She wasn't born into magic or privilege. No fairy godmother was coming to save her. Just a messy house, cold looks, and a stepmother who made sure she knew her place. But this isn't a story about waiting for rescue-it's about rising up, rewriting the rules, and owning every part of your story. Welcome to the real Cinderella: tougher, smarter, and unapologetically herself.

Ella Langston's life was never a fairy tale. After losing her father, she's trapped under the roof of a cruel stepmother and two spoiled stepsisters-forced to give up her dreams, her freedom, and even her name. But everything changes the night of the royal ball. She's not supposed to be there. She's not supposed to wear a borrowed gown, or dance under the stars.

In this modern twist on a timeless story, love doesn't follow the rules. Ella didn't need a prince. She just needed one moment of magic-and a princess who saw her.

Breaking the Chains of Destiny
A Modern Royal Love Story Serena was supposed to be the villainess. In the world of Crowned by Love, she was fated to be Prince Kale Olliric's unwanted fiancée-arrogant, bitter, and doomed to be exiled when he fell for the novel's heroine. But Serena has a secret. She's not the same Serena. She woke up at the age of three with memories of her past life-a life where she had read this story before and knew exactly how it ended. Refusing to be a pawn in a tragic tale, she carves her own path, away from nobility and the royal court. Instead of chasing after a prince, she becomes a world-class athlete, an Olympic figure skater and a tennis champion. She builds her own fortune, invests wisely, and even opens her own teahouse-an escape from the chains of nobility. She is finally free. Or so she thought. When Prince Kale unexpectedly walks into her café, drawn to the woman who should have been his fiancée but has become something entirely different, Serena knows her carefully built walls are beginning to crack. He shouldn't care about her-she's done everything in her power to make sure of that. Yet, for the first time, the cold and untouchable prince seems intrigued. Now, Serena faces a choice: run further from fate or stand her ground against the prince who should have never noticed her. After all, she already defied the story once. What's stopping her from rewriting it completely? This is my original work, it is based on modern day royaltyComplete

Just Be The Extra (English Version) - COMPLETED
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.
