This book is inspired be the V.C. Andrews Gothic Horror/Romance Novels.

Chest heaving in anticipation, Anna gazed up at the shirtless highlander standing over her.  Slowly, he unlaced the bodice of her dress and tugged, baring her shoulders, which he lavished with kisses.  Another sharp tug freed her breasts, her nipples sharp pink points in the chill of the night.  

Och, lass, he breathed as he lay her across the enormous four-poster bed.

Anna watched as he loosened his kilt and let it drop to the stone floor, her eyes zeroing in on his enormous manhood.  She chewed her lower lip in anticipation as a flood of moisture drenched her core.

He leaned over her, capturing first one perfect pink nub, then the other between his sensual lips.  Anna arched at his touch, her greedy center weeping in need.

Please, she breathed.

Are ye ready for me, lass? he asked, his voice husky with desire.

Yes, please, she mewled.

From far away, Anna heard a strange beeping sound.  The volume increased until she cracked open one eye to find that she was no longer in an ancient highland castle.  She was in her own cabin, in her own bed.

Oh, for fucks sake, she muttered, her heart still pounding as she turned off her alarm and got out of bed.

In the shower, she used her hand to slake the need her dream had aroused, but it was a poor substitute for a good, hard cock.  Not that shed had one recently.  

As she toweled off, she considered her dream.  She read enough steamy romance novels to have the occasional naughty dream. Usually, as she read, she conjured up some nebulous romance hero in her imagination.  Suddenly now, her highlander looked and sounded precisely like Angus McGregor.

And shed have to face him at breakfast.  She rolled her eyes at the notion.

Pull yourself together, she chided herself while she dried her hair.  Its not like Angus knows about the dream.  And anyway, hes merely a guest.  Treat him like you would any other guest.

As rays of golden sunlight were beginning to filter through the pine boughs overhead, Angus made his way toward the main lodge.  Mixed with the scent of wood smoke, the aroma of bacon drifted in the chilled morning air, and his stomach rumbled with anticipation.

His first stop, however, would not be breakfast.  After hed returned to his cabin the previous night, hed perused the schedule that had been laid out for him.  

At nine oclock, he was slated to participate in an intermediate horsemanship session run by Andy Graves.  A quick scan of the general schedule showed that Anna would be leading a beginners course immediately following lunch.  And that suited him better.  Because he was, in fact, a rank beginner.  Hed never even touched a horse before, let alone dared try to mount one or ride it.  

The irony that he was wagering the future of his career on a western film was not lost on him.  But the story had become entwined with his soul since hed first read the novel five years earlier.  And although the setting was the old west, the basic story was a human drama that resonated in any generation.  

So hed scrimped and saved and bided his time until he was able to make an offer to buy the story and write the screenplay.  Now it was his film to make.  And hit or miss, he was all in on the project.

In the main lobby, he greeted several of the other guests hed met at the campfire the night before.  He found that he genuinely liked them.  Although they obviously knew who he was, theyd welcomed him into their ranks and treated him as a friend.  

Save me a seat, he responded to their invitation to join them.  I need to take care of something, and Ill be right there.

He made his way past the dining room entrance to the small shop located across from the main desk.  The posted hours indicated that it was open during every meal.  

As he entered, he walked past racks of postcards and t-shirts and fleece hoodies emblazoned with the Sweetwater Ranch logo.  On the far wall were shelves of necessities guests might have forgotten to pack.  But he continued to the checkout counter where a very pretty, very pregnant African American woman sat.

She looked up from her paperwork and gave him a star-struck smile.  Good morning!  How are you today?

Angus grinned back.  Im fantastic, thanks.  Ye have a lovely ranch.

Her smile turned shy.  Im so glad you like it.  Its been in my husbands family since way before he was born.  How can I help you today?

He reached into the back pocket of his jeans and withdrew the schedule hed taken from the folder in his cabin.  Id like to see if I can change my riding session.  He placed the paper on the counter and slid it toward her.

The woman looked where he pointed, and she frowned slightly.  Youre scheduled to be in the intermediate riding group right after breakfast.  Thats the one my husband leads.  Hes Andy.  Im Simone, by the way.  Again, her smile was shy.

Angus aimed for a self-deprecating expression.  Hello, Simone.  Its nice to meet ye.  As for the riding session, though, theres a problem.  Ye see, Im not nearly intermediate.  Im more like, never even seen a horse with me own eyes.  He laughed at his joke.

Since Im truly a beginner, Id like tae start at the beginning.  Is there any way ye can switch me tae the session after lunch?

Simone frowned again.  I, uh, well  You see, the afternoon class is for children.  Its the one Anna teaches.  

Oh!  Her eyes suddenly grew wider.  Oh!  Yes, I think definitely for you we can make an exception.  Im sure Anna wont mind.  Simone drew a line through the morning class on Anguss schedule and penciled in the session hed requested.

Only, she leaned forward, her voice lowered conspiratorially, maybe dont mention it to Anna until you show up for the session.  Then you can tell her I okayed it.

He took her hand and pressed a gentle kiss to the back of it.  Simone, yer truly an angel.  I thank ye from the bottom of my heart.

Simone was reduced to giggles.  Alright, have fun now.  Enjoy your breakfast.

Romance is a very popular genre in Webnovels. The first thing that come to mind when we talk about romance are the CEO novels. Even though we don't want to admit it, they are the mainstream romance stories in the Webnovel website. 

So why do people love romance stories? I hope you find the answer while reading this chapter.

----------------------------------

FattyBai: No worries, was just a bit curious. It's always amazing seeing how the Romance genre basically dominates the site.

Parasection: and CEO stories.

FattyBai: So I was sort of curious what the demographics on the reader's sex were. But yeah, it's a fair assumption to say that the ladies rule the site, lol

WWFire: Readers gender stats r ambiguous, it is manipulatable after all.

FattyBai: Unless there's this hidden group of guys who have been starving for CEO romance novels (which would actually be funny).

Parasection: But the sacred texts.

WWFire: All I see are genderless alien. *derp emoticon*

reinesse ♥: kek.

FattyBai: How do we pull in the female readers in if we can't write a romance story? *cry emoticon*

Parasection: No choice but to write yaoi then.

WWFire: We who read these kind of fantasy novels don't live our lives correctly pal.

CailinMatthews: *ghost hug emoticon*

Parasection: Give in to the demons.

WWFire: That's why we escape reality sometimes. 

FattyBai: It's like being offered a big cake and unable to take a slice.

Zehell2218: I think male reader have their own chance and market.

FattyBai: For sure, but it'd be nice to tap into both sides.

Zehell2218: @FattyBai I think I'll make fantasy romance so I can attract both.

FattyBai: I mean, it's not a bad idea, but how do you split it up? 50% romance/50% dragon ball z?


Parasection: The fuq that sounds like an abomination.

FattyBai: It does.

Zehell2218: @FattyBai No it's 80% romance 20% action. *joy emoticon*

Noveljunky: Besides Romance, what else do females like to read?

Parasection: BL, yaoi, drama.

Zehell2218: Still BL is romance.

Anjeeriku: horror lol.

reinesse ♥: @Noveljunky xianxia I think.

Noveljunky: Mmm.

Zenith: Well, need too write romance...kek

Zehell2218: Do female reader like to read apocalypse novel? Quick question since I will make fantasy romance in apocalypse.

[A/N: Sis, did you forget that you're a girl too?]

Totally Not Nano: nah oof.

FattyBai: @Zehell2218 Aww, man. But then you have to develop characters and write meaningful dialogue.

Zenith: I am probably gonna f*ck up my time trying to make a romance story.

FattyBai: We like blowing stuff up and fighting baddies.

Zehell2218: cmon it will be comedy. *laugh emoticon*

Parasection: The best thing in a novel is character development humor and action romance can be on the side.

Anjeeriku: Romance can be a great sub genre.

Parasection: how does one even write romance? I don't know where to begin with that genre.

FattyBai: I'm a simple guy, I see plot and I drown it in martial arts and manly stuff. Of course, I don't know what feelings are. Can you eat them to increase your cultivation base? *think smart emoticon*

Parasection: I've never experienced romance so i'd fail the moment i'd attempt a story like that.

Zehell2218: Actually, I like to write fighting scene but without romance my reader will kill me. So...yeah I tag it as romance! *joy emoticon*

Parasection: Fight scenes are fun to write.

FattyBai: I'm trying to break through into the "Immortal lonely sperg" phase~

Zehell2218: Very sloooooowww romance.

Anjeeriku: Please no abusive ML @Zehell2218 They're disgusting. idk why women like to read them.

Zehell2218: @Anjeeriku I don't know if girls who read xianxia will read apocalypse novel too.

reinesse ♥: I wanna write a novel like it's not easy to be a man after traveling to the future.

Zehell2218: @Anjeeriku No I won't make abusive ML. @reinesse ♥ same *joy emoticon*

Totally Not Nano: @Anjeeriku *cough* TBWWM *cough*

reinesse ♥: And an actual xianxia novel with reasonable characters.

Zehell2218: But without the romance it's bland.

reinesse ♥: Like characters, especially main character who knows how to adjust because extreme pride is not good.

FattyBai: @Zehell2218 Baby Dragon Truer words have not been spoken, and that scares me.

reinesse ♥: Some villains are really brainless. they can scheme, but they don't have a reasonable reason to do so

Zenith: Kek.

Zehell2218: @Zenith gramps I have idea for fantasy romance lemme tell you after I finish writing and see if it's interesting or not.

Zenith: Get the MC u desire! Yeah @Zehell2218 

FattyBai: I fear becoming a more wholesome and fleshed out human being. Please no development.

Zehell2218: @Zenith It's ok. Just want to see if people will find this good or not. *joy emoticon*

Totally Not Nano: I think there's a formula in getting famous as a writer.

[A/N: Oh? Such formula exist? Teach me Senpai!]

Totally Not Nano: Let's debate about it. *thinking emoticon*

Parasection: The formula is write romance and you're set.

Totally Not Nano: Any genre + xxxxxxx = top 1.

[A/N: Today… I lost faith in humanity.]

Noveljunky: If you stare into the abyss, the abyss stares back.

Moonbirth: Write a lot. Write everyday. Post a lot everyday... write about what readers want to read about.

Anjeeriku: Write a lot. be a slave. Lol

Elyon knew that "Romance" is not his strong point. He writes a fantasy story with romance, but he can't tell if the romance will be able to attract female readers. Out of curiosity, he asked some of his fellow authors the question "Why do you read romance stories?"

Here are their answers…

Kyosei: Because I am single. 

Reili: To fill my empty void of a love life.

Minrei: Because romance let you feel what is to be loved, plus it is universal you dont need to learn magic or cultivation in order to read.

Bajj: Due to lack of romance irl.

Murakami: I read because I enjoy the friction and conflict between the FL and ML. The insistence vs resistance is naisu.

Qin: I reads romance only for ideas and info.

VlassisBehrakis: I don't read romance novels.

[A/N: Oof I asked the wrong person.]

Elyon then  ̶a̶m̶b̶u̶s̶h̶e̶d̶ asked some readers about their opinion about romance novels.

Yin: I read romance novels because I want that kind of drama to happen to me in real life. But I know it will never happen haha.

A Certain Irresistible Meowlin: I wonder why? And I do read romance novels. Though the chance of me dropping them is also the highest out of all the genres. Every so often I come across a scene that makes me just want to squeal and fangirl. 

----------------------------------

Elyon decided to dig deeper and asked a few of his senior "romance authors" some questions about their reason for writing romance stories.

The first question is… Why did you choose to write Romance Stories?

Anjeeriku: I'm comfortable writing romance stories compared to other genres. I'm a helpless romantic person and I like novels that can invoke other people's feelings.

Bajj: First of all, I like reading romance story. It was the reason why I read books before and reading other genres comes after. All in all, due to these romance fiction books, I got the opportunity to read more great books with different genre.

MishaK: That's what I read, so write that too.

Zehell2218: Because as reader, I want to read romance novel so when I write, I write romance since my motto is I write what I want to read.

Ikazainudin: The easiest genre. Everyone can relate.

End_of_Era: It wasn't a full on Romance, it was slice of life with romance which I feel was necessary with progression of the characters.

----------------------------------


The second question… When you were making your ML and FL, did you imagine yourself as the lead of your story at any given point in time?

Anjeeriku: I would be a liar if I said no. There were instances that I'd put myself in my FL's shoes. Whenever that happens, my writing feels more passionate and truthful that sometimes it was hard to know where my fl starts and where I end. 

Shen Yi, LMD's ML was based on a person I've lost, The One That Got Away so it was sometimes hard not to self-insert whenever there were scenes that need to invoke feelings from readers. 

Bajj: I believe that every character the author was making and breathing life into it, a part of him/her is added to its character. But me imagining of being the ML/FL, never. I'm too pure for that. Kek

MishaK: Yes I did but sometimes. Otherwise you can't infuse emotions in your characters. It is important to understand your characters.

Zehell2218: Yes, I imagine myself as the lead. Of course, I tweak it a bit, such as in age and appearance. But mostly, the characteristics is similar to me.

Ikazainudin: FL and ML character based on what I want to be irl. Yup. I imagine that will be my love story.

End_of_Era: Yes, my leads had some ocassional self insertion.

----------------------------------

The third question… If you were to choose some other genre aside from romance, what would you pick?

Anjeeriku: Fantasy. I always look up to those authors who can write fantasy stories/novels well. I believe writing a fantasy novel is harder than writing romance. 

[A/N: Ahem! 10 points to Griffindor!]

Bajj: Horror/thriller/Action. Read GGGB godamnit! [Good Girl Gone Bad]

MishaK: I am writing a Fantasy romance aside from regular vanilla romance *smile emoticon*

Zehell2218: Fantasy, magical realism, fan fiction.

Ikazainudin: Psychological/horror and maybe children story.

End_of_Era: The new genre I'm writing is fantasy/violent .

----------------------------------


The fourth and final question… If you were to give a message to your beloved readers, what would it be?

Anjeeriku: I'm sorry for not being inconsistent with updates. Y'all know I love you, but a little consideration and patience as I face this rough patch in my life would be very much appreciated.

Bajj: Vote me please :* mass release comes after, deal?

[A/N: Oof!]

MishaK: Be responsible in reviewing the book you are reading. Authors love to listen from their readers. So talk to them.

Zehell2218: Beloved reader, your author here is working hard to provide your daily dose so pliz pretty pliz, read my chapter using paid SS since I don't get even a penny for free SS. 

Tips: use free SS on translation novel. The translator still get money and use paid SS on original novel so we can get a bit money to continue living *wink*

Ikazainudin: I want readers to know, that love, hope and miracles exist. Be open and value each moment of your life like the MC's did.


----------------------------------

Author's Thoughts

Hello Guys! I hope you enjoyed this chapter of WWCG. Personally, I've read a few CEO novels myself. I also read some FL stories like A Slight Smile Is Devastating (Love O2O), Hidden Marriage, Doomed to be Cannon Fodder, Transmigrator meets Reincarnator, A Mistaken Marriage Match: A Generation of Military Counselor, There Is an Angel in That Church (short story), Eight Treasures Trousseau, Grabbing Your Hand, Dragging you Away, A Mistaken Marriage Match: Record of Washed Grievances…

Ai~ there's a few more that I won't add to the list because it will create a wall of text. Well anyways, the reason why I read these stories is to get an idea on "WHY" the ladies love to read them.

Let's just say that it's a unique way to see a world in the eye of a lady (if you are a man of course). When done properly, the execution of the story can capture the hearts of anyone, even male readers. I believe that no matter what gender you are, as long as you find the story interesting then it doesn't matter whether you are a guy or a gal no?

Perhaps, when I'm not too busy to write my stories, I'll once again pick a romance novel to read. Hopefully, I will find another hidden gem that will bring unexpected surprises to anyone who are lucky enough to find them.

P.S I would like to thank my fellow authors, especially my senior romance authors who answered some of my questions regarding romance novels. 

To my senior authors, May the road rise up to meet you. May the wind always be at your back. May the Power Stones shine warm upon your face, and Spirit Stones fall soft upon your fields. (￣▽￣)ノ

P.S The Cover Drawing is not mine. I just find it nice so I used it. Full credits go to the owner.

It's me again, Lemon Grenade. After creating the story Reincarnated into a Shingle Sea Urchin, I realized how fast I did things and how I didn't put much effort into the story. I've spent my time thoughtfully contemplating on how to improve myself this year before I came up with a new story.

I originally promised another story that involved aliens and game elements, but I got extremely lazy during that time and temporarily gave up. But I've been working on others in secret during my silence. This time I came up with one that's unique and something I'm willing to invest more time in compared to my first one which was a prototype.

This time I won't try to speed run things. I'll try to put effort into the storyline and plot. I'll try to personalize characters and put effort into them. Unlike the first time, I have a relatively good path that I plan on following. Yes, I said that for my first novel, but complications rose so I ended it prematurely.

But I won't start releasing chapters for a while. If I do, the pressure will bring up my habit of speed running things. Once I've completed a portion of it that I've deemed satisfactory, I'll start releasing chapters.

PLEASE READ (But please don't be offended with my passionate rant)
------------------
I have reasons as to why I chose the main character to be a female.
The first reason is because I feel more enthusiastic when the character I'm imagining is female.

The second reason is because I'm tired of almost all the female Wuxia/Xianxia novels that I manage to find and read. It's very hard (and rare) to find a legit cultivation novel with a female protagonist that cultivates seriously.
Almost all female cultivation novels have a main male character that goes after them. It results in a lot of romance and little cultivation. The same could be said to multiple male characters going after the single female protagonist. It just results in too much comedy and romance, with little cultivation time taken seriously.

Examples would be Genius Doctor: Black Belly Miss and The Demonic King Chases His Wife. Although I've read the first to 300 and the second to 500, which isn't the whole, I stopped because of the romance. Although yes, there was a period of time where they separated, but even then, cultivation wasn't really taken seriously. 
(Correct me if this changes past what I've read. I'm kinda judging, but what I've said is mostly true for what I've read so far. So you can't blame me)

The ones that I can really appreciate are Kumo Desu Ga, Nani Ka? and The Good-For-Nothing Seventh Young Lady.
The first one has almost no romance with the female character and is all about evolving to become stronger in order to survive. 
The second does have multiple males going after her, but she takes cultivation very seriously and puts in effort to cultivate. If not, she's usually doing important business stuff or figuring out problems. She's not even in love with any of the male throughout the entire story, only friendship. It's extremely slow romance as she slowly falls for a guy that only has a soul, but has a personality that I like very much.

You can find plenty of male cultivation novels, and a lot of them are famous. Almost all of them seriously focus on cultivation; pursuing the Dao with not a lot of romance. Even the ones with female leads still do cultivation seriously even if the male protagonist falls in love.

But NO! When it's a female, the cold and dark world of cultivation suddenly becomes all happy and vibrant! It's all about the male guy! Yes, I have seen darkness and coldness in female cultivation novels like the ones above, but definitely not as much as one with a male MC. It's like the whole world has to be nicer just because the MC is a girl!

For male MC's, most of them struggle to the top. They have to work their way to advance by slaughtering enemies and using them as stepping stones in pursuit of the great Dao. They always severely injure themselves while approaching the brink of death just to survive. There's always gore, evil, and darkness that the MC has to traverse through while maintaining their sanity.

But NO! It's different for a female MC! They do struggle, but definitely not as much. Enemies are slaughtered and used as stepping stones, but I've never seen a female have a Dao they want to pursue. Yes they injure themselves, but definitely not as bloody and gory. Life or death situations are way less compared to the latter. Things are seemingly brighter with a female MC.

The best part of it all is that they're buffed with their seemingly harsh past life. Almost all female MC's in cultivation novels have OP medical skills, assassin skills, and military skills from their past life. I've never seen a female MC cult. novel where she was originally born in a cultivation world and has to work her way up. I've seen several male MC novel's like that, but no female.

Yes, I know male MC's are like that too, but not a lot of them actually have the female tropes. A good portion of them are just male MC's who are in high school or college, or just an average worker. They have to learn harsh things and go through mentally insane things. On the other hand, females are granted buffs and don't start this way out when they arrive. (Correct me if there is a female cultivation novel like that)

In conclusion, the males usually have the tough life while the females can just relate to their past life to get things done. Not to mention getting help from the leading male(s) character(s).
 
You really can't sympathize with the female MC's suffering in their past life as they usually do a brief overview of what their other worldly harsh life was like (sometimes male as well). The males usually have to go through hardships throughout the novel which immerses the reader (most of the time).

Well, as a person who believes in gender equality, this is a frustrating problem for me. I just wish there'd be more novels where the female has to suffer hardships physically and mentally like the male trope does without the buffer and external help from their lover. I also just wish the female would pursue the Dao and not crazily fall in love.

I know you're all saying, "But Lemon! Those novels are to catch readers that love romance!"
I know! But do you think all males and females like romance cultivation novels? 
"But these are all romance cultivation novels!"
Where's the action filled, Dao pursuing cultivation novels with female MC's?!
Where's the female MC's that pursue a lonely road of cultivation like the male MC's?!
I bet there's tons of female and male readers wanting more action-packed, little romance female Xianxia/Wuxia novels!

To make matters worse, they make the males personality traits very annoying to other males! Only the Seventh Young Lady has satisfactory male traits including the leading male.

Yes this all sounds sexist, but hear me out. 
I know some like the romance part, but as a person who loves action-filled novels, the romance part isn't all that big for me. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy romance ones as well, but only if the MC is a male and the romance is kept in check and not exaggerated like the female ones. Very rarely will I enjoy a male lead in a female cultivation (Seventh Young Lady).

Yes, I am using past life experience for the female MC, but that's because I'm lazy. I can understand why the others use this buff of their female MC's, but apparently it's easy for the male and not for the female.
-------------------------
Phew! I've let out enough of my pent-up emotions. Let's end this rant about inequality towards male and female MC's.

I will try to do as little romance as possible in this novel and keep cultivation serious. There will be a little, but I don't know if I'll include a handsome male lead or multiple male leads. It all depends on the direction of this novel.

Well, I hope you all enjoy this novel when I start releasing chapters.

Then her soul vanished and reincarnated into a place known as the Five Heavens, where cultivation isn't a fantasy.

Xinyue was awakened with no parents. She was given average looks and no talent for cultivation. On top of that, the orphanage leader didn't like her and kicked her out as a newborn baby! How bad is this luck?!

Will she survive as a newborn baby in civilization fraught with dangers? Will she be abducted by the forces of evil? Will this be another female cultivation love story?

One of the things I like to do is to share novels that I enjoy reading. 
However, I only share those that are free so as to help (a little bit) of such a wonderful book not get lost in the thousands of novels out there in webnovel.
For convenience's sake, I will also put them here from now on.
This is the list as from 1 December 2019, and whatever titles I remember from previous recommendations. I will upload the earlier recommendations when I have the time (and amidst editing after the novel ends).
Below includes free and those that became contracted after it had been recommended (note, it wasn't because I recommended it, okay). heh. 
Also, note. At the time I recommend, I try to choose novels that will continue. However, whether it does, or not, is beyond my control. I bear no responsibility if the Author disappears, or if they do dro the novel (I don't like when that happens either, so I know the feeling).  
So any novels that I did recommend before, but hasn't updated for more than two months, I will not put in this list.
Free Novels (Alphabetical Order)
1. Immaculate Spirit by Newbiel (Magical Realism), Ongoing - Nathaniel, a teenage artistic genius in a coma for four years. Reawakened with another soul attached (Marc, CIA agent extraordinaire). It has music, action (spy and terrorist stuff). No regular updates, grammar is not perfect but in later chapters, there are editors (on and off). 
2. No Matter How Long Time Passes, I still Love you by Sweetflowlips (Romance), Ongoing - This is a refreshing take on the usual 'marry cold man - divorce' novels. First off, FL doesn't end up with the useless ex-husband and secondly, she's not such a wimp or flopping fish. /heh
3. Perfect match, Secret Marriage by caremel (Romance), Completed - 420 Chapters. 
4. The Prodigy: I Was Reborn And To Become A Saintess by _AngelGrace_(Fantasy Romance), Ongoing - A prodigy was reborn in a world of magic, into the body of a 'useless' Saintess - or so everyone thought. See how she overcomes the plots against her, makes herself powerful and collects men to her like bees to honey. Looks like reverse harem at the moment, but may be just one ML. There's magic, a bit of nation-building. Updates unstable but Author says will not drop.
5. TheUnion by CreamAndCookies (Fantasy), Completed -291 Chapters. It is fantasy medieval. Has romance, kingdom building and all the political intrigues. 
6. The Witch CEO is NOT a Demoness by SayuriHyuuga (Romance), Completed - 146 Chapters. FengJui, CEO and known to be like a dragon.

Special Mention
This is a book by a fellow reader, who is an Author. My first Author friend when I began the journey to write and learned a lot from her writing style.

This is a rebirth story of a normal girl, Kylie. She was a normal girl, living a normal life. Married and had kids. Nothing outstanding about her, but nothing terrible either. Then she was attacked and left to die. 

Her soul screamed in pain at having to leave behind two small children that needed her, yet she couldn't do anything. As she entered eternal darkness ... it took her some time to realise that she was not dead. She was alive, only yet to be born.

Hi. Thanks for dropping by. Please bear in mind that I am a new author, and English is not my first language. I am writing because I find it enjoyable, and am only now finding the courage to actually pen it out for others to read.

This is a reincarnation story of a girl who had lived one life, and will experience another. Follow her along her journey of discovery: of herself, as she walks an entirely new path. Yet, at the same time, she seeks to find closure from her old life. 

World background: Current Earth, with names of countries being just Country J, Country SA etc. 

First, the MC is the typical OP character. Second, it's a slice of life story mixed with OPness of MC. If you don't like Gary Sue / OP characters, with a slow story pace, then this is not for you. 

There are elements of adventure/action, romance, some comedy and a little bit of mystery.  It is also a story about friendship and the bonds we make as we grow up.

The rating is due to certain scenes and sensitive issues from Volume 3 onwards. 

Please review. Your feedback is appreciated.

1. Courage to Love (ongoing)

Sometimes, she would also think that if one day she really married Gu Yinshu.
Would she be lucky enough to give birth to a daughter? In the future, they could bring their daughter back to No. 1 High School and tell her that our fate began in this school.
Of course, all of this seemed to be just a small wish.
"There's no lunch break today. I'm going to practice the piano. Why don't you come with me? " Gu Yinshu reached out and put his arm around her waist, looking at him with gentle eyes.
"practice the piano? Did that teacher chase you so hard? I feel that you've played the piano well enough. There's no need to practice during lunch break. "
Gu Yinshu smiled.
"The teacher thinks that I've played the piano very well, but I don't think it's enough. I must practice my piano better. "
"I don't think you have obsessive-compulsive disorder. Why do you have to practice so well? I think you're already very good at playing the piano. Every time I see you play the piano, I feel like a prince has appeared. "
Hearing the word "Prince" , Gu Yinshu couldn't help but want to laugh. He reached out his hand and pressed it against her forehead.
"Don't act like a fool in front of me. What Prince? "
"How am I a fool? Don't you admit that you're a prince? You're a real prince. In real life, I'm the so-called overbearing president and young master. "
"..."
"Now it's my turn to ask you. How many of these campus romance novels have you read? Your words are really too harsh. Don't think of me as the kind of boy in those little romance novels. "
When Sui Xin heard him say this, he couldn't help but laugh.
"Don't worry, I haven't read those love novels for a long time. Maybe it's because I'm getting older and older. No, I should say that I've grown up. It's impossible for me to continue putting these love novels in my eyes. "
"It's still okay to just casually read them. For example, to maintain your girlish heart. "
Sui Xin didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he immediately reacted.
"How do you know about these love novels of the school weeds Have you read it before Have you read it before If you haven't read it before, how would you know about this campus Belle's romance novel? I didn't expect you, a grown man, to publish a young girl's romance novel. Do you know about it "Even I don't read that kind of novel anymore. "
"If you don't read that kind of novel, why did I read it with so much interest the last time? It's not like I'm reading you, so how could I publish that kind of stupid book? "
If it wasn't for the fact that he wanted to understand him deeply and synchronize his thoughts with him to keep up with the times, how could he really read that kind of stupid romance novel.
He was still so overbearing that the school bully fell in love with me. What the school bully and I had to say was that the school bully shouldn't be angered.
The more explicit the titles were, the more goosebumps he felt. However, he couldn't help but read them with interest.
He thought that she would be able to get some love experience from them, so he let her read them. He decided to flip through a few pages himself.
Who knew that he would confess in front of Suixin just now. It was really embarrassing for him.
He would never have read such a stupid book.
Gu Yinshu started to be arrogant again, and Sui Xin burst into laughter.
"I was bored last time. That time, the teacher punished me to copy those things, so I casually flipped through the love stories of my deskmate. "

On the day of her escape from prison, she had died unexpectedly and was reborn into the body of Madam Huo.
He was the heir to the number one financial magnate. She had charged out of nowhere and from then on, the obedient and weak Madam Huo had started to awaken. She had been trampled under her feet.
Huo Shao had expressed that since she had already been conquered, wouldn't it be too unfair for her if she did not give her body to him?
The muzzle of the gun was aimed at her head, "I only lost my wife and did not divorce. Choose between loving me or dying for love. "
Gu Ruochu,"..."
Do I still have a choice?

While Leon was breaking down his living hall, at the other end of the city, Nikun got his sister, Shea safe and sound.
Nikun wasn't waiting in the Highland club as Shea had thought. Shawn had increased security at Highland club to make sure none of the customers will be affected by anything. Meantime Aaron's team was keeping an eye on Wade Merton's movements.  
Nikun had asked Shea to get ready only when they confirmed Wade had fallen in their trap and was waiting for Shea at the hotel instead of Highland.
Hence, they were aware from the very beginning about Wade following Shea. They weren't sure if Wade had plans to follow her till Highland or had plans to attack in between.
At least one thing was sure, Shea's life wasn't in danger, they wanted her alive to threaten the Morris family.
Nikun was in the private car with the deputy chief of police who was there to witness everything live and catch Wade Merton and his team redhanded.
When Wade entered Shea's car, Nikun's instinctive reaction was to try getting out of the car but the police stopped saying Shea was being followed by another car. Nikun's actions will put her life in more danger.  
At the same time, the deputy chief's subordinate had collected the bottle which had fingerprints of Wade Merton. As soon as the chloroform was confirmed, Nikun dialed Shea's number to check if Wade Merton really made Shea unconscious.
Anyway, they noticed the lady's wallet was thrown out of the window. It was also collected as evidence.
The private inspection was registered as kidnapping and the cops started planning to block the Maserati.
Their car had passed when the black car caught fire but they had no time to fret over it. Then at the next junction, Maserati halted at the traffic signal which was made red to stop Wade.
The cops could have asked him to get out of the car but they didn't take the chance of Wade holding Shea as a hostage.
Being careful, a cop sneaked next to the car and cued Nikun. Nikun pressed on the unlock button from the spare car key fob he had.
When Wade was momentarily bemused, the cops had taken him down.  
Nikun carried his unconscious little sister to the hotel after informing the deputy chief that they will write the complaint the next day.  
A cop had offered to drive them to the hotel considering their safety. Nikun stayed by her side so that she shouldn't panic after waking up.
The face and the name of Shea were decided to keep highly confidential in every proof. The cops also retrieved the video of a spy camera that was installed inside the car which Shea was driving. She had no idea about it.
However, they had planned to reveal Wade Merton to the media which was going to hurt Merton Industries. If it will affect Leon Harmon or not is still a question.
---
At Skyarc penthouse,
Aaron didn't meet Nikun or Shea other than confirming she was fine. He straight went to the penthouse pondering about his out-of-control desire to kill Leon. It wasn't like he would have regretted ending Leon's life. Anyway, he needed Aarvi to calm down completely.
He unlocked the digital lock and entered the penthouse with his jacket on his arm. He was welcomed to a simple yet soothing 'Longing Love.' music. In the softly lighted living hall, his eyes shifted to the piano from where the music was emerging.
He hadn't taught Aarvi yet and she had mentioned she never played Piano even once. So guarded up, he carefully took steps still affected by his earlier behavior at Harmon mansion.
As soon as he saw a messy bun, he knew who it was. He took another step and saw the dainty face of Cupcake. His heart eased up at the sight of her mellowness and affection.
He saw her extremely attentive looking at the keyboard afraid of pressing the wrong key. Despite knowing he was in there and carved to look at him, she couldn't lift her head. He knew it was due to her lack of practice playing the piano.  
Walking closer, he witnessed her lips softly curl up but her focus stayed on the keyboard if not the keynotes.
Throwing his jacket on the couch, he stood behind her snaking a hand around her shoulder. He kissed the crown of her head lovingly. He watched her slender fingers dance on the white and black keys.
He didn't disturb her. He let her play sensing she was playing it for him else she would have sprung to his arms at the sight of him.  
He stood listening to the music, which had little flaws but could be overlooked. All he cared about was, her efforts for him and the music was warming his heart.
The short music note ended soon. Aarvi loosened her shoulder and threw her head back to look at Aaron. Her finger held his forearm, and asked eagerly, "How was it?"  
She was aware she would be flattered but she still tried her luck to know if Aaron was going to tell her the truth or lavish her with compliments to make her smile.
Aaron dipped his head and pressed his lips softly on her forehead, "You are a quick learner." His deep voice held admiration for her.
Aarvi doubted her question but didn't get to ask. She gasped when Aaron wrapped his arm around her waist and easily swiveled her around the stool. He embraced her resting her head on his chest and caressed her head.
Aarvi wanted to wrap her arms around him but Aaron probably didn't see Shawn was lying on the couch. So she held the sides of his shirt to tell him about Shawn
His deep, low voice sounded above her head, planting another kiss on her crown, "It was full of love."
Aarvi smiled to herself, he didn't flatter her but chose the right words to compliment her. Her hands were eager to wrap around him but she couldn't.  
Displeased for not receiving the proper hug, he tightened his arm burying her further in his chest silently indicating her to give a proper hug.
Aarvi poked his waist and turned her face toward the couch where Shawn was watching them as though there was a romance movie playing on the screen.
Aaron followed her line of sight and saw his brother laying on the couch on his stomach with a lot of anticipation. Aaron understood Shawn taught her to play the piano.  
Anyway, Aaron's gaze became sharp and the gentleness he had for Aarvi also vanished.
"Bro, you should award your girlfriend with a toe-curling kiss. Come on, don't waste time." He cheered Aaron to kiss Aarvi.
Aarvi: "..."
Aaron looked at his brother anticipating, "Leave, Shawn." Aaron bluntly asked him to get out of their penthouse.
Shawn sat up on the couch and crossed his legs showing his stubbornness, "Nope, after the next scene." He pulled their legs controlling himself from laughing at them.  
"If you guys start making out, I promise to stay as quiet as a sleeping baby, as invisible as air." He sounded resolute, hiding his mischievousness.  
Avron couple: "..."


'Each betrayal begins with trust' 
~~~
‘Endure a while’ was what her grandfather said.

She endured the curses.
She endured the pain.
She endured the unfairness.
She endured the behest.
She endured the down heart.
She endured many things but what did she get in return? 

Betrayal from her own people.

‘This cruel world is not for innocents.’ She had to learn it forcefully laying on the deathbed wishing to leave the world forever.

But fate plays cruelly.

Now she is back to the same world to stand strong and smile at the evil.

Excerpt:

Aarvi Evans typed a message shamelessly on her mobile, [I need a kiss.] Her lips tugged to a rare mischievous curve clicking on the send button.

It wasn’t even fifteen minutes, her mobile went off. She walked out of the private room of the restaurant and answered the call, “Hel…”

She was suddenly yanked to the opposite private room. Before she could absorb the situation, the door was shut, she was pinned to the wall and a pair of thin soft lips pressed on her forehead calming her nerves.

‘How naive!’ She hadn’t thought he would actually ignore his client just to give her a kiss.

A kiss!

Aaron Rivas would have called her naive if he could hear her thoughts. The next second, Aarvi’s petite face was showered with gentle pecks without leaving an inch unattended.

Aaron paused and said, “Cupcake! you hadn’t mentioned where you needed the kiss.”

He didn't let her react and locked her lips.

A few days passed, and the four of them boarded the ship to sail across to their next location, according to the plan to save the parents of those children back at the orphanage. It turns out, Haru had more ships to spare. 
...or to be more precise, more stolen ships to spare. 
Everyone started to organize their belongings in the rooms that were provided by Haru. Once again, the ladies were assigned to one room and the men to another. The room was furnished with simple furniture, and an opened window that had a great view of the clear, blue sea. A table with two chairs was situated beside the window, along with two beds at the other end of the room. 
It was as Yun stated, this continent was surrounded by water and the most common means of travelling was via a boat. 
Alas, the only person dreading to sail across the sea was only Hana. 
She sat at the bed, hugging her legs to herself as she pouted. 
"We have to ride on a boat again," Hana whined. "I don't want to get sick and vomit again! Why do I only get sick when I'm at the sea?!" 
"I bought another book that taught me how to make medicine for common ailments," Cecil explained, smiling helplessly at Hana. "I made some medicine to help with your seasickness." 
"Is-is it like the bitter medicine like last time?" 
"Well," Cecil shrugged. "All medicines are bitter." 
Hana recoiled back in alarm. "Eee! Bitter medicine!" 
"Vomiting or bitter medicine, which do you prefer?" 
Hana ducked her head down, pouting. "Bitter medicine." 
Cecil walked up to Hana on the bed, and Hana naturally extended her hands out. Cecil placed the bottle of medicine in her hands, her smile somewhat guilty. 
"Sorry, since I do not have the proper equipment to make it into pills, it's liquid. So you'll have to swallow it down." 
Hana paled, her expression wanting to burst into tears. 
She simply placed the bottle of medicine on the bedside table and turned around, before drawing circles on the stark white bedsheet. 
"Bitter medicine. Vomiting. Bitter medicine or vomiting. Both are equally bad. Both are equally bad…" 
Cecil couldn't help but chuckle. 
She approached the table, taking a seat and staring out into the clear, blue sea. She could hear the crew members hollering from upstairs, as they were slowly bringing in crates of food and items to prepare themselves for this trip. 
Just then, a notification popped out from the system informing her of the new upcoming mission. 
[ The mission details will arrive once you land on the next island. ]
[ Look forward to it, Cecil Lan~ ]
Cecil shook her head to herself, sighing. 
At this point, whenever she sees AI500 talking in such a manner, she knew it would be a troubling mission for her. It was then a thought suddenly occurred to her. 
"AI500, since I have chosen to deviate from the original novel storyline, will there be any consequences?" 
[ Of course not~ ]
[ You should know, your presence in this world right now is as good as being one of the protagonist in the story~ ]
"...so I guessed it right." 
"Does that mean...I will be under the effects of being a protagonist in this world?" 
[ … ] 
"What's...what's with the silent response?" 
[ Would you like me to be precise? ] 
"Please do." 
"And why does it sound like you are mocking me?" 
[ Right now, you are siphoning off the aura of the heroine of this novel, Hana Katae. ]
[ In simple words, you are gradually turning into the heroine of this novel. ] 
Cecil froze on the spot. 
"...wh--when did this ever start?" 
[ From the very beginning. ]
If someone were to describe Cecil at this moment, she would be malfunctioning in every part of her brain. 
She slowly swivelled her head to look at Hana, blinking rapidly. 
"..." 
"...so you are saying, me and Hana…" 
[ Yes. ]
Cecil lifted her hand up, pointing between herself and Hana still drawing circles on the bed. 
"That me and her are--" 
[ Yes. ]
"That we switched--" 
[ Yes. ]
"That I am--" 
[ Hah… ]
"Did you...did you just sigh and scoff at the same time?" 
[ … ] 
AI500 stopped responding after that. 
"Hey, wait!" 
"AI500, come back here! I still need to--" 
"...you are just going to ignore me, aren't you?" 
Cecil stared blankly into space, still malfunctioning. The questions currently running through her mind was her comprehending that she was slowly becoming the heroine of this novel.
"Cecil, what are you doing?" Hana questioned, blinking curiously. "Why are you just looking at the air like that?" 
She gasped awake at Hana calling out to her, and she forced a smile on her face. 
"Ha-Hana!" Cecil called out with exaggerated enthusiasm. 
Not knowing what was happening, Hana decided to call out to her friend with the same exaggerated enthusiasm. 
"Cecil!" 
"Hana, you know, I did ask you to read a lot of romance novels in the past," Cecil asked, somewhat nervous. "...and...the heroine and the protagonist always...ends up together, right?" 
"Of course!" Hana nodded, before she lit up. "Ah! And they always kiss too!"
Cecil almost choked on her saliva. 
"Well, sometimes," Hana giggled shyly. "They do take things further." 
This time, Cecil choked on her saliva, coughing harshly. 
Hana was oblivious to Cecil's suffering, continuing on with her babbling. 
"They always kiss so much, it's so cute! And the protagonist is so smooth with the way he kisses!" Hana squealed, standing up and starting to re-enact the scene in the books she always read. "Hands around the waist, or pinned against the wall, or--or the way he tilts up the chin of the heroine, leaning in to kiss--" 
Cecil covered Hana's mouth with her hands. 
"That's...that's enough!" 
Hana tilted her head. 
"Mmmh?" 
Cecil wanted to explode from embarrassment. 
Hana pushed away Cecil's hands from her mouth. "Why are you so red, Cecil? You yourself asked me to read those books last time and summarise them to you, and you did not turn red even once!" 
Cecil squeezed her eyes close. 
That wasn't me! That was the original Cecil Lan! 
And this time is different! 
Because...because…! 
Cecil felt her face burning even more. 
"I'll be going...to breathe in some fresh air," Cecil spilled those words out, rushing to the door. "Don't follow me!" 
Cecil opened the door, and Hana lit up in recognition at that moment. 
"Cecil, are you feeling shy?!" 
She stiffened, turning around to look at the red-haired woman as she stormed out.
"N-no!" 
Just then, Cecil collided into a hard object. 
It was Xue, who raised his hand to knock on the door but Cecil came running out of the door without warning. 
Xue immediately wrapped his arm around Cecil's waist to balance them both, and at that moment, something made the whole ship rock violently. 
There were startled yelps all around. 
"Oi, you bastard! Watch where you are steering your ship! You almost made us drop our stuff into the water!" 
"Sorry! It's my first time maneuvering a ship this big!" 
Cecil opened her eyes, feeling something supporting her head. 
It was Xue's hand, preventing her head from hitting against the wooden wall. 
He withdrew his hand, placing it on the wall beside Cecil's head, his arm was still around her waist. 
Cecil instantly realised the compromising position they were in, her eyes growing wide. The words that Hana spouted out replayed in her mind. 
"Hands around the waist, or pinned against the wall, or--or the way he tilts up the chin of the heroine, leaning in to kiss--" 
Xue leaned in. 
Cecil stilled, her mind becoming blank. Her eyes automatically drifted to Xue's lips that looked utterly soft and plump. 
"Are you alright?" Xue asked softly. 
At that moment, Cecil felt as if someone splashed her with a bucket of cold water and she could finally breathe again. 
Wh-wh-what was I thinking? 
Why am I even looking at his lips?! 
Am I some kind of pervert?! 
Cecil did not know what expression to show, trying to maintain her composure. 
"I'm...fine…" She forced a smile on her face, slowly pushing away Xue's hand from her waist. 
"Oh sorry, my hand…" Xue started to say, trailing off when he saw Cecil sliding down slightly and moving to the side. "...I...uhh…" 
Without any words, Cecil escaped from his arms and walked briskly down the hallway, wanting nothing more than to run out of the area. 
"...?!"
Xue watched her leave, blinking rapidly in confusion. 
Meanwhile, a few fragments inside Xue's head were clapping at his great timing of catching Cecil. 
Xue ignored his noisy soul fragments, turning to look at Hana who had been observing them the entire time with gleaming eyes. 
"Did she...is she avoiding me again?" 
"Hmm?" Hana beamed. "She is just shy!" 
"Shy?" 
"Mhmm!" 
"...why?" 
"Well, that's because we were talking about romance novels…" Hana started to say, before an idea struck her. "Do you want to read romance novels, Xue? I have some with me right now!" 
Xue hesitated. 
Kai: "Romance novels? Sorry, Hana but...no."
Alric: "I read one before, it's surprisingly...cute."
Leonaut: "Cute? How innocent. I have come across other novels that are better, should I ask Xue to get them?" 
Leonaut smirked. 
Zasiok: "Don't listen to him, Alric." 
Sid: "Yuck. Books." 
Isleif: "No." 
"Not interested,"  Xue shook his head at Hana, turning around. "I'll go and find Cecil." 
Hana pouted at her failed attempt to bring in another person to chat about her favourite romance novels. If she could, she would bring K'xug in but alas, he could not read. 
At that moment, Hana decided to pull out her trump card. 
"Cecil loves romance novels, I can show you the ones she loves!" Hana chirped. 
Xue halted, instantly turning back. 
Kai: "I take it back, read them, Xue!"
Alric: "I wonder what kind of romance novels Cecil likes?"
Leonaut: "Innocent? Cute? Or…racy?" 
Alric looked at Leonaut smirking wolfishly to himself. 
Zasiok: "Don't listen to him again, Alric."
Sid: "The books that my goddess loves deserve to be shared." 
Isleif: "Yes." 
Xue stretched out his hand. "Give them to me." 
Hana beamed, nodding eagerly. However, on the inside, she assumed a praying pose out of guilt. 
Sorry, Cecil!
Just this once, let me borrow the power of your presence!
Hana started to push her favourite romance novels onto Xue's outstretched hands, and she grinned from ear to ear. 
"Enjoy them!" 
Xue looked down at the novels in his hands.
Leonaut: "Oh, they don't look like the racy romance novels, huh." 
Zasiok: "It's innocent." 
However, Xue knew nothing about romance books or about romance. The entire time up in the heavenly realm, he only knew about the affairs between the two realms and training to make himself stronger. 
"Are...are you sure Cecil loves reading these...novels?" 
Hana nodded innocently. 
These novels will definitely help you in pursuing Cecil! 
So yes! 
If Cecil knew about Hana's true intentions of recommending Xue those novels, she would have dug a hole in the corner and hide in it due to embarrassment. 
Xue scratched his head, carrying the novels in his hands and walking out of the door. He was startled by K'xug's sudden presence beside the door, his arms across his chest. 
"Damn it, K'xug," Xue heaved out a heavy sigh. "Even now, you still haven't got rid of the habit of appearing out of nowhere." 
K'xug pointed to the books Xue was holding in his hands. 
Xue only nonchalantly moved the books out of K'xug's line of sight. 
"It's something to help me know Cecil better," Xue muttered out, keeping the books close to his chest. "Hana gave them to me." 
K'xug raised his arms in the air. 
Fine.
I'm not interested anyway. 
"If you want something, go ask Hana." 
K'xug frowned in confusion. 
"You look like you want something." 
K'xug pointed to himself, bewildered. 
Xue nodded.
"You aren't here to look for Cecil, or to look for me," Xue stated. "So you can only be here for Hana." 
K'xug scratched at his head. 
Xue shrugged, walking off. 
Since he got the feeling that Cecil was avoiding him once again for unknown reasons, he would study these romance novels that Cecil "loves". 
Meanwhile, K'xug kept his thoughts to himself, his expression conflicted. 
Cecil escaped to the deck of the ship, inhaling the refreshing scent of the ocean breeze. The wind blew by, cooling the heat from her face and someone joined in beside her. 
"Hey, pretty black-haired lady, we meet again!" Kiyae greeted with a wink. 
"You can just call me Cecil." 
"Ah, sorry sorry, I remember appearances better than names," Kiyae chuckled, supporting herself with the wooden fence of the ship. "Where's that red-haired cutie friend of yours?" 
"Are you talking about Hana?" 
"Yes, her, she reminds me of a doll. Ahhh, so cute, I want to hug her!" 
Cecil stared at Kiyae, bewildered. 
"But you are cute too, let me hug you!" 
Kiyae towered over Cecil, and Cecil had no chance to react. She found herself in the warm embrace of Kiyae, her mouth pressed against her chest. 
"I am kind of...kissing your…" 
"We are both women! What are you so shy for!" 
"Mmmph--" 
"Ahh, so soft and so small. I have been waiting for a chance to hug the two of you!" 
"A chance?" 
All of a sudden, Kiyae felt a chill down her spine and she recoiled back with a grin, her arms up in the air. 
"Aw man, time's up, no more hugging." 
Cecil tilted her head, giving Kiyae a confused stare. 
"Your lover is getting unhappy, and jealous." 
"Lover?" Cecil furrowed her eyebrows. "I don't have...one." 
"What? How is it possible?" Kiyae frowned back at her. "It's that handsome gloomy guy with the grey eyes. Not cute at all, I definitely won't hug him." 
"Are you talking about Xue?" 
"Yeah, yeah! That guy!" Kiyae nodded. "Who else can he be other than your lover? His eyes follow you around the entire day, and he gives you a smile that he never shows to anyone else."
Cecil was speechless. 
"Oh damn, don't tell me…" Kiyae leaned in, whispering. "Is his love unreciprocated?" 
"I…" 
"It's true, isn't it? What a sad fella!" 
Kiyae sighed, shaking her head before she perked up, snapping her fingers. 
"Wait...so, that means you are not taken? Great!" 
Kiyae leaned down, tilting Cecil's chin up with her fingers. There was a wolfish smirk on Kiyae's face that seemed more masculine at that moment. She lowered her husky voice even more, sounding seductive. 
"How about picking me? Being a woman myself, I know how to satisfy you better than that gloomy guy--" 
Someone grabbed Kiyae by the collar of her shirt, dragging her back. 
"Stop flirting and get back to work, we still have more things to carry up," Yun chastised. "As long as the person is cute in your eyes, you'll never stop."
"Tch," Kiyae pouted. "At least I'm not slacking off as much as someone else." 
"Stop sleeping, Ryo," Yun warned, just as a black-haired man walked past him with a loud yawn. "Or I'll toss every single alcohol beverage we have in this ship." 
Ryo immediately straightened himself, saluting Yun. "I'll work hard, captain!" 
Yun rolled his eyes. 
"What? Who called me?" Haru walked past them, carrying a crate in his arms. "Oh, Ryo?" 
"I'll work hard!" 
"O-oh…" 
Ryo scrambled off, carrying two crates on his shoulders. 
"Keep your hands off her, Kiyae," Yun advised. "Or her lover will sink the whole ship down with you." 
"He's not my--" 
Yun started to drag Kiyae away who was looking at Cecil with sad eyes. Haru walked up to Cecil, grimacing. 
"Hey, pretty lady. Keep your lover happy, alright? I don't want him to sink another ship of mine again." 
Haru felt a chill down his spine as well, wincing as he scuttled off. 
"For the last time, he's not my--" 
Cecil was cut off by a sudden announcement from the system. 
[ It is apparent now that Xue is only looking at you like a protagonist would at his heroine. ] 
[ The characters in this world have started to recognise it as well. ] 
[ Your status as a love interest has changed. ]
"Please don't tell me--" 
[ Congratulations! You have unlocked the rarest achievement "Steal the Role of the Female Lead"! Celebrate and rejoice, Cecil Lan! ]
[ You have twenty-one achievements left! ] 
"..." 
Cecil was speechless once again.

"Transmigrating into a cannon fodder villain from her favourite novel, Cecil Lan, our heroine decides to change her entire fate.

Her only goal was to prevent her precious protagonist from meeting the miserable ending, and to help him live happily ever after with the main female lead. 

It was all going well until...the protagonist falls in love with Cecil Lan instead, including all of his other fifty soul fragments scattered throughout the world."

As Jessica Magiting, I wasn't fond of reading and studying at all. I would always have a "barely" passing grade when I studied in school.

The only subject I had an exceptional grade at was physical education if it wasn't obvious. Also, the character development subject.

From the start of my education, I never cared about numbers so this wasn't much of a bother to me. However, I did start to care a little bit more because when I failed an exam back in elementary, I was immediately removed from the team in a national tournament. After that, I started to do my best to pass exams. It was quite traumatizing for the seven-year-old child that loved playing volleyball.

Well, it wasn't like I didn't fully care about academics but it was more because my focus was just for sports. My brain couldn't comprehend too much useless information. Everything taught in school would just go to in one ear and out the other. Even if I forced myself to listen, I just couldn't.

So, in that sense, Jessica and Nera are basically still the same person. Just in different eras, clearly, different worlds. It's amazing now that I think about it.

But from the memories that had just returned, there was one thing that Nera had a major difference in with Jessica.

As Nera, the only thing I care about is anything that involved knighting. That's it.

But as Jessica, I had two hobbies, rather unhealthy addiction, which were volleyball and romance novels.


Romance novels.

Why?

I despised reading but romance novels became an exception. It was my past time if I wasn't playing volleyball.

When I had injured my ankle in the first year of my high school life and was forced to rest for a whole month, my friend suggested me to read.

    "Me? Read? Do you even know me?" I said with my voice shaking, audibly shocked, matched with my facial expressions.

A friend, whom I had for 6 years, was suggesting me to read.

Placing her hand on my shoulder while giving a deep, disappointed sigh.

    ["Why? You can't even do anything else right now?"]

    ["Shut up."]

    ["Pfft. Just tell me if you aren't up for the challenge."] She snickered at me, quite proudly, while crossing her arms.

She was provoking me, quite obvious now that I recall.

But at that time, the naive me was restless, uneasy, and was desperate for something to do inside my hospital room.

My pupils shook and they swiftly glared at her. She was smirking. I heaved a breath out.

    ["Oh no, Jessica. I never thought that you'd be this weak."]

    ["You're mocking me now?"]

    ["Just try it! I won't force you again if you just try reading two chapters."] Giggling, she handed me a rather thin book, compared to what she normally brings at school.

    ["Hah. Just two chapters. Seems easy enough."]


And there, I fell into her trap.

She left the book to me then came back the next day. To her surprise, even mine, I actually read past two chapters.

    ["I thought you said you didn't like reading. How are you already past 50 chapters?"] With a wide grin on her face, she closed her distance to me and crossed her arms.

Almost glared at her out of annoyance but instead, I replied grinning back.

    ["Alright, I admit it. This is pretty fun to read. It's simple and enjoyable too."]

She jumped and hugged me.

    ["I can't wait to share my recommendations! I'm not gonna let you rest!"]

Before I knew it, I got addicted to these written literature.

During that time when I was injured, I didn't have anything else to do but read novels. I still had to go to school and do schoolwork but who cares about that.

Since I couldn't go to volleyball practices right after I was discharged from the hospital, my pastime was reading romance novels.

I got hooked to them because most of them were easy reads. Some did have heavy plots, descriptive paragraphs, and lengthy pages, but most of them were cliched plotlines. Which I came to love.

Most of them were cute and adorable, and at the same time, they were cheesy and easy to make fun of.

    "Pfft. What? How could he have fallen over her even though they were so far apart? And exactly on the lips too?" I laughed loudly.

Most of what I read was stupid that it made me feel smart for the while I was reading them. I enjoyed it way too much.

    ["The bad boy trope is so stupid."]

    ["Then why are you still reading that book?"]

    ["Because it's stupid."]

    ["What's that supposed to mean?"]

    ["It's fun to read cause I love how unreal these are!"]

There were romance novels that were exceptionally good and I had fun reading them too but what I read the most was the ones with the cheesy cliched tropes. I loved reading them because it fell under the 'it's so bad that it's good' category. I loved criticizing them with my friends.

    ["Why do they react like they're gonna die from that small wound? Going to the hospital from tripping over a rock? Really?" I chuckled again. "Haaa, I love these."]

I smile as I came back to recall my novel reading days.

As Nera, I didn't have time to check out books since I was preparing to be a knight. The only things I cared about were my body, specifically my techniques and strength, and upholding the honor of our family.

But now, I have regained my precious memories.

As well as my addiction to these written works of art.

Oh god, I can't wait to read all the romance novels in this world... I wonder how many of them are here in this mansion's library?

Ah, wait a minute! I got sidetracked!

I shook my head as I realize that I was far away from my original objective. That's not the problem right now!

I'm in a novel that I read before! I'm sure of it!

I closed the books in front of me. While sighing, I closed my eyes and sat down quite violently. Leaned on the backrest of the wooden chair and let my head rest back.

I stared at the ceiling for a while with no thoughts whatsoever.

After a few minutes, my hands covered my face then I shouted. A muffled scream was heard around the library but no one was around to hear it.

How the hell did I end up here?

I am Nera mi Ponterise, the third child of the Marquess Ponterise Family. One of the founding familes and sword of the Empire. 

We pride ourselves as a family of knights. 

All my life, I've trained to become a knight, living happily as the child of this great renowned family. 

But what I didn't know is that I was reincarnated in my favorite romance novel this whole time! 

I have been living with my favorite characters and I didn't even notice! How am I going to interact with them now that I know what's going happen between their relationship?

And because this world is a romance novel, I have an arranged marriage with the Duke? I'm going to be married with this smartass jerk! I've read too much romance novels to see where this is going but will it really go that way with this guy?

How is this happening to me?

Is my life ever going to be the way I wanted it to be before I realized I was reincarnated?
