COMPLETED!!! Thalia Windrose had it all-money, luxury, and an army of maids catering to her every whim. As the heiress of a multi-billion-dollar empire, work was a foreign concept. Why lift a finger when someone else could do it for you? But fate (and a suspiciously fast-moving truck) had other plans. Reincarnated into a fantasy world as the daughter of a struggling noble family, Thalia barely has a roof over her head-let alone a bank account to bail her out. With no riches, no servants, and no clue how to survive, she's forced to take the only job available to a penniless noblewoman: a palace maid. The problem? She has never worked a day in her life. To make matters worse, her new life comes with a system guide designed to turn her into the "perfect" maid-whether she likes it or not. With daily tasks, skill levels to grind, and unexpected punishments, Thalia must navigate the chaotic world of royal service without embarrassing herself (or, you know, getting fired). Can a spoiled heiress survive the ultimate challenge-an honest day's work? 2025

Ashkarion Faelwinter, third prince of the Faelwinter Empire, was never meant to rule. Afflicted by Everthorne, a centuries-old curse that ensures he will wither away by the age of twenty-seven, he was cast aside-pitied, ignored, and forgotten by both the imperial court and his own family. But for Ashkarion, this was perfectly fine. After dying in his previous life, he had one simple goal in this new one: relax, enjoy his royal status, and take life as easy as possible before the curse claims him. Unfortunately, life has other plans. Between a rude flower fairy, troublesome nobles, and an empire that refuses to leave him alone, Ashkarion finds himself constantly dragged into chaos. And so, the cursed prince continues his chilling life journey-whether the world likes it or not. 2025
