#Transmigration She died choking on instant noodles while hate-reading a trashy palace novel. Next thing she knows, she wakes up as Lady Seo-Hwa, the gorgeous, evil villainess who gets strangled to death in chapter 42 for trying to poison the pure-hearted heroine. Hell no. Armed with full knowledge of the original story, our girl burns the poison, confesses in front of the entire court while wearing funeral white, and somehow ends up standing at the cold emperor’s right hand instead of in a prison cell. Emperor Taehyun was supposed to hate her. He was supposed to love the sweet transmigrated heroine and execute Seo-Hwa without a second thought. Instead he’s obsessed. Someone still wants the villainess dead (assassins in the night, red silk cords, betrayal in every shadow), but every attempt only pulls Taehyun closer. One brush of fingers turns into secret midnight dates outside the palace walls. One protective glare turns into scorching kisses under a full moon. She came here to survive. She never planned to make the most powerful man in the empire fall first… and fall hard. Now the real mastermind behind the murder plots is moving, the heroine is panicking, the Empress Dowager is sharpening her knives, and war is coming to the border. 150 chapters of slow-burn royal romance, bloody palace intrigue, and the most satisfying role-reversal ever: A villainess who refuses to follow the script… and the dragon emperor who will burn the kingdom down before he lets anyone take her from him. Perfect for readers who want: - Enemies-to-lovers (but he falls first and harder) - “I know the plot and I’m breaking it” energy - Possessive emperor + clever queen vibes - Lots of kissing in inappropriate places Get ready to root for the villainess. This time, she wins everything.

When struggling actor Liam Cross is gunned down during a bar robbery, he expects the lights to fade for good. Instead, he opens his eyes in a throne room surrounded by demons – standing inside a summoning circle meant to call forth an ancient Demon God. Only, the god never came. Just him. With no magic, no divinity, and no clue how he got there, Liam is mistaken for Azrakul, the Primordial Demon: a being of infinite power the Demon Queen desperately sought to save her crumbling empire. But when a mysterious System awakens, Liam learns the truth: He’s not a god… yet. [Designation: “Infernal Sovereign” — Activated.] [Requirement: Subjugate the Realm of Demons.] [Power Source: Fear. Faith. Belief.] The System doesn’t just grant strength. Instead, it feeds on the belief of others – turning fear, faith, and lies into real, tangible power. And as an actor who’s spent his whole life pretending to be something greater, Liam finally finds the role he was born to play. Now trapped among ancient monsters and scheming demon nobles, he must perform the part of a god convincingly enough to survive. Because if the demons ever discover he’s a fraud… He’ll die as the man he’s always been— or ascend as the monster he pretended to be.
