The Stunning Undercover Concubine Fiction
The Stunning Undercover Concubine

Words of the Years. Debut novel. Originally titled 'Lotus Veranda,' the title was changed to cater to market trends. Good writing style, weak story structure. Gradually improves over time. Wanted to write an epic story, but ends up circling back to the gentle and graceful Lotus Veranda. Although I wrote the words, I do not recommend reading them. Emphasis on writing style, weak plot. 'Dreams of Western Island' is a painstaking work I have yet to find time to complete. I responsibly say, don't read my online writings, they lack what you desire. A child of the years prefers strong and calm women, compassionate men, poetic and picturesque language, and rapid plot developments—there is no thought-provoking depth to be found. Words should bring a sense of calm reflection or positive energy, open up a new world, and present a unique beauty. In this regard, this work is truly not worth mentioning. It is merely an invitation to meandering through personal years of growth during times of trouble and world-weariness.
