A witty, playful, intriguing and ultimately very moving novel of identity and loss. 'Stories are the only thing that defy death. Stories are truth. I hereby give you mine...' Peking, 1944: Sir Edmund Backhouse is a man of many parts. A polyglot scholar. An effete homosexual. A genius of perversity, a forger, arms salesman, occasional spy and fantasist. Also, if he is to be believed, the onetime lover of the redoubtable Empress Dowager of China, a woman many decades his senior. In his declining years, tended by his friend, Dr Hoeppli, he writes his memoir - 'a wild tale', as he calls it, 'far-fetched and fantastical'- of his affair with the Dowager Empress. Beijing, 2014: Linnie is an Australian woman of uncertain provenance struggling to make a living in Beijing. A Sinophile, a translator of film subtitles, the author of an unpublished novel about Backhouse called the Empress Lover. One day, she receives an intriguingly old-fashioned and formal invitation from a Professor H, an invitation that promises to reveal long hidden secrets of her family... And so two worlds collide. An enchantingly slippery, sinuous, playful - and ultimately very moving - novel of love, loss, identity and history from one of Australia's finest novelists. 'Jaivin's writing shines and burns.' Sunday Age 'the Empress Lover is a fascinating work, infused as it is with China's history, Jaivin's experience of it, and her own capacious imagination. Surely this is the novel to gain her a reputation as one of Australia's best and most versatile writers.' Sydney Morning Herald 'A supple and intricate piece of storytelling ... a touching,inventive and gratifyingly unpredictable novel.' the Australian

After the first court Catherine II sent him as a simple monk to the monastery situated near Arkhangelsk. Then he was brought to justice as a political criminal (“who should be excruciated and killed”) and the czarina ordered to immure him in the casemates of Revel fortress.

The thrilling sequel to S.J. Kincaid’s New York Times bestselling novel, The Diabolic, which TeenVogue.com called “the perfect kind of high-pressure adventure.” It’s a new day in the Empire. Tyrus has ascended to the throne with Nemesis by his side and now they can find a new way forward—one where they don’t have to hide or scheme or kill. One where creatures like Nemesis will be given worth and recognition, where science and information can be shared with everyone and not just the elite. But having power isn’t the same thing as keeping it, and change isn’t always welcome. The ruling class, the Grandiloquy, has held control over planets and systems for centuries—and they are plotting to stop this teenage Emperor and Nemesis, who is considered nothing more than a creature and certainly not worthy of being Empress. Nemesis will protect Tyrus at any cost. He is the love of her life, and they are partners in this new beginning. But she cannot protect him by being the killing machine she once was. She will have to prove the humanity that she’s found inside herself to the whole Empire—or she and Tyrus may lose more than just the throne. But if proving her humanity means that she and Tyrus must do inhuman things, is the fight worth the cost of winning it?

Category Fiction > GL (Girls' Love) Fiction > Short Story Fiction > Korean Fiction (Web Novel) Summary A small girl with a talent for magic from a small country has become Empress. One of the duties of the handmaidens who serve her is to heat up the Empress's body before she takes a man into her bed, so that she can enjoy greater pleasure. One of the most favored of the maids, and she truly loves the Empress, but for some reason, the Empress doesn't call her in the bedchamber lately. Until one day, she is summoned to the Empress's bedchamber. She's been trained in all sorts of skills to prepare the Empress's body for a great pleasure. An one-act play of tantrums and heat. #western #courtAndNobles #hardcore #king/noble * This short story of GL(Girls' Love) is translated from from the original Korean short web-novel. (text only, no illustration) Tables Of Contents Title Page Body Content Copyright (36 pages in approx. print length) Preview The handmaiden wrinkles her skirt in pain as she watches her Majesty become a woman, crying out in pleasure. "My dear, isn't your work done here?" Hmph, the maid turns her head, her lips press together in a momentary scream. Peering at her through the crack in the door is the head maid, Susan. Even if she is called the head maid, the name of the imperial head maid is enough to make most nobles cringe. The sight of her neat brown hair and bright brown eyes makes the maid jump to her feet. The head maid sees the open door and hears the groan, and as if she understands the situation, she quietly closes the door behind her. Even her actions are graceful and serene, like the flow of water. After closing the door firmly with her slender fingers, she turns to the maid. "Follow me." The maid, more than a little miffed, lowers her eyes and follows her. *** The maid sighed softly as she cleaned up as her punishment. It had been over a month since she had seen the Empress's face. In that time, several men had entered her chamber. It was her job to arouse the Empress's body before she bedded a man. She did many other things, but that was her favorite. To kiss and lick the soft flesh, to bask in the glory of the battle scars. There were many who did this, but the Empress had grown quite fond of this handmaiden. She never told her, and it's doubtful she even remembered her, but she let her in more often than the others. This was probably because she had a keen eye for the Empress's moods and tastes. She loved it when she could make the Empress's body aroused. She never went all the way each time, so she never performed, but she was always eager to learn these skills. She was always the favored partner among those in the same training. Even those who had met and married men and moved on to other departments sometimes came to her room.

For Lili Dehn, who came to the last Russian Imperial Court as a young girl and who was destined to become one of the star-crossed Empress Alexandra's closest and most devoted confidantes, it was love at first sight: At last, advancing slowly through masses of greenery, came a tall and slender figure. It was the Empress. I looked at her, admiration in my heart and in my eyes. I had never imagined her to be half so fair and I shall never forget her beauty as I saw her on that July morning, although the Empress of many sorrows remains with me more as a moving and holy memory. She was dressed entirely in white, with a thin white veil draped round her hat. Her complexion was delicate, but when she was excited her cheeks were suffused with a faint rose flush. Her hair was reddish-gold, her eyes - those infinitely tragic eyes - were dark blue, and her figure was as supple as a willow wand. I remember that her pearls were magnificent and that diamond earrings flashed colored fires whenever she moved her head. She wore a simple little ring bearing the emblem of the Swastika, her favorite symbol - one that has given rise to so many conjectures and been quoted triumphantly as proof positive of her leanings toward the occult by those who are ignorant of what it really meant to her. On her escape to England after the Russian Revolution and after the execution of the Imperial Family, Lili became determined to tell the truth about Tsar Nicholas II and Empress Alexandra as she had known them over many years. To her certain knowledge, they had been among the kindest, the most decent and the most considerate of people imaginable, surrounded by a loving and devoted family. Those who said otherwise hadn't known them and had been systematically deceived by false rumors and relentless anti-Tsarist propaganda. It was time to set the record straight.
