Ilia Andromeda was never meant to rule, only to serve. In her first life, she was the power behind the throne: the woman who used her family's agricultural might and political influence to elevate the Second Prince to the position of Crown Prince. Branded the other woman, whispered about as useful and disposable, Ilia learned too late that loyalty has no value once power is secured. When the crown was won, she was silenced. Betrayed, mutilated, and left to die by the man she helped ascend, Ilia's name was dragged through the streets as a villainess, an ambitious woman punished for daring to reach too high. But fate grants her a second life. Awakening years before her execution, Ilia abandons love, devotion, and illusion. This time, she will not raise a man to power. She will claim it herself. With cold precision, she begins to dismantle the court that once condemned her, manipulating noble houses, weaponizing public perception, and reshaping the empire from the shadows. There will be no romance to distract her. No mercy to weaken her resolve, no throne she will not take. Because if power is all that matters, Ilia Andromeda will ensure it belongs to her alone.

For years, Kat felt like she didn't belong. Not in the trailer with her alcoholic father, not in school where kids had the luxury of being kids...and not living as an outsider on the Satan's Fallen MC compound. There was a time when Max was the only person who made her feel like she had a rightful place, but that was a long time ago-back when she thought they were a team. Now, they're adults and their responsibilities are no longer linked to each other, but just as Kat is on the verge of freedom...one single night-one mistake-stands to jeopardize everything she's worked for. Tied to responsibility too young, Max is obsessed with righting the wrongs of the past, working tirelessly to free his father from incarceration for a crime he never committed. Conflicted over his feelings for Kat, Max buries them down, knowing he's already asked too much of her-more than she should ever have had to give. But then his freedom is jeopardized by another woman-and he risks losing Kat altogether.

When Emi's husband forgets his phone one morning, it only takes a few messages for everything to fall apart. She returns the phone in the middle of a board meeting and walks away from the life that she thought was happy and secure. But after the fallout comes reality. The money isn't there. The stability wasn't real. And starting over with two kids in her mother's one-bedroom apartment is a lot harder than leaving was. As Emi rebuilds from nothing, turning a quiet passion for ikebana into something more, she begins to understand that just like the flowers, she needs space, support, and patience to come into her own. Her husband thinks she'll come back because there's no way she can do it all alone. But, he's wrong, about more than one thing.

He left me on a hike in Alaska, three days before a snowstorm. He thought I'd die. I didn't. I thought I knew him. I didn't. I didn't know him at all.

✨ If death is the only escape... then I'll choose the most dramatic way to die✨ Lia Everhart never expected to open her eyes in the world of her favorite novel. But after falling into a coma in the real world, she realizes one thing: If she doesn't die in this world, she can't return to her body. So, instead of living peacefully as a forgettable side character, Lia boldly chooses the most entertaining death route she can think of- becoming the villainess. " I could've died in many ways.. Maybe stabbing myself, cutting my nerves or even drinking poison! Well since I had to die, in one way or the other, then why don't I try it in an interesting way ! What if I become the villainess?? She plots dramatic schemes, steals the spotlight, and even rescues the original villainess just for fun. Everything is going smoothly... until the story twists out of control. The heroine dies instead of her. The villain survives. Lia does NOT. Expecting to finally wake up- She doesn't. Instead, she opens her eyes in a second reincarnation, this time as Luna Estene, the pampered daughter of a powerful duke. And waiting for her is a smug, glitchy system announcing: "New life. New rules. Complete all five missions to return. Mission One: Seduce the villain." The villain-Caylum Morvane-is cold, sharp-tongued, and completely immune to her charms. Worse, the original heroine is still alive in this world... and destined to fall for him. Now Luna must flirt, manipulate, and survive every death flag while the system cackles in her ear. She only wants to die gracefully and go home, but fate seems obsessed with keeping her alive. Because this time, the villain might fall first. And Luna might live long enough to regret it.

With her newfound power, she'll carve her own path in this treacherous world, using every challenge to build her reputation. But the question remains: can she truly survive-and thrive-in a world where one wrong move could mean her end? "I would make Arthemice into a true villainess, not the childish one from the game I once played. Because right now, I, Faerie, embrace the darkness. I wanted to be the Villainess." ╔═════════ ◈ ═════════╗ Welcome to "Goddesses and the Villainess," dear player!

What would you do when four men come into your life and completely turn it upside down?... All I wanted to do was hide away on my ranch with no one to bother me, but apparently, they had different plans. Luckily for them, this was not my first zombie apocalypse. If they learn to listen, we might just get out of this with our lives. If not, maybe I would finally be able to rest in peace. Li Dai Lu was born and raised Canadian in her first life. This meant that she was taught how to share, how to put others first and to keep the peace as much as she could. However, that all backfired in a spectacular way. Reborn in a new time and place, Li Dai Lu did her best to protect all those that she could from the zombies that were wiping out the human race. Unfortunately for her, those she rescued were not as grateful as they should have been. Killed by the very people she saved, she held her breath and waited for the calm, peacefulness of death. But the Fates were not too accommodating and our heroine woke up in her third life, a year before the zombie apocalypse. This time she would live life on her own terms, and to those that disagreed... well, she would have a few words for them. With four men at her side, she will shed the cloak of civility and become who she was truly meant to be. WARNING!!! This will turn into a Reverse Harem. Mature Content and Vulgar Language on board, and Rage Bait at the start.

Havenwood #2 What should your fiance do when you called him because you crashed his favourite car? Ask how are you, if you're hurt, if you called 911 and more concerned filled words. What did he say though? He exploded, frustratedly, without asking me if I was severely hurt. I wasn't then, but I got hurt by the man my car bumped with, who beat me up thoroughly bad, I fainted right after. I always knew he loved his cars more than anything, but his words wounded me more than the man who attacked me. And with one horrifying incident I could see things clearly now. Maybe I had mistaken value all along, thinking I mattered more than his cars.

Adelaide Greyard was born cursed. Her crimson eyes marked her as an omen in an empire that feared what it did not understand. Though a legitimate daughter of a marquisate, she was unloved, unwanted, and quietly tormented her entire life. Weak, soft-hearted, and desperate for affection, Adelaide clung to the one man betrothed to her-only to be publicly humiliated, betrayed, and cruelly rejected. When the man she loved told her she was disgusting and pitiful, Adelaide chose death. But death was not the end. Reborn with her memories intact-and power already awakening-Adelaide laughs at the foolish girl she once was. This time, she will not beg for love or approval. Bound once more to the Aragon Dukedom, she makes a decision that shocks the empire: she refuses her former fiancé and instead asks to marry Kael Aragon, his uncle-a battle-hardened duke more than twice her age. Only then does Alexus Aragon begin to see her. The tears are gone. The weakness is gone. The woman who once loved him without restraint now looks at him with cold indifference-and it unsettles him. Attraction follows regret. Regret turns to obsession. For the first time, Alexus wants Adelaide... and for the first time, she wants nothing from him. He clings. He schemes. He tries to reclaim what he once scorned. But Adelaide does not turn back. This is not a story of forgiveness. It is a story of refusal. Of desire awakened too late. And of a woman who chooses herself-while the man who broke her watches her slip beyond his reach. Some loves are ungodly. Some regrets are eternal.
