Rosmei's synopses for The Creator's Grace and At the World's Mercy

[aurumcalendula]

I just saw that Rosmei has finally posted synopses for their translations.

The Creator's Grace:

She came home for the truth. What she found was the woman who took everything… and wanted her most of all.

Six years ago, Ran Jin rose to power and prominence under the wing of her lover—only to be accused of orchestrating that woman’s mysterious death. Now, her late lover’s sister, Chi Yu, returns from abroad to reclaim what was stolen and uncover the truth.

But Ran isn’t the cold-blooded traitor she seems. She’s brilliant, enigmatic, and as devoted to Chi as can be.

What starts as a personal pursuit of justice spirals into obsession, as Chi unearths traces of a truth stranger than fiction—one that challenges not only the story she’s been told but even humanity itself. The deeper she digs, the more she risks for a love that feels inevitable, even if it was never meant to exist.

The Creator’s Grace is a gripping sci-fi romance about fractured identities and impossible salvation, where love may be the only truth that holds.

At the World's Mercy:

In a court of secrets, loyalty is currency—and love is the most dangerous gamble of all.

In the sprawling realm of Great Yu, power has only recently been placed in the hands of women. Generals lead armies, ministers shape dynasties, and alliances are forged as easily in the bedchamber as on the battlefield.

General Zhen Wenjun and Chief Minister Wei Tingxu appear to be the perfect couple—two brilliant women bound by marriage and ambition. But beneath the surface of silk and ceremony lies a deadly game of masks and motives. Trust is a weapon. Affection is a risk. And neither woman is exactly who she claims to be.

As rival factions stir unrest and the imperial court teeters on the edge of transformation, Zhen and Wei must navigate the shifting sands of betrayal, duty, and desire. In a world where power is never given—only taken—can love survive when everything else is strategy?

At the World’s Mercy is a masterful work of baihe historical fiction, weaving espionage, slow-burn romance, and political ambition into a tale as elegant as it is ruthless.

These both sound appealing! I hope Rosmei's Canadian distributor picks these up as well.

Hopefully they will!

Finally, after more than one year, the promised summaries materialise! I'm not sure why these couldn't have been done within the space of a day, max.

Not a fan of the way it's using surnames as names after the first full name mention. Very confusing, especially for The Creator's Grace, where there are at least two prominent women named Chi. Highlight for spoilers! *And, eventually, more than one woman named Ran*

I'm glad but tbh a bit surprised they actually materialized!

Same here, re: names. Like, I'm not sure if it's supposed to ambiguous in The Creator's Grace's summary which Chi sister is being referred to the first time the surname by itself is used? Personally, I think either sticking with full names or going with personal names or title plus surname would've made more sense for the second mentions.
