From overworked corporate slave to… the fat niece of a future villain? At twenty-three, my life ended in the most ironic way possible, drowning in a lake while reading an online romance novel. When I woke up, I wasn’t just alive, I was inside that very novel. And worse, not as the princess or the healer or even the tragic maid. No. I woke up as Seraphine Agro, the silver-haired, chubby niece of the story’s main villain, Duke Tayler Agro, the man who would one day summon a famine, experiment on peasants, and get publicly executed. Awesome. Now I’m stuck in a half-collapsed mansion with stale soup, a broken “Duke” father who’s too kind for his own good, and an entire kingdom collapsing into plague and hunger. And to make things worse, the hero of the story—the dangerously handsome knight Sir Alex Canva, is on his way to inspect our lands. I know the plot. I know who dies. And I’m not planning to go quietly. Armed with sarcasm, stubbornness, and a questionable diet, I’m rewriting destiny, one disastrous choice at a time.

Is there a more boring word than "paperwork"? Try me. I’ll wait. Ya done? Good because you failed. Paperwork is the king of boredom, yet it is fundamental to human endeavor. Every success nation possesses an effective bureaucracy, is the difference between life and death. The year is 300 AD, and Rome has built a civil service. Paper moves faster than people, and the wasted resources of Rome are wasted no more. Their cities grow, their armies march, and their currency works. All seems well, but when paper moves the world, people who moved paper start to notice. Prepare one and all for Paperpunk, either the most boring or most exciting thing you will ever consider. Steam and gunpowder may be exciting but paperwork is what will make Rome eternal.

One Empire fallen. Five Kings rising. One Prince to unite them all. For generations, the Hurbala Empire was the golden heart of the world, a bastion of peace held together by the wisdom of King Hudal. But in a single night of fire and betrayal, the sun sets on the old world. King Hudal is slain, the legendary Queen Hasha is spirited away in chains to the distant Sunspire Fortress, and the crown—the symbol of absolute unity—is shattered into five jagged shards. Into the smoking ruins steps Basyar, a prince crowned too soon, inheriting nothing but a broken throne and a kingdom surrounded by wolves. As the empire splinters into rival realms, Basyar must embark on a desperate odyssey across a world transformed by war: The Shadowhold Forests: Where he must outwit King Zin Baraji in a deadly game of guerrilla ambushes and jungle duels. The Zuelda Marshes: Where the "Chem-King" Vectlar unleashes poisoned rivers and terrifying siege engines, testing Basyar’s endurance to the breaking point. The Asvalte Mountains: Where he must lead his people against armored war elephants in narrow, frozen passes. The Yilmaz Coast: Where the final trial awaits—a naval war against the "Eastern Tide" to reclaim his mother and his heritage. Basyar does not march alone. At his side stand the Ten Pillars of the Crown—an ensemble of legendary specialists, from the silent clawed assassin Faradee to the iron-willed shield-bearer Hujeena. Together, they must prove that wars are won not just by the edge of a blade, but through the brilliance of strategy, the weight of diplomacy, and the unbreakable bonds of loyalty. In a world where betrayal is the only currency and every ally hides a dagger, Basyar must learn what it truly means to lead. To save his mother and avenge his father, he must do the impossible: convince his enemies to follow him. The journey leads to Broken Crown Hill, where the blood of five nations will decide the future. Will the crown be ground into dust, or will Basyar reforge it into something stronger than it ever was before?

**Mature Content** Eilika Wolanski is the eldest daughter of one of Varos’ most respected merchants, but respect has never brought her kindness. A childhood accident left a scar across her cheek, and with it, a cruel label she can never escape. The “Unwanted Woman” of Varos. Mocked in public, pitied in private, and treated like a blemish to be hidden, Eilika grows up learning one painful truth, beauty matters more than character in high society. So when an unexpected marriage proposal arrives from the powerful House of Kingsley, no one believes it is real. The groom is Damian Van Kingsley, the widowed duke of Varos, feared for his cold temperament and admired for his unmatched looks and wealth. Rumors follow him like shadows. He has a secret mistress, a broken heart drowned in alcohol, and worst of all… A son he barely acknowledges. For Eilika, marrying Damian isn’t a dream. It’s the only option left for survival. Damian, once the kingdom’s most desirable nobleman, has been nothing but a hollow man since the death of his first wife. He has abandoned his responsibilities, pushed away his child, and lived with one vow burning in his chest. He will never replace his first wife. To force him back into duty, his mother arranges a second marriage, one he never asked for, and one he refuses to accept. Damian swears he will never touch her , will never look at her and will never treat her as his wife. But Eilika isn’t the greedy noblewoman he expected. She doesn’t ask for his affection. She doesn’t crave his title. She doesn’t even want his love. What Eilika wants… is something far more dangerous. A family. And perhaps that is the very thing Damian has been starving for all along. ~~~~ “This bed will remain cold until your last breath.” Damian’s voice boomed through the dark chamber. Eilika didn’t flinch at his words. Instead she replied gracefully, “I don’t seek love, Duke. You can visit your secret mistress every night… Just don’t come near me.” This marriage was never meant to become real, until the Duke's heart begins to betray its own rules.

The kingdom demands a queen. The Crown Prince demands obedience. Lady Elowen Evermere desires neither. When the royal decree summons every noble daughter to compete for the hand of Crown Prince Kael Viremont, Elowen becomes collateral damage in a political game she never asked to play. Unlike her ambitious younger sister, she has no interest in crowns, alliances, or courtly power. She wants a quiet life; books, gardens, and peace. But peace has no place in Kael’s court. The prince is not searching for a bride. He is hunting for threats. Cold, calculating, and dangerously perceptive, Kael quickly sees through the polished smiles of the noble daughters. And the only one who does not try to impress him — the silent duke’s eldest daughter — becomes the most intriguing of all. Elowen wants to be invisible. Kael refuses to let her disappear. As political schemes tighten around the throne, alliances fracture, and betrayal blooms beneath silk gowns and golden chandeliers, the selection becomes something far darker than marriage. It becomes a battlefield. And in a war where hearts are weapons and affection is leverage, the most dangerous move of all may be falling in love.

It’s been twenty years since I transmigrated into a child-rearing romance fantasy. After successfully pairing my lovely daughter, Cecilia, with the novel’s original male lead, I, Gillen, vowed to live out my second life in peace—until an unexpected obstacle appeared before me. “…I honestly wasn’t going to say this since you’re Cecile’s father, but…” “…?” “I have no feelings for you, Duke.” That obstacle turned out to be none other than the second male lead, Yuan. Already well aware of Yuan’s serious personality flaws, Gillen tried to remove this nuisance lingering around his daughter. But instead of sticking to the plan, he somehow ended up looking like a shameless man chasing someone twenty years younger. In the end, to settle the situation, he promised never to appear before Yuan again— “Thank you for accepting my apology. Then I suppose this will be the last time we see each other. Farewell.” “…What? Last time? What do you mean by that?” For some reason, Yuan started seeking Gillen out more persistently than ever, eyes blazing. My daughter’s second male lead… why on earth are you doing this to me?

Thinking about the tragic fate awaiting her family, Yun Wanqing cried out in her heart. "Mother, you kindly took in the cousin, yet she covets my father and wants to become his concubine. Soon, she will harm you to death~" "Father, you were set up by the female protagonist, and after your death, your head was displayed on the enemy’s city wall to be scorched by the sun, becoming Da Wu Country’s shame~" "Elder sister is the female protagonist, but her fortune is taken away, turning her into a vicious female supporting character. Later, she is abandoned by her fiancé and tortured to death by the female protagonist’s suitors~" "Elder brother, a virtuous and noble gentleman, is betrayed by friends, ending up blind, deaf, and fighting with dogs for food in the streets~" "Second brother, a demonic prodigy, loses his memory overnight, is picked up by the female protagonist, and becomes her lapdog, helping her kill Seventh Uncle and his beloved. Ultimately, his beloved dies in his arms, and he draws his sword to kill himself." "As for me, well, I was shot through the heart by ten thousand arrows along with Seventh Uncle!!!"

As for her, she was cherished and pampered by the entire family. Yun Wanqing was baffled, how did the whole villainous family change their fate against the heavens? The plot has collapsed way too absurdly, hasn’t it? Did she transmigrate into a fake book?
