In this enchanting debut "The Girl With No Reflection," embark on a journey with Ying Yue, thrust into an arranged marriage with the elusive Crown Prince Zhang Lin amidst the mysterious disappearance of the royal family empresses, a whooping seven.
As their wedding approaches, Ying Yue stumbles upon a hidden realm beyond the mirror's surface, altering the course of her destiny forever.
Immerse yourself in a tapestry of action, drama, and romance masterfully interwoven against a backdrop of intricate world-building. Witness the captivating evolution of Ying Yue and Zhang Lin's relationship from adversaries to soulmates, their banter a delightful dance of wit and longing. I absolutely loved that
Thrill at the heart-pounding action sequences teeming with mythical creatures like dragons and phoenixes, each page brimming with unexpected twists that will leave you breathless.
For aficionados of Chinese mythology, resilient heroine, royal court drama, prophetic revelations, and tender romance, this is a literary gem not to be missed.
Some of my favourite lines:
đ âHis murmured threats felt like a loverâs caressâ terrifying and sensual all at once.â
đ âThroughout her life, men had always underestimated her, had constantly undermined her, had stubbornly tried to protect her.
What they didnât understandâ what they never understoodâwas that she didnât need them to protect her. She needed them to believe in her.â
đ âIâve seen what war does. Iâve seen how many lives it destroys. Itâs not just those who die in battle. Itâs also the ones left behind. The trauma amplifies through generations, and neither your people nor mine ever learn.â
