I know 😔 thank you for pushing through it!

Hong Shen blinked slowly, allowing his eyes to adjust to his surroundings as his mind caught up. After a few seconds, he shut his eyes tightly, taking a deep shuddering breath as his heart started to race. Exhaling, he prayed that his mind was playing tricks on him, before opening his eyes once more to the same sight. Cold light filtered from the cracks of the dark curtains over the window, reflecting over the floor length mirror on the far wall. A flat screen TV stood alone in the opposit

The narrow alleyway was cold. The winter air added to the chill, but it was more than just the weather. It was the emptiness, the silence, and the hollow feeling that amplified the agony buried deep within my soul. The pain that woke me during the long, lonely nights, awakening from the bittersweet bliss of a wish made hopeless by reality. A desire formed from the consequences of my life; a dream fate rendered impossible through death. Harrowing karma fit for a lifetime of mistakes, the go

It was late into the evening. I had already made the girls food, a cheap dinner from what I found in my sister’s pantries. They had grown restless from sitting and listening to my story for so long, and now they were seated before the television in the living area. Tuning out the sounds coming from the TV, I dialed my sister’s number on my phone once again. This was the third time in as many hours, and I was nearing my limits on how much longer I would wait before looking for her. Hong Mei

A heavy silence fell upon the room, broken only by the crack of Guan Shixin’s neck as he rolled it back and forth. At last, Zi Sheng Shou spoke up. “You mean to tell me Guan Yushe is capable of taking over the entire Imperial Complex and holds enough power to dethrone the Emperor?” His tone was almost incredulous, but his face was carefully blank, his colored eyes expressionless. “Yes.” “And how do you know this?” Hong Shen countered, suspicion written across his features. Not o

Luck is on their side... for now ｡：ﾟﾟ(´∀｀)･｡ Perhaps... or perhaps he is a part of it. Who will know? (○´艸｀)

Guan Shixin set a swift pace down the winding dirt road snaking through the tall trees, checking behind his shoulder every so often to look for pursuing soldiers. None appeared, but his vigilance never ceased, even after an hour and a half of nothing. The sun had already begun to set above the treeline, and the slowly sinking light began to filter through the branches on their right, reaching them at about eye level. Before much longer it would disappear completely, and they would be left

The place Yan Rui called home was nothing more than an abandoned shack on the outskirts of the town. The wood was old and rotting, held together by a few frayed pieces of rope he had managed to scavenge, and when it rained a dusky and moldy scent would surround the decaying structure for days. Ducking inside, he removed Senior Mu’s arm from around his shoulders and attempted to help him sit upon the cold, unfurnished ground, but the man swatted away his hands and remained standing, a rathe

Hi! I am so happy for this story oh my goodness! I saw the Wuxia tag and did a double take! So is this like a fanfiction with your own addition of Chinese myths and stuff or like a continuation of Heaven Official's Blessing? Regardless I am ecstatic to see more people write about ancient Chinese folklore on this site and will be sure to read up on this! ✧( •⌄• )✧

Yeah, the sporadic posting is my bad (^_^;) Sorry about that! Let me know if you have any other questions!

What do you mean? Maybe I can clear some confusion!

Word of the new Dragon Guard’s arrest seemed to have spread fairly quickly, for there were countless servants, eunuchs, nobles and guards idling around, watching him with matching expressions of disdain and malice. The eunuch didn’t bother to stop them, watching from the steps of the South Palace with a weirdly smug expression. Hong Shen didn’t bother to mask his anger, glaring at all who dared make eye contact with him. His two escorts weren’t any nicer, dragging him along out of the South

Well, no, he wasn't... I think it will make more sense if you keep reading (*´ ∀｀）And that's a really interesting idea, but not quite! Think more of a really wacked Ancient Chinese beauty and the beast!

So I did laugh a little while reading this, because this must be fate playing around again. The Mongol Empire began after Genghis Khan's descendants finally conquered the remains of the southern Song Dynasty, and that happens to be the same Dynasty my fictional story is mirrored with! Whats even more hilarious is the fact that I was planning to incorporate some events from the Mongol invasion of Song in my story! Regarding your questions, I am actually Chinese, though I only lived there for about 3 years before I moved back to the US 2 years ago. I was shocked to see how little I knew of my own culture, so I talked a lot with my high school mandarin teacher and did a LOT of research. Even now, after coming up with the idea of TSPBT and writing it, I still have just whole research days where I gather information on all sorts of things! If you want to learn more about dynasties, I would definitely ask some native Chinese people if you know any, and if not, certain historical websites like Brittanica have helped me. Or, I could tell you what I know, which is mostly about the Song Dynasty and mythology! But one thing is for certain - if you want to be sure you have accurate information while researching, read several different sites about the same topic and pick out what they have in common. Brittanica is usually pretty good but sometimes it leaves out certain events and has different versions of things. Also, don't try to absorb it all at once! There are 13 major Dynasties of China and countless smaller ones, so just have fun and take it at your own pace! (＾∀ﾟ)ъ
