In a world defined by its end, a promise is all Ruby has left. A hardened survivor, she swore to protect her three younger siblings in the harsh reality of their apocalyptic home. But a moment of weakness, a simple collapse from exhaustion, lands her in an unbelievable new reality: she's woken up as the despised villainess of a ridiculous fictional romance novel.
Trapped in a life of luxury and deceit, she's no longer the fighter she was. Now, she's the villainess everyone fears, known only for her greed and cynical disdain. The stakes couldn't be higher. No one believes she's Ruby, a desperate woman racing against time to get back to her family. With every passing moment she spends in this fabricated world, her siblings' lives hang in the balance. Will they die waiting for her? Will they go looking for her? Or will they simply believe she abandoned them? Ruby must find a way back, or lose everything she's ever fought for.

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
