Verdant Lore

We are a translated novel publisher based in Hong Kong. Originally founded by a group of novel enthusiasts with the goal of bringing enjoyable novels from other cultures to the English community, we have since transitioned to a more local approach.

By 'going global locally', we collaborate with local Hong Kong authors, translators, and artists to promote their works for the world to appreciate. It is our goal to preserve local culture and encourage authors to be creative with their works by helping them reach more audiences.

Our works are authorised and exclusively published by Verdant Lore unless specified.

Chapter 046—Barging into Royalty - By Verdant Lore

The sweet taste of hopes & dreams, love and youth. Utterly shattered by lies, confusion, and betrayal. Crushed by the harsh side of reality.

Venture out into the world of timeless thoughts about everyday life, where you will face challenged morals with a hint of fantasy and a touch of originality, and be enlightened with dark twists and analogies. Swim through multiple epiphanies and despair of every protagonist in different chapters, and you’ll find yourself immersed in their stories, sinking deeper and deeper into each individual’s intricate psychological inner world.

Prepared to be entertained… or questioned…
