Lin Yuexin died betrayed. Poisoned by the husband she once loved and the sister she once trusted, her final memory was not of the man who destroyed her- but of the cold prince who held her while she died in the snow. Then Heaven gives her a second chance. Reborn before her marriage, Yuexin swears revenge on everyone who ruined her life. This time, she will not choose the gentle and charming Ninth Prince. This time, she chooses the feared Seventh Prince instead. The prince whispered to be ruthless. The prince the court fears. The prince she once could not stand. But as palace conspiracies deepen and the battle for the throne turns deadly, Yuexin begins uncovering a terrifying truth: The boy who saved her from fire long ago... was never the man she loved before. It was always him. And this lifetime? The cold prince refuses to lose her again.

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.

Su Wanyin has spent seventeen years learning to make herself small. So when her family swaps her in for her terrified legitimate sister and sends her to the Ninth Prince - the scarred war god the capital calls a demon for his savage temper and the three brides who never lived a year - she goes the way she's done everything: silently, dressed in stolen wedding red, expecting a grave. But the man whose rage makes generals tremble never raises a hand to her. And on her first night in his cold, dangerous manor, the meek bastard daughter notices something no one else has dared to: someone is slowly poisoning the demon prince to death.

Xue Ning's entire family died in battle. She grew up in the Marquis of Xuanyi's household and deeply adored Su Zhan, the heir who had grown up with her since childhood. With a cup of spring wine laced with something extra, she fulfilled her wish and became his wife. Later, Su Zhan rose to become the all-powerful Grand Secretary. The two of them appeared respectful and harmonious, and were once considered one of the rare love stories in the capital. Everyone said that she, an orphaned girl, was blessed to marry such a man. Only she knew how many lonely, silent nights she endured alone. He had a "white moonlight" he loved but could never obtain-and he had never loved her. Because she had once offered herself to him, he despised her. So he sent her away to an old country estate for five years. She sent letter after letter back to the capital, but none were ever answered. Helpless and alone, she was eventually burned alive in a fire set by others, dying with hatred in her heart. ... After being reborn, the first thing Xue Ning did was overturn the cup of spring wine that had originally been prepared for Su Zhan. Then, she carefully chose a fiancé for herself. At a family banquet, with relatives gathered, Xue Ning walked up to Su Zhan, her arm hooked around her fiancé's. "Grand Secretary, this is my fiancé. Please look after him in the future." The always cold and restrained Grand Secretary instead began to crumble, his eyes red: "Xue Ning... I was the one who knew you first!" *Original Translation* ©All Rights reserved

Inure: (v.) To accustom to accept something undesirable, evil, or painful. An other worldly girl is reincarnated as Queen Estella de Royalis, the villainess of a novel that is killed by her own husband. Having no other choice, she strives to save herself from that fate. However, the novel she read is not the reality she believed. ______ I tried on another, a red one this time. I twirl in its large skirt. "This one matches your eyes," I say as I spin. "This one too." I stop, putting my hands on my hips. "Are you going to order all of them?" "If I want to, yes, I will." He doesn't budge. I sigh, sitting next to him. "You know that you don't have to do this. I can go buy my own dresses." "I know, but I want to see you wear dresses that I chose. Besides, is it so wrong to want to spend time with you?" ______ Note: This is entirely my work. I want to see if I'm able to write something without a plot set up for me. I hope you like it!

Wattpad said "NOPE", no more new chapters in my first book. 😂 Apparently, it's too long already, so I had to create a new book to continue Ceres's story. Hahaha! So yes, this is the continuation! 🎉 📌 To all new readers: You really, really need to read the first book before this one, otherwise, nothing here will make sense. Like, at all. 😂 #CeresChroniclesContinue #TooLongForWatty #ReadBookOneFirst #TrustTheProcess

Ceres was the villain in her half-sister Ciena's love story, doing everything to sabotage their relationship. On their wedding day, she arrived in a gown grander than the bride's, basking in the chaos she caused. But fate had other plans. Outside the church, a runaway truck barreled toward the crowd. She should have been safe-until she saw a little girl in danger. Without hesitation, she saved the child, only to be struck and killed herself. Instead of hell, she woke up as the widowed Empress of a crumbling kingdom-a woman with her face but none of her privilege. Once a spoiled brat, she now had to rule a dying empire. Could she rise as a true Empress, or was she doomed to fall once more?

King Aedric Veyne built his throne on the ashes of witches. After magic killed his brother, he swore to wipe it from the world. Princess Maria of Sareen is sent north to marry him as a political sacrifice. Her duty is simple: secure his army, save her dying kingdom, and survive a husband known as the Iron Wolf. There is only one problem. She is the very thing he hunts. A Sunfire witch. If her secret is discovered, her wedding will become her execution. But the frozen king she feared is not the monster she expected... and the shadow bound to her magic would burn kingdoms to keep her alive. In a land where magic means death and mercy is treason, Maria must decide who she betrays first: her husband, her protector... or herself. Dark fantasy. Political tension. Forbidden power. Slow-burn danger. Enemies to lovers.

[COMPLETE] I died from overwork and woke up as the empire's most spoiled villainess-Lady Seraphina Valeria. In the novel, she was executed for trying to poison the saintly heroine. I have no plans of dying again, thank you very much. My new plan? Avoid the heroine, outsmart the prince, and strike a deal with the mysterious black-market mage everyone fears. Unfortunately, the story doesn't like being rewritten-and the "villainess" everyone hates might just become its biggest glitch. If fate wants me dead again, it'll have to try harder.
