When an exhausted English teacher - half Chinese, half Indian - falls asleep after grading essays, she wakes up not in her Chicago apartment, but in the silk-draped chambers of a palace. She has become Princess Lianhua, the empire's youngest and only legitimate princess - adored by her royal family but infamous across the capital for her temper, arrogance, and jealousy.
Her heart once belonged to General Wei's eldest son, the stoic Young War God. But when her envy causes a terrible accident, she's banished to a border-temple to repent. Escorting her is General Wei's youngest son, lazy and careless - yet secretly the vessel of her modern-day childhood best friend, a decorated soldier who died apparently in a mission same time as her.
Now, the two reincarnated souls - an English teacher and a soldier - must survive ancient politics, rebuild their lives in exile, and uncover why they were brought back together... in bodies not their own.

Fateful Encounter
There lived a handsome prince engaged to the most beautiful woman in the world. Despite her beauty, she failed to capture the prince's heart. Instead, the prince fell for a rather average woman who also captured the heart of the cold, Second Prince. Blinded by jealousy, the beautiful woman was eventually killed by the Second Prince. The lesson of this story emphasizes that looks aren't everything, and what really matters is the 'true beauty' inside a person's heart. Yeon-Woo is a middle aged woman in her late 30s. After she passes away from a plane incident with her loving husband, she wakes up as Celine, the beautiful woman who is fated to die. As Yeon-Woo rewrites her story, she learns how to heal and love again. DISCLAIMER: although the story is mine, the art was not done by me!Complete

The Journey Forward | Novel Version
AN: I've finally begun to expand my 2023 Novella into a Novel, thanks to @LemuelMcMillan for reading the Novella and inspiring me to develop it. I plan to publish one chapter twice a month, although I may occasionally publish a bonus or catch-up chapter in between weeks if I'm able. ------------------------------ Between two worlds and two names, she must unearth the power within to shape her own future. ------------------------------- When Dr. Baiyu Tang volunteers for the Christmas night shift, she expects quiet halls and the usual sacrifices of an ICU physician. Instead, a catastrophic accident floods her small Midwestern hospital with patients, and one, a hauntingly calm man named Mr. Wei, changes everything. Hours later, a crash leaves Baiyu between life and death. She awakens not in a hospital bed, but in the silken red wedding chamber of Xiang Bai, a noblewoman in an ancient empire. The only clue to her fate is a keeper who claims she has been chosen, and a husband, General Bao, who is as honorable as he is enigmatic. As Baiyu navigates court politics, ancient customs, and her own haunting past, she must merge two lives, reconcile two hearts, and decide which world she truly belongs to. The Journey Forward is a sweeping tale of second chances, hidden power, and love that defies lifetimes. ------------------------- Based on my 2023 ONC Novella by the same name. ------------------------- © DCVBookfan.

The Villain Wants to Change

But on the day his younger siblings were born, he finally learned what it meant to feel... happy. But when an incurable illness ended his life, he awoke in the newborn body of Lysander Blakesty - one of the three leading villains of the novel he last read, Ways of the Mystic, who is doomed to die by the Prince's sword. With knowledge of the novel's events, and the memories of his past life, Do-woon is set to change Lysander's fate, and perhaps discover what it means to be human along the way. But who could've thought that the choices he would make would spark a romance between him... and the Prince?! *This is my own original work. No other work was plagiarized, and if so it is coincidental. *Credit to the original owner of the covert art.
One Way: Find the Destiny
One second that is all it takes to know something is wrong. It is that one second that the heart stops beating and the mind goes into a state of panic! What happened, you might ask? Well how do I explain this? The best and simplest answer would be that I don't know what happened at all. All I was doing was studying for an exam and here I was in a forest on the next one! Of course I was familiar with the term of transmigration but did this make sense? NO! So what the hell is going on? Who am I? Where am I?! And to make matters worse, I just found myself in a damn world filled with monsters, beasts, magic and demons. This was not what I was expecting to happen at all! This was all a nightmare and to top it off inside a book, one that I hated as well..... Screw IT and FATE! No one is telling me what to do! I will change the story line no matter what or everyone is doomed to die! A/N: Please excuse any mistake I am making in this. Feel free to correct me if you want as well. I hope you all can give this book a try and enjoy it ^^Complete
