I died from exhaustion in a world that never wanted me. When I opened my eyes again, I was no longer a nameless office worker... I was the beloved daughter of a duke inside a novel I once read. But here's the problem: I'm not the heroine. I'm not the villainess. I'm just the "ex-friend" side character who was supposed to fade away quietly. That was my plan too- ...until I stumbled upon a black dragon's egg. Until it hatched and called me "Mother." Until it transformed into a child and dragged me into the center of every noble's gossip, every battle, and... every man's heart. Now the male lead won't stop appearing in my life, the second male lead keeps getting too close, and even the villain himself seems interested in me. And worst of all? The so-called heroine is furious that everything she wanted... is becoming mine. I never asked for this. But if fate insists on putting me in the spotlight- then fine. I'll shine brighter than anyone else.

Becoming a princess by marrying a prince should have been every young woman's dream come true... but not (Y/n)'s. Unfortunately for her though, and for reasons she can't understand, neither her family nor the Crown seem bent on listening to her and putting an end to her arranged marriage to Prince Daniel. Left with no other option, a Wishing Tree located in the middle of the kingdom's Cursed Forest might be the only solution to her royal issue. The plan was simple, venture in the Cursed Forest, write her wish on the Wishing Tree and leave. However, when her original plan doesn't work, (Y/n) has no choice but to make a deal with the devil. And as Fate would have it, a mutually beneficial deal soon turns into something darker when the creature (Y/n) bonded herself to starts hungering for more than just freedom and revenge. When it starts craving her. #1 in #forcedproximity

Title: The Lazy Empress Genre: Historical, BL, Transmigration, Comedy, Romance, Drama --- Synopsis: Lin Yu, a modern-day university student and professional napper, wakes up one morning not in his bed, but in a golden palace-inside the body of the cold, calculating male empress Huo Zhen, feared by all and loved by none. But Lin Yu? He's allergic to responsibility, plotting, and waking up before noon. As the empire's ministers wait for their ruthless empress to continue his power games, Lin Yu lounges on silk cushions, refuses to read court reports, skips palace drama, and instead, starts baking snacks with the kitchen staff and building pillow forts. But there's a problem... The emperor-Li Feng-is watching. Li Feng never loved Huo Zhen. Their marriage was political. But now, this "new" empress is smiling in his sleep, humming in the gardens, and accidentally charming everyone from palace maids to the royal guards. The emperor is confused... and intrigued. What happens when a lazy modern boy trapped in a scheming male empress's body accidentally becomes the heart of the imperial court? Will Lin Yu find a way home, or will he fall for the emperor who starts falling for him? ---
