[GL] I'm Just A Side Character... So Why Is The Heroine Chasing Me?!

In her previous life, Bethany was a top-tier survivor in an apocalyptic world where clean water and food was rarer than diamonds and betrayal came quicker than bullets. Ruthless, smart, and fiercely adaptive, she rose to become the leader of The Red Dawn Alliance, a powerful syndicate of Awakened ability users. But just when she thought she'd secured peace for her people, her most trusted aide and the only friend she dared to have stabbed her in the back in exchange for power. Literally. Now, Bethany wakes up… not dead, not in the apocalypse but inside a historical Chinese novel called Crimson Blossoms Under Heaven, a dark revenge drama she had once binge-read for the plot (and the hot male lead). She’s not the heroine. Nope. Instead, she had become Lan Yue, a lowly handmaiden doomed to die after betraying her mistress, the novel’s brilliant heroine. A cannon fodder side character destined to be nothing more than a footnote. But Lan Yue had no intention of playing her role. Why fight for someone else’s glory? Why throw herself into dog-blood drama filled with betrayal, revenge, and endless schemes? All she wanted was simple: Eat good food. Sleep as much as she wanted. Live quietly, far away from the chaos. Unfortunately… the heroine had other ideas. At first, her smiles were sweet, her words dripping with warmth. But the more time passed, the more Lan Yue noticed something was wrong. The heroine’s touches lingered too long. Her gaze burned hotter than it should. And instead of chasing the male lead, she clung closer and closer to her. “Lan Yue,” the heroine’s lips curled in a chilling smile, “Where do you think you’re going? You’re mine.” Lan Yue: “...” Wait. Weren’t you supposed to love the hero?! Please also check out my other books Why Is Every Male Lead Obsessed With Me?!

Fated Traveler

In ninth-century Baghdad, Aisha bint Al-Fadl, daughter of a powerful wazir, moves among the halls of her father’s palace, where opulence is matched only by strict rules and quiet family intrigues. Every gesture, every word carries weight, and missteps are noticed. Half a millennium later, in 2024 Indonesia, Ruqayyah, a teenage girl at a pesantren, navigates a life of simplicity and routine, far from wealth or politics. Her world is calm, orderly, and predictable—until it is not. Without warning, a force beyond understanding intertwines their fates: their souls are swapped, and each is thrust into a life they do not recognize. In unfamiliar bodies, they must learn new languages, customs, and expectations, all while obeying a law whose rules are strict and mysterious—one misstep could cost more than they can imagine. There is one command above all: anyone who marries in a body that is not their own brings a curse upon themselves and their descendants, everlasting and unyielding. Yet their final mission is clear: to earn the deep, true love of the men they desire. How can they accomplish this—when they are forbidden to marry? As feelings rise in worlds that are not theirs, a grim question looms: who will bear the curse, and how far will fate stretch before it snaps? Watching from the shadows, a silent presence monitors every step. Patient, exacting, and unseen, it waits for the moment when their decisions will set a destiny that cannot be undone.

Fallen Eagle [Kingdom-Building; Military Strategy]

The year is 1459. Constantinople has fallen, and the Romans are no more. Nearly fifteen hundred years after its founding, the greatest empire the world has known has ceased to exist, swallowed whole by the Great Ottoman tide. In the dying embers of the Byzantine world, its last rump states stand on the brink of collapse. Their fall will mark the end of any remnant of Roman rule. Nestled in the mountains of the Crimean Peninsula, the tiny Greek Principality of Theodoro clings to a desperate existence, living in the shadow of Byzantium's destroyers. Its fall is not a possibility; it is a historical certainty. Dr. Nikos Karagiannis is a History professor ripped across worlds into the body of Theodorus, a bookish third son in a disgraced house with a prophetic name, but little prospects. Nikos has no magic or divine blessings. What he does possess is the knowledge of the political blunders, the shifting alliances, and the military tactics that will lead this land to ruin. "The city is fallen and I am still alive." – Constantine XI Palaiologos, the last Byzantine Emperor. What to Expect: Historical Kingdom-Building: A gritty, grounded take on rebuilding a nation where logistics are king, supply lines are lifelines, and battles are won with strategy, not superpowers. A Brutally Realistic World: The protagonist is not the center of the universe. Allies and antagonists have their own ambitions and plans, and will act accordingly. Meaningful Character Arcs: A story where characters are forged and broken by the crucible of war and politics. Dramatic and tense character interplay abounds, and no one is safe. You have been warned.

Project 1948: The Jinnah Divergence

"History says nations are built on speeches and slogans. History is wrong." "Nations are built on plumbing, supply chains, and systems." Bilal, a cynical game developer from 2024, knows exactly how the “game” of British India ends—with the fire and blood of 1947. When he wakes up inside the mind of Muhammad Ali Jinnah (Father of The Nation) in 1930, he realizes that following the historical script is a death sentence for millions. The Quaid-e-Azam (Father of The Nation) of the textbooks—the distant, immaculate lawyer—needs a patch. Forming an unlikely partnership, the modern systems thinker and the Edwardian barrister abandon the politics of London and Delhi. Instead, they retreat to the forgotten backwaters of Montgomery to attempt something dangerous: Project Sandalbar. Their goal is not rebellion—but construction. To build a functioning prototype state inside the belly of the British Empire. Armed with modern knowledge of logistics, communication networks, and resource management—wielded through Jinnah’s razor-sharp legal mind—they begin engineering a sanctuary against the coming storm. The Mission: Turn a dust-bowl estate into a self-sustaining fortress. The Tools: Sanitation protocols, radio networks, cooperative economics, and a militia disguised as farm guards. The Obstacles: Feudal lords, imperial suspicion, religious extremism, and the ticking clock of history. They are not fighting for independence. They are building a lifeboat. Can a game developer and a lawyer “mod” the operating system of the Raj before the server crashes?

The heresy of girls

NO SMUT. In the crown-bound kingdom of Valedryn, the Church teaches that humanity was cursed by a single girl. Ophelia — the first woman — defied God and was cast out of His garden. For her heresy, Heaven stripped mankind of its magic. Now humans kneel while elves and dwarves wield power like birthrights. Desperate for forgiveness, the priests offer God a penance. Punish the daughters. Girls are named omens, born sinful, and destroyed at birth. Only the most “useful” are spared — raised not as people, but as property of the throne. Veiled. Numbered. Promised to noble houses or the king himself to strengthen bloodlines that Heaven has long abandoned. They are never called she. Only it. Seris Zephyr was meant to be one of them. Too beautiful to discard, she is taken to the palace and groomed to become a royal vessel — obedient, silent, and grateful to serve. But Seris does not bow. She does not kneel. And no prayer has ever left her lips willingly. There is something wrong with her. Candles flare when she’s angry. Doors unlock at her touch. The air bends like it’s listening. Humans are not meant to have power. As whispers of unrest spread through the cathedral courts and the Church hunts for signs of divine punishment, Seris begins to suspect the kingdom’s greatest truth is a lie. Perhaps Ophelia did not curse humanity. Perhaps girls were never the sin. And if the throne discovers what Seris truly is, they won’t crown her. They’ll burn her. Because in Valedryn, a girl who refuses to bow is not just disobedient — she is heresy. PHOTO IS NOT MINE, I GOT IT FROM PINTEREST.
