erosfeministretellinggreekgreekmythologygreekmythspsychepsycheanderosretelling
A short feminist retelling of the Greek myth of Psyche and Eros. 

I wrote this story for my dissertation in my third year of a Creative and Professional Writing course. It's finally been marked and I couldn't wait to share it with you guys - I had so much fun writing it (for the most part) ! My (maybe controversial) thought process was that in writing from Psyche's point of view it makes the piece intrinsically feminist.

If anyone has any thoughts about how I could continue or rewrite this please feel free to comment or message, I'm really open to any ideas!

Enjoy, and let me know what you think:)

I sat on my wedding bed, having just gotten married for the second time. But what made it unusual was that it was with the same person - my Yuvraj. Just then, I heard the chamber door close, and I felt a sudden surge of fear. Why was I scared? I had loved this man since my mother told me about our marriage. Yuvraj's first words caught me off guard: "Kya naam hai apka?" His voice was rugged and soothing. But why was he asking me my name? Didn't he already know it? He pulled my ghughat and asked, "Kya gungi hain aap?" I said "nahi toh" He replied, "Toh bataye, kya naam hai apka?" (Then tell me, what's your name?) I smiled and said, "Syesha Raghuvansi." He clicked his tongue, and I met his gaze. I was captivated by his eyes - ham toh lut gye inki ankhein dekh ke, naah jaane aaeena kaise dekhta hoga inhe He asked again, "Yahi naam hai apka?" (Is this really your name?) I remembered my mother calling me by this name the last time. So, I nodded. He replied with authority, "Syesha Daksh Singh Rathore hai aap"

Author: 三只鳄梨 Translator: Me (XiaoBai) 贵妃娘娘宠冠后宫 The legitimate daughter of the Prime Minister's household, Lin Wanyi, is renowned for her beauty and exceptional talents. However, to secure her safety and livelihood, she has always been cautious and discreet in the inner quarters. She originally thought she would marry into a stable family and live a peaceful life, but everything changed the year she received the imperial decree to enter the palace. With her father and brothers being unreliable, her position in the palace was merely that of a low-ranking concubine, leaving her no choice but to rely on her elder sister, the Imperial Consort. Lin Wanyi intended to live a quiet life behind closed doors, but unexpectedly, the cold and aloof Emperor visited her more frequently than anyone else! Outsiders believed that Lin Wanyi was favored for her charms, but they didn't know that the strong and reserved young Emperor was captivated by her at first sight...

But what happens if the very man she's betrothed to is the only one who can help her get out? Calan Haverston, the Lord of Easton, takes the risk and helps his betrothed by using his knowledge of the Town's secrets because he is as willing as she to stay free of marriage for reasons completely different.

And what happens when he finds himself longing for her? Cressida goes to a completely different place, one she has only heard in stories and read in books, with hopes of finding what her heart has always longed for. But love, mystery and secrets will chase her and it will only be a matter of time before she realizes what her heart truly desires. *This story is a standalone title in the Haverston Family series.
