A Tale of Chinese New Year Lovers: My Dragon, My Love
"When Chinese New Year happens, that's the only time I get to see him." - AX
Althea Xi, an orphan and a freelance article writer in most Shanghai mainland broadcasting and newspaper companies wanted to become a famous top author in China through an international competition that will end before the new year of 2023. She came up with the decision to use the 'The Legend of the Cursed Dragon' as her setting for her work, in which her deceased grandmother always told her when it was nighttime when she was just a kid. But fate turned the tables around when she has been disqualified from the competition as soon as she used the prohibited folklore.
She used that opportunity to abandon the story that was etched through her mind for a long time by throwing the bejeweled box that she was forbidden to open to the Yangtze River. Her deceased grandmother had been guarding it since her teenage years, and she knew that the box and the legend had been bringing her a stroke of bad luck all throughout her life. But before she could even leave the river, she accidentally tripped through rocks and fell down on the deep waters.
She swam upwards with all her might, but little did she know, she was being transported through the year 1904, where a Chinese New Year celebration was happening on the side of the river.
---------------------------
A LITTLE EXCERPT:
"I exude a powerful charm I never imagined that would save you."
"It was because of the power of love we have on each other."
He then claimed her lips in the middle of the rain while the rivers of the Yangtze River were evident. He held onto her waist after a while. And she scraped her fingernails on his hair.
They both love each other, they both do.

Quite a good mix of folklore and contemporary literature.. flashbacks were written in such good timing that readers might feel they were transported back and forth through the centuries of the oriental landscape. I can almost perceive the pain Althea, the story's protagonist, felt as her world suddenly went upside down.. it was as if the cursed legend cursed her fortunes. Great job, author! Keep the chapters coming[img=recommend]
First things first, reading the initial chapter made me think of my grandmother, hehe. The plot is refreshing and the writing quality is superb. I felt like I was watching a movie instead of merely reading, the scene unfolding before me. I think I have fallen in love with this book. I'm looking forward to what happens next :D Great job author-nim <3 If you have yet to read this, I say, read it!
good start. keep it up. only few chapters out so can't say a lot yet. but it's a good start. it has good sentence flow and only few things to nitpick. this is also a 3rd person POV like what I want. I'm not really into first person POV. so plus point for that. hope you continue your upload.
An interesting plot that would make you try to guess what would be the outcome of the story! Although, it isn't complete yet.. I know that this would be a successful book. I'm really hoping to find the ending a great one author. :)
Wow! A special book that must be read. Highly recommended because of the great storyline. Few chapters but it doesn't affect the quality of this book. Job well done, Author.

The plot is very intriguing . . . like, considering how I'm not a very huge fan of solely-romance books, it really does have that certain charm to it. Or actually, it's not solely-romance. Maybe part of why I found it intersting is because of how there's a certain twist to the character's story-- but still, interesting, yep!
OMG!🥺🥺😭😭😭😭😭 My heart fell when he was describing the elderly lady. How much it must sick to get old. the author for such a good job at portraying that. NOT TO MENTION THE INCIDENT AFTER... if only the king had been nicer maybe that would not have happened keep up the great work ☺️👍
It's beginning to be one of the most exciting books to read. The quality is top-notch with flawless story pace and amazing details. More chapters, please!
Man, I always get so surprised with such high quality writing. The imagery is so vivid, I loved it. I always end up envious and wishing that I had such ability to describe the scenes in such detail. There are a few places here and there where the tense keeps changing but the story development trumps it all. Keep up the good work author, I would love to know more!
That was a good start! Two chapters but the story looks promising and full of potential 🔥 Grammar wise I didn't find any issue and writing was fluid. Waiting for more chapters to see the story unfold 🤗 Good luck author! keep it up❤️❤️
