They promised me a title I don't want, in a world I want to escape from.

The Continent of the Gods, they call it. They came and left hundreds of years ago and we still worship them. But we don't mean it. 

If we meant it, then following the only rule imposed on us should be easy: Fairies and Humans should coexist. It was violated 200 years ago, but we like to keep pretence. 

How was it supposed to be followed? Fairy monarchs marry humans. 

Here comes my part. As a human, I was asked to marry the king of Achelous. Why me? That's what I've asked too. It seems that by marrying me, my family will be benefited, and a promise made by my mother to the queen before I was even born tied my life to the castle. And I have personal reasons. Going to the castle will help me in gathering most wanted information. 

But while doing that, I'll have to play a role: the gullible future fiancé of the king. Why future? Because I have conditions; we're going to know each other first. I just hope that while learning my " future husband", I'll be able to keep my heart intact. 

And my mind. Because in a castle full of intricate webs of secrets and lies, dangers lurk from hidden corners. The shadows within me may not be strong enough to keep the monsters at bay. I'll have to buy my time.

And when I get what I want, I'm going to run. Just like that!All Rights Reserved

Forget the plot, let's become a Runaway Witch! by MagpieWithAQuill

Isn't it said that you should give away what you don't use? After losing my life, I became the Villainess in a novel I didn't even finish. That was alright; I had asked for this second chance, after all. Even if I didn't think my desperate pleas were going to be answered like this, I would not waste this chance. Living with my family was comfortable, but my ambitions were big. Still, the first thing to do was to evade the death flags. For that, I have to evade the Crown Prince at all costs. As a commoner, if he sees me and takes me as a concubine like in the original, it will be very troublesome. But what is this!? Didn't my parents tell you I was sick? Go away and enjoy the festival, and leave me alone! We don't know each other! If he is so insistent on taking me with him, then there is no other choice: I will run away from home! Mother, father, Lanto...I'm sorry. I hope your heads don't roll because of this. I sincerely enjoyed our time together. I learnt a lot from my father. Maybe becoming a wandering witch is not so bad... ... Isn't this how reincarnation stories usually go? With an obsessed male lead who suddenly shows interest in the reincarnated protagonist? But I'm completely honest when I say I will never marry or fall in love with this dude. And no, it's not just the usual 'protagonist who will later be proved wrong' talk. I will not let this become a cliche, damn it!

Bound to You by NightJem

An arranged marriage. A deal struck between a new King and Queen. Lies and acts to prove their reign to power hungry nobles. And a gravitational pull towards one another that neither can nor want to stop. Alessia: I left everything behind. My home, my brothers, and the boy I loved who was going to take me away from my father's control. However, all that changed the second my father shipped me off to France to marry their new and young King Darian. It's clear he carries the wait of his family on his shoulders. I know our marriage is a sham to appease his court and I am nothing but a pawn always being shifted around my father's game. But what my father doesn't realize is that he made a Queen in his deal. And I'll be damned if I fall for a king who may never love me back. Darian: I wanted nothing to do with this arranged marriage. But from the moment I saw her everything changed. In exchange for promising to never send her home at her request I got her to agree to playing the part of the happy married couple to appease the nobles trying to take my family's power. However, once I start falling for my beautiful and strange wife who can wield a bow better than anyone I know and never fails to surprise me I know things are about to get a lot more complicated. And I'm starting to regret ever making this a fake marriage in the first place.

Til Death Tears Me Apart Once Again [Discontinued] by Neverxinagain

"If I'm going to die anyway, there's no point in trying to live." A typical reincarnated into a villainess story, except the protagonist isn't your typical 'I want my happy ending protagonist', but a death seeker. XX 《'Til Death Tears Me Apart, I Will Always Love You》is a very successful otome game. As much praise and admiration the game recieves, it is also, however, notorious for being absurdly difficult. One wrong step and the player would be drowning in an ocean of death flags, for both the Heroine and the Capture Targets. Anything short of perfection wouldn't even get the player a glimpse of a happy ending for the Capture Target the player chose. Enter me; Just a simple, normal girl reincarnated into a game as dangerous as that, as the villainess no less. Destined to die no matter what, I think there's no point in me trying to fight fate. If I'm going to die regardless, might as well die sooner rather than later. But that desire for death causes more than just a few changes to the definite plot; From little ones that have no effect at all, to life changing ones that may destroy the world of Arraxus. So the God of the world makes a deal with me: They'll give me a peaceful and happy afterlife, as long as I get a happy ending for myself. "Let the game begin!" -- Discontinued.

Beloved "I am my beloved's and my beloved is mine" by PrincessAixa

I have always been a hopeless romantic, always daydreaming of my prince charming to come, sweep me off my feet and we would ride off into the sunset to our happily ever after. When you're a princess this type of idea could be possible but not in my case. I'm not your typical princess, yes I wear a crown, fancy dresses and like sparkles but I also love archery, riding my horse and escaping from the castle ever so often. At times I want to be able to get away from all of the responsibility and have an adventure, meet someone new, fall in love. But with a stern father, a stuck in the middle mother, crazy sisters and a captain of the guard that wont leave me alone, how can I accomplish my dreams. So what do I do? I do what I what I always do. I escape the castle walls and go to my private little spot in the forest. Only this time its different.......I meet someone who turns my whole world upside down, my beloved. In the Kingdom of Quisqueya ... what could possibly go wrong?

Avalon Isn't What It Used To Be by A_L_untold

My mother says my endless curiosity and my need to venture is a curse. Though, I know she only says that because I'm just like my father; who went out to curb his appetite for new experiences and never came home. Do I feel abandoned? No. How could I? Not when I fully understand the craving... Fae almost never leave Avalon. It's rare, and normally Fae that leave Avalon are forced into exile. Hardly ever do they leave voluntarily. My mother hates to see me leave, and a part of me is ashamed to do so, seeing as I'm basically abandoning her like my father. But she has my baby brother, Almned, who isn't even 500 yet. And I'm one penalty away from serving time in the Avalonian Guardhouse. Which is ridiculous, considering I have only broken a few rules. Avalon used to be a vast place of freedom, a sanctuary for persecuted Fae, the Homeland where everyone had a voice. Well... Avalon is not what it used to be... Maybe the Otherworld will be big enough to spread my wings. *** What happens when a Fae leaves Avalon and befriends a Human? Yes, my book is rated mature. Though, it really isn't THAT bad. I really tried to keep it clean. Also, this is a part 1. Part 2 will come eventually.

We shall find our own Happy Ending by amey78

'Are you kidding me' That's what I thought as I find out I got reincarnated into so called Romantic Fantasy novel I read which of all the people I could've lived a normal life, I got reincarnated as Elisha Elizondo, a tragic character who dies by the hands of Male Lead's perverted dad after her own father force her became his concubine? Even my own siblings who died and have a horrible fate that ended with death and suicide? Oh, dear God. I'm flipping this forsaking plot. Screw this and my duke for being a fool. I run away with my siblings as disowning my very own 'father' as living secretly with my maternal grandfather, Marquess Valencia. While living few years with Grandpa, I meet the Villainess Rosabella Bardales who was in her weakest state and seems that she run away from her neglectful father and her abusive half-brothers. I felt sympathy for her, and I took her in by knowing her painful past. Seriously, why tragic people like her, and my siblings are always suffering by the same nonsense of our so called 'Families'? Even knowing why OG Elisha was chosen as the Male Lead's dad concubine. "Elisha, no matter what happens, I promised to be by your side...even if the world, calls you a witch or monster" I look back and seeing the Dragon Lord who looks at me gently and showing me some comfort. I smile before I look at him with pink dusts on my pale face. "Thanks, Draco. For being by my side, I appreciate it from the bottom of my heart". We shall find our happiness and have own Happy Ending.

Perfect Without Scars .{major Construction} by Estyshawl

Back in this day and age, royalty no longer wedded royalty, simply because everyone now wanted to marry for love. Which is why a union like ours would have effortlessly drawn the crowd; peharps more enemies than friends. The marriage of a blooded royalty to a birthed royalty. Blue blood to blue blood. A union like ours, was bound to change lives to come, generations, eras even, and unwittingly... The life of my unborn child. BUT EVERYONE'S FORGOTTEN ONE RULE. "For a union to be made, royalty or no royalty, the bride and groom at least have to be present. Vows can't be made, if one of the pair gets missing. Or absent. So what happens when the bride gets kidnapped and killed? No. Don't despair. That's not the end of everything; its just the beginning, for even ghosts and corpses still have to hold on to their important earthly commitments they had, before they died. And as I take in my last couple of breaths, nothing else rips my heart apart more than the fact that my own wedding, that is supposed to have me as its bride, goes on without me. An imposter in my spot? Convenient. I hope she's also prepared to fuck my husband on our wedding night too? Don't they know that Chris knows every inch of the body of the woman he fell in love with? He'd know.. He has to... They'll all have to know... I can't exit this way. ♣° ♣° ♣° ♣° ♣° ♣° ♣° ♣° ___________________ ∞~•♦|| " I no longer know if I'm dead or alive. A corpse or a ghost. I exist in two realms at the same time, I live in two worlds and two different time frames all at once, and I, Ajora, have fallen in love with two different men who know two very different and conflicting sides of me. This my story." ||♦•~∞ ___________________ ¶> ROMANCE ¶> FANTASY ¶> THRILLER EstherDibie (Estyshawl♥)...
