The Celestial Phoenix's Ascent

"Queens and concubines are merely pawns in a game of Court," the Crown Prince stared me down, chin high. I returned him a smile, though my cheeks were stiff and reluctant to accommodate my lips. "Then why would a mere woman like me be your only tool to turn the tide?" - As the daughter of General Yan of the great country of Yin Shang, Yan Qing's duty lies with the royal Pan clan, whose sole orders hold her and her family's lives. When Yan Qing turned 19, the Crown Prince of Yin Shang decreed for her to enter the Palace. There, she received her mission: Go undercover as a Palace servant in their nemesis' territory, Jin Tang. Alone and afraid, she must brave through a precarious task. Only by succeeding in seducing the future King of Jin Tang of the royal Li clan would she survive her predicament. But things get messy in a hurry when she enters Shen Li Gong, Palace of the 18th Prince of Jin Tang. He was the downtrodden Prince, target of everyone's ridicule. But Yan Qing recognised the power that exuded from him. Would she be able to weave her way past the Prince's eagle eyes? The fate of her country, and more importantly, her family, lies in her hands. **Warning: Quite the slow burn** Book cover credits (background image): Jingyi Lyu https://unsplash.com/photos/lgCjARMlnjg

To Water a Dead Tree

Zheng didn't have any expression on his face when the Crown Princess' eunuch, Eunuch Fei, sent scrolls after scrolls of the profiles of girls into Shen Li Gong.

It was the third day of the selections. Zheng sat at his desk in the study hall, staring at Eunuch Fei.

The Crown Princess' servant handed the next tray of about ten scrolls to Eunuch Cui, who looked slightly overwhelmed.

It was not hard to understand why. The table was overflowing with at least a hundred scrolls, and Eunuch Fei did not seem to be stopping anytime soon.

I stood at the entrance to the study hall, holding the Prince's lunch on a tray. It had been a while since I had a chance to see him up close, since after the decree was made.

I didn't dare to announce myself, feeling the tense air even from where I stood. There was no chance for me to ask the Prince to release me - he was too busy with the selections.
