Princess of Solomon

The Princess of Solomon is a full-length novel by the online author Wuyue Ming (real name Wu Ming), published as a standalone volume by Zhuhai Publishing House in 2009. Set against the backdrop of King Solomon from the Bible and folklore, the story blends time travel, mythology, and fantasy. The protagonist, Sikong Yanruo, is a modern archaeological researcher who is haunted by the same strange dream and begins to experience physical anomalies, prompting her parents to send her off alone to uncover the truth. She gradually discovers that she is the reincarnated only daughter of King Solomon, and that in a past life she died at the hands of her most beloved due to a misunderstanding. To break this fate, she travels back in time three thousand years, becoming entangled in the power struggles of mythological forces such as Satan and Beelzebub, and navigating the historical milieus of ancient Egypt and the Hittite Empire, where she resolves crises through her wits. A subplot concerning the contest between Eastern and Western underworlds for souls forms a dual narrative spanning three thousand years, unfolding around fate and reincarnation, the renegotiation of covenants, and emotional choices, ultimately pointing toward the redemptive proposition that "the ending is also the beginning." The book comprises roughly twenty chapters, written with the brisk pacing and plainspoken style characteristic of early online literature.
