The imperial garden of China is full of wonders, magic clinging to every surface, waiting to be discovered. Something that has yet to be discovered is the battle thats happening right under the visitors noses. Foreword"The imperial garden beared far more wonders to discover.It may be hard to believe, but it was true - and who would know better than Jongdae?Kim Jongdae, the smooth vocalist of the imperial garden with the twinkling eyes and mischievous quirk to his lips.Kim Jongdae, who could close his eyes and feel  the garden working its wonders."  Hello guys~Here comes a story about magic, set in an alternative version of ancient China (alternative? Well yeah, cause I know basically nothing about ancient China, so bear with me?)This one is heavily inspired by the wonderful book "The Night Circus", though I promise you theres no need to know this novel in order to read this story. Out of all my stories, this one was by far the hardest to write, and its only half-betad, too - if you wanna point out mistakes or share your opinion, feel free to do so c:Much love,Sugar-and-Salt ♥ ♪ This fic was originally written for the chenpionships 2016 ♪
