    HIGHEST RANKING #6 in HISTORICAL FICTION --- Amhuinn Kincaid, exiled from the Kincaid Clan, has spent the last three years as an outcast among the Highlands. She lived alone with her brother Tamhas, and the two siblings rely on each other. However, when her brother ended up in trouble and captured by their former clan, Amhuinn had no other choice but to turn to the clan closest to where she and Tamhas had made their home - no other than Hammond MacKenzie, the unsmiling Laird of the MacKenzie Clan. Hammond remembered meeting the blonde with a limp, just a year ago when he was on his way back from England. He had extended a helping hand back then, offering assistance should they ever need it. He hadn't given it much thought then, but he never expected her to turn up on his doorstep one fateful evening, firmly asking for his assistance and refusing to leave until he agreed to do so. Complying with her requests would mean putting his clan in danger... but it appears that the MacKenzie had found one minx, he would do anything for.

    "I used to run a multi-billion-dollar empire from a boardroom. Now, I'm running a harem from my bed-and the room service is appalling." Su Lin was the "Dragon Lady" of the corporate world-cold, calculating, and capable of firing a man with a single look. But after a freak accident, she's transmigrated into the body of a neglected, "weak" consort in the 4th Prince's palace. The original Su Lin was a pushover who died in silence. The new Su Lin? She's a predator. While the other concubines are busy weeping for the prince's attention, Su Lin is busy treating the Imperial Court like a hostile takeover: 📊 Performance Reviews: If a maid can't brew tea properly, she's getting a "Personal Improvement Plan." 📉 Budget Audits: Why are we spending 5,000 taels on incense when the snack selection is this pathetic? 💼 Hostile Takeovers: The palace isn't a home; it's a corporation. And Su Lin is coming for the CEO's chair. But there's a glitch in her plan: The cold-hearted 4th Prince, who once couldn't care less if she lived or died, is suddenly very interested in his "new" wife's sudden change in personality. He's intrigued, she's annoyed, and the ancient world isn't ready for a woman who treats a Royal Decree like a "suggestion" from HR. In a world of silk-wrapped daggers and poisoned tea, Su Lin has only one rule: Don't mess with her empire, and never touch her snacks. In a world of deadly scandals, she's the biggest one of all. ❤️🔥🐦🔥 ✨ WHY YOU'LL LOVE THIS: ✅ Badass Female Lead (No damsels here!) ✅ CEO x Prince (Power Couple energy) ✅ Transmigration / Isekai ✅ Slow Burn & Snarky Humour ✅ Historical Palace Drama

    In a kingdom ruled by men, Princess Roopmati was never meant to sit in council halls, speak of war, or understand power better than princes twice her age. But Roopmati was never born to remain silent. Raised beside a king who saw her mind before her gender, she grows into a woman feared as much as admired-sharp-tongued, politically dangerous, and unwilling to bow before a world determined to reduce her to beauty and marriage. Yet power comes with loneliness. Every decision is questioned. Every ambition is watched. Every mistake threatens to destroy the place she fought to earn. And then comes Veer. A soldier who refuses to flatter her. A bodyguard who challenges her instead of obeying blindly. A man who sees through the control she wears like armor. Their battles begin with arguments-cold, intelligent, relentless. But beneath the rivalry grows something far more dangerous: attention, obsession, and a connection neither of them can control. Because in a palace built on politics, loyalty is never simple... and love may become the most dangerous weakness of all. A story of ambition, power, jealousy, and slow-burning desire, *Roopmati* is a dark royal romance where hearts are guarded as fiercely as kingdoms.
