In her past life, he ruined her; in this one, he won’t let her go. In her past life, Princess Katerina was promised to Prince Maximilian, the man she loved… before he betrayed her, ruining her name beyond repair. When duty demanded it, she married King Dorian to save her people. It was a marriage born of sacrifice, not desire. But Maximilian never let her go. Even after he ascended the throne of a rival kingdom, he pursued her relentlessly… not as a lover, but as a hunter. An enemy king. A shadow that followed her across borders and battlefields. A war she could never escape. Because of him, she lost everything. Her name. Her achievements. And the most unforgivable loss of all: her children. She died without ever understanding why he destroyed her… or why he never stopped. Reincarnated into the modern world as Catherine Preston, she wants only one thing: a quiet life. She has wealth, a powerful family that adores her and a brilliant mind meant for research, not war. This time, she believes merit will protect her. This time, she believes the world is fairer. She is wrong. Traitors circle her once more… stealing her work, erasing her name, cornering her with smiles and contracts. And just when she stands on the edge of ruin… He appears again. Not as her enemy. Not as a king… But as her savior. “Marry me,” Maximilian Whitmore says calmly. “I’ll give you everything you dream of.” Catherine refuses. She will not fall for the same lies twice. She will not trust the man who destroyed her once already. But fate has other plans. A curse. A bond. A shackle she cannot break. The only way to ease the curse... to be intimate with the man she despised. She is bound to the enemy king of her past life, and this time, she cannot escape him. Does Maximilian truly not remember their past…? Or is he hiding the truth behind those unreadable eyes? What is his endgame? Protection, possession, or ruin? What's with the sincerity in his eyes? Will their forced intimacy lead somewhere? And as if that were not enough, King Dorian returns in this life as well. The same man she once married for duty, offers her peace… and the world he couldn’t give her the last time. Two men. Two pasts. One woman who remembers everything. In a world where names mean power and love is a battlefield, who will Catherine choose? What really happened in the life that started it all? Was Maximilian her greatest enemy… or the truth she was never meant to uncover? A story of obsession, betrayal, reincarnation, and a love that refuses to stay buried. #A heart-throbbing reincarnation romance filled with obsession, power, betrayal, and fate-bound love. #Enemies to lovers. Soul shackles. Overbearing kings. Painful second chances. #Slowburn romance. Update will be once a day and there will be bonus chapters if we reach milestones. Hope you'll join me in this journey.

I was murdered by the two people I loved most—my fiance and my stepsister. Sickly, weak, and foolishly kind, I couldn’t even fight back. As I lay dying, I remembered all the novels I used to read—stories where villainesses lived fiercely, beautifully, without regret. I wished I could be like them. Then a voice echoed in the darkness. "Congratulations, host. You’ve been chosen for the Villainess System." Now, I’ve been reborn in a new world—strong, powerful, and feared. This time, I won’t be the victim. I’ll be the villainess… and I’ll decide how this story ends.

[Love After Marriage] Proud and Pretends to be Sweet Heiress VS Sexy and Arrogant Retired Racer Natalie Vaughn took a liking to the blind date arranged by her family at first sight. She doesn’t like the smell of smoke, but she likes the scent on Zane Thorne after he's smoked. She’s not obsessed with hands, but she likes the sexy protruding veins on Zane Thorne’s hand. She’s utterly captivated by Zane Thorne’s lazy, casual yet explosively sexy demeanor when he smokes and drinks. To her, Zane Thorne always has an inexplicable attraction. Natalie Vaughn said to her best friend: “He looks fucking handsome when he smokes.” “If given the chance, I must touch his hand properly.” The veins protruding on Zane Thorne’s hand flow with blood that’s enchanted for her. So she uses her captivating peach blossom eyes, sometimes pretending to be obedient in front of Zane Thorne, sometimes as proud as a thorned wild rose. She’s good at using those slightly watery eyes to look pitiful, staring straight at the man to express her interest, yet never stating it outright. Step by step, leading him into the trap. Zane Thorne thinks this little girl is of a proud nature, not weak, never making a sound even if in pain. He can always tell when she's pretending to be sweet, and he always acts like he doesn’t understand with his straightforward male nature. But Natalie Vaughn’s eyes are truly captivating, occasionally leading him willingly into her trap. In the end, he is truly ensnared by her, unable to break free. Later, Zane Thorne said, "As long as you look at me, I just want to embrace you tightly." Natalie Vaughn thinks, getting a man like Zane Thorne captivated isn’t wasted effort with her pretending and coaxing.
