"There's a crazy monster in the North. It's best you don't cross the people there." Ravenna is the crazy monster. She once lived as the foolish villainess who chased the Crown Prince, envied the Saint, and turned the empire against her. When she was imprisoned, the only person who showed her mercy was the Northern Duke, who freed her. Only for him to be assassinated by the imperial family. On the day she dies from a mysterious, incurable illness, Ravenna begs for just one more chance. And when she opens her eyes again, she is back in time, standing in the courtroom where she is being accused. This time, instead of begging for the Crown Prince's love, she chooses to marry the Northern Duke. Everyone thinks she is still the jealous villainess. No one knows she remembers the future. No one knows she is dying from an illness. But they will know, she is here for the most cruel and wicked revenge.

There's an Author, Yavira Chiu, who's into writing tragic tales. One day, she's strolling down the street, minding her own business, when bam! She gets hit by a truck. Next thing she knows, she's not Yavira anymore-she's some random maid. "Ugh, why a maid? This story is so ungrateful. If I didn't pen it down, it wouldn't even exist," she grumbles, clearly not thrilled with her newfound role. Yavira's got quite the attitude, let me tell you. But hey, let's see if she can hack it in her own tragic narrative. "What's the name of this maid again? No, wait, my name, rather," she mutters, eyeing herself in the mirror while sporting a plain ol' nightgown-not exactly haute couture. "Miyahani," she whispers, rubbing her temples. "The name's not winning any beauty contests, but at least the girl's got a face," she remarks, somewhat begrudgingly. "Now, let's see. I can actually watch my own story unfold live. Pretty cool, right? Though, I'm dead, so it's kind of a toss-up," she says, sounding a tad bored. Still, she's excited to see her favorite characters in action, even if this story is playing out like a Greek tragedy. So, will Yavira manage to navigate her own narrative? Guess we'll find out.

She wanted to save her favorite fairytale character, the derelict second male lead. To rescue the kidnapped princess, he went as far as sacrificing his one-of-a-kind magical companion. But at the end, she married the crown prince of the neighboring kingdom. Just because one was born as the king's son, he got the main lead position. The orphan stood at the second place, despite being a prodigy in swordsmanship. She could not bear to see the second male lead dying all alone and broken-hearted. So, I helped her change the fate of the second lead. ✨️🥇First place - The Slowest Burning Romance Book in the Fabulation mini Awards🥇✨️ ✨️🏆 First place - Best original character in the Golden Ink Awards 🏆✨️ *************************************************** Book cover by Lyuu @Lyuuxyv Thank you so much for your beautiful artwork, Lyuu!
