[10x times featured] Countless people have suffered tragedy simply for a protagonist to shine and rise as heroes, but are they really heroes if they ruin everyone else's stories for the sake of their own? Ever since Empress Calypso Berenice nearly drowned in a lake, she has been recalling some very strange memories that are not her own. Memories that belong to another life, another time---where she lived as Park Hanbyeol, a thirty-year-old music producer from modern-day South Korea. If that isn't bizarre enough, the proud and dignified empress also discovers that the world she now lives in is nothing but a tragic fiction novel Park Hanbyeol once read and hated with a passion. Calypso, along with all the main characters from the original story appears to have traveled back in time with the memories of the first timeline, but she isn't even one of the main characters---she's merely an unimportant extra; the male lead's wife whom the villain executed without a second thought. Her tragic death wasn't even mentioned in the story, so why on earth has she regressed as well? *** Featured in: @WattpadDarkFantasy @WattpadTimeTravel @WattpadAlternateUniverse @anime @WattpadAsianFantasy @StoriesUndiscovered @WattpadHistoricalRomance @Fantasy @lowfantasy @HistoricalFiction *** WARNING: This story is mature due to the heavy topic such as mental health, trauma, etc, so please read with caution.

I cried myself asleep after reading the ending to the "Rose and its Thorns" only to wake up as a nameless side character that dies before the novel even begins! Rose and its Thorns is popular webnovel about Julia, the female lead who is sold by her evil stepmother as bride candidate of the Rose Empire, the powerful but notorious Empire ruled by Vampires and populated by non human beings. In the end she had her happily ever after with the crown prince of the Empire, but Eclis, the Grand Duke and the second male lead dies with a broken heart. The novel updated nearly every week and I read it as it published for 3 years! ... Only for Eclis to die with no happy ending. My poor Hubby! I don't know how I got here but I'm going to thoroughly enjoy myself in this world and correct this novel to the ending Eclis deserves!

Updated: every few days Born with a terminal illness that eventually stopped her from being able to move at all, it is by the age of sixteen that our protagonist finally passes away due to her illness. However rather than going to afterlife as she planned, our protagonist instead finds herself reborn as a thirteen year old girl, starting her first day as a maid known as Antoinette Silverston. Though this comes as a shock at first Antoinette comes to accept her new life as a maid and indulges in her ability to be able to move around. However things all seem way too familiar to Antoinette. Suspiciously similar... it is then that she realises that she has been reborn as a character from the otome game she used to play, the kingdom of the tyrant prince. What is more she is the maid working in the palace of the very cruel prince in which the game is named after. However, she is only a maid. This isn't like one of those stories where she is reborn as the protagonist or villainess. She's just a nobody, so nothing will happen to her right? The prince is only twelve years old himself and the games story starts when he hits sixteen, so all she has to do is avoid him at all costs and live a peaceful life. Unfortunately for Antoinette, life doesn't seem to want to go to plan for her...

I woke up inside the world of one of the best selling fantasy book series "Deadly Crown." Intrigue, handsome heroes, adventure... sounds great, right? Just one problem: all the named characters except the main hero and villain die, are replaced and their replacements die. Being important in this story is a death sentence, so I plan to move to the middle of nowhere, and avoid the plot! It should be a fool proof plan, so why do the main characters keep dragging me into the story? I promise I'm not important enough to have a name, please leave me alone!

Rei, a former samurai lieutenant is reincarnated into the body of an 8 year old, who happens to be the main villainess in a romance novel for foreign girls. A villainess destined to be executed by her fiancé the crown prince for cruelty towards the heroine of the novel. To avoid being executed she must to make allies among her enemies, get out of the heroine's way, and untangle herself from the poisonous intrigue of court the best she can in the role of a future courtier. However, the vaguely described backdrop said nothing about the conflicts building beyond the heroine's understanding, or that women weren't allowed on the battlefield. I am honestly left speechless. I am very touched and honored by all the attention, by all the sweet, beautiful and fun comments I've received over the last month, it's been truly amazing. To those who already enjoy it, I hope you will continue to do so. To those who decide to pick it up, I hope you have as much fun with it as I did!
