When life's being bitchy, it will 'eff you over. Who would have thought that when I, the Captain of the country's Special Forces, woke up after reading a recommended historical romance fantasy novel; I'd end up in the novel itself. Blah! Talk about cliché! Seriously though, it was fine that I ended up in a novel. But why do I have to end up as the third-rate villainess/ bro-con lady Celestine von Trier? It was fine as well, being all that. But why is it that I'm fated to die a pathetic death by choking on a cookie? The injustice! The audacity! The... the...stupidity... I refuse! I will run away from this ridiculous mumbo jumbo. I am the master of my own fate! Plot be damned. Let the Operation: Great Escape commence!

The Grand Duke of the Empire has one ambition: to be the ultimate villain of all eras. But why is it that every villainous scheme he concocts ends up backfiring? He tries to poison the Crown Prince. Ends up healing said Prince's chronic illness and earns himself a loyal follower. He tries to steal the Grand General's new woman. Ends up rescuing a captive slave and earns himself a nominal fiancée. He tries to take over the church. Ends up culling a demon cult and earns himself a holy army. He tries to destroy the world. Ends up saving it.

Upon waking up a drop-dead gorgeous, filthy rich heiress slash famous movie queen, Gongsun Fei decided that she was going to be unstoppable in this life. What main character? He can only be her cute little junior brother now. What brother with a cannonfodder fate? With her, he'll live up to a hundred. What story plot? She'll enjoy tearing it all up whilst sipping vintage french wine from Seine. After all, watching the world burn for their loved ones, is a villain's secret pleasure.

She lived in the throes of the apocalypse... Zera witnessed how a once peaceful world erupted into chaos. And she was there to see all the evil that mankind was capable of. It wasn’t once that she wished she didn’t have to go through hardship of the world’s destruction. But being one of the pillars of humanity’s last hope, she had no choice but to keep up the struggle. In order for the last sliver of life to be saved, she fought until her once gorgeous body was riddled with scars and unspeakable injuries. Until Zera was merely a shadow of the devastating beauty she once was. She went from a world- renowned supermodel to a battle-hardened general of more than a hundred years of bitter fighting to her name. She despaired. She fled. She killed. She survived. She died. Or so she thought... Just when Zera basked in the glory of death and finally resting in peace, fate had other plans. She was sent to another world with a mission: to prevent it from ever falling into the same doom that her previous world suffered. The catch? She can’t die unless she succeeds. “Can’t you give this old woman a break? All I want is to rest in peace, ah!” Zera lamented bitterly in her heart. ---- Disclaimer: The cover photo used is not mine.
