieval one. She awakens to one reality each time she falls asleep in the other. In Timeless City-the modern world, she is a misunderstood girl, misdiagnosed with narcolepsy and bullied for her strange condition and appearance. To make matters worse, her mother has never helped her and only added salt to her wounds. Her only solace is her best friend, Tandru, the one person who has always been there for her. As a child, Luna learned it was dangerous to speak about one world in the other. There was no way to prove her experiences, and people either looked at her strangely or panicked, thinking something was wrong with her. Over time, she adapted, learning to take things as they came, asking few questions, and sharing nothing about her two lives. In Ether Kingdom-the medieval world, Luna is the daughter of the most powerful duke in the kingdom, commander of the royal army. Her parents have protected her by creating a comfortable estate where her condition poses no burden. The duchy has been carefully designed to meet her every need, and though she is monitored from afar, she has a degree of freedom. However, there is no one her age, and she never leaves her father's lands and no one ever visits. As time passes, Luna begins to suspect that her parents are isolating her because of her condition. Luna yearns to escape this divided life. Eager to uncover the truth about the medieval world she lives in, Luna seizes her chance during the night of a grand festival and escapes. But her freedom is short-lived. She's quickly caught by her father’s right hand—River, the vice-commander of the army—who slings her over his shoulder, and no matter how much Luna yells at him to let her go, the tiger of a man doesn't flinch and carries her back. >> "Get your hands off me!" she almost shouted, struggling, so I held her even tighter. "Put this on!" I groaned, wishing again I’d worn the damn gloves. The feel of her warm skin under my arm and palm wasn’t helping my focus. "I'm not taking you home like this!" "You don't tell me what to do!" she snapped, desperately trying to break free of my hold as I struggled with the cloak in my other hand, attempting to drape it over her bare shoulders. "I'm not going home! Let me go, I said!" "Did you really think I got you out of there just to let you wander the streets, almost naked, like a lunatic?" That stopped her. "What did you call me?!" "Lunatic!" "You... You…! Take your hands off me, you insolent brute!" Enraged, she yanked her arm too abruptly and lost her balance. I caught her, wrapped her in the cloak, and threw her over my shoulder. She screamed and struggled, but I ignored it, making my way to the Commander’s house, which, thanks to Braa, was only two streets away. And since the entire population was in the square for the ridiculous festival, no one intervened at the frantic cries of the lunatic. No wonder I hadn’t known Sir Caedmon had a daughter. She must’ve been kept locked away. Strangely, she went suddenly still and quiet. Had she grown tired or gotten worried about attracting attention or realized how inappropriate it was to show up at her parents' doorstep in this state? She didn’t seem to care before. After a few more steps, and I started to get anxious—she was limp. "Hey!" No answer. Seriously?! "Hey, you!" Nothing. A bad feeling crept over me, so I pulled her off my shoulder and into my arms. Her head fell against my chest—unconscious. "Hey! Hey, you!" I shook her, but she didn’t move. Panic surged through me. Had she fainted? Had I held her too tight? Lifting her more securely, I sprinted towards the Commander's house.

Phoenix's fated half

Because of her ancestors, Mi Rong’s lineage has been cursed. She was born a princess, but neither was she saved from it. Like a ripple effect, her family line must atone for their actions. On every 100th full moon, a candidate is chosen to finish a mission. Being the chosen one, Mi Rong must finish her task sent by the heavens. She was sent to modern time with a sidekick wolf that had many hidden secrets beneath his paws. He was one of a kind, a spiritual beast from way before Mi Rong was born. As Mi Rong works her way in this modern world, she crosses path with a cold-hearted young man, Feng Jun Kai. Jun Kai was once a well-known superstar but abruptly retired when he had lost his wife in an accident, leaving his heart shut away from others. What was thought to be an accident turned out to be an intentional act by someone behind the scenes. Henceforth, he seeks for the culprit that lurks in the darkness. He returns back to his family business roots where he returns as the infamous young master Feng. Mi Rong’s only clue to her mission was to find a spellbook. While searching she establishes a company, the Xuan Group, selling ancient goods which later becomes one of the most influential underdogs in the business world. The group became known to the world, but very little was known of them, especially the mysterious leader of the pack. As Jun Kai seeks for his answers and Mi Rong goes through her trial in the open, an undercurrent stirs roughly beneath them. Although two with different goals, both collide in the same paths as the string of fate leads them to meet. Entering his cold rigid heart was as dimmed as the dark side of the moon, but an ending to the twisted connection had to be made. In the end, what was to come all fell on her choices... ... Jun Kai did not let her run away from him any longer and forcefully pulled her in. His hands then quickly pulled the mask away from her face. Mi Rong was not ready for Jun Kai's sudden move and was unable to stop him. The black cloth that was wrapped around as her mask was pulled off, revealing her face beneath it. The cloth flew away along with the wind. Jun Kai's eyes widened. It was a blow to Jun Kai. He was taken aback with shock. Different kinds of emotion were rushing inside him. It was stirring up all at once like a hurricane. No words could describe how he was feeling. His hand slowly reached out to the face he had known all along, "Why?" Jun Kai's voice began choking up and could speak no more. It was her all along?
