[PUBLISHED UNDER TDP PUBLISHING HOUSE] "I won't get nervous about being inside of a novel. I'm a bad bitch. They should be the ones who should get scared of me." Marie Delos Santos appears to have everything. But her perfect world suddenly collapsed when she found out that her boyfriend of three years had cheated on her with her best friend. After knowing this horrible truth, she found herself aimlessly walking on the streets, and a mysterious old woman suddenly offered her a free apple. After ingesting the fruit, she found herself being transmigrated as Lilia, the handmaid of Meredeth Dankworth, who is the villainess in the novel that she's currently reading. But instead of reprimanding the evil deeds of the villainess, she decided to support her in reclaiming what had been taken from her: her fiancé and her rightful crown as the future queen from the female lead. What was even more surprising was when she discovered Lilia's true identity, which would be their greatest tool in turning the tables on their enemies. Two hearts that have tasted betrayal. Two hearts that have been broken by the people they've loved and trusted. Two hearts that share the same fate. This is a tale of vengeance and rivalry. And this time, Marie will make sure that her lady will win even if she becomes a villainess herself. Is that all there is to it, though?

Upon losing his partner and best friend from the hands of a female serial killer, Phish Coleman didn't trust any woman at all. He never had any deeper relationship with them unless it would only be for sex. No commitment, no deeper attachment. Even in the agency that he governs, he doesn't want a female agent. For him, women are distractions. Their beauty are lies that kills men. But when a young and novice agent named William Santiago entered XM Agency, the guy immediately gets on his nerves. Thin, sickly, average height, smart-ass. Walang-wala ang karakter ni William para maging isang full-pledged agent ng XM. Kung siya ang masusunod, gusto na niya itong i-fire out but management decided that William should stay and should be trained under him. Pero ano nga ba ang dahilan ng galit niya sa lalaki? Dahil ba sa hindi niya maipaliwanag na nangyayari sa kanya sa tuwing magkasama sila? A simple hand shake or even the lightest touch with the young agent gave his body a lightning strike. He couldn't understand the sexual tension that he feels towards William. Sigurado si Phish sa sarili niya na straight siya at babae ang gusto niya kaya nagtataka siya sa nangyayari sa kanya. O, baka naman nagbago na talaga ang sexual preference niya ng hindi lang niya nalalaman?

Unlike many women, Diadem was a hardcore non-believer of marriage for love. She would rather prefer marriage for convenience, and vowed not to follow her parents' doomed marriage. A testament to what folks regard as 'how love turned bloody awry'. Iyon kasi ang dahilan kaya maaga siyang naulila sa mga magulang at lumaki sa pangangalaga ng mga yaya at tagataguyod. Until she met Vince, a top-notch charmer who could easily manipulate women with his gorgeous looks and sinfully, sexy body. With a whip of his finger, she found herself ditching her precious motto and craved for the otherwise - Love and Marriage. But Vince was the exact opposite of 'The Man of Her Dreams'. He was rugged, dangerous and utterly unpredictable. He was the reincarnation of the infamous Judas. In fact, she baptized him with that moniker for quite some time. But boy oh boy, she did fall in love with him... fast and hard. Just when things were going smoothly between them, Vince dropped her like a hot potato. That was when she found out that he was out to seek revenge, and was hell-bent to make her life a living mess. Pero hindi lamang ang sikreto ni Vince ang kanyang natuklasan. She was unprepared to discover her own dark past, and the crime that she had unknowingly committed a long time ago. A crime that would forever haunt her even up to her grave.
