Eleanor Thorne, a wealthy heiress, is despised by everyone, even her own family. Despite the constant negativity, she thrives through sheer determination and ambition. However, her life takes an unexpected turn when a drunk driver crashes into her car, sending her soul hurtling into the pages of a Victorian romance novel she once read. Eleanor awakens in the body of Evelyn, the villainess wife of the Duke of Blackwood. In the novel, Evelyn is destined to be killed for her relentless harassment of the heroine, Amelia. Armed with this knowledge, Eleanor vows to rewrite her fate. Adapting to the strictures of Victorian society proves challenging, but Eleanor's modern sensibilities clash with the established norms. As she navigates the intricate social circles, she encounters the stoic Duke, whose initial coldness gradually melts away, revealing a potential for connection. However, escaping her predetermined villainous role isn't as simple as she anticipated. The deeper she delves into the story, the more she uncovers hidden truths. Amelia might not be the innocent victim she appears to be, and the reasons behind Eleanor's ostracization in both worlds begin to intertwine. Eleanor must confront her own past mistakes and prejudices while navigating the complex web of societal expectations and blossoming love. Can she break free from the shackles of her predetermined fate and find redemption, not just in the eyes of others, but within herself?All Rights Reserved

Just Be The Extra (English Version) - COMPLETED by ariacle

Note: The english and extended version. Veronica, the Duchess of Audovera, was renowned as the most breathtaking woman in the kingdom, but her beauty was matched only by her reputation for arrogance and indulgence. Her life had always been one of luxury and excess-until the day her husband, the Duke, left for war. It was then, amidst the emptiness of their grand estate, that something within her stirred. Memories of another life flooded her mind, revealing a shocking truth: she had reincarnated into the body of the villainess from a fantasy-romance novel she once read. The plot was clear, and her fate was sealed. Her husband, the Duke-the novel's male protagonist-would soon fall in love with the saintess he met during the war. Upon his return, he would demand a divorce, casting Veronica aside. But the story didn't stop there. Left to stew in her bitterness, the villainess would meet a tragic end at his hands. But this Veronica was different. Armed with knowledge of the story's events, she resolved to take a different path. She would play her role with grace, sign the divorce papers without a fight, and step out of the limelight. Peace, freedom, and a quiet life were her new goals. Three years passed. The war ended, and the Duke returned. Veronica, prepared for her fate, was ready with her pen poised over the divorce papers. Yet, to her growing confusion, the Duke didn't say a word about separation. His eyes, once cold and distant, now lingered on her with an intensity she didn't recognize. "Why hasn't he asked for a divorce?" she wondered, her perfectly laid plans beginning to crumble. As she grapples with her husband's inexplicable behavior, Veronica must navigate a new and unpredictable future. Can she successfully avoid the villainess's doomed path, or is she destined to play a different role altogether?
