The Regressed Villainess Refuses to Die this Time

"How pathetic..." So this is how I die? "After everything I sacrificed for him... after bearing the weight of an entire household's hatred, this is how my story ends?" I could barely breathe. My blood stained the marble floor beneath me, and my vision slowly began to blur. Yet, through the haze, I could still see him. "Ah... there you are." My husband. "Those beautiful golden locks... those piercing blue eyes. The very eyes I once thought would look at me with affection." He stood before me, visibly shaken. His usually composed expression had crumbled, his eyes wide with something I couldn't quite understand. "What's wrong, Your Grace? Are you frightened?" I let out a bitter laugh, though it sounded more like a broken gasp. "Don't worry. I won't be an inconvenience to you anymore." He took a step towards me, his lips parting as though he wanted to say something. But I was too tired to listen. "Are you thinking about how to dispose of my body? Or perhaps how to explain my unfortunate death to your precious younger brother and his beloved fiancée?" Of course. It had always been her. "Lady Seraphina. The sweet, innocent fiancée. The woman whose virtues you never stopped praising. The woman against whom I was constantly measured." "And me? Your inconvenient wife. Your family's supposed villainess. The wicked woman who could never do anything right in your eyes." I had spent years trying to earn his affection. I had swallowed insults, endured humiliation, and played the part of a dutiful duchess, all because I foolishly believed that one day he might look at me the way he looked at her. "How amusing... I wasted my entire life loving a man who couldn't even stand the sight of me." My fingers trembled as I reached towards him, but my hand fell before it could touch his clothes. "If only..." My consciousness began to fade. "If only I could live again..." My lips curved into the faintest smile. "No more obedience. No more sacrifices. No more begging for scraps of affection." "If fate ever grants me another life, I swear..." "I will not be the woman who desperately seeks her husband's love." "I will not be the woman who tolerates humiliation for the sake of a marriage." "And I certainly will not play the villainess merely because everyone has already decided that I am one." "No..." My final breath escaped me. "I will become a real villainess." "I will take everything I desire. I will destroy anyone who dares stand in my way. I will live for myself, laugh for myself, and love only when I choose to." "And you, my dearest husband..." I will make you regret the day you ever looked down upon me.

Vinland Kingdom - Race Against Time

An ordinary young man lives his life day to day, without going through any unusual experiences. He hasn't achieved anything remarkable. He has a job like any other, has a couple of close friends, but being in a similar situation, they can't go out and enjoy themselves, and he hasn't had a girlfriend. However, his life suddenly changes. He falls ill. He doesn't know if his destiny was to spend the rest of his life in a hospital, or if he would be able to recover from this illness and return to his tortuous life. But karma changes his destiny and reincarnates him in a new world, or rather, an alternate Earth. In this new world, he must start from scratch, and not just rhetorically. He must lead the village hidden in the mountains where he was reborn through a complete transformation if he wants to survive the challenges he will face in the future. Not only must he face small local villages, but he must also grow up between two great empires, only to be able to face a power greater than those lands have ever seen. The Arrival of the Colonizers. . ---- . This is a novel where the protagonist is reborn in one of the pre-Hispanic peoples, in present-day Colombia, a few years before the arrival of the Conquistadors of America. He must grow his people from a much less developed one, compared to the European powers of the time, to a kingdom capable of defending its territory from the many encounters with ships from the Atlantic. The initial development will be quite rapid and will be based on the protagonist as the leader of a new kingdom, bringing basic technologies from the future. The protagonist will have a harem, which is part of the customs of this people. In case you want to look it up, the people are called "Muiscas." I suggest using the Spanish language on Wikipedia and then translating it into your language with the translator available on your device, as the information is much more complete in this language. Also, I would like to clarify, as a curious fact, that it is thanks to this people that the legend of "El Dorado" is known. . ---- . GENRES: ACTION/ROMANCE/KINGDOM-BUILDING/HAREM/R-18/WARS/TECHNOLOGY/ANCIENT TIMES/STRATEGY/RELIGION/REINCARNATION/ADVENTURE/GENIUS/HIGHIQ/CONQUER . ---- . By the way, my native language is not English, in case you haven't noticed, and I rely on several very sophisticated translation tools (Google).

Chakravartin - From a Clerk's Son to Emperor of India

In 2025, Eshaan Vikram Shresth is an archaeology professor at the New Nalanda University - brilliant, overlooked, and quietly consumed by a love of civilizations that died before the world could appreciate them. When he follows a hidden alignment in the ruins of the original Nalanda into a subterranean sanctum, he stumbles upon a secret the world has kept for over two millennia. The Nine Unknown Men, the legendary society founded by Emperor Ashoka the Great after the Kalinga War, are real. They have kept their vigil across centuries, guarding nine books of knowledge so dangerous that no single era could be trusted with them. And one of those books - the Ninth, has been waiting. For him. The Quill of Sociogenesis, dark and iridescent and impossibly alive, does not ask Eshaan's permission. It chose him. And next thing Eshaan knew, he is ten years old, frail, suffering from a disease and lying in a clerk's house in Pataliputra and the year is 1178 CE. He carries two things into this new life: the accumulated knowledge of a modern historian who has spent his career studying exactly what went wrong with India, and the mark of a cosmic mandate written in his own flesh. He knows the invasions coming. He knows the betrayals, the fractures, the missed chances. He has read every book, studied every empire that rose and fell in this soil. Now he will build the one that doesn't. Disclaimer - This Novel series is an Isekai medieval India historical fantasy. I don't wish to hurt anyone's feelings and would like to trace an alternative history for Indian Subcontinent, exploring the possibilities if the events unfolded in a different way and also with fantasy elements like divine weapons from mythologies, but those elements doesn’t appear until later.
