Legend of the White Snake

Prince Xian is on a mission to find a cure for his mother's fatal illness after she's bitten by a venomous white snake. His journey comes with many obstacles, especially when he starts to fall for Zhen, a stable boy, but may be someone - or something - else entirely. Based on Chinese folklore.

Payal Mehta's Romance Revenge Plot
by Preeti Chhibber

Payal Mehta has had a crush on Jonathan Slate for years. When he vomits on her shoes and invites her to Taco Bell as an apology, she's surprised when he offers to set her up with an Indian friend of his: she thought he'd asked her out. Not to be deterred, Payal puts together a plan with her archnemesis Philip Kim.

Try Beauty and the Besharam by Lillie Vale next!


 
Snow Drowned

While they're both used to the horrors of the snow, they don't expect to find a murdered body.

Pairs well with Killer House Party by Lily Anderson.
