New World, New Life: I Became A Bigshot In The Ancient World
Excerpt
Aristia could not help but stare at the platinum blonde a few steps in front of her. She seemed to sparkle with a glow that drew people in around her. Something that only happened to the main character of a novel.
[Is that stupid book sure I'm the female lead?] She thought, her jaws almost going slack.
At this point, she was sure she was deluding herself— or the book was deluding her.
She didn't know why, but she already disliked the girl.
[This is definitely not jealousy.]
She rubbed her brows, watching how the innocent, naive looking girl exuding female lead aura was being flocked around already by others.
"Fuck, I'm in deep shit!"

Aristia Andrews had just come back home from work and prepared to go to sleep, when she was given a novel.
Nothing strange about that though, huh?
But just after she had completed the novel, she woke up to find herself tossed into a whole new world. Taken from her world and the life she deemed perfect, and tossed into a not-so-ideal world.
She becomes Aristia Amberale, the beloved five year old daughter of the only Grand Duke and Imperial Prince of the kingdom, said to be loved by all in the kingdom.
Now part of royalty, she has to get accustomed to living in a backward world of Kings and Queens, Dukes, Marquises, Earls, Viscounts and Barons. Just the titles and hierarchy were enough to make her smart head spin.
With beautiful and loving parents and relatives, a hopelessly adorable younger brother who just might be a sis-con, loyal-to-the-death servants and a smart brain, join Aristia as she enjoys eating and making delicious cuisines, forms unique friendships, and creates successful businesses.
However, she finds all is not as she thought it was; there just might be something bigger than she expected that the book did not reveal— something that could turn her well balanced world upside down.
First of all, she discovers that her character is actually hated and not loved.
Then, she finds out she's not really the female lead.
Now... she has a lot of mysteries surrounding her to unfold, and secrets to uncover, and perhaps she'll find a dash of love along the way.
But...
"Hey, why are you looking at me with those eyes? The female lead is over there."
"You, stop following me around, will you? You're supposed to hate me!"
"Stay back, all of you! What's wrong with you?!"
But most importantly... why are these obviously important characters not leaving her alone? And why was the cold, unloving soon-to-be Emperor of that powerful Empire paying attention to her instead of the female lead? It wasn't supposed to be like this...
