    Summary

    Laena Velaryon grew up chasing dreams — vivid, aching visions that pulled her northward, away from the silver shores of Driftmark and into the heart of Winterfell. She was meant to stand beside Robb Stark, the heir of winter and wolf dreams, long before the songs ever named them. She was meant to love him, to bleed for him, and perhaps, to burn for him.

    But magic has a will of its own.

    In a time where the old powers of ice and fire stir once more, Laena must reckon with a gift she was never meant to inherit, and secrets her blood was never meant to bear. As the Starks march to war and dragons are whispered of in the far south, Laena must decide if she belongs to the North she loves — or to something older, wilder, and more dangerous than she ever dared imagine.

    The cold does not forgive, and fire does not ask permission.

    When the crowns of frost and flame are placed upon them, will love be enough to hold them together? Or will destiny tear them apart?

    "Ancient blood sings. Ancient bones rise. The North remembers—and it chooses its queen."

    Summary

    The spirit is curt and blunt with his words. He appears in smears--the whisper of dark strands when the Yunmeng wind brushes through his hair, thin yet elegant fingers wiping at Jin Ling's cheeks when he eats lotus buns messily, robes that blanket around him warmly when Jin Ling clamours to be in his lap. He never reveals his name, and haltingly tells Jin Ling of the Lotus Pier of the past.

    jin ling befriends a spirit in lotus pier.

    Summary

    Jiang Cheng never imagined he’d end up as a daycare teacher—much less responsible for a room full of noisy children and his stubborn nephew Jin Ling. Between temper tantrums, assignments, and the occasional scraped knee, his patience is tested daily.

    Summary

    Jiang Cheng never asked to be understood.

    The world knew him as the temper, the discipline, the dutiful leader of Yunmeng Jiang — and that was enough. It had to be.

    Until the quiet return of an old presence, a familiar calm that once trained beside him in his younger, less fractured days.

    Summary

    “Listen well, Uncle,” she started. “I want to marry a man.”

    For a moment, Sect Leader Li blinked, bereft of speech. The silence lasted long enough for Yingyan to finish her tea before it went cold. Out of the blue, he began to laugh.

    “Who’s this charming man who caught our Young Lady Li’s attention? I’ll immediately send your portrait right now!”

    Yingyan appreciated her uncle’s enthusiasm.

    “Thank you, Uncle. Please send it to Yunmeng,” she said. “It’s for Sect Leader Jiang.”

    However, her uncle’s joy vanished the instant she mentioned Jiangcheng. His smile scattered and his hand stopped combing through his still-growing beard.

    “Sect Leader…Jiang? Not Nie? Or Lan?”

    She nodded.

    “The Sāndú Shèngshou, Jiang Wanyin?”

    She hummed.

    “The one who tortured Demonic Cultivators in his idle time? The one whose wrath was rumoured to be scarier than vengeful ghosts?”

    Yes, that was the man Li Yingyan had set her eyes on.

    [ Or where Jiangcheng resists temptation that takes the form of a cunning young lady and fails miserably (willingly) ]
