Ashes and Embers
Mara comes from a poor background, fighting from a young age to make something of herself. This led her to the academy, a military recruitment organization where solider bled and where spirits were broken. Its where HE is...where he grew up, Kael..... Kael is arrogant, prideful and infuriating. The golden boy, the standard, the heir of power. What happens when Mara and Kael find themselves thrown together in the academy? Working together against odds stacked against them from the corruption of power. Will they overcome these trials together? Or will they both be destined to fail? ------------------------------------------------------------------ This is a slowburn, enemies to lovers story. Its a work in progress and its not perfect. I'm just a girl who loves dystopian stories and who lives inside her mind wanting to create a simple story with some of my favorite/common tropes. Like I said this story isn't PERFECT, I wrote this many years ago and I've just never published it anywhere. So I understand it can be a bit confusing. But I tried to fix it up and I'm adding to it.

A Bloom Forgotten By Time
I was reincarnated into another world... as Cami, the youngest son of the empire's greatest merchant family. At first, I thought it would be a blessing. I mean, being born rich should make life easy, right? Wrong. I'm not the protagonist-I'm the side villain. In this empire, status means nothing without talent. And talent? Yeah... that's something Cami never had. Among his dazzlingly gifted family, he was branded worthless and mocked so much that resentment started to settle in. As a final attempt to "fix" him, his father sent him to the empire's most prestigious academy. You'd think it would help, right? Nope. It only ruined his reputation further-and in spectacular fashion. Now that I'm living his life, I have a choice... Do I follow the dark path everyone expects and fall as the villain, or do I try to change his fate-and maybe mine too? --- This is a fan-made version of "A Genius or an Idiot" written by HeHeHiHiieee. English isn't my first language, so I'm sorry if there are any mistakes 😅. I'll also be changing a lot of parts of the story, so it may differ from the original. All credits to the original author.

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?Complete
The Duke's Maiden
Archibald Collin's life is suffocatingly dull. A forgettable accountant with a two first names, a placcid personality, and a plain face, he finds solace only in his cat and the rigid monotony of his routine. So, when a glowing circle appears on his office bathroom floor, his first thought wasn't magic, but rather 'hallucinations due to too much overtime'. He was wrong.

Now, bound to a grumpy, sickly duke and trapped in a world of vibrant magic, Archibald must navigate his own deep seated anxieties and insecurities. But as a real connection forms with Blythe, Archie is forced to ask himself: is he merely a last resort, or could he truly be the salvation for a man barely knows?Complete
