Summary
Fang Runin is a a 21 year old war-orphan who'd never been able to escape the grasp of her foster mother. In this world, Yin Vaisra had decisively conquered the Nikan Empire years before the events of the novels, establishing a monarchy with him at the helm. After Emperor Vaisra prevented women from attending Sinegard, Rin was left with no choice but to look for another way to escape arranged marriage at the age of 14.
Finding her savior in Tutor Feyrik, she'd been able to make a name for herself as a fighter and to keep her foster mother happy (and rich) enough to keep Rin around.
But everything is about to change as Emperor Vaisra announces The Selection for his now heir to the throne, Yin Nezha. It's an opportunity for women to compete for the prince's hand from across the empire, but Rin vehemently opposes the whole idea.
As fate would have it, she gets thrown into that same world she tried to avoid, her days now filled with civil unrest, secrecy, a strange growing power, and growing feelings for a certain infuriating prince.

Summary
Nezha hates second place. He grew up in second place behind his brother, but Sinegard Academy was supposed to be different. It was supposed to be his chance to prove he is the best. So when he gets second place behind Rin (of all people) in the First Year Combat Tournament, he realizes he has to do something drastic to earn first place: train with the only person who can beat him.
A Poppy War re-write, but I forced Rin and Nezha to be friends in Sinegard.

Summary
"He’s beginning to forget the sound of her voice.
It hasn’t even been that long since that day on Speer—a year or two, perhaps—but the details are already fading. Were her eyebrows straight or slightly curved? Did he imagine that mole on the back of her neck? What colour were her eyes at the end, before the light went out of them forever?
He’s terrified of forgetting. He’s terrified of waking up one day and being unable to recall the sound of her laugh.
He came to the Red Cliffs to make sure that day never comes."
Or, a post-canon AU where Nezha throws himself off a cliff, and wakes up in a world he had always longed for.
