A best-selling novelist, Bri writes the stories of her dreams.  The swashbuckling pirate has haunted her mind since she was a child, yet the daring adventures and family-like-crew bring her a thrill she can't quite explain.  Things take an unexpected turn, though, when her dreams begin to lead into the real world... and the dangers she thought lived only in her imagination become real when she meets a man that reminds her a bit too much of a dangerous character from her books.

TW: violence, consent violations/loss of autonomy, stalking, extreme possessiveness/dark romance themes

All of my stories feature LGBTQ+ characters: in this novel, the MC is bisexual, and many of the supporting cast are also LGBTQ+.

Releases are WEEKLY on Sundays until the story is finished publishing.

This story started as a story for the #TheEternalThread2025 writing contest, then continued beyond into a much larger piece after I fell in love the characters.

200 parts Complete
[Multiple identities • Metaphysics • Strong female lead • Sweet yet chaotic romance] Fu Ningyuan, once the unrivaled leader of the Xuanmen sect, wakes up to find herself transmigrated, straight into the body of a "vicious supporting actress" from a tacky CEO romance novel. Her debut scene? A classic cliché. "One million. Leave my son." The CEO's mother sneered, tossing a check at her. Fu Ningyuan took one look at the noblewoman's dimming lifespan, accepted the money with poise, and calmly placed a talisman on the table. "The price of saving your life," she said lightly. "I'll take it." --- ...And thus began her infamous career as the "shameless freeloader" of the entertainment industry. Everyone despised her, until a single episode of a live variety show changed everything. The moment someone tried to humiliate her on camera, strange misfortunes began to strike. Cars broke down. Deals fell apart. Stars fell from grace. Then came the storm of public confessions: "Whoever bullies her is an enemy of the Qin family." - Patriarch Qin "Miss Fu's kindness is heavier than a mountain-she's like a second parent to me." - Head of the Zhou family "Without her, I would've been long dead." - Renowned fortune teller And just when the world began to wonder about her true identity- The man from the powerful Pei family finally stood up and said, in a dangerously low voice, "She's mine." Fu Ningyuan: "..." She never expected that the ruined life she was thrown into would one day dazzle the entire world.

She was the villainess who died loving the wrong prince. Now? She's got one rule: NO MORE ROYALS. In her first life, she was hopelessly obsessed with Duncan Davenford, Crown Prince of Ashtor. She chased him, humiliated herself, and turned into the girl everyone loved to whisper about. The villainess who fell too hard and crashed even harder. But fate gave her a second chance. This time, she's staying far away from the palace, the crowns, the drama and especially from heartbreak. All she wants is a peaceful, prince-free life. Too bad the universe is a troll. Because now there's another Crown Prince. He's cold, quiet, and way too attractive for her own good. And worse? He doesn't look at her like she's the villain. He looks at her like she's the story. And maybe this time, she is. ≿━━━━༺❀༻━━━━≾ Book Cover Illustrated by Mitoxicity Art Date Started: July 22, 2025 Status: On-going
