Everyone thinks Lady Virelle D'Argent is here to cause chaos.
Raised by a terrifyingly ambitious mother, blessed with noble blood, and dressed like a villain in a romantic tragedy, Virelle was expected to destroy reputations, steal the spotlight, and seduce the most powerful man in court.
She had other plans.
Specifically: naps. Quiet corners. Avoiding conversation.
But in a world where everyone's playing a dangerous social game, Virelle's refusal to play is the most unpredictable move of all. And when the cold-hearted duke's heir starts spending time with her - not for strategy, but for peace - things begin to unravel in all the wrong ways.
She's not scheming.
She's just tired.

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

Learning to be a Vampire
"Fernanda, I'm serious!" Mother yelled again. "It isn't some nasty old hag! Come and see!" "I'm coming, hold on a second!" Fern yelled back, stumbling over the used towels as she exits the bathroom. "Um, Ma? Where are you?" Suddenly Ferns dark grey bedroom curtains open to reveal a very excited looking mother. This can't be good. Nothing good ever happens when someone appears from behind curtains. "Mother, I don't think I want to go--hey!" Fern pretested but was cut off by her mother pulling her into the curtains. But oh man, mother was right. It most certainly was not an old hag. The exact opposite really. Standing outside, across the road at the newly bought house was one attractive man, minus a shirt and add some sexy muscles covered in sweat from hauling furniture and that equals one drooling girl and a perverted mother for checking the man out.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?Complete

My Most Tragic Villainess
"If you don't get enough sleep, you'll die." Is something that I've just figured out lately. With a 14 days of not sleeping streak, the light came and took me to another world. A world of novel, my novel. You see, I was up all night for the whole 2 weeks writing my novel named "Dreadful love". It had a decent amount of readers. And I, the author is famous as well, why's that? Because my novels are known to always have legendary tragic twist and turns, I even kill my lead characters, Hehe. So I transmigrated... To my own novel... And it just had to be this one. And I just had to be the villain... Though it's all goods, since all the characters have tragic lives. But this person that I'm in is ten times more tragic than all of the other characters! She- not important.
