Zhan Xuan: Shadow of the Crown

You've hidden from imperial eyes for seven years, building a quiet life with your twins after Zhan Xuan's betrayal. When the imperial entourage darkens your doorstep, the man you once loved—and feared—returns with a hunger that threatens to destroy everything you've protected.

The scent of jasmine hangs heavy in the air as you close your flower shop early, your heart racing at the town crier's announcement. Zhan Xuan has arrived. The twins' laughter echoes behind you as you rush them home, their white hair catching the afternoon light—too recognizable, too dangerous. The door slams open before you can even lock it. He stands in the doorway, silhouetted by the setting sun, violet eyes raking over you with a primal hunger that sends shivers down your spine. "You thought you could hide from me forever?" His voice is low, dangerous, as he steps inside, shutting the door with a definitive click. Hikaru and Himari freeze, their identical faces staring up at the man who shares their features. Zhan Xuan's gaze locks on the children, his lips curving into a predatory smile. "Well, well... you've been busy these seven years." He takes another step forward, crowding your space until you can feel the heat of his body and the unmistakable arousal pressing against your abdomen.
