So, because I'm a glutton for punishment, and also because Podium Publishing contacted me about adapting Young Master Xian into an audiobook (and they can't/won't work with me unless I have a functioning Amazon account)... yeah, I'm back on Amazon.
It's a long and weird story, but ...

“Qigang!”

In the face of overwhelming power, even the greatest skill and the strongest spirit is trash.
This was common knowledge among cultivators, and while it was a truth that Xiuying was fortunate enough to not have had to experience personally, it was one th...

Xiuying watched in the mirror as she transformed from a plain, mannish woman with wild, untameable hair into a regal and pristine aristocrat, and all it had taken were a few hours, the expert hands of Wu Yazhu, and clothes so priceless it was probably worth more tha...

This is our last etiquette class with Geng Zemin, and I hope that the end of it marks the last time I’ll ever lay eyes on the man.

Something thumps into my side.
I grunt and make a modicum of an effort to open my eyes and see what it is, but when my eyes decidedly stay closed, I give up and keep sleeping.
