[Mommy Villainess (The Lady with the Crab Mallet)] *** [Original book cover. Artwork by Artist Michiro for WN Author sola_cola.] *** In Tilly's past life, she was a villainess who neglected her husband and son for power. Then, the "real woman of the prophecy" came and took them away from her. When she failed to seize the throne for herself, she was executed for all the crimes she committed. Then, came her rebirth. She wants to meet her son again so she vowed to be a good person this time. Good enough to seduce Captain Kiho--- her husband in her past life. But soon, she realized that flirting with the captain is the least of her worry. After all, she discovered that her "evilness" in the past was caused by the true villain--- someone who wanted her dead to steal the special power that she didn't know she possessed. Power that has something to do with the Four Ancient Beasts of the Moonchester Empire: The Red Phoenix, the Blue Dragon, the Golden Tiger, and The Black Serpent. Apparently, she's the Beast Priestess... ... and her lineage isn't supposed to exist anymore. Because of her blood, there are people who want her gone. So now, aside from having a happy life with Kiho and their son, she has a new goal: to burn down the b*tches who want to ruin her family again. *** [EXCERPT] *** [‘Why am I so horny tonight?’] Tilly thought to herself while sucking the crab leg suggestively. And then, she noticed that Captain Kiho gulped while staring at her mouth. [‘Ah, I’m not the only who’s hot and bothered here.’] She didn’t know if it was the alcohol in her system or her desperation to have a child… … but she suddenly felt like flirting with him. They were bound to get married and have a child together anyway. “Captain,” said Tilly as soon as she pulled the crab leg out of her mouth. “I can clearly see that we’re both attracted to each other. Shall we spend the night together?” Kiho remained pokerfaced but she saw panic cross his now glowing yellowish eyes. Ah, the captain was flustered. “My lady, you seem to be really drunk.” She walked towards him and when he didn’t move an inch, she stood in front of him and looked up at him with a grin. “Captain, are you the type of man who will only sleep with his betrothed?” “That seems to be the case, my lady.” He said that as if he was forcing the words out of his mouth. Plus, she could see in his eyes that he was conflicted– that it was hard for him to reject her. [‘Aw, I didn’t know that I have this kind of effect on my ex-husband.’] Or perhaps she just didn’t pay attention in the past. “Captain, I have a solution to your problem,” said Tilly in a playful voice. Then, she stood on her toes and whispered in Kiho’s ear. “Let’s get married.”

When he was presented as an omega, Eugene left his home to escape his father’s discriminatory ass. After years, he finally got his life together despite having a child out of a random and whimsical one-night stand with a stranger and raising his daughter as a single parent. A production house even offered to turn his award-winning short story into a featured drama. Under his friend’s persuasion and the need to save money for her daughter’s future education, he agreed to this plan and attended the meeting with the producer. But… “Why is there an alpha here?” “Why? Are you the type of omega who can’t stand alphas?” “That’s…” …not true—was what he wanted to say. The problem was…the alpha in front of him was the father of his daughter, and…that alpha didn’t know anything about it! With a mix of fluster and a high ego, Eugene replied harshly. “Yes.” And thus, a string of misunderstandings started as Eugene tried his hardest to hide the little carbon copy of the alpha, while said alpha tried his hardest to follow the traces of scents his memory kept conjuring whenever he was in Eugene’s proximity.

There are exactly three stages of social death on the Upper East Side. I know, because I survived them all in the span of a single Tuesday. For eighteen years, Wren Calloway was a beautifully kept secret—the illegitimate daughter of a New York real estate titan, living a funded, invisible life of luxury. But when a perfectly orchestrated scandal rips her world apart, her "paper crown" goes up in flames. Banished from her penthouse to a rented clapboard house in the suffocatingly small town of Millhaven, Connecticut, Wren is determined to treat her exile exactly as it is: a temporary prison sentence. Keep her head down, keep her sharp eyeliner perfect, and trust no one. Enter Hayes Callahan. He is Millhaven’s golden boy. The star quarterback with pale blue eyes, a charismatic smile, and the weight of the entire town’s expectations resting heavily on his broad shoulders. He is everything Wren despises about her new reality—a cliché she wants nothing to do with. But Hayes isn't just a jock. When he looks at the aloof, defensive new girl with storm-cloud eyes, he doesn't see a broken socialite or a problem to be solved. He sees someone who understands what it's like to perform a role you didn't choose. What starts as a hostile standoff by the blue lockers soon turns into an intoxicating, magnetic pull that neither can resist. In a town where everyone is watching, Wren must decide if she’s willing to let her guard down for a boy who threatens to shatter every rule she’s ever written to protect herself... or if the ghosts of her past will drag them both under. Sometimes, losing your crown is the only way to find out who you really are.
