“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

#My Sister’s Constitution is a Mystery#

Can love destroy you? What about your friendship? Can you love the wrong person? How do you love someone in the right way?

For Levi, his first love came to him like a bullet-train. Fast and relentlessly bringing him to places he never knew he could walk on.

Putting everything on the line, must he choose to do the right thing? What is the right thing anyway?

Struggling to understand who she has become, Mina must navigate a world of nobles, magic, and monsters, uncovering secrets that pull her deeper into a life she never asked for.

Now wounded and on the run, Elishia must navigate a world of shifting loyalties, buried secrets, and the blurry line between captor and protector. Can she survive long enough to reclaim her freedom? Or is she already entangled in something far more dangerous?

I woke up with no memory at all.
“…”
But this man was always beside me. Somehow he could find me anywhere I would go.
“… who are you?”
“I’m your husband”
“…”
So I did what every sane person would do in my place as they confronted an unexpected situation.

I ran away.

“You can’t run around with no memory at all. You need me.”
“Bullshit.”

So I ran away again.

…but why are all those people after me?? Why do they want me dead?!

“Catch the demon! She’s going to kill us all!”
“What? What demon?”

And why is everyone chasing me now?? Starting with the Holy Order, The Royal Knights and even that Immortal Head Mage from that Tower who wants to die??

“Finally, I found you”
“F*ck off, she’s my wife.”
“…”

….Where did you learn to curse like that??

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.

In the depths of grief, memories surface—of a girl in a novel who looks just like her. The same name, the same pain, the same fate. As the line between reality and fiction begins to blur, Lana faces a haunting question: Is this just a nightmare… or the beginning of another world?

In a kingdom where beauty rules and mirrors never lie-Queen Zailah has only ever trusted one thing: her reflection.

When a defeated rival offers her a mysterious enchanted mirror, Zailah sees more than a gift-she sees a god-like vision of herself. Beautiful beyond mortal bounds, the mirror becomes her obsession. But as her throne gleams with power, unrest brews in the shadows.

Callista, the queen’s loyal chambermaid, is torn between duty and love when her forbidden lover begs her to steal the mirror in exchange for a chance at freedom. What begins as a desperate theft ignites a chain of betrayal, unmasking ambition, deception, and a curse foretold by the stars.

As illusions shatter and truths claw their way to the surface, the queen spirals into madness, and the price of perfection demands blood. In a world where beauty is power and mirrors never forget-how long can anyone hold onto the face they desire?

Perfect for fans of twisted fairytales and dark mythology, Mirror Mirror is a tale of vanity, vengeance, and the terrifying cost of seeing yourself too clearly.

After being banished with nothing but the clothes on her back from the convent she grew up in, Helena finds a job in an eerie mansion with strange rules that bind her there indefinitely. Still haunted by the ghosts of her past and the scars of trauma, she clings to routine, asking for nothing more than a place to survive the winter.

But the mansion is far from ordinary. Despite the servants’ kindness, something about it feels like a coffin frozen in time. Screams echo through the night. The scent of blood lingers in the halls. The lord of the house keeps to himself behind locked doors. But when he appears, drawn by the sound of her piano, he looks at her with something deeper than curiosity. Hunger.

As Helena spends her days dawdling in the library, tracing melodies on the old piano, she feels the walls watching her like a beast ready to pounce.

Yet Helena doesn’t fear the man they call a monster, or even the threat of being swallowed whole by darkness—what she fears is the awakening of something she’s been trying to bury away before it takes the little peace and freedom she has found.
