"You may be the hero, but I'm the star."
Lilitu, a proud and intelligent astronomer, has always managed to break with the gendered expectations of her culture. Even the most enlightened men in the land, the mysterious brotherhood known as the Craftsmen, believe that a woman must be guided by a man to find her destiny. But Lilitu already knows her destiny: To bring order to the empire and protect knowledge from those who are too weak to understand it. Her unapologetic ambition, however, is challenged by a rising initiate of the Craftsmen, a man who antagonizes her at every turn and threatens to plunge the nation into degradation and hypocrisy. But Lilitu refuses to be put her in place. No one defies the star-blazing queen.

The Lost Life of Laraine
She lead a rather tragic life. The black sheep of her family due to her lack of affinity for fire. Her affinity was quite the opposite. Water in fact. Already in a time when women did not really have much political power or rights, she was outcasted by her family despite being of nobility. Still allowed to live in the distant west wing of the massive Grand Duke's manor, she has never eaten a single meal with her family nor extended family, and has spent her loneliness in her books and sword lessons. Although only taught by the head butler and one of the low ranked knights of the family, she was quite bright and if her family would have given her a chance she would have done great things. If only she didn't die at such a young age. Married off to some "hero" of sort that had slayed the Dragon of the North who was terrorizing the land and threatened the kingdom, this hero also had an affinity for fire and held her in disdain like the rest of her family. Suddenly a girl of another world was transported to their world, picked up by this hero and put into his secure care. The pair soon fell for each other despite the hero's marriage, and many believed Laraine got jealous of this girl of mystery, and tried to kill her. This was definitely not true. But because the girl was favored by the temple and kingdom Laraine was quickly arrested and put on trial. You can probably tell what happened to Laraine. But something strange happened the day of her execution. As soon as her decapitated head hit the ground the sky turned blood red and it began to rain fire. No one survived that day. But for some reason time went back, and Laraine was back to being a child, but with no memory of her future. There were select few in her life, however, that remembered her tragedy and now perhaps will take action to prevent it. NOTE: I'M AWARE THERE ARE A LOT OF INCONSISTENCIES. IT WILL BE EDITED SOME DAY BUT RIGHT NOW I'M JUST TRYING TO FINISH IT.![The Butterfly Bracelet [Yandere Prince x Female Reader]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/230345104-256-k687619.jpg)

Once there she discovered that her rescuer was actually the Royal Tutor, who had been ordered to find the prince a bride in the next three months. Indebted to the man for saving her from her terrible situation, Y/N had no choice but to agree to the tutor's crazy plan to turn her into the perfect bride for the prince. But what if this plan ended up working a bit too well? Despair and hopelessness lay behind her, while trickery, danger, and obsession wait in masquerade for Y/N.

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!Complete

The Art Of Getting Rich Again
She had it all-money, power, luxury. A brilliant businesswoman at the peak of success, she lived in a world where intelligence and cunning ruled. But in the blink of an eye, everything was taken from her. Struck by lightning and thrown into an unfamiliar medieval fantasy world, she wakes up with nothing. No wealth, no connections, no mana-not even a noble title. Just a sharp mind, a relentless drive, and a burning desire to reclaim the status she once had. In this new world where power is determined by bloodline, magic, and strength, she must outwit corrupt nobles, manipulate guilds, negotiate with criminals, and navigate a world filled with hidden dangers. Along the way, she gathers a small but loyal group of allies-a cold-hearted fallen noble, a thick-headed warrior, a skeptical scholar, and a seductive spy. With no magic of her own, she must use business, strategy, and deception to rise above the system. The world is against her, but she doesn't care. Because in the end, wealth isn't about magic or bloodline. It's about who plays the game better. And she intends to win.
