Struggling to sell a single painting and drowning in student debt, Marisol Reyes, a fiercely independent but lonely artist in modern-day Chicago, is just about ready to give up on her dreams. When a mysterious storm crashes through her studio, she's pulled-brushes and all-into a world of primal beauty, where men can transform at will to different animals, cities are carved from stone and bone, and technology is nothing more than a fantasy. In this untamed realm centered around women and powered by instinct, Marisol finds herself at the center of the beastmen tribes. With no phone, no way home, and no clue how to survive in a matriarchal society where women must take multiple male consorts to stay protected, Marisol must quickly adapt-or risk becoming prey. Thrust into the spotlight, she must navigate between aggressive females, obsessive men, and unexpected desire. Armed with nothing but her creativity, courage, and the heart she wears on her sleeve, Marisol begins to uncover her place in this wild world. Maybe she doesn't need to return home after all... maybe she was meant to paint a new life here.

After her redemption, it was now Zhao Lifei's turn to experience a love grander than the female lead. Smarter, feistier, and wittier, Zhao Lifei knew how to survive the cruel, backstabbing, and harsh upper-class society was. "A cheating fiancé that broke my heart? Screw him, I'll find someone richer!" "All of my friends have abandoned me? Whatever, I'll find better ones!" "My parents disowned me?

Featured at Wattpad's Editor Picks list. Luna, an overworked Engineer, had an unfortunate end. Her spirit, feeling wronged, fights Death for a second chance in life. Death grants her the wish, but with a catch. She gets to live a new life in a new world. A world that came from a book she had been reading before. But the worst part..... she becomes Lucreatia, a side character bound to die miserable, at the hands of the hero. Luna vows to find a way to avoid her death and live peacefully her days, this time. Would she be able to do it? Or the story, already written cannot be changed? Find out! Act I: Finished (~41k words) Act II: Finished (~ 60k words) Act III: Starting ---------//‐---------- I would like to welcome everyone who came to read my story! Feedback, as long it is constructive and polite, is appreciated. This story is my first one on Wattpad and is being written on my phone during some free time. So forgive me for any mistake. In all, I hope you enjoy the story as much as I do writing it. The story will be told on a first-person basis. I feel Luna/Lucreatia would be a kick-ass girl 😁 The world would have magic and in terms of clothes and so on, close to the Victorian era. The story has strong language and talks about serious issues like death for example. At least a PG-13 type of story. You have been warned! In case mature content comes up I will warn up here and change the content rating. I may edit after publishing, though I always try to bring the finished product. Update date: Every Sunday Hopefully 😅 To be added to Royal Road (as well as Wattpad).

Alice Beaumont was an ordinary girl with an unremarkable life-until tragedy struck. Caught in a sudden explosion, her life was snuffed out in an instant. But death was not the end. When she opened her eyes again, she found herself reborn as Charlotte Everthorne-the infamous villainess of the very novel she once read. The cruel, cold-hearted princess of the Eldoria Kingdom, fated to meet her demise at the hands of the male lead. Armed with the painful knowledge of her inevitable death, Charlotte refuses to accept the fate written for her. With every calculated step, sweet smile, and carefully chosen word, she is determined to rewrite her destiny. But changing the story is not as easy as it seems-especially when the people around her expect the same wicked villainess they've always known. With danger lurking at every corner and the story's plot threatening to trap her, Charlotte will do everything just to not die-even if it means playing the villainess in a different way. Because this time, she won't let fate decide her ending.
