“I’m terribly sorry my champagne found your face so magnetic, Captain.”

Theodore Ashford does not get angry. No — he smiles. Slow. Amused. Dangerous.

“No apology necessary, Lady Cruelton. In fact, I insist you join us for dinner next week. I find you… fascinating.”

—

Beatrice Whitmore died once already.

She wakes up inside a 1940s romance novel — not as the heroine, but as the infamous purple-haired villainess destined for scandal, disgrace, and an early grave. Everyone hates Lady Cruelton.

Which is perfect.

Because survival comes with rules.

A mysterious System rewards her with Hatred Points for humiliation, social ruin, and expertly executed cruelty. The more she’s despised, the longer she lives. Reform is fatal. Kindness is suicide.

Being terrible should be easy.

Until Captain Theodore Ashford — decorated war hero, heir to an estate as vast as his ego — refuses to despise her. Immune to her schemes, unfazed by her insults, he watches her with knowing amusement… as if he sees through every calculated performance.

Faking her death was supposed to secure her escape from the plot.

Instead, his attention drags her deeper into it.

Now Beatrice must outmaneuver gossip, rewrite a story determined to destroy her, and earn enough Hatred Points to survive — without falling for the only man who doesn’t hate her.

Because in a world where love is the true death sentence for a villainess…

Cruelty might be her only way out

For seven years, Lily Carter believed that devotion could create love.

She married Ethan Carter knowing his heart once belonged to someone else. She endured the whispers, the comparisons, the subtle humiliations. She learned his habits, cared for his home, and played the role of the perfect wife.

But when Daisy Whitmore—the brilliant, beautiful “white moonlight” of Ethan’s past—returns to the country, Lily realizes a painful truth.

Some first loves never fade.

And some wives were only ever meant to keep the seat warm.

As old feelings resurface and buried emotions awaken, Lily must decide: continue fighting for a heart that was never hers… or finally choose herself.

One day an illegitimate princess Harlynn found a little dragon who’s mother was under a curse. Little Harlynn took on a grand goal of saving the mother, but this naive goal has changed her future for better or for worse?

Qin Jiu transmigrated into a switched-at-birth novel.

She became the first daughter of a marquis’ household. She was swapped out maliciously at a young age and raised in the countryside.

The fake young mistress female lead was a rebirthed girl. The pearl of the capital, and the future wife of the second prince.

In the original novel, Qin Jiu had been jealous of the female lead and kept going against her, trying in vain to frame her. Unaware of her lacking capabilities, she even tried to steal the male lead from her. Eventually, everyone turned their backs against Qin Jiu and she was killed by an arrow to the heart.

After reviewing the plot, Qin Jiu tore up the script–She doesn’t want to be this villainess cannon fodder! Then in the next moment, she jumped into the arms of Regent Gu Zezhi.

Qin Jiu, “Sob sob sob…golden thighs!”

Gu Zezhi, “I’ll let you hug them.”

The regent of the dynasty had a fierce reputation of great power and heartless killings. Many people hated him, feared him, and wanted him dead. Then, one day, someone saw the infamously fierce regent holding a little girl in his arms with a pampering expression. Gu Zezhi kissed her hair and spoke in a gentle voice.

“You can get rid of anyone you want. I’m here.”

She married in her legitimate elder sister’s place and spent ten years without a single regret, only to have her family fortune seized and meet a tragic death at the hands of a scum male.

Reborn for a second life, she vows to tear off the hypocritical masks of her elder sister and stepmother, beat down the black-hearted concubines, trample those so-called “pure white lotuses”, and hug her vast fortune as she sleeps, laughing herself awake!

Yet on her road to amassing wealth, there’s always that unreliable imperial uncle hovering in front of her eyes, pestering her with, “I want a kiss, I want a hug…”

She rolls her eyes, “Get lost.”

“One kiss for ten thousand gold taels.”

She instantly turns around, “Deal.”

Rielle Hart never wanted love.
She never wanted fate.
She only wanted to survive.

A nameless orphan with no dreams beyond warm meals and a roof over her head, Rielle becomes a palace maid in the royal court of Aveloria—where ambition is punished, and curiosity can be fatal.

Her rule is simple:

Never stand out. Never be noticed. Never look at the Crown Prince.

Then, on her very first night, she drops a lantern at his feet.

The silver-eyed Crown Prince—cold, untouchable, and rumored to be cursed—should have punished her on the spot.

Instead, he laughs.

From that moment on, the palace begins to shift.

Assignments change.
Glances linger.
And the Crown Prince, who has rejected every noblewoman placed before him, starts paying attention to a maid who wants nothing from him.

At first, Rielle believes it’s a mistake.
Then a coincidence.
Then a threat.

Because in the palace, being seen is more dangerous than being hated.

She doesn’t know why the Crown Prince watches her.
She doesn’t know what he wants from her.
And she certainly doesn’t know what fate is quietly rewriting behind her back.

All she knows is this—

She never asked to be chosen.

And yet, of all people, he chose her.

A slow-burn romantic fantasy about survival, power, and a girl who wanted only peace—until the Crown Prince made her the center of his world.

Getting a job is only the first step to misery.

Adulthood is a never-ending pit, one hole after the other waiting for you to jump into.

Let us corporate workers commiserate together.

Some secrets are meant to stay buried. Hers destroyed everything.

Sela thought she knew her family… until she discovered she didn’t belong.

By fifteen, living in Korea as Seol Ah, she’s learned that trust is dangerous, and love even more so. Her mother hides truths she can’t explain, and every day feels heavier than the last.

Then there’s Jin-ho, a boy who sees her, really sees her, in ways no one else does.

But danger is closing in. A ruthless gang. Family caught in the crossfire. And a truth that could ruin them all.

Some pasts aren’t just painful… they’re deadly.

Betrayed by the man she loved and bound to a crown that no longer holds meaning, an empress chooses freedom over titles—only to discover that even love forsaken can rise again from ruin.

“Even the moon can rise again after being eclipsed by the sun.”
“He was of the empire. She became the moon that outshone him.”

Bound by duty. Betrayed by love. Reborn by choice.

Elisana Laurel De Claire, daughter of a grand ducal house, was destined to be Empress – and for a time, she believed in the fairytale. Betrothed since childhood to her dearest friend, Crown Prince Marcus, their union was meant to bring peace and glory to the Salastian Empire.

But love fades beneath the weight of power. When another woman captures the Emperor’s heart, Elisana’s world shatters. Neglected, accused, and stripped of affection, she makes a choice no one expects – she walks away from the crown.

Years later, when rebellion threatens the empire, fate brings them together once more. This time, Marcus must face the woman he once forsook – not as his Empress, but as his equal.

Amid courtly intrigue, forgiveness, and the fragile bloom of second chances, The Forsaken Empress tells a story of heartbreak and healing – where even the moon can rise again after the darkest night.

After her father was framed for poisoning the Prime Minister’s son to death, Ning Qingyu was hit on the back of the head by the “officers” who came to arrest their family.

Later, she married the comatose Marquis of Zhenbei, whose birth charts matched hers perfectly.

A halfwit thus ended up marrying a comatose guy.

Xiao Yu seemed to hear someone calling him from the darkness. That voice was saying: “If you want to live, hold on until I can make the antidote.”

The world was no longer as peaceful as it had once been. Monsters roamed everywhere, hunter schools had replaced traditional classes, and dungeon portals were popping up at random!

“Alright, everyone,” chirped Professor Grish.

“Your mission is to clear all the dungeon floors. Train hard! Grow strong! And when you finally reach the top floor…” She paused dramatically.

The class fell silent as she pointed at a hologram. An SSS-Class Abomination known as Leviathan appeared.

Lev gulped. That’s……him.

Long ago, a witch’s love made the empire flourish—yet her betrayal gave birth to a curse. Burned at the stake by the man she trusted, she vowed his descendants would never escape her wrath.

But when whispers of the Grand Duke’s household reach her, fate begins to stir once more. Drawn into the shadow of a bloodline bound by the witch’s curse, Aveline must choose between survival, truth, and a destiny written long before her birth.
