I flinched as his hand reached to my face, and aggressively pulled down the cloak from my head. His eyes scanned me, taking in my tear-stained face, my jewelry, the hem of my dress. Then he spoke, voice cold and measured. "What is your name?" I opened my mouth, but no words came. Fear tightened its grip. "I believe I asked you a question," he said, eyes darkening further. "Alice," I choked out between tears and ragged breaths of panic. His cold eyes stayed on my face a moment longer before he finally released my cloak from his grip. His gaze drifted to the window. "You will address me as Your Highness. I do not tolerate mistakes. I will not shy away from punishment, and if I have too, I will make sure you learn to never defy my order again. Do I make myself clear?" -------------------- In this world, everybody has a soulmate-two people destined to be together for the rest of their lives. Finding them isn't as hard as you might think, since every pair who belong together share the same symbol somewhere on their body. It is something you're born with, something unshakable, something meant to be. No matter the status or wealth, there is no doubt: soulmates belong together. Some grow up knowing their future soulmate, others find them later in life-but in the end, they always find each other. In my family's kingdom of Lyria, marrying someone who isn't your soulmate is a punishable crime. My father always believed in the bond. But what if the bond isn't meant to be after all... Or could it be that my soulmate is none other than Darkness himself-the heartless king our country is currently at war with, the one who leaves neither women nor children alive... ----- Rewritten version 2025 CAUTION This book contains violence and gore along with cursing.

They once called her the Mad Dog of the South - the spoiled, short-tempered daughter of Duke Mortane. Feared by nobles, hated by the people, and foolishly obsessed with the Crown Prince who never loved her. Betrayed by her uncle. Framed by a false saint. Abandoned by the man she destroyed herself for. She died cursing her own foolishness... until the gods granted her one final mercy- to return to the past, one year before her ruin. This time, she'll play their game with her eyes open. She'll protect what's hers, crush those who deceived her, and rise from the ashes of her former self. Because this time... the villainess doesn't seek redemption-she rewrites her story.

One morning, Lu Yunchu found herself transmigrated into a novel and became a vicious supporting female character infatuated with the male protagonist. She intended to drug and forcefully have her way with the male protagonist, but due to a series of misunderstandings, she ended up scheming against the male protagonist's frail younger brother. In the end, she had no choice but to marry him. This secondary male character in the book was merely a plot device, created solely to prevent the development of the relationship between the male and female protagonists. The book only briefly describes him: unable to speak, difficulty swallowing food, covered in injuries. After the female supporting character marries the male supporting character, she directed all her resentment towards him, wishing to kill him. With these thoughts in mind, Lu Yunchu kicked open the tightly closed door. Wen Zhan had just finished vomiting and, out of fear of making Lu Yunchu disgusted, deliberately latched the door. When he saw her kick the door open and enter, his face turned pale and he crawled into the darkness in a sorry state. Lu Yunchu slowly approached him, and when he was trembling to the point of convulsions, she spoke gently, "Are you done vomiting? I made some vegetable porridge. Would you like a bowl?" [Content Warning] A redemption story where the male protagonist suffers greatly. The female protagonist is not OP either.

"I only wanted to watch the story unfold... not become part of it." One morning, I awoke not as myself, but as a minor side character in my favorite novel-the quiet daughter of a Count destined to fade into the background. My plan was simple: stay out of trouble and enjoy the view as the heroine and her destined lover blossomed before my eyes. But fate had other ideas. The cold, dangerous Crown Prince-the very villain fated to bring chaos-set his sights on me. Now, instead of peacefully watching the love story I once adored, I find myself trapped in a dangerous game of obsession, desire, and a future that was never written in the book.
