I Am the Real One, So Why Am I Still Not Loved

Boredto_death0206
Riley Blake grew up believing he was ordinary—quiet, observant, and used to bearing responsibility for everything . No matter where he stood, trouble always seemed to find its way into his hands. It wasn’t until the truth surfaced that his life truly unraveled. Exchanged at birth, Riley is the *real* young master of the powerful Reynolds family—yet when he finally returns to them, there is no warmth waiting. His real family sees him as an outsider. Every mistake, every conflict, every misfortune somehow becomes Eli’s responsibility, while the one who took his place is cherished and protected. That person is **Liam**—the boy raised as the Reynolds’ precious young master, born into poverty but given everything Riley never had. Loved by the family, admired by peers, and shielded from consequences, Liam’s life seems perfect… until a dream changes everything. In that dream, Liam realizes he is living inside a novel—and that he is destined to be the *fake young master*. In order to prove his dream wrong , Liam begins searching for the real heir long before the truth is exposed. At first, he believes Riley might be a lost relative. Then a DNA test shatters reality. As Riley struggles under the rejection of his real family and the weight of accusations he never deserves, fate quietly moves in the shadows . What begins as coincidence slowly turns into inevitability. This is a long journey of misunderstandings, quiet devotion, emotional growth, and hard-earned affection—where fate is cruel, identities are questioned, and love burns slowly but relentlessly across their life.

Reincarnated as the Villainess — So I’ll Become the Most Iconic One

I died in Tokyo. Stupid way to go—literally hit by a delivery truck while thinking about instant ramen. Then I woke up in Isabel Nyx Raven's body. The villainess. The one the entire kingdom despises. The one who dies screaming in every single game route. Here's the thing though: if I'm DOOMED anyway, I might as well be LEGENDARY. So I learned dark magic from a 70-year-old grimoire keeper who looks like death personified. I corrupted the Crown Princess into practicing forbidden curses. I publicly humiliated Prince Aldric in front of the entire court and made it CLEAR that I'm not the desperate girl who needs his approval—I'm the one he should be terrified of. I built a cult of students who will commit crimes just to impress me. I made a deal with a sarcastic Shadowviper familiar. I caught the attention of a dangerously charming foreign prince who practices dark magic openly and looks at me like he understands exactly what I am. And I did it all while walking a razor's edge between genius and catastrophe—one misstep away from heresy charges, underworld entanglement, and the Crown declaring war on my house. The church is investigating me. Rival kingdoms are circling. My fiancé hates me. The underworld thinks I'm their newest weapon. And Prince Riku? He's either going to be my greatest ally or my most beautiful disaster. But here's what they don't understand: I'm not playing to survive. I'm playing to be UNFORGETTABLE. Even if it kills me, I'm going to make sure the world never forgets the name Isabel Nyx Raven. Watch me burn it all down. (("I will be posting this story on RoyalRoad.com))
