Title: Kasarinlan Note: This is a fantasy story infused with Philippine history, set in an alternate world. Tagline: "Freedom, Unity, Peace, The three symbols a nation needs to fight against foreign oppression. But what happens when those who embody and deliver these qualities clash in their methods and beliefs on how to protect the nation they are meant to safeguard?" Plot: For over 500 years, the powerful nation of Spain has colonized the Philippines, treating it as one of its colonies. Due to countless failures and defeats of Filipino heroes and revolutionaries, the people gradually lost the courage to reclaim their homeland from the colonizers. With hope fading, Filipinos eventually surrendered and accepted Spanish rule over their nation. Over the centuries, Spanish governance grew increasingly cruel toward the country's citizens, dividing Filipino society into two classes: Honorary Spaniards or "Hilaw" (as the Spanish call them): These are Filipinos who abandoned their Filipino identity to become "adopted childre ton of Spain" in exchange for certain privileges in the country. Low-Class Citizens or "Indio" (as the Spanish call them): These are Filipinos from poor families, stripped of numerous privileges and rights in their own land. Due to their low social status, they are often oppressed, abused, and unable to defend themselves in any court or legal system in the country.

Excerpt Aristia could not help but stare at the platinum blonde a few steps in front of her. She seemed to sparkle with a glow that drew people in around her. Something that only happened to the main character of a novel. [Is that stupid book sure I'm the female lead?] She thought, her jaws almost going slack. At this point, she was sure she was deluding herself— or the book was deluding her. She didn't know why, but she already disliked the girl. [This is definitely not jealousy.] She rubbed her brows, watching how the innocent, naive looking girl exuding female lead aura was being flocked around already by others despite her low status. "F*ck, I'm really in deep shit!" — Aristia Andrews had just returned home from work and prepared to go to sleep, when she was given a novel. Nothing strange about that though, huh? But just after she had completed the novel, she woke up to find herself tossed into a whole new world. Taken from her world and the life she deemed perfect, and tossed into a not-so-ideal world. She becomes Aristia Amberale, the beloved five year old daughter of the only Grand Duke and Imperial Prince of the kingdom, said to be loved by all in the kingdom. Now part of royalty, she has to get accustomed to living in a backward world of Kings and Queens, Dukes, Marquises, Earls, Viscounts and Barons. Just the titles and hierarchy were enough to make her smart head spin. With beautiful and loving parents and relatives, a hopelessly adorable younger brother who just might be a sis-con, loyal-to-the-death servants, and a smart brain, join Aristia as she enjoys eating and making delicious cuisines, forms unique friendships, and creates successful businesses. However, she finds all is not as she thought it was; there just might be something bigger than she expected that the book did not reveal— something that could turn her well balanced world upside down. First of all, she discovers that her character is actually hated and not loved. Then, she finds out she's not really the female lead. Now... she has a lot of mysteries surrounding her to unfold, secrets to uncover, and a sad fate to avoid. But... "Hey, why are you looking at me with those eyes? The female lead is over there." "You, stop following me around, will you? You're supposed to hate me!" "Stay back, all of you! What's wrong with you?!" But most importantly... why are these obviously important characters not leaving her alone? And why was the cold, unloving soon-to-be Emperor husband of that powerful Empire paying attention to her instead of the female lead? It wasn't supposed to be like this...

Forced to serve on the brutal campaign against the Jin, he must use his knowledge to survive and rise to the top, in a place where his scapels are as vital as swords.

"Then keep watching me. Judge me by my actions, not by which cultivation path they come from. If I start hurting innocents, you can kill me yourself." Gu Feng wakes up into the body of the last heir of a massacred martial clan in a world where righteousness and pragmatism are locked in eternal war. The death has given him a second chance, to walk on both paths without falling. The sects call him dangerous, and the others calls him a traitor. But they all will learn the hard way. The most dangerous cultivator isn't the strongest or the purest. It will be the one willing to forge his own path.

In the waning years of Joseon, secrets move faster than the wind—yet none as deadly as Gyeon Hana, the kingdom’s most feared and nameless assassin. Raised in the shadows, Hana knows only one rule: Kill first. Don’t be seen. But when a mission goes horribly wrong, she is forced into hiding. To disappear completely, Hana steals the identity of a dead noble scholar and enters the prestigious Hwarang Academy, a place where the kingdom’s brightest minds—and most dangerous eyes—reside. There, she meets Seon Woojin, an elite scholar favored by the palace, brilliant but cold, and known for sensing lies like a hawk. Unfortunately for Hana, he immediately notices something off about the quiet “scholar” who never removes their gloves and writes with the precision of a fighter, not a gentleman. As political assassinations spread across the capital, Woojin is tasked with uncovering the culprit. Unbeknownst to him, the person he seeks sits right across from him during morning lessons. But danger stirs in the shadows. Hana’s old master discovers she is alive—and defects to work for the palace’s enemies. Hana must decide: protect the one man who sees through her, or run before he uncovers her bloody past. Yet Woojin is already falling—slowly, dangerously—for the scholar who isn’t what they seem. And in Joseon, love between a noble and an assassin can only end in two ways: A shared destiny… or a shared grave.

Dr. Laurine Samaniego, a young genius doctor known for her brilliance and compassion, thought her story had ended when her plane went down in flames. But when she opens her eyes again, she’s not in a hospital—she’s in a lavish, baroque-style palace straight out of a fantasy novel she once read. A maid rushes in, tears of relief in her eyes. “Princess Amethyst! You’re awake!” Wait—Princess Amethyst? As in the tragic princess from that old romance book who dies before the story even begins?! Now trapped in the body of Princess Amethyst Celestria Rosaire IV, the doomed royal from fiction, the young doctor must use her modern medical knowledge—and her quick wit—to survive royal intrigue, heal a kingdom cursed by disease, and rewrite the fate of the story itself. But when she catches the eye of the very duke who was destined to betray her… she realizes that love might be the hardest diagnosis of all.

"The masterminds are cooler than heroes," I mutter as I stare at the chess pieces before me. It is easier to be the one who sits in the shadows and moves the pieces, likewise deciding the flow of the game. Heroes will foolishly sacrifice their lives for the good cause and villains will sacrifice the world for their own gain, but masterminds will use both the heroes and villains to their own benefit. Why, you ask? Well, that's because I've lost my life once while trying to be a hero so, I don't want that anymore. I'd rather be a mastermind who molds the world as per my convenience and live peacefully. Because, why not? *** [Defender of Divine Glory says you are the hope of this world.] What? [Goddess of Wisdom believes that you will be the one to save the world.] Wait, what?! [Propose the Grand Duke the idea of a fake marriage.] And, why would I do that?! [Stop the assassination of Prince Eric.] Why would I save him?! [The candidates for the throne are:... Who will you choose?] Ah! I give up... It seems like a curse that anyone who wishes for a slacker life in Isekai will have to go through the most troublesome things. In my past life, I died because of one rookie mistake but after being transmigrated in the world of fantasy I've gotten an opportunity to start afresh, but unlike the protagonists who look for their love and glory, I'd rather make money and live a life of a slacker. I have magic, I have power and I have money, what else do I need? Well, that was the plan but this damn system is getting on my nerves. I mean who in their sane mind would want to mess with the complicated royal family and political affairs? But that's not all though. I've also become the saviour of this world. Things just can't be anymore worse! Besides, the penalty of failing this quest is... [Failure: Destruction of the World.] It seems like if I screw up in selecting the right person then the destruction that is going to befall the world won't be stopped. If I speak of my reward then it's this vague thing. [Reward: Fulfillment of any wish.] "If that's the case then, I'd rather choose the person who would be the best fit for the throne." And that's how I decided that I would become the Kingmaker.
