Dearest Princess

Dearest Princess

Fiona pulled Larissa closer and said quietly, "Don't worry, Larissa. I'll call my dad's bodyguards to come now. They won't dare to lay a finger on you!" Larissa patted her on the back and consoled her, "Don't worry, I'll be fine." Two gem cutters began polishing each of the stones. The man who bought the gemstone was the owner of a jewelry business chain. In his decades of experience, he'd rarely make the wrong judgments. In the gemstone betting community, wealth and poverty were always a razor's edge apart. This gemstone was the best of the lot. Aside from the thin stone layer outside, it was filled with bright, beautiful, green opal on the inside.

Stolen Identity: Villainess' Awakening

Stolen Identity: Villainess' Awakening

He is not gazing at me; he is merely passively observing the table. I open the little box in a flash and realize it contains a ring. But it's not any diamond ring, it has a sapphire stone set into the gold portion of the ring's handle. My eyes start to swell up. The sapphire represents a person who is noble, truthful, sincere, and faithful. The gemstone Casimir gave me fits these descriptions, but why? I couldn't care less if he is unaware of my existence. He has avoided me for the previous years as if I’m a plague that he should get rid of. But why this particular gem?

Satisfying the Vicious Boys

Satisfying the Vicious Boys

“Have any other plans? My pockets are too exposed and the gemstone could fall out at any moment, plus, I'm too dressed to shove it into my— “Fine… just give me a second,” I pulled my pants down. Luckily, the gemstone was rather small, about a quarter of a fist. But it was still too large as nothing had ever entered me before through that entrance. My fingers ran through my folds and I realized just how treacherous my body was when I found them wet. I momentarily hated myself. The gemstone slid in easily and it was properly nested when the doors were busted open. Kaden strolled in with Orion beside him, their black masks were stained with blood that wasn't theirs.

ABRAHAM — The Lycan King

Then, just as suddenly, it stopped. “I should punish you for such an insult,” she said softly, looking down at the glowing tip of her staff. “But… never mind. You’re far too special to me, young lady.” I followed her gaze. The gemstone. It sat there, pulsing faintly, bathing her pale hands in shifting light. The gemstone I came for. It had to be the gemstone. I didn’t know why, but every part of me was sure I was right. But how was I supposed to get it? I was trapped here, with no way to slip out and meet June and Zinnia. My chest sank at the thought. Please, let them be safe. Please let them go back to the castle.

My jaw dropped as I looked carefully at the image of the stone. The same stone, encased in my mother's locket, was not just a beautiful gem; it was a legendary artifact with mystical properties. The Arctic stone, described in the book as a legendary gem, possessed mystical properties. It could grant unparalleled power to its possessor, but the condition was as extraordinary as the stone itself – a single drop of essence from every existing supernatural species. The revelation left me breathless, my mind swirling with questions about my mother's possession.

The Dragon's Precious Gem

The Dragon's Precious Gem

"S-Second wife?" Caelia’s voice faltered as she swallowed the pit of nausea rising in her throat. Her heart pounded painfully, as though trying to escape her chest. Surely, she’d misheard. Selene tilted her head slightly, one perfectly arched brow lifting. "Oh? You didn’t know?" she asked, each passing second twisting the knife in Caelia’s chest. "‘Draken’s gem’? Did you truly think a dragon would be satisfied with only one gem? It’s in his nature…”

Steel Soul Online

Steel Soul Online

The more energy stored, the more heat it produces. [Low reactive jade]: A green gem that can't store energy, but can transmit it with high efficiency. If it overloads, it will violently explode. [Low reactive onyx]: A black gem that can store low amounts of energy. If it overloads, it will release an ink-like substance. [Reactive sapphire]: A Blue gem that can store moderate amounts of energy, and produce cold accordingly. The more energy stored, the lower its temperature. Every one of those gems can be used to make new artifacts or machines. But David was limited by the low level of his Smiths.

Frequently Asked Questions

The heart of 'Unpolished Gem' revolves around Alice Pung's deeply personal memoir, which feels like a love letter to her family and her cultural roots. The main 'characters' aren't fictional—they're real people, with Alice herself at the center, navigating the messy, beautiful collision of Cambodian-Chinese traditions and Western adolescence. Her parents, especially her mother, are towering figures—immigrants who carry the weight of survival, sacrifice, and unspoken expectations. Then there's her grandmother, a force of nature whose sharp tongue and old-world superstitions add both humor and tension. Even Alice's younger siblings pop off the page, their childhood antics contrasting with her own fraught coming-of-age. It's less about plot and more about the raw, aching humanity of these relationships—how they shape her, frustrate her, and ultimately teach her to see herself clearly.

What sticks with me is how Alice paints her mother: a woman who bargains at flea markets like a warrior but crumbles when her daughter starts dating. That duality captures the whole book—laughter and tears tangled together. The 'characters' aren't polished; they're gloriously, painfully real, and that's why their stories linger long after the last page.
