Katharine was a peasant girl, living in the streets of Paris when the Lady Eleanor found her and turned her into the a rich aristocrat. Posing as her cousin, she goes around to different parties enjoying the life of the rich. Everything was simple and free.
Until she met Drake. Overprotective and wanting, he claims her and seduces her into becoming his wife. And suddenly her life is a fairytale. He gives her everything she had ever wanted. He made sure she was worshipped by all and never treated any worse than a Queen would.

But what is the cost of it all?

She's A Villainess
A princess in a castle? Or a butcher in a crown? Hadley, the second daughter of the King and Queen of Laz-Isabel - a kingdom of magic and whispered spells - was no ordinary royal. Born of witches, she bloomed into power like a rose with thorns. On her eighteenth birthday, the castle gates opened wide. Music soared. Fireworks lit the sky. Nobles danced and commoners feasted. The kingdom rejoiced... not knowing doom was dressed in green dress. Among the guests was a handsome warlock, cloaked in charm and old magic. They said he was clever. They said he was strong. They said no beauty could undo him. But Hadley wasn't just beauty. She was ruin wrapped in silk. What happened that night? A kiss? A promise? A wedding? No. She slit his throat and smiled. Now, songs are sung of her smile - and prayers whispered in her shadow. For where the Princess walks, misfortune follows, trailing like a ghost in a bloody green gown. To break the curse entwined in her soul, she must bind her fate to a king - one damned by his own sins. He was older. Harsher. As wounded as he was dangerous. His touch burned, and his eyes... they saw through her. One forged by regret. One consumed by wrath. Together, they might rewrite fate - or bend his will to break the curse. Because Hadley was never meant to be the damsel. She was never meant to be the queen. She was meant to be the villainess.

And how could she go on, not fully knowing what her real identity meant?Concluida
Lament for My First Life
They called it an accident. The darkness that devoured her home, the tragedy that took her parents - all wrapped in whispered pity and silent relief. But for the young daughter left behind, it was the beginning of her descent into hell. Adopted by distant relatives who wore kindness like masks, she grew up as little more than a shadow within their house - unloved, unwanted, unseen. Her stepmother's hatred was venomous, her stepsister's laughter cruel. Denied an education, denied affection, she learned to survive on silence and obedience. Then came the Duke - handsome, powerful, the man promised to her stepsister. When his eyes strayed toward the forgotten girl, admiration blooming where disgust should have lived, the family's hatred ignited into something fatal. They killed her quietly, as if snuffing out a candle no one would miss. But death did not take her. She awoke again - in the body of her seven-year-old self, the day after the tragic accident that destroyed her family. Time had folded backward, granting her a cruel gift: memory. This time, she will not weep. This time, she will not kneel. With the knowledge of every betrayal and every grave that waits for her, she will twist fate itself - and turn the game that once destroyed her into her masterpiece.

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?Concluida
