The last thing Serena Chen remembers was her dying from old age on a hospital bed. Thus, she was surprised when she opened her eyes and saw an intricately carved ceiling.
She lived a decent and happy life. Since birth, her life has been quite easy, her loving parents owned real estate properties where they receive more than enough income from rent, when she got married, her husband worked while she simply worked for her parents, when her daughter was born, she had her family help her raise her up, when her daughter got married she was given two sweet grandchildren. All in all, she had no regrets in life albeit she had some fantasies.
Since her husband's death, her favorite past time was reading romance novels and watching dramas. So when she discovered that she transmigrated as Serena Maxwell, the villainess in the novel "A Cinderella story in Victorian fantasy era" she was quite elated.
Set in a Victorian-esque era, Serena Lilianne Maxwell was the only daughter of the Ducal house of Maxwell. She was rich, beautiful, a little haughty, and the fiancé of the crown prince. Every lady wants to be her, but sadly, the crown prince, Geoffrey, fell in love with Emily Evans, the daughter of an impoverished Baron.
Well, who wants to be a crown princess when she can live as a rich and beautiful lady without too much responsibility? All her life, well previous life, she has been pampered without facing any difficulties. Plus, she has her fantasies to fulfill which of course being a crown princess can not satisfy.
One of her fantasies is having boyfriends to taste before marraige. Thus, she set her sights on her first target, Charlton Daniel, the only son of the duke of Suffox, best friend/ cousin of the crown prince, and the second male lead.
Well, she already lived her past life as a normal decent lady so why not live as a semi-wanton lady of the era in her fantasy?

Abelle- A Chinese Romance
As everyone knows from the olden days to the present, people marry people that are up to their standards. It's amazing, yet unrealistically normal. Why shouldn't a person with less fortune have to marry someone with less fortune too? Can't it be like a Cinderella story where the prince and his destined princess meet? This story is based on two Chinese lovers in a very rich society here now in the present. Li Abelle's family were once known in China to own the most richest stock company! But ten years ago, the fame ended with a failed offer of a loan from another close company friend; leaving the Li Company to go bankrupt and for Li Abelle to have to make her own fortune. Ten years has passed and Li Abelle is now a popular model appearing on magazine covers, doing photo shoots, and interviews with several reporters who want to know more about her. Life is just fine till Li Abelle is arranged to be married with another man she cannot love. Her true love was faraway in her mind yet so near in blood relations with her fiancee. . It just seems almost impossible for Abelle to be reunited with her destined. With family, status, and the media getting in the way of everything...Abelle starts to lose hope of ever having at least one date with the man she desires. Then Abelle realizes something important from her friends and current fiancee. What is true love? Reminder: In China, the last names are put in front first before the first names. Like Li Abelle, Li isn't her first name, it's her last. I only made exceptions for James and Jina Chan to have their names first. Also characters Jack Ting, Chelsie Fu, and Liu Fang, are addressed by their first names. Parents and other high-class adults in story are called by their last name first. *This is a fiction story, but all other places, cities, and landmarks here are real. Search them up if you don't believe me. ;)Complete
The Duke Fell for the Villainess
She was just a tired grade school teacher in the modern world- unappreciated, overworked, and denied her promotion year after year. Her only escape was her favorite otome game... until a tragic accident with a banana peel ended her life. When she opened her eyes again, she wasn't in her small apartment anymore. She was in a luxurious mansion. In a child's body. The villainess of her favorite game. Born as the real daughter of a Marquis, she knew how her story was supposed to end: starvation, betrayal, poison, and death. Her stepmother and stepsister would steal everything from her, and her own father would let her die without a tear. But this time, she refuses to play the role of a doomed villainess. Armed with memories from her past life, loyal brothers at her side, and a sharp tongue sharpened by years of teaching, she'll rewrite fate itself. Yet the world of nobility is more dangerous than she imagined- scheming crown princes, false heroines, poisonous stepmothers, and a cold northern Duke whispered to be a beast. But what if the "beast" turns out to be the one man who sees her for who she truly is?
