The Side Character: I'm not the Female Lead

I was nothing special. A shut-in. A chubby, ordinary girl who blended into the background like a shadow. Easy to ignore. Easier to mock. The world never ran out of ways to remind me I didn’t belong. Cruel jokes in hallways. Laughter that followed me home. Words sharper than blades, carving deeper than bruises ever could. Bit by bit, I shrank into myself until there was nothing left but silence and the weight of my own loneliness. That night, I decided I’d had enough. The chair creaked under me. The rope swayed above. My room was still, suffocating, as if the world didn’t care whether I breathed or not. And maybe it didn’t. Then—music. It came from the neighbor’s stereo, muffled through the thin walls. A single voice cutting into the darkness. A voice that shouldn’t have reached me, but did. Strong. Raw. Alive. It wrapped around me like a hand pulling me back from the edge. The lyrics told me not to hide my light. That even if it flickered, it still burned. I gasped, stumbling from the chair, clutching my chest as though those words had physically struck me. Tears blurred my vision, but for the first time in forever, they weren’t from pain—they were from something I thought I’d lost. Hope. That voice saved me. His voice. Eric. The lead singer of AUREA—the boyband that would one day become gods in the music world. To me, he wasn’t just an idol. He was my lifeline. And then . . . years later, when he died, the world mourned. I mourned. The one who saved me, the reason of my life, was gone, ripped from life far too soon. I thought it was over. But fate had other plans. One desperate wish, one shattered night, and when I opened my eyes—I was ten years in the past. Before the world knew AUREA. Before Eric was swallowed by fame. Before his voice was silenced forever. I’m just Emy—ordinary, clumsy, and invisible to most. But this time . . . it’s my turn. Eric saved me once. Now, I’ll save him. No matter what it takes.

Crimson, a draconic warrior of the Goddess of the Heavens, is summoned to the world of Avi to protect mortalkind from the Fallen Queen's malevolent army, but the Queen has other plans in mind. When Crimson finds herself in chains, a war wages in her mind between righteous hatred for the evil Queen and a burgeoning forbidden desire for her. As the Queen's plots unfold and Crimson ends up in the Heavens once more, she conflicts with her ex-girlfriend, Hilde, who wants to know the truth of what happened to her in the Hells. Now caught in between the eternal war between the Goddess Aurora and the Fallen Queen Umbra, and facing a lifetime of constant harassment and torment for being a crossbreed, Crimson's loyalties are tested as her morals and her desires clash. When she is finally pushed to the breaking point, Crimson must decide what she fights for, and who she wants to fight alongside.

WRETCHED is a fast paced and intense journey through fierce emotional turmoil, drastic character developments, and dramatic developments in plot and setting, rife with gorgeous imagery and scenery, unique and unusual characters, as well as a deeply fantastical conclusion.

The Ogre Strength Fairy and the Eldest 'Son'

Single love interest Yuri! --- After failing to ascend to the heights of Divinity despite all her preparations, an ancient cultivator finds herself not embracing the emptiness of the void - but the interior warmth of a womb. Reborn into a new life, with her memories intact - she carefully starts over from an infant. - Navigating her new family: [Really easy with only two parents and an estate full of servants!] - How to portray herself: [Everyone likes 'sweet' kids and trusts (underestimates) 'weak' girls! That should be most fun~] - Showing off the power she gathers: [This region is a 'backwater', but who knows what is out there - let's just take it slow~] - Marriage arranged before birth: [Mm... my parents adore me so at an appropriate time I'll just have it cancel- oh?] - Dealing with 'amusing' deceit: [Cute. 'He' looks worried still, but 'he' doesn't have to worry from me!] - Confronting the 'son' in private: [Whatever your family's iffy plan is, I just obtained a husband-wife~] Even in this new life, [Elua er Goltbred] can't and doesn't *want* to change who she really is at the deepest level. A scheming cultivator. A possessive lover. Neither of those things had been a real hindrance to the Peak of Demi-God. Balancing the two traits in this life - without driving away the young 'boy' she decided to support and be supported by when they both came of age - centers as much around helping [Qatrand er Yecine] find herself within who her family has made of her... As it is hoping to ease the dear fiance into how messed up the (ancient) girl honestly is. With her Astralism unchanged despite reincarnation... she can improvise plenty with her ridiculous control of Illusions and more. Which is a good thing - because plans fail and unexpected things happen when you're not *really* a genius just because you know more than others. Unexpected things... like her Physique in this life allowing the lightest 'grip' to crack stone... Despite being a little stunted by her family environment early on, [Qat] finds her future wife to be 'cute' on their first meeting... but she really shouldn't have let on and said it out loud. It made her [El] kind of vain - and kind of want to remain as cute as can be for her future spouse! - - - Oh, and *muscles*. [Elua]: I just like looking at them, okay!? Is it so weird? People can have hobbies... - - - Power System: > Types of Cultivation // Spiritual (Soul), Physical (Body), Essence (Qi) > Aspect Trinity // Astralism, Physique, Element 'Ranks' Initial - Early, Mid, Late Lower Realms // Enchanter, Primalist, Breacher Upper Realms // Defier, Demi-god, Divinity - Echelons (Rank: First -> Seventh[Peak]) - - - Other Tags: #GL #Slice of Life #Comedy #TheStrongActingWeak #ChildhoodSweethearts (It counts!) Potential trigger warnings: > A reincarnator MC that gets a little 'thirsty' a little 'young' but successfully tries to 'keep her own pants on' until the proper age, because she knows it's better for her intended partner that way. > A toxic family environment willing to force an unloved child into the role of a crossdresser. A child that grew more than okay with it. She likes wearing the aesthetics of men's suits! > 'Pretty Good Dad' intentionally *picked on* by his 'sweet daughter', all for being a relatively 'minor obstacle'. Seriously, you were warned, average fathers with teenagers. Do not engage your trauma.

The Fake Bride Of The Curse Hybrid

“All I ever wanted was you, Kaldric. You were the only thing I have ever desired, and at the end of it all, I couldn't get you.” My tears rolled furiously from my eyes as I finally accepted my defeat. Kaldric took a careful step towards me, as if afraid to trigger me. “Alvira, don't. Put the gun down.” I brought the gun to my head, stopping him in his tracks. “You only told me you love me because of my heart, right?” His eyes flicker in regret, and I knew my answer. “Princess, please…” I smiled. He hasn't called me that for so long. It's a shame I always have to be pushed to the edge to get what I want. I look directly in his eyes as I mutter my final words, “No one will ever love you as much as I did, Kaldric. And now, no one hates you as much as I do.” ‘Bam!’ After catching her ex-boyfriend cheating on her, Alvira decides to accept a two hundred million deal, and all she has to do is take the place of the Axton family daughter and get married to Kaldric Verlith. However, Alvira quickly finds herself falling in love with Kaldric, a man she shouldn't want, but her growing desire for him makes her turn her back on the money and the people who had hired her, and unfortunately, it was a decision she soon regrets when the man she loves turns against her. Cursed by the moon for being a creature that shouldn't exist, Kaldric never expected to have a mate. She was everything he didn't know he needed, and for the first time in his life, he believed someone actually loved him for who he was until he found out that it was all a lie. The marriage. The bond. Her love. Everything became a lie to him, pushing him to become the monster everyone already believed him to be, and when he finds out that the heart he needs to break his curse beats in the chest of the woman he loves, Kaldric will be forced to make a decision—either live with his curse or end it by ripping the heart of the woman he claims to now hate.
