I was just a simple lady living on a peaceful countryside.
Then one day, I was knocked out and before I get to know what was happening, I woke up one morning inside an extravagant carriage, fully dressed in an elegant white gown with a stranger reaching out his hand from the outside.
And before I could even make a sound, the stranger - a surprisingly stunning and dangerously handsome man at that, came into view and uttered four ridiculously simple yet devastating words that shook me to the core.
And just like that, I became a pawn discarded to become the wife of the most stunning and most unscrupulous man on the kingdom - His Grace The Duke of Kargaz, Calex Hexon Tygart.
The simple and quiet life of Atallie Ygravet was suddenly put into chaos when she became entangled with the notorious Duke of Kargaz. She was caught up as a Duchess surrounded by too many of mistresses of her husband. Everyone thought that for a simple lady from an unknown little faraway county such as Atallie, she couldn't possibly accept her fate to have her man with his too many to count mistresses swarming like flies on the entire estate.
However, everyone was dumbfounded when they saw the Duchess with her cool, unperturbed, and aloof personality as she gracefully and calmly drank her tea while reading some books. She was so leisure to the point that even the disinterested and distant Duke started paying attention to her.
Nobody knew what was going through the minds of the Duke and the Duchess of Kargaz.
Oh, please, Duke, get those glaring eyes of yours away from me! Don't make me snap, or else you'll go blind in just a breath away! - Duchess
Hmp! Why is she so calm and quiet? What kind of game is she playing at? - Duke
In the continent where they live, wherein elements and magic exists, are things as simple as they seemed to be?

The Villain Should Be Wary
Prince Caydeyrn Di Vel Delphine. Commander of the royal battalion. A legend dressed in iron and silk. He's noble, honorable, devastatingly handsome-every inch the kind of man a kingdom worships, and a woman trusts with her life. Josephine Caldwell. A healer from the quiet provinces. Sweet as spring rain. Gentle as moonlight. Her magic draws pain into her own body so others can breathe again. She gives everything-her strength, her sleep, her peace-and asks for nothing in return. To Prince Caydeyrn, she was a miracle. She never wanted a crown. Never wanted love. But Caydeyrn offers both like they're hers by right. It's meant to be a pure love story. Wholesome. Romantic. It's supposed to make me swoon. But I don't. Because I don't want the prince. I want the other one. Duke Evander De LaCroix. The king's nephew. Vanished at eight. Returned a man-silent, changed. Not only broken. Twisted. Cold. Predatory. Wrong. The story details there is something unclean in the way he looks at people. Like he's already imagining what their screams might sound like. And when he sees Josephine? He fixates. He hunts her. Watches her like she's prey-like he's already decided to break her. She hides behind Caydeyrn's protection, clutching her innocence like armor. And every time Evander steps onto the page, I can't breathe. Not because I'm scared - but because I wish he looked at me like that. The book says he's wrong. That he's twisted. Dangerous. That Josephine's fear is justified. That Caydeyrn is the right choice. But I don't want safety. I want to be ruined by the villain. It's not their slow-burn romance anymore. It's my obsession. And the worst part? I know he would hate me. He wouldn't love me. He'd see the dark little thing I am and realize that I am not the innocent maiden he obsesses over. I'm lucky if he would ruin me for the fun of it. And God help me, I'd let him. Gladly.
The First Perspective
A man who conquered everything-power, wealth, strength-yet found himself at the peak of nothingness. Bored of a world he had already mastered, he took a final leap... only to open his eyes again. Reborn as Aren Wolfhart in a world of mana, nobles, and bloodline legacies, he is no lost soul seeking redemption-he is a ruler in the making. With his past-life intellect and an unshakable will, he will carve his own path to dominance. In a world where strength dictates fate, Aren will either rise as an unstoppable force or bring ruin to all who stand in his way. Power is everything. And this time, he refuses to be bound by fate. I'm Eren-or at least, I used to be. Now, I'm Aren. Death came for me in a way too strange to explain, yet here I stand again. Why? To find purpose in a world that's ruthless, where survival demands more than strength-it demands the mind of a predator. Every step I take is precise, every move cloaked in shadows, because power isn't given, it's taken. I don't care about what others think. Their judgments are noise-weakness dressed as opinion. I am cunning, ruthless, and unyielding. I blend into the background like a ghost, watching, calculating. Emotions? I buried them long ago. Logic and resolve are my weapons. I'm here to ascend, and nothing-no one-will stand in my way. If you dare block my path, you won't find me-I'll leave only a ghost behind, a smudge in your memory that warns you of what came and disappeared without a trace. There's no room for mercy in this climb, only cold ambition and unbreakable will.

A Time Traveling Fairytale
Fate leads those who are willing but must push those who are not. One might interpret this saying a bit too literal. After all, Elena did end up on the bottom of a hill in the middle of a forest, suffering several injuries.

Whatever it might be, it did not stop Elena from catching the eye of the prince of a powerful kingdom.
