"Tell me, Gianna," he says her name like a caress and a threat combined. "Were you disappointed?" He steps closer. Invasive. Possessive. "That I wasn't fighting? That you didn't get to see the Devil play?" His hand leaves her hair to trace her jawline-that same touch from before, the one that made her breath catch. "Because I don't fight for entertainment," he breathes, thumb brushing the corner of her mouth. "I fight when something is worth fighting for. When something is worth taking." His eyes burn into hers. "And I'm trying to decide, kotyonok..." The hand on her jaw tightens just slightly. "Are you worth the war I'd start to keep you?" They say the devil doesn't come with horns. He comes with power, legacy, and a smile that promises ruin. At Halgrave University, last names are weapons and secrets are currency. This is a world built for monsters-heirs raised on violence, dominance, and control. And at the center of it all stands Nikolai Vetrova-cold, untouchable, and feared even by those born into darkness. He was never meant to notice her. She was never meant to survive him. What begins as hostility turns into obsession. What feels like hate bleeds into desire. And the closer she gets, the more she realizes-loving him isn't dangerous. Surviving him is. Because some men don't fall in love. They claim. They ruin. And once the devil touches you, he never lets go. He is the Future Pakhan of the Bratva While she is the Cosa Nostra Princess.

When Lu Mian opens her eyes again, she's back - reborn with every memory, every scar, and a heart that's finally learned how to stay cold. This time, she won't waste her genius saving ungrateful hearts. This time, she'll live for herself, ignoring all those who caused her pain and were unworthy of her love.

They call him Huo Shen, the ruthless power who rules the city from the shadows. To the world, he's untouchable. To her, he's a puzzle wrapped in silence - a man dying from an illness no one can name... until she walks into his life. She wants to live, to shine. He wants her. What begins as a deal between two broken souls turns into something neither can control. She heals his body, he guards her heart. He pampers her like she's fragile, yet his love burns with a dangerous edge only she can tame. And when the past claws its way back, they'll fight not just for survival - but for the chance to stand side by side, unshaken, and finally shine on their own terms.

So transmigration into a novel is real. Fantastic. But instead of waking up as the dazzling heroine or the cunning villainess... I got stuck as the cannon fodder side character. The one who showed up twice and died in a single sentence. Two scenes. One line of death. That's my entire legacy. Even the villainess gets more respect than me. Well, not this time. I refused to play. I got a second chance, and I'm taking it all- the story, the characters, and the author can choke on their own plot. _

She was the villainess who died loving the wrong prince. Now? She's got one rule: NO MORE ROYALS. In her first life, she was hopelessly obsessed with Duncan Davenford, Crown Prince of Ashtor. She chased him, humiliated herself, and turned into the girl everyone loved to whisper about. The villainess who fell too hard and crashed even harder. But fate gave her a second chance. This time, she's staying far away from the palace, the crowns, the drama and especially from heartbreak. All she wants is a peaceful, prince-free life. Too bad the universe is a troll. Because now there's another Crown Prince. He's cold, quiet, and way too attractive for her own good. And worse? He doesn't look at her like she's the villain. He looks at her like she's the story.

River is the most typical villainess you'll find in any otome girl. Even though she is the epitome of beauty, the heroine wins all the male leads and the villainess has a tragic end.

In a gilded cage of silk and shadows, Wen Yanyi once lived a life of pampered delusion. She was the spoiled heiress, the childhood darling utterly devoted to Shen Jiyan, the aloof prince of the financial world. She believed his quiet acceptance was love, his indifference merely shyness. Until she arrived - the true heroine of this story, who stripped Wen Yanyi of everything: his name, his protection, and her very life. Dying alone, consumed by a mad obsession, Wen Yanyi tasted ruin. Her family, once revered, crumbled to dust. But fate, it seemed, had a twisted sense of humor. She woke up eighteen again, a year before history was set to repeat. This time, she wouldn't be the desperate villainess. She would become everyone's precious darling, admired and protected, a vision of ethereal purity that captivated hearts without effort. She would perfect the fragile innocence that made others want to shield her, all while concealing a mind as sharp as steel beneath her delicate facade. Shen Jiyan is returning, the countdown to his reappearance ticking like a silent clock. But Wen Yanyi isn't running to him, weeping for him, or begging for his attention. This time, she'll stand just out of reach, a sweet, untouchable enigma. And when his cold eyes finally find her, it won't be out of obligation, but out of a fierce, undeniable desire. ___________________________________________ Disclaimer: This is an original work of fiction.
