Another Romeo Book 1

All Rights Reserved ©

Summary

“She was meant to serve her princess… not crave her.” Under the silk-draped shadows of the Tang Dynasty, secrets breathe louder than prayers. When her brother Yu Nianzu is branded a traitor and dragged to the Meng Palace, Yu Yanmei abandons her name, her gender, and her peace. Cloaked in steel and silence, she enters the palace disguised as a man—a guard with eyes too still, and a heart too determined to die. But fate has a cruel sense of humor. Her wit and composure catch the attention of the most dangerous woman in the empire: Crown Princess Meng Xiurong. Known for her cold beauty and merciless precision, Xiurong is a woman whose gaze can undress lies. She sees through Yanmei’s disguise instantly. Yet, instead of unmasking her, the princess makes a provocative offer— Yanmei will play the role of her secret lover, to keep away her unwanted fiancé, Crown Prince Li Xiaowen. What begins as deception turns into obsession. In the privacy of jade chambers and moonlit courtyards, the game deepens—touch lingers too long, words are whispered too close, and power trembles between them like a drawn blade. Their love is a forbidden war—soft, sinful, and utterly consuming. To the world, she is the princess’s loyal guard. Behind closed doors, she is her downfall, her defiance, her desire.

Author’s Note & Disclaimer!

Hello Readers! Welcome To the first series of Not Your Romeo!

Another Romeo was born from my love for Chinese historical dramas—the kind filled with silk sleeves, whispered secrets, palace politics, and love that dares to exist where it should not. This story is a tribute to forbidden romance, to women who love boldly in a world that denies them the right, and to the quiet strength it takes to choose the heart over fear.

At its core, this is not just a love story, but a story of identity, sacrifice, and rebellion. Yu Yanmei and Meng Xiurong are two women bound by duty and deception, yet drawn together by something far more dangerous—truth. Their journey is meant to be slow, aching, and emotional, much like the historical romances that linger long after the final scene fades.

Thank you for stepping into this world with me. I hope this story makes you feel—whether that feeling is longing, heartbreak, warmth, or hope. Please take your time, savor each chapter, and don’t be afraid to fall in love with them the way I did.


With love and gratitude,

Fatou❤️💕
