Revenge. I'm familiar with it. You have to be when you're the firstborn son of a notorious mafia leader. Death and vengeance have been the very foundations of my life. So who in their fucking mind would be stupid enough to cross me? My brother and I have been wrongfully convicted of a crime we didn't commit. We know who is behind this. We bid our time behind bars, planned and prepared for the day we got out. Now we're free and hungry for redemption. I know what must be done. I know whose blood will be spilled. But before I go after him, I'll go after his daughter. I never said I play fair. *Book one in the Marino Brothers Duet. Rated 18+ due to explicit language, sex, and violence.*

I got reincarnated as Diana Cisneros, tragic and pitiful villainess who had a completely awful life as a abandoned empress and concubine of a trashy male lead! Seriously! How the hell she can be a evil woman when she's been abused and mistreated by this Crown Prince?! I mean he's purely trash! Even he violated her and made her lose her kid as executing her after she stabbed him when he revealed that he killed her father, Marquess who loves her and cares her. I mean seriously he's trash along with female lead! The OG Diana's spirit watches over me to see what I'm going to do with this second chance of this current life I got. She doesn't want her father, her maids, servants and her March to die by the hand of this cocky, arrogant prince. Well, watch me, Diana. I won't let your family died or I won't be this trash Crown Prince's fiancée. After, screw being empress. I rather be the Regent Marchioness. (Based out of Abandoned Empress, but this one will be different with Isekai protagonist and more better than manhwa which MC won't end up with trashy prince)

After an encounter with an archangel, Claire Hill, or more aptly known as the 'Ice Queen' by the rest of her peers, is sent to another world. With a personality that disregards the rest, a natural aura that pushes people away, and eyes that could stare a person to death, Michael wonders how this girl before him could ever hope to fit into her new world. Shaking his head slightly, he decides to enjoy watching her antics and adventure. Thus begins the comedic, fantasy, action, slice of lifeish adventure of the Ice Queen now changed into a literal Ice Fairy with the ability to summon and control the power of...wait for it...ice! Could it have been anything other than ice? I mean, the title says it all, even the cover. Welcome to a serious and not serious novel, where dissing Isekai and living Isekai go hand in hand. Where romance buds between two similar but not so similar girls. Yet, things still are not as they first appear. *This volume is completed and the second is already being published on my profile. *There is a revamped version of this current volume being written. --- My Discord Server: https://discord.gg/vwKhVUR *The cover image is not owned by me, but merely used by @DiamondFreddy29 to make the graphic cover for the novel.

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!
