His Breathtaking and Shimmering Light

His Breathtaking and Shimmering Light

After a delirious first night together, Shi Guang found herself waking up to a cruel reality… a breakup initiated by him, ending their relationship! What? Why? How? These were the questions that bugged Shi Guang’s mind in the two years after he left without a trace. Just as she thought that she had finally managed to get over him, Lu Yanchen suddenly appeared before her and before she knew it, she had to get married to this man who had dumped her two years ago?! What? Why? How? These were the questions that Shi Guang were faced with after his mysterious appearance once more. Just what are Young Master Lu’s motives? Why is he always watching out for her even though he was the one that had dumped her? And worst still… What’s with that tsundere attitude of his…?! Translator’s Review: This is a really sweet novel about a couple that just annoys one another in the cutest ways. Lu Yanchen is a descendant of a powerful aristocratic military family. Cold, aloof, genius and sharp, this is a man that has it all – status, smarts and looks. But none of that matters when it comes to affairs involving his silly woman as everything melts away into an encompassing warmth. Purple-Red Beauty is someone that spends a lot of time building the settings of her novels. Earlier on, I too was rather annoyed at some of the things that Lu Yanchen did. But once the story gets on track… everything suddenly seemed even sweeter than before! If any of you have heard of the Japanese manga Itazura na Kiss or have caught any of the many Japanese (Mischievous Kiss), Chinese (It Started With A Kiss) and Korean (Playful Kiss) drama reboots made for it, you will definitely love it! :P

The way it blends religious and mythological elements makes it unique. It takes concepts from various religions and weaves them into a science - fictiony fantasy world.

Well, 'American Gods' by Neil Gaiman can be considered in this regard. It has a unique take on gods and mythology in a modern world, much like 'Lord of Light' plays with religious and mythological concepts. Then there's 'The Last Unicorn' which is a classic standalone fantasy novel with its own charm. It has a beautiful and somewhat melancholy story about a unicorn's quest. And 'The Princess Bride' is not only a great movie but also a really fun standalone fantasy novel with adventure, humor, and a touch of romance.

One characteristic is the unique world - building. In fantasy standalone novels, authors create entire new worlds or reimagine our own in a very different way, like in 'Alice's Adventures in Wonderland'. Another is the presence of magical or supernatural elements, such as wizards in 'The Lord of the Rings'.

A great standalone fantasy novel is 'American Gods' by Neil Gaiman. It's full of mythological figures in a modern American setting, which makes for a really interesting read. Then there's 'The Ocean at the End of the Lane' by the same author. It's a more intimate and somewhat dream - like fantasy. Also, 'Stardust' by Neil Gaiman is a charming standalone that takes the reader on a magical adventure through a wall into another world.

Some great standalone fantasy novels include 'Stardust' by Neil Gaiman. It's a charming story that takes place in a magical realm beyond a wall in an English village. The characters are vivid, like Tristran who goes on a quest to find a fallen star. 'The Ocean at the End of the Lane' by Neil Gaiman as well. It has a dreamy, somewhat eerie quality as it delves into the memories of a man revisiting his childhood and the strange, magical events that took place. 'Redwall' by Brian Jacques is another good one. It's set in an abbey populated by anthropomorphic animals and has a great deal of adventure, battles, and a strong sense of community.
