I stop, putting my hands on my hips. "Are you going to order all of them?" "If I want to, yes, I will." He doesn't budge. I sigh, sitting next to him. "You know that you don't have to do this. I can go buy my own dresses." "I know, but I want to see you wear dresses that I chose. Besides, is it so wrong to want to spend time with you?" ______ Note: This is entirely my work. I want to see if I'm able to write something without a plot set up for me. I hope you like it!

Heroes. Ever since they showed up, people have gone soft. They're adored, worshipped. Devotion is showered upon them like rain. It's about time someone knocks them off that pedestal they stand on, someone to crush their pillars of faith. Someone like me. A villain. It's perfect. I'll be the undoing of heroes. ≠ disclaimer: very much needs to be edited, very much needs to be less corny and very much needs to be entirely rewritten by me. if you approach it as a goofy, corny, old 2015-esque superhero book then it'll be a great time. i'll be honest and say there are no pulitzers here. completed ✓ highest rank in sf: #9 cover: @narwhelly

This novel can be categorized as "he falls first and he falls harder" . . "Did you really think that after all that you've done to me, I would simply let you go, Rosalie? You might as well go to the Devil himself because otherwise, I will definitely find you. No matter what." One day, Wang Meiling, an ordinary office worker who likes to read romance fantasy books, wakes up in the body of Rosalie Ashter, a minor villainess in the R-rated fantasy novel that she was reading before this weird transmigration. As expected of the plot, Rosalie is supposed to die at the hands of her crazy and abusive brother Raphael, thus, armed with the detailed knowledge of the original story, Meiling is set to save the tragic villainess whose body she is now possessing and approaches Duke Damien Dio, the story's male lead who is suffering from the "Acme fever" curse. She offers him a one-year contract relationship, promising to help him relieve his suffering in exchange for his protection from the Ashter family and a hefty payment afterward. Although skeptical at first, Damien agrees to sign the contract, but when the time finally comes for Rosalie to leave the Duke, she realizes that ending their relationship might not be as easy as she thought.

Moriana Allisson. A female side character who loves to befriend and follow the heroine wherever she goes enough to die for her sake. She simply took the sword in the heroine's stead. "If meeting death is the only way to be your friend, then I swear eternal friendship with you." After re-reading the novel for the 21st time, I realized that I only took her role for granted and got too focused with the romantic scenes. When I read her line, I was touched. No one in my life would be that desperate to be my friend. After that one moment, I cried my heart out all night and drifted off to sleep. .. I know that I pitied Moriana and wished that if I were her, I would live her life differently. But.. Why!? Why do I have to experience it literally!? "Anna, where are you going? Are you abandoning me?" Suddenly, the second male lead who's supposed to be obsessed with the female lead began calling me in my nickname. "Just say the word and I'll kill him." The heroine's knight suddenly appears!? Ughh.. I'm tired with all of this. "Just stay by my side and you'll have nothing to worry about." What's with the male lead? I thought he fell in love with the heroine at first sight.. Hahh..The original plot is starting to crumble.

And yet, why couldn't he get his mind off of the bright violet eyes of a particular little lady who randomly entered his life one day? Why was there a fuzzy feeling in his chest at a mere glimpse of her? Why did it feel like his entire world was collapsing with only a single tear running down her cheek? Where were all these feelings coming from? Unfamiliar feelings that he had not once ever felt before in his entire life. Little did he know that those were the feelings of a king who finally found his queen, one who he would lay his entire empire down to stay by her side. **Completed**

Being reborn as a witch should have been awesome maybe, if it wasn't for the fact that I was reborn as Bonnie Bennett, the most judgmental, sacrificial character who basically gave up literally EVERYTHING for people who didn't deserve it and treated her like she was a commodity. However, I am not going to do that, I am not her. I won't be bossed around. I won't be used by anyone. I DO NOT OWN THE TVD UNIVERSE. I DO HOWEVER OWN THE RANDOM PLOT TWISTS OR PLOT HOLES THAT MAY OR MAY NOT APPEAR. SHE IS NOT TVD BONNIE, her character and personality WILL BE DIFFERENT.
