Shackles
When warriors from hostile neighbouring nations kidnap the Empress Dowager, a man from her past, Captain Li Wai, is dispatched to save her. Battling both enemies from within the palace and outside, the journey back to the Forbidden City is fraught with danger. But perhaps the biggest danger comes from the Empress Dowager herself, for she hides a soulmate tattoo that will kill her if her heart ever strays. Her spirit is indomitable, her will is undefeatable, but her heart isn't as impervious to love as she thinks it is. As her long-lost feelings for Captain Li Wai are uncovered, she must make the cruellest decision.
Will she choose her people or will she choose herself? Love or death?

Romance Uncliched!
Hopeless romantic Yu Junming is over the moon when he lands a job at the RomCon startup as a ConCoct agent. From meet-cutes to ultimate airport runs, he must re-enact surreal romantic scenes to fit a client’s dreams. Sadly, he botches his assignments and learns the hard way that romance needs a dash of practicality.
Despite his track record, he’s soon tasked to help his boss, Grayson Black - a die-hard cynic who dislikes him at first sight - to find love. Through disastrous dates, the two men grow closer and realize there’s more to each other than meets the eye.
Junming fantasizes about seeing even more of Grayson but he also finds himself drawn to Fernanda, a spunky and eccentric undercover reporter who masquerades as a RomCon client. When Fernanda unexpectedly ends up heartbroken after an awful date, she falls for Junming. Pitiably ignorant of her mission to dig up dirt on RomCon, Junming is stuck between two people and a hard place called reality.
