Gold Cabinet Pulls

Of Flames and Gold

Of Flames and Gold

[My WSA 2024 Entry novel! Please vote] In a world where mythical beings have fallen into an "eternal slumber," a thriving underground market exploits the stolen essence of these dormant creatures. At its epicenter are dragons—majestic beings desired for their scales, organs, and prized eggs. The most coveted treasure of all is a dragon's name, a key that holds the power to control its very existence. Dragon Lord, guardian of a clutch of dormant eggs, lives in isolation atop a hill, surrounded by a forest that veils his castle. He bears the scars of past betrayals, having been deceived by those who feigned love to steal his treasures or claim his head as a bounty. Jaded and cold, he trusts no one, living a solitary existence. However, his solitude is shattered when a woman unwittingly stumbles into his life. Yara finds herself in Dragon Lord's treasured den amidst a battle between the dragon and thieves. In a twist of fate, she mistakenly bonds with the dormant eggs, breathing life into them. Reluctantly, Dragon Lord allows Yara into his world, and their journey unfolds amid the looming threat of underground organizations seeking to exploit the dragons for profit. As the eggs come to life, so does an unexpected connection between Dragon Lord and Yara. Despite his cold and jaded exterior, he finds himself unable to ignore her presence. Yara, too, cannot deny the pull she feels towards him, and emotions begin to burn beneath the surface. Together, they must navigate the challenges of waiting for the eggs to hatch, fend off those who seek to exploit the dragon and its offspring, and confront the secrets that Yara harbors—a revelation that could destroy everything. In this tale of flames and gold, two scarred souls in a world where trust is a rare and precious commodity must confront the ghosts of their pasts. They navigate the dangerous currents of love and deception, protecting unborn dragons from a world hungry for their magic. Will their bond withstand the trials ahead, or will the flames of betrayal engulf them in the end? A/N: It starts out SLOW, because I tend to get lost in the pages and be descriptive but once it gets to the action, it really picks up! Looking forward to growing with you all on this journey!!!

Cabinet and Prime Minister

There were some differences between the cabinet system and the prime minister system in terms of status, power, and influence. Under the prime minister system, the prime minister was given the power to make decisions by the system. His position was very stable. It could be said that he was "below one person and above ten thousand people". The cabinet members were only the Yellow Emperor's advisors and had no real power. In addition, under the prime minister system, the prime minister led all officials to pledge loyalty to the emperor, but at the same time, there were certain restrictions on the imperial power, and the cabinet could not have such great authority and influence. However, the prime minister system and the cabinet system were both loyal to governing the country and were controlled by the emperor. They were basically there to assist the emperor in managing state affairs.

After Yan Song, the chief of the cabinet was Xu Jie. Xu Jie succeeded the cabinet chief after the fall of Yan Song and held this position until the death of Emperor Jiajing. When Xu Jie was the chief assistant of the cabinet, he had drafted the posthumous edict of Emperor Jiajing together with Zhang Juzheng, helping the officials who had been wrongly sentenced to restore their original positions, and distributing the fields occupied by King Jing to the people for cultivation, so he was praised by the people. However, in his later years, Xu Jie indulged his children in robbing the people's fields and covered up their illegal acts, causing him to gradually lose the hearts of the people. Xu Jie did not receive the praise of the people after his death because his actions in his later years lost the support of the people.
