She woke up inside a romance novel... as the villainess.
And the system only gave her one command:
Steal the male lead from her best friend.
Failure means erasure. Not death-worse. Non-existence.
Elara was never meant to be the heroine.
She was never meant to be loved.
But in a world where affection can be measured, tracked, and manipulated... love becomes a game.
A dangerous one.
A fragile girl with a borrowed face.
A kind best friend who trusts her too much.
And a cold billionaire who slowly starts looking at her like she matters more than he should allow.
The more perfectly she plays her role...
the more something inside her begins to break.
Because winning his heart is easy.
Keeping her own might be impossible.
And the system doesn't allow hesitation.

She rises to become a hidden big boss in many fields, in total control of everything-except her brother. ***Excerpt*** His calloused finger traced her nape sensually as he pinned her against the wall, towering above her. She bit her lip to stifle a moan and carefully called out, "Jayden?" He hummed lightly in response, his hand never stopping. "I-What are you doing?" He smirked, his attractive blue eyes shining affectionately as his hand moved down. "Doing you." Alright, she couldn't understand him at all! Note: The main leads aren't related; they just address each other as brother and sister since they grew up together. Thanks for reading in advance.

Ashes Of Love, Flames Of Revenge
For three years, Gu Lianhua, the hidden heiress of China's second-wealthiest family, devoted her life to a man she believed was her destiny. Stripping away her noble identity, she worked tirelessly in cafés and as a delivery girl, enduring scorn from her boyfriend Zhao Rui's family. By day, she scrubbed floors; by night, she hid her genius in programming and stock trading, amassing a secret fortune meant as a gift for their future together. But love betrayed her. Zhao Rui took a mistress-Shen Meilin, an illegitimate child of a distant branch who falsely claimed to be the Gu family's beloved granddaughter. When Rui and his family chose Meilin over Lianhua, discarding her with cruelty and humiliation, Lianhua's fragile devotion shattered. What Rui did not know was that he had scorned the true Gu heiress. Behind her quiet endurance stood three fiercely protective brothers and a secret engagement to the heir of China's wealthiest Lee family. Lee Jianyu, broad-shouldered and powerful, had never forgotten the petite girl who defended him when he was a mocked, overweight teenager. He had waited years for her return-and now, he would burn the world to protect her. From ashes of love, flames of revenge will rise. Rui, Meilin, and all who scorned her will regret their cruelty, as Lianhua ascends not only as the Gu heiress but as a queen of her own making. At her side will stand Jianyu-the man who saw her when she was invisible, and loved her when the world turned away. This is a tale of betrayal, hidden identity, vengeance, and love reborn.Complete

Crown Prince's Forgotten Ex Fiancée
Maya Tan, an overworked editor with a broken family life, dies while saving a child on a rainy night. But when she opens her eyes again, she finds herself in the world of a novel she once edited-inside the body of Seraphina D'Armont, the notorious villainess betrothed to the Crown Prince. In the original story, Seraphina was destined to fall into jealousy, scheme against the heroine, and meet a tragic end. But Maya refuses to let her second life end in misery. With memories of her past life and the knowledge of the novel's plot, she vows to change Seraphina's fate. Instead of playing the villain, she will rewrite her role-earning respect, seeking happiness, and perhaps, capturing the heart of the very man who was never meant to love her. But the world of the novel doesn't follow the script so easily. New dangers stir, characters act beyond their written roles, and the Crown Prince begins to see a side of his fiancée that was never in the story. Can Maya, the once-forgotten editor, turn the villainess's tragedy into a story of redemption and love? Notes from author: hello everyone this is my first story that i wrote here. I hope everyone can give this story love and care.Complete
