After ending her life to escape relentless bullying and emotional exhaustion, a nameless girl awakens in the fragile body of a six-year-old noble child. But this isn't a second chance-it's a new hell.
She has been reincarnated into the body of the West Duke's hidden daughter, a child locked away in the basement, neglected and abused by the very family meant to protect her. Isolated, bruised, and numb, she accepts her fate in silence.
But fate shifts when the feared and mysterious North Duke visits the West in search of an heir. Amidst a sea of noble children, it is the broken girl with dead eyes he notices. Something in her stillness, her silence, her scars - calls to him.
What follows is a slow-burning tale of healing, power, and the struggle to find a reason to live again - in a world both cruel and magical.

You Only Live Twice (Discontinued-ish)
Olivia was your average 18 year old girl. Keyword, 𝙬𝙖𝙨, until she drowned in a lake and woke up in a crappy novel her friend recommended to her. The character she'd been convinced to read it for ended up being a small-time, side villain that disappeared half-way through the story, Olivia Auclair, the duke's sickly eldest daughter with the same first name as her. And just as her luck would have it, she now is living as that Olivia. Truthfully, she barely knew what she was getting into or why she was sent here after death in the first place. The only recollection she had of the story was the spoiled, self-centered heroine, Angelica, with a generic backstory and extremely overpowered abilities, the main characters who surround her, and of course, her hatred for the fictional book. Her saving grace to stay alive and well? Well of course it is to befriend the two most prominent characters within her reach, the antagonist and the male lead. Both of which eventually would be roped into the heroine's harem, but if all went right then hopefully by then she wouldn't have anything to worry about. Unfortunately, her plan backfired some where along the way, and now she is faced with the heroine's silent wrath and jealousy, her pawns overprotectiveness, an adopted noble's persistence, family drama, and the ever enclosing end of the story. What's a girl to do in her second life except lie down and accept her impending doom? -> Currently being rewritten!!! <-

I WANT TO BE THE VILLAINESS!!
✨ If death is the only escape... then I'll choose the most dramatic way to die✨ Lia Everhart never expected to open her eyes in the world of her favorite novel. But after falling into a coma in the real world, she realizes one thing: If she doesn't die in this world, she can't return to her body. So, instead of living peacefully as a forgettable side character, Lia boldly chooses the most entertaining death route she can think of- becoming the villainess. " I could've died in many ways.. Maybe stabbing myself, cutting my nerves or even drinking poison! Well since I had to die, in one way or the other, then why don't I try it in an interesting way ! What if I become the villainess?? She plots dramatic schemes, steals the spotlight, and even rescues the original villainess just for fun. Everything is going smoothly... until the story twists out of control. The heroine dies instead of her. The villain survives. Lia does NOT. Expecting to finally wake up- She doesn't. Instead, she opens her eyes in a second reincarnation, this time as Luna Estene, the pampered daughter of a powerful duke. And waiting for her is a smug, glitchy system announcing: "New life. New rules. Complete all five missions to return. Mission One: Seduce the villain." The villain-Caylum Morvane-is cold, sharp-tongued, and completely immune to her charms. Worse, the original heroine is still alive in this world... and destined to fall for him. Now Luna must flirt, manipulate, and survive every death flag while the system cackles in her ear. She only wants to die gracefully and go home, but fate seems obsessed with keeping her alive. Because this time, the villain might fall first. And Luna might live long enough to regret it.Complete

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?
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.Complete
