A/N:: Happy New Year, everyone. Here's to hoping this one turns out better than the shit-show the last one turned out to be.
Wish you the best.

2026-01-05 22:23:21 +0000 UTC View PostSo, 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 the short of it is that everything seems to be functioning as it should on the new account. I didn't...

“Qigang!”
“Qigang, can you hear us?”
“Are you hurt? Qigang!”
It is crazy the things your mind will block out if it deems you incapable of dealing with it; loss, abuse, or in my case, an eternal moment of oneness with reality so intricate it altered the very fabric of my being.
That connection never ended. I don’t th...

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 that she took to heart all the same.
This was why, when Qigang had asked her to train him, what ...
2025-12-12 19:52:27 +0000 UTC View PostAs I sit here posting this, my family is currently at my father's village celebrating the end of the mourning period for his death.
It's been six months since his burial, and since his death, my mother has had to wear all black whenever she went outside in honour of her husband.
I didn't go for the end of mourning ceremony. I think I'm the only person from the family who didn't.

And while those with the former but not the latter can bluster, and pretend, and try their hardest to convince themselves that lineage matters most, everyone who knows anything about anything knows the truth; in the face of talent great enough, even the most noble lineage is trash.

2025-11-23 20:33:19 +0000 UTC View Post‘How did I get here?’ I wonder not for the first time, as I face the fourteen-year-old girl, 816th Princess, Feng Qiling.
Around us, watching like silent sentinels from the high staircases surrounding the massive courtyard we’re in, the thousands of dignitaries in attendance peer down silently and, in many cases (like The Empress, I note) expectantly.

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 than all of Silver Springs.
Left to her own devises, Xiuying wasn’t sure she would have been ab...
2025-11-05 12:28:00 +0000 UTC View Post“You don’t know if you want congruence?” Mother asks, voice quiet in that fake calm way people use when they know if they let themselves feel the annoyance they’re feeling, they’ll likely kill someone.
And since I’m the someone who will be getting killed if Mother Dearest let’s that anger out, I thank her very much for putting in the effort.
Much as I don’t want to d...

“Enmities are pointless, Zexi. They’re stressful and they’re stupid, especially between members of the same family… We all need friends.”
Those were the words that Zexi’s brother, Xian Qigang, seventh born and second son of the Great Xian family had told her after he’d knocked her down in their spar not so many days ago. When he’d healed he...

You know that thing I said about how this dinner will be an unmitigated disaster?
Yeah, I fucking hate being right.
The actual dinner hasn’t started yet and I’ve already almost died once.
Actually, it’s worse than that, because I’m only now stepping foot into the house for the first time tonight, and already I’ve suffered one act of attempted murder from a sibling. 2025-10-17 19:30:06 +0000 UTC View Post
The Xian family has seven scions, myself included, meaning that, with my mother and father, a family dinner means nine people at the dinner table. And that’s assuming no one brings a plus one, because, as I understand it, my four oldest siblings are married.
So, at minimum, that’s nine people.
Nine cultivators.
Good Heaven, this is going to be an unmitiga...

2025-10-08 02:55:55 +0000 UTC View PostThis 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.
I mean, I understand that he’s simply doing his job in the best way he knows how, but with the stress and hypercriticism that has been the very essence of our relationship, he’ll have to forgive me if I don’t say hey to him if I happen to walk past him...
2025-10-06 20:25:47 +0000 UTC View PostStand straighter. Sit straighter. Walk slower. Don’t fidget.
With every new lesson Mother’s etiquette instructor , one Geng Zemin, drills into me, the more my long-held belief is reaffirmed; being a proper cultivator is all about how big a stick you can act like you have shoved up your backside.
Meng Yi and Xiuying aren’t spared either.
As my retainers, especially ones w...

Beneath me is a comfortable bed, covered in sheets that I’m sure has a thread count higher than some wages.
Seated beside the bed is a person, and my qi sense lets me know it’s Xiuying without needing to look.

I turn to her.

2025-09-25 18:17:59 +0000 UTC View PostFixing my soulscape of the Wild Qi corruption had been difficult, disgusting, and horrifying on a bone deep level I spend most waking moments trying to not remember.
It hadn’t just hurt Sunny (and me), it hadn’t just wrecked my soulscape, it had twisted it, corrupted it.
It had turned the inside of me into half a waking nightmare. And it had left me almost too weak to fight ba...

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.
The thing knocks into my side again.
It’s a foot, my sleepy mind realises, and I begin to wonder why a foot is… what’s that word…?

2025-09-09 17:53:37 +0000 UTC View PostThe Imperial Palace is exactly what you would expect if you know anything at all about cultivators.
If asked to describe it in one word, some people might choose ‘grand,’ or perhaps ‘expansive.’ Some might even say ‘beautiful.’
I pick ‘gaudy.’
In fact, if I was allowed to use more than one word, I would choose ‘small dick energy’. Because, regardless of the...

So, I'm finally (almost) ready to publish on Amazon, which means that I will preemptively be taking down book one from all platforms before then.
Since the book should be published by the 25th (hopefully), I will be taking it down on the 20th.

“No, Qigang,” she says, “I am a cultivator.”
And with those words, she returns to her meal. Just like that.
I scowl at her, annoyed by her composure. A part of me wants her to be upset, troubled by my words, but I suppose that’s rather silly. My mother is centuries old; she’s likely lived through things that...

It is the one thing I’ve so far found to be thankful for since my arrival, because my home back in Silver Springs was way too huge.

2025-08-06 10:06:23 +0000 UTC View PostThe one advantage to living in an estate so large that you could probably fit a small town in it with space left over, is that going from place to place takes forever.
Of course, if you’re in a hurry then this is hardly a positive, but when you’re angry, and stressed, and maybe a little scared, it’s perfect.
