A Promise For Liu Fen (Chinese Gl, Yuri, lesbian, Lgbt, girlxgirl):
Ying Lan is a girl in boy’s clothing; a thief and a survivor, a nobody and a mystery. In the teeming streets of Jiao, she survives by her quick wits and nimble fingers. She has no home, no kin, no past, no memories. Only a fog that clouds her mind and a hunger that drives her on. 
Liu Ping is the daughter of a general, a scion of war and glory. She has everything a girl could want, except the one thing she desires most: her friend, her confidant, her soulmate. She lost her to the flames of rebellion, and with her, a part of her soul. She lingers on, but she does not live. She is a prisoner of her own grief.
Fate brings them together, in a twist of chance and destiny. They face the secrets of the past and fight those who wish to keep them hidden. They find in each other a spark of warmth, a flame of passion. They fight for their lives, their love, their future.

He was attuned to every sound in the forest: the leaves rustling in the wind, the chirping of birds, the babbling of the river below. Then he heard it: a steady trot of hooves coming from up the road.

He peered through the branches, catching sight of a young lad riding a chestnut mare. Recognition struck him; he had crossed paths with this youth yesterday morning at the gates of Jiao city. He made a gesture to his brothers: false alarm.

They watched the youth ride along the road until he reached the river. He dismounted and led the horse to the water. He stroked its mane while it drank its fill. Then he tethered it to a tree; before reaching for his waistband and unfastening a leather flask.

The Hidden Watchers.
