As a kid, Grandma's stories were all about a lovesick maid and a prince, thwarted by a villain who never quit. But here I am, waking up in a princess gown that weighs a ton, with flaming red hair and eyes like bling-bling. Seriously, universe? Turns out, I'm Meredia Seraphine Valtoria, the forgettable princess of Dukedom Saltorra. The punchline? I'm already dead in this story, a ghostly cameo before it even starts! Thanks, fate. But no more Miss Nice Princess. Royalty? Nah. Impending doom? Not my scene. With the finesse of a startled squirrel, I'm hightailing it-from that pesky villain and this ridiculous plotline.“Haha, do you believe that I would have affection for a woman such as yourself? Furthermore, could you possibly think that I would enter into matrimony with a lady of rural upbringing? It is evident that you do not align with my preferences, you foolish individual." Hwang Yu-Jin expressed in an exasperated manner. "Indeed, can you honestly believe that you are deserving of being Yu-Jin's fiancée, let alone his wife? He has never harbored any love for you. You are merely an inexperienced girl from the countryside trying to take everything away from me." Song-Ae-cha declared, delivering a forceful kick to Song-Chae-yeong's abdomen with her shoe, causing her to painfully cough up a mouthful of blood. Song-Chae-yeong gazed at the man she had adored for as long as she could remember, accompanied by her trusted step sister. To her utter dismay, they both proved disloyal and treacherously turned against her. Rivulets of scorching tears cascaded down her exquisite, blood-stained countenance, as she lay motionless upon the elevated shoreline of the majestic lake, consumed by agony and sorrow. "Let us not squander precious time in this location, lest we attract unwanted attention and arouse suspicion," Yu-jin cautioned, his gaze fixed upon the lifeless form of Song-Chae-yeong, firmly grasping Song-Ae-cha's waist. "Very well, proceed to dispose of her in the sea and relinquish her to the marine life," Ae-cha uttered maliciously as Yu-Jin stepped away from her side and proceeded to drag Chae-yeong's lifeless body, who was barely breathing, and cast her into the sea from a great height. "Let us depart, my dear," Ae-cha declared whilst forcefully pulling Yu-Jin's arm, and together they turned their backs, walking away without glancing back. "Excuse me, awaken and cease your snoring resembling that of a swine," Song-Chae-yeong heard a voice as she sluggishly opened her eyes and surveyed her surroundings, realizing she was in a classroom. "What just happened?" ...She didn't know but it was so real. "How long has she slept to see all this while sleeping" she thought, wiping her face with her small soft palm hand. "What I definitely see isn't a joke, it's something about my past life, God loves me to return me back to life and set all things right, things repeat itself if care is not taken and I will make sure it never happened again and revenge and pay back 100 times with whoever ever hurts me and my loved ones in my past life." grab your popcorn and find out how she managed to survive. she lose? or win? each chapters shall let us know what happened and how she ends her life. let’s go and give it a shot.

GOLD WINNER OF WPC #215 (FORBIDDEN LOVE) --- The demon Azren had a soft heart and a different appearance from other demons.

His delicate and timid personality often hindered him from completing the tasks given by the King of Hell. Lucifer, the King of Hell, couldn't take it anymore and decided to punish him. The King decided to seal his demonic power and sent him to the human world to do a mission. But, before the young demon was sent to the human realm, Lucifer warned him not to fall in love with a human. The troubled demon, under the name of Azren Theophane, started his journey in the human world as an assistant to a young, childish, and rude idol named Michy Hagnon. He thought his task would be simple, but it turned out the idol had a complicated life that made it difficult for him to complete his task. Why did Lucifer prohibit him from falling in love with a human? Will Azren be able to complete the mission? Or will Azren break the rules and fall in love with a human instead? --- “Don’t you ever fall in love with a human, Azren!” --- “So, your name is Azren Theophane?” The silver-haired boy questioned the guest. “Yes, Sir,” the blonde man replied. “Sir?” Michy asked him again as he raised his tone a little. “I’m not even 18, but you call me Sir?” --- Author's note: 1. I use some demons and angels' names in this novel, but this novel is not related to any religions or mythology. This novel is based on my imagination, so the demons' story in this novel probably will be different from other demons novels out there. 2. Soft-hearted top x dual personality bottom. 3.
