Never mind enemies-to-lovers for now. Rivals-to-lovers is my new obsession. I'm writing this trope in my Chinese fantasy now, with a female imperial assassin and an imperial demon-slayer, and I'm practically frothing at the mouth over the romantic tension 😌😌

A quick mini introduction since I haven't really done one:

Hi, I'm Joyce👋 I write romantic fantasy. My current obsession is historical C-dramas with slow-burn romance, which is a trope often featured in my books. I'm a financial content specialist by day and novelist by night, currently unagented.

I'm usually pretty hesitant about sharing my WIPs, but this time I want to document and share my process of writing this series, so...

announcing my current WIP, a Chinese historical fantasy with assassin/demonologist rivals-to-lovers, shape-shifters, a long-lost princess & a brewing rebellion! /1

What are some of your favorite tropes in romance and fantasy? I personally love enemies-to-lovers, friends-to-lovers, found family, forced proximity, and he falls first and he falls harder 😌

These characters are from my Chinese fantasy, Land of Sand and Song btw 👇

With LibGen and the slew of Studio Ghibli AI-filtered photos flooding my feeds these few weeks, I just want to say how glad I am for the writers, artists, and creators who continue to dream and create and share their art with everyone in a world that continues to commodify and devalue it.

This one truly took so long to paint ;_; I've always loved paintings with lots of tiny hidden details but couldn't work on those very often because of my hand injury. But I decided to really indulge this time.
