Leo Carter: The Accidental Time Traveler of Ancient Rome

Leo Carter is just your average 21st-century English major—slightly disorganized, perpetually late, and hopelessly hooked on the dramatic, old-school world of Shakespeare. But when a late-night study session with Julius Caesar unexpectedly turns into an accidental trip through time, Leo finds himself not in a college dorm, but smack-dab in the heart of ancient Rome. To make matters worse, Leo isn't just a tourist; he's holding a mysterious, glowing book that seems to pulse with a life of its own and whispers secrets that no modern-day student should ever know. Cue the eye-rolls from history buffs everywhere: Leo Carter, with his sneakers and too-tight jeans, is now the unlikely center of attention in a world full of toga-wearing senators, opportunistic politicians, and more backstabbing than a high school cafeteria. With the help of Gaius, a sharp-tongued scholar who suspects Leo's arrival is part of a bigger picture, Leo must navigate the bustling city streets, avoid unwanted attention from the guard, and figure out why his 21st-century self is now entangled in a centuries-old power struggle. All the while, he’s juggling his modern sensibilities with the unexpected—and often absurd—realities of life in ancient Rome, including questionable hygiene, impromptu gladiator fights, and more than one ill-timed “Et tu, Brute?” moment. As if that wasn't enough, there’s the book: a relic that some seek to control and others to destroy. With his own life on the line, Leo will have to learn the real lessons of ambition, loyalty, and how to properly make an entrance when surrounded by a crowd of toga-clad onlookers. And he might just find that some things—whether ancient or modern—are more timeless than they seem.

Blueprints of Time (GL)

Blueprints of Time tells the captivating story of Ling Wei, a talented architect from modern times. While working on a renovation project for a centuries-old landmark, she stumbles upon mysterious blueprints that transport her back to an ancient era—though it's a parallel world unlike any she has known. Upon her arrival in this new world, Ling Wei faces a series of challenges. Lost and disoriented, she is mistaken for a young man due to her appearance. Embracing this misconception for convenience, she navigates the unfamiliar landscape and finds refuge in Dragon's Edge Woodcutters, a thriving woodcutting business owned by the resilient and beautiful Wu Meifen. Wu Meifen, a young single mother and determined businesswoman, is immediately captivated by Ling Wei, who she believes to be a resourceful young man. For Ling Wei, it is love at first sight. Despite the initial confusion and the secrets they both harbor, a bond begins to form between them. Amidst the bustling life of Dragon's Edge Woodcutters, Ling Wei and Wu Meifen agree to a marriage of convenience—Meifen for the stability and father figure Ling Wei can provide for her son, and Ling Wei for the chance to stay close to the woman she loves. As they work side by side, their relationship deepens through shared struggles, tender moments, and the slow burn of mutual attraction. Interwoven with their daily lives are the enigmatic blueprints that brought Ling Wei to this world. As she unravels their secrets, Ling Wei discovers that her journey through time is part of a greater destiny that ties her to Wu Meifen and the legacy of the woodcutting business. Blueprints of Time is a romantic tale that blends historical intrigue with the endearing anecdotes of two women from different worlds finding love against all odds. With each passing day, Ling Wei's pursuit of Wu Meifen's heart reveals the timeless blueprint of love, etched across the ages. ○○○○○ As Wu Meifen emerged from Ling Wei's small cabin, retying the sash of her outer shirt, she found herself face-to-face with her aunt, Wu Chen's wife, and her cousin, Zhang Mingyi. Zhang Mingyi's eyes widened in shock. "Why are you coming out from there?" Her aunt, already letting her imagination run wild, gasped, "Xiao Fen, you?!" At that exact moment, Ling Wei followed Meifen out, still fumbling with her own disheveled outerwear. "Ms. Wu, you don't have to—" Ling Wei began, intending to tell Meifen she felt much better and didn’t need further assistance. But she stopped short when she noticed Meifen standing stock-still, her eyes locked on her aunt and cousin, who were staring at them in disbelief. Sensing the brewing storm and the potential for scandal, Wu Meifen swiftly took control of the situation. "It's exactly what Auntie thinks," she declared, her voice steady. "And I have come to agree to this marriage." "You!!" The exclamation came in unison, filled with shock and disbelief. Wu Meifen's aunt and cousin were left speechless, their minds racing to comprehend the sudden revelation. Meanwhile, Ling Wei, caught off guard, stood 70% confused and 30% bewildered, her heart racing as she processed what had just happened. Had her crush just proposed to her, albeit indirectly? The thought sent a thrill through her, mingling excitement with the lingering confusion.
