Shadow Of Hearts

What if you were suddenly isekai'd in another world? But you're just... YOU. You probably think, "Lucky me, right?" Especially for someone who loves Isekai stories, mysteries, and comedy-dramas—it's the perfect escape from reality. But instead of waking up as a princess, a mysterious baby, or a cunning villainess, you're just... YOU. No magical powers, no royal lineage, not even the perks of being a maid in a powerful family. Just you, stranded with no money, no family, and—fantastic—I’m a captive who could die at any second. How can I even survive in a world full of deception and manipulation? Let me at least have a prince who is foolish in love, a northern duke whose cold yet soft inside, or at least a cheatsheat for me to survive! Now, survival isn't just about staying alive—it's about figuring out how to navigate this ridiculous situation and maybe, just maybe, getting a little payback and a bountiful pile of gold for my hard work! Notes: Original Title are 'In the world of Dominance' in other platform.

I smiled approvingly, almost getting up from the bench where I sat. "No sit." He said coming closer to sit next to me. The bench was quite small so we were so close to each other. He leaned in and I could smell him more the closer he got to my face. His lips were now inches away from mine and the moment they touched I closed my eyes, I didn't know why but I did. He didn't put his tongue in my mouth, it was as simple as it could get, just a warm kiss and I as glad he didn't. When he lips left mine, I opened my eyes licking my lips. He was smiling, I hadn't yet told him how much I loved his smile. "You lied." I told him. "About what?" He stopped smiling. "You said you were a bad kisser."
