    Summary

    Disillusioned by royal life, Prince Xie Lian has long realised that being the next king of Xianle is not the life he wants. His dreams of adventure and a world beyond the kingdom have always been too far from reach. But when desperation forces his hand and he flees from the life he's always known, Xie Lian gets a taste of all the things he's ever wanted. Learning the cruelty of the world and the joys of life at sea, the legend of Xie Lian the Pirate Prince soon spreads throughout the land.

    Xie Lian decides to take his crew on their biggest adventure to date, one so perilous that no pirate has ever succeeded. The path ahead is dangerous and with so little to go on, they race headlong into the unknown in search of the adventures Xie Lian has always craved. But the path they've chosen is not what it seems and the treasure Xie Lian finds is worth far more than gold or jewels. Finding new allies and learning to face the demons of his past, Xie Lian is propelled into a series of events that will force him to face his fears and learn the true meaning of freedom.

    And perhaps to believe in love again.

    Summary

    “We will offer a marriage arrangement between you and the Crown Prince Xie Lian,” The Queen explained and Hua Cheng turned both pale and red, turning to look at Xie Lian as if everyone had gone crazy.

    “Do you like the idea, San Lang?” Xie Lian asked shyly.

    “But- I’m a… I’m not…” Deep down, Hua Cheng thought he should stop this from happening, stay away before he got the prince hurt again, before he sees…
    “I like it.” was all he could say in the end.

     

    Or: After an unexpected first meeting, Hua Cheng and Xie Lian are arranged to marry for political convenience, but only time will tell if they decide to break the arrangement, or remain together, not out of duty, but for love.

    Summary

    The worst part about the coffin was not the experience, it was others learning about it.

    ---

    “The coffin.” Hua Cheng whispers. “It was a long time, wasn’t it?”

    Xie Lian opens his mouth, denial on the tip of his tongue.

    He takes in an unsteady breath, ashamed to find his eyes burning with the effort to hold back tears, then blurring with his failure to do so.

    “…It was.”

    Summary

    The village Hua Cheng lives in has a peculiar legend associated with it; even though the sea was forever tepid and calm, you were never to swim in its waters, lest you be pulled down and drowned by one of the mermaids who patrol its depths. When he was a child, Hua Cheng almost met that same end.

    Intending to slay one of the beasts and claim the bounty set on its head, Hua Cheng soon finds himself hopelessly drawn to the wanted merman and, in time, begins to uncover the true history behind his village and the curse which plagues it.
