"I felt like I was the most hated antagonist, the other woman, third party, in a TV drama series-the nasty girl who shamelessly wrecked a relationship. I felt more guilty of my popularity when I agreed to be his fake girlfriend when now I knew the prince and another person had broken hearts.
How far would I go to be the duchess of North Valley? Should I stop?"
-----
In the powerful country of Luvia, status is still important, and royal blood is still a thing. Nathalie Hendlefort, an 18-year old girl part-timer, claimed that she is a direct descendant of a duke, and her grandmother was a duchess before stripping the title from their family. Nathalie never experienced royalty, and she lived like a commoner until a prince came into her life.
Prince Theodore of Luvia, popularly known as Prince Theo, is a crown prince who never thought of marrying anyone but his first love - a high-profile celebrity who did not come from a royal blood ancestor. His parents are against with him marrying a non-royal blood, but Prince Theo will do anything just to marry his present girlfriend even using a commoner like Nathalie Hendlefort.
Nathalie only wants to return their family's title and her grandmother's name, and Prince Theo will grant it and make her a duchess once he becomes a king someday, but with only one condition: for Nathalie to pretend as Prince Theo's girlfriend in the public, while he is dating his non-royal blood girlfriend secretly.
As fate and love find each other in every lifetime, will this finally be the start of their happily ever after?

Shadow of the Prince
"A fantastical cross between the Beauty and the Beast and ACOTAR." A prince, a witch, and a wolf are tied together by the sins of their parents. Can they break free of the secrets that bind them, or will the Kingdom of Eidas forever be under a terrible curse? Dalia Leary, the eighteen-year-old daughter of an outcast Seer and a downtrodden merchant, lives in a city steeped in lore and magic, where the gods rule the seasons and the noble half-bloods rule the people. The kingdom of Eidas is down on its luck, facing mass starvation and economic failure from prolonged droughts. Dal's mother seems certain that there is a strange, simple solution to both their problems and those of Eidas'. Dal just has to marry the Prince of Eidas, Prince Tullvomm. Easy, right? Of course not. The Prince is nearly ten years her senior, and engaged to be married to the beautiful Princess of the East. She is nothing more besides a common girl from Bridgewater Avenue. Besides the obvious issues of his princess fiancée and her very un-noble birth, there's one other small little problem - Prince Tullvomm is never seen without his pitch-black wolf at his side - his beastly protector. The more Dal tries to get close to the Prince, the more the ghastly wolf seems to always get in the way. Dal realizes that to get access to the Prince she must either befriend the beast or slay him, and though part dog he may be, the beast doesn't seem the type to lie down and roll over. In fact, the more time Dal spends around the creature the less sure she is that he is a dog at all.Complete

✩ Darling Disaster ✩| Fairy Tale Gone Wrong |
Fairytales were never meant for girls like her. Illyria was meant to be the jewel of her kingdom-a perfect bride locked away in a floating castle, guarded by a beast until a hero came to claim her. But. Unfortunately for everyone, Illyria has never been good at following the script... or staying put. With a emotion-driven magic and a dragon who cares more about snacks than savagery, her escape from the tower is anything but graceful. But freedom comes with a price. The prophecy tied to her whispers doom: if Illyria falls in love with the wrong man, kingdoms will crumble. And the wrong man is already watching. Lucien Duskbane- "The Villain" in every wrong stories - is dark, ruthless, and far too handsome for anyone's good-intended to use Illyria as a weapon. What he didn't expect was a girl who laughed at danger, out-magicked her own disasters, and turned his carefully constructed plans into a mess of silk, fire, and sass. Now, with a sparkly prince chasing her for marriage, a villain pursuing her, and an ever-growing trail of magical mayhem in her wake, Illyria must decide what kind of disaster she's willing to be-darling or deadly. But one thing's certain - this is not how fairy tales are supposed to go.
