Emily Bernard was just your average girl. Having just turned twenty-one she was finishing her final year of college, she is in the prime of her life.
Or, at least she was until she dies.
- until she should've died.
Awakening within a vast desert, Emily is thankfully saved by a group of passing tradesman - who take her in. There's just one problem - the world she finds herself in has no technology whatsoever and instead relies on magic, an ability which everyone excluding her has.
Oh, that and the fact that no one speaks the same language as her.
When she arrives in the city she finds herself at the mercy of the nation's Emperor - apparently he believes her to be the reincarnation of their creation goddess, and wants to make Emily his bride.
Amidst a world of magic, politics, desire, and intrigue will Emily be able to survive?

Forget the plot, let's become a Runaway Witch!
Isn't it said that you should give away what you don't use? After losing my life, I became the Villainess in a novel I didn't even finish. That was alright; I had asked for this second chance, after all. Even if I didn't think my desperate pleas were going to be answered like this, I would not waste this chance. Living with my family was comfortable, but my ambitions were big. Still, the first thing to do was to evade the death flags. For that, I have to evade the Crown Prince at all costs. As a commoner, if he sees me and takes me as a concubine like in the original, it will be very troublesome. But what is this!? Didn't my parents tell you I was sick? Go away and enjoy the festival, and leave me alone! We don't know each other! If he is so insistent on taking me with him, then there is no other choice: I will run away from home! Mother, father, Lanto...I'm sorry. I hope your heads don't roll because of this. I sincerely enjoyed our time together. I learnt a lot from my father. Maybe becoming a wandering witch is not so bad... ... Isn't this how reincarnation stories usually go? With an obsessed male lead who suddenly shows interest in the reincarnated protagonist? But I'm completely honest when I say I will never marry or fall in love with this dude. And no, it's not just the usual 'protagonist who will later be proved wrong' talk. I will not let this become a cliche, damn it!

The Art Of Getting Rich Again
She had it all-money, power, luxury. A brilliant businesswoman at the peak of success, she lived in a world where intelligence and cunning ruled. But in the blink of an eye, everything was taken from her. Struck by lightning and thrown into an unfamiliar medieval fantasy world, she wakes up with nothing. No wealth, no connections, no mana-not even a noble title. Just a sharp mind, a relentless drive, and a burning desire to reclaim the status she once had. In this new world where power is determined by bloodline, magic, and strength, she must outwit corrupt nobles, manipulate guilds, negotiate with criminals, and navigate a world filled with hidden dangers. Along the way, she gathers a small but loyal group of allies-a cold-hearted fallen noble, a thick-headed warrior, a skeptical scholar, and a seductive spy. With no magic of her own, she must use business, strategy, and deception to rise above the system. The world is against her, but she doesn't care. Because in the end, wealth isn't about magic or bloodline. It's about who plays the game better. And she intends to win.
I Got Stuck In My Favorite Webtoon
I'm stuck in a Webtoon. Sounds cool, right? No. I should have watched Love Game in Eastern Fantasy a little closer instead of skipping through half the series. The only way home? Convince the dangerously handsome Legendary General to gift me one of his most prized possessions. Will I survive long enough to find my way back or will I lose myself in a story that isn't mine? *** This is a work of fiction that's set in a fantasy world. While inspiration has been drawn from various historical and cultural elements of Imperial China, it should not be considered an accurate representation of the history, politics, social order, spirituality, philosophy, or customers of those eras. Also heavily influenced and inspired by Love Game in Eastern Fantasy.Complete
