Zhulong: Huian is perfect in everything she does. Whether it’s archery, swordsmanship, intellect, beauty - she has mastered it all. One thing she doesn’t have, however, is free will. Betrothed to the heir of the Yao family, she has no choice but to marry the cold, distant, and unfeeling general. Bailong: Vengeance is something Xue Li, the only female general in the Huo empire, yearns for. She lives for the day she can fight the man who killed her family. Her sweet vengeance is just barely in her grasp when a conflicting complication arises.

When her parents arrange a marriage for her to a poor soldier who has nothing to his name and nothing to offer, she isn't that surprised. A woman's job is to marry and have children, so Lihua doesn't expect much from her betrothed. However, her husband-to-be is possibly destined for greater things, and a single dream is all it takes to rise as the Xuanlong.

At the start of the 20th century in China, the Hans were married in an elaborate ceremony before they were even born.

They went on to have nine children and chose colours portrayed in some of their favourite poems as nicknames for them - Red, Cyan, Orange, Yellow, Green, Ginger, Violet, Blue and Rainbow.

Satu, Dua and Tiga have spent their entire kittenhood together on Avenue 1 but their mother, Theodora Tuxedo, toughened from an early life on the streets, is anxious for them to each find their own way in the world, worried they've become too pampered as 'house' cats. The siblings have become...
