#Villainess #Showbiz #Unrequited_Love #System Maevie Oz has a long one-sided crush of ten plus years on the Super Idol, Jiang Yuan, who in return of her affection always showed her his indifference. She even joined the survival show, Tomorrow’s Idol, just be in the same frame as him. One night she came to know that she was never a part of what she thought was her family. She was an outsider who took advantage of the little kindness shown to her. Then she got into a road accident. Maevie was notified of being bounded by a system which strived to correct the paths of villains and villainess and lead a happy, successful, and evil free life. The system told her that she was a villainess character in a world where Sienne was the protagonist. Her karmic value was negative and would invite only hatred from others. To redeem herself, she was sent to ten different worlds as training and got a skill as a reward for each world she successfully completed. After what seemed like centuries, she was finally back to her own world. She woke up in a hospital. Her centuries of journey were merely 10 hours in her real world. As taught to her, in the future, she would not compete with Sienne for the affections she got. She would not go after Luther like a lost puppy and be a hinder to him. This time she would focus on herself. Be a better Maevie. . . . Luther has a tail he could never get rid of since the first time they met when he was 17. Now he was 28 and she still followed him to the survival show despite her lack of talent and interest of being an idol. But ever since she was caught in the multiple scandal, she was a changed person. She no longer appeared in every place he went. He heard she stopped bulling her little sister. She was no longer a snarly impolite girl who only knew how to whine and complain. Luther thought that it would not last long. But she remained consistent to this character. He deliberately appears in front of her to see her reaction. She still smiles at him when she gave him the lunch box. But he was not the only one she gives it to. It was clear that she still idolized him. But he was not special to her anymore. Luther had never thought that such a day would finally come. His tail of 12 years was finally leaving his side. But there was one thing he did not expect. He never expected that he would be the one to hate this change.

A teenage mage of humble birth and slightly above-average skill, Zorian is attending his third year of education at Cyoria's magical academy. A driven and quiet young man, he is consumed by a desire to ensure his own future and free himself of the influence of his family, resenting the Kazinskis for favoring his brothers over him. Consequently, Zorian has no time for pointless distractions, much less other people's problems. As it happens, though, time is something he is about to get plenty of. On the eve of Cyoria's annual summer festival, Zorian is murdered, then abruptly brought back to the beginning of the month, just before he was about to take the train to school. Finding himself trapped in a time loop with no clear end or exit, he will have to look both within and without to unravel the mystery set before him. He does have to unravel it, too, because the loop clearly wasn’t made for his sake, and in a world of magic even a time traveler isn't safe from those who wish him ill. Fortunately for Zorian, repetition is the mother of learning…
