Looking Glass Of Fact And

Of Flames and Gold

[My WSA 2024 Entry novel! Please vote] In a world where mythical beings have fallen into an "eternal slumber," a thriving underground market exploits the stolen essence of these dormant creatures. At its epicenter are dragons—majestic beings desired for their scales, organs, and prized eggs. The most coveted treasure of all is a dragon's name, a key that holds the power to control its very existence. Dragon Lord, guardian of a clutch of dormant eggs, lives in isolation atop a hill, surrounded by a forest that veils his castle. He bears the scars of past betrayals, having been deceived by those who feigned love to steal his treasures or claim his head as a bounty. Jaded and cold, he trusts no one, living a solitary existence. However, his solitude is shattered when a woman unwittingly stumbles into his life. Yara finds herself in Dragon Lord's treasured den amidst a battle between the dragon and thieves. In a twist of fate, she mistakenly bonds with the dormant eggs, breathing life into them. Reluctantly, Dragon Lord allows Yara into his world, and their journey unfolds amid the looming threat of underground organizations seeking to exploit the dragons for profit. As the eggs come to life, so does an unexpected connection between Dragon Lord and Yara. Despite his cold and jaded exterior, he finds himself unable to ignore her presence. Yara, too, cannot deny the pull she feels towards him, and emotions begin to burn beneath the surface. Together, they must navigate the challenges of waiting for the eggs to hatch, fend off those who seek to exploit the dragon and its offspring, and confront the secrets that Yara harbors—a revelation that could destroy everything. In this tale of flames and gold, two scarred souls in a world where trust is a rare and precious commodity must confront the ghosts of their pasts. They navigate the dangerous currents of love and deception, protecting unborn dragons from a world hungry for their magic. Will their bond withstand the trials ahead, or will the flames of betrayal engulf them in the end? A/N: It starts out SLOW, because I tend to get lost in the pages and be descriptive but once it gets to the action, it really picks up! Looking forward to growing with you all on this journey!!!

Mr. Zhan, Your Wife Is Looking For You

In her past life, Lu Yao was caught in a bloody war between two families, but was tricked into sleeping with a stranger, getting pregnant and killed with her child still in her belly. Returning from the dead, she took her pregnancy report and strutted to the Zhan family's mansion, yelling, ""Zhan Jinghong!"" Zhan Jinghong was the eldest son of the Zhan family, a super-rich family in the capital. He was known to be ruthless, handsome, volatile, and detached. However, no matter how callous he was, surely, he would admit his own mistakes...? Slamming the pregnancy report on the table, Lu Yao snapped: Take responsibility! Zhan Jinghong: Who are you? Lu Yao: A month ago, in room 1301 of Hotel Million Peaks, we did it on the bed, on the balcony, by the window, and in the bathroom. Don't tell me you don't remember. Zhan Jinghong: ...?! Later on, news that Zhan Jinghong was getting married spread throughout the capital, and his bride was alleged to be the illegitimate daughter of the Lu family, recently recognized. The capital was certainly left in shock by the news, but they were all waiting for a quick divorce and for Lu Yao to make herself a laughing stock, since no one believed she could hold the throne as a matriarch. Regarding that, Lu Yao had this to say, “Sorry, but I am going to keep you waiting.” With the superpowers she gained following her reincarnation, she reshuffled the power balance in the capital, and people soon spoke about her as if she would soon surpass Zhan Jinghong. The public: So what if she is somewhat impressive? Her marriage won't be a happy one! Lu Yao, giving Zhan Jinghong a nudge with her foot while she nursed her son: Hear that? Someone said that my marriage won't be a happy one... Zhan Jinghong: Who said that? I'll tear his mouth off!
