“Whoever marries the princess will become emperor.” A twist of fate brought them together. Born a curse, she was cast away from the royal family. But when the kingdom needed an alliance with the Northern barbarians, she was the one to marry. As the second son, he had no right to become heir. Yet in the face of war and politics, he was always the first to fight for the country. To her, he was a barbarian. To him, she was a pawn. But under the guise of the prophecy, they pretended to be the most affectionate couple. In front of others, they were the ever-flirting Prince and Princess Consort of Jin. But behind closed doors, they plotted for their own means. Was it really all no more than an act? Or was there a bit of truth to their fabricated devotion? They were unwilling puppets, each trying to break free from the invisible strings of fate. Only, when the stage finally fell, it was to chaos. In the end, she no longer knew if her tears were for him or the irony of it all. _____ Excerpt: He finally stopped in front of me. “Can I trust you?” Subconsciously, something inside me willed me to nod. Perhaps it was the knowledge that I was to be bound to him until death. Or maybe it was the awareness of how this marriage was much more than a simple union between two people. He moved slowly, waiting for another nod of my approval before closing the gap further. “You’re a smart one, somehow seeing through most of my guises.” He reached out and gently caressed my cheeks. “True love doesn’t exist in the royal family, but it seems as if we are the perfect match for partnership.” He leaned in as if to kiss me, instead stopping short at eye level. “Help me put on my act.” _____ Crocodile Tears: Insincere expressions of sorrow. _____ Cover: Manipulated by Photoshop but all photo credits to their original artists on Pinterest

On our seventh secret wedding anniversary, superstar James gave the script I'd spent three years perfecting to my sister Violet. He then had me star in a trashy flick where I had to do yoga on a great white shark's back wearing only lacy lingerie. There wasn't enough sedative for the sharks. In an instant, I was surrounded and mauled by three full-grown great whites. James went berserk, diving into the tank to save me. His hand got bit in the process. Drenched in blood, I was rushed to the ER, clinging to life. As she bandaged James' wound, my mom - the only family I had left - sobbed uncontrollably: "Did we go too far, destroying Melody's legs just so Violet could win an award? If Melody doesn't make it, I can't go on living either." James clasped my hand tightly, consoling Mom: "We'll have plenty of chances to make it up to Melody. Violet only has a month to live." "The only way to guarantee Violet wins the Oscar and fulfills her dying wish was to take out Melody as the frontrunner." "Don't worry, Mom. Even if Melody loses her legs, I'll devote my life to her. She'll forgive us eventually."Even though I've grown numb, my heart is still filled with a dull, throbbing ache. I wish I knew how they could make amends to me, but I'll never have that chance. Because the sick one isn't her—it's me. Every day they fuss over Violet, I silently count down the days until my death.

An aberration fused to England’s coastline, Holyland is not a place but a wound—a cyst where the universe’s first drafts of reality fester. Its founding in 1137 AD by the Order of the Ocular Void (medieval astrologers who bargained with the Eschaton—a starless black sphere older than time) rendered it a membranous threshold. Here, the Law of Ambivalent Causality reigns: every action births contradictory consequences ___________________________________ Author's note: This story is heavily inspired by H.P Lovecraft.
