Disguised As A Man, I Bent The Imperial Court


Book Description

Recently, something strange happened in the capital. The heir of the Puyang family, who had been disguising herself as a man, passed away, but a month later, she crawled out of her own grave. After waking up, she flirted with countless people, drifting through a sea of admirers without getting caught. But then the scene shifted... A certain prince discovered her true identity as a woman. "You want to kill me?" The poor Puyang Nan hadn't even had a chance to throw her hidden weapon before her wrist was seized by the prince, who had been pretending to be a sheep while actually being a tiger, pinning her against the door. Later, Xie Yan finally understood he hadn’t "bent," it was simply that the person he liked from the beginning was a girl. But this little girl was constantly causing him trouble. Even during a military expedition, she dared to play tricks like the "empty city" strategy, almost losing her life in the process... This time, she truly angered the regent prince. He decided to drop his façade entirely and simply carried her back to the royal mansion and into the bridal chamber. "Xie Yan, you bastard!" The scolded man chuckled softly, "There are worse things to come..."




The Bent Nail


Book Description

Christians are confronted constantly with references about "a certain place" or "a certain time". The object of The Bent Nail is to weave a narrative that connects these times, places and characters, and breathes coherence and timeliness into them. The novel also aims to bring to life obscure references in the bible, giving the reader a clearer understanding of events depicted in the Bible's narratives AND to expand the blame for Jesus' crucifixion beyond Pontius Pilate-to temple priests led by high priests Caiaphas ana Annas and Galilee tetrarch, Herod Antipas.
