The Crowned Cat and The Fallen Prince

That night, long ago, as the rain soaked the ground, he should have turned away instead of foolishly waiting for her! Oh, why did he have to stubbornly wait for her? Their life was now drenched in the colours of both love and blood. That ill-fated night, he kissed her, whereas she thrust the dagger into his chest, clenching tightly the icy white jade hilt and pushing. As Shufeng watch his blood spilling, he was still more bewildered than angered. How could he possibly bear it: killed by the woman he loved? Untold confusion and fear filled his eyes when he simply asked: “Why?" She wanted Shufeng’s brother as the future emperor, and revenge for the death of her family. Crestfallen and heartbroken upon finding out she had been deceived, Emika is willing to sacrifice everything–even at the risk of loosing her human form forever–to find him, be with him and seek forgiveness. A tale packed with sword fights, lies and betrayal, lost love and redemption, court intrigue, crossing world, stolen memories and; a story of a prince fighting back to claim the throne, and a woman changing into a cat.

The Day Emperor Akishino Died - Part 22: Love before reason

Yes, Li Ji had suffered much, and Shufeng would let no one disrespect her! She was a water lily—a fighter able to grow out of shallow, muddy waters to produce blooms that more than compensated for its harsh environment. Li Ji had a heart big and strong enough to overcome any adversities, and also, dignified enough to never protest against her environment or hold him responsible for being planted there by his side. 

In that moment, Taizong thought he saw that his brother's eyes glistened, and he detected that his voice cracked. He could tell from this reaction that he had overstepped the bounds of acceptable behaviour, but the First Prince was not fazed by this show of emotions.

"Brother, watch your temper. Since you have just been reinstated, perhaps now is not the time for such display of disgraceful temperament. Eyes are on us right this instant, and tongues will waggle at your outburst.
