Whispers of a Jaded Love by Liliyana Shadowlyn

The wind isn’t the only thing whispering by the river…

Jiǎo was born into privilege, and into the wrong body. With the new emperor seeking a bride, she knows time is running out. Fleeing a fate worse than death, she runs into the forest, casting away her golden bracelets one by one as an offering to the spirits who promise a path to freedom. Her final gift, offered in a moment of true desperation, an heirloom jade pendant unlocks a strange magic; transforming her into a regal panda. Powerful and masculine at last, Jiǎo no longer feels like a stranger in his own skin. But freedom comes with a price: he can never leave the estate’s grounds again, animated objects and the river spirits his only companions.

Zìsī has spent her life running, from an unloving mother, a cruel husband, and a world that ensured she would never belong. Disguised as a scribe, she ekes out an existence with forged scrolls and stolen offerings. When she stumbles upon the hidden estate and its mysterious beastly host, she finds an unlikely refuge. But temptation brews when she discovers a unique jade pendant. One matching an heirloom described on a noblewoman’s missing poster, with a reward too big to ignore.

Torn between survival and compassion, truth and betrayal, both Jiǎo and Zìsī must face what they’re willing to sacrifice for the chance to live as their true selves. Can love bloom in the shadows of broken pasts and whispered magic, beside a river of spirits?
