[If you are looking for a slow romance, you can give it a check if not, you'll be disappointed] Aera, a young 28-year-old was about to make her dream debut by opening her own floral shop that could be shipped in and around. Nevertheless, things didn't go as she planned. One would say that transmigrating to a book sound like a fantasy, however to Aera, it became a nightmare when she woke up in an unknown world even when she hasn't died yet. With an unexpected turnout, her life was hanging by a thin thread. Aera was presented with an option-either she goes back to her world with her memory erased or enter the other world, and comes back with the memory intact to have her revenge. Never did she expect of choosing the worst villain of all. A character in a book where she killed the Empress and her unborn child. Worst, the male lead was reborn time after time with his memory intact. His grudge still hung on torturing the villainess. Even more worst, the ML was a split image of her long-time crush. ----- "Do you hate me that much?" As soon as the question was raised, a table lamp flew past through the said person, smashing against the wall behind him. "More than enough to kill you right now." The female figure responded with nothing but hatred and disgust in her tone. Her jewel eyes that glow under the dark never left her gaze on the other male person who was sitting on her opposite. ----- The male lead wasn't the only one Aera had to put a guard on but even other characters when one after the other began to make an appearance. The more the flow gets out of the plot the more twisted it gets. Her only goal was to survive so she could go back home.  P.S:- English is not my first language and I am weak in grammar. I'll be happy to receive either a critics or feedback or comments...^-^ Please do give it a read till chapter 3 or above to get the clear picture.

Full Title: I Entered My Brother's Novel, But the Main Character Stole My Fiancée—So I'll Marry Her Father Instead. Eleanor Gwendolyn was a side character in the last novel my younger brother wrote before he mysteriously vanished—a character burdened with a miserable fate. Betrayed by her fiancé, who chose her childhood friend with a higher status, Eleanor’s reputation was dragged through the mud. Determined to clear her name, she poured everything into winning the Crown Princess Tournament. Just as victory was within her grasp, her dreams were shattered in the cruelest way imaginable. On the day she was to be named the Crown Princess, the Crown Prince publicly rejected the election, claiming it had been conducted without his consent. Worse still, he proposed to Eleanor’s childhood friend—the same woman who had stolen her fiancé—right in front of the entire court. In a single moment, Eleanor’s painstaking efforts to restore her honor crumbled, leaving her humiliated once again. "What a pitiful, wretched life," I had thought as I read her story. It was almost as if my brother had based Eleanor on me—quiet, introspective, and constantly overshadowed. But out of all the characters in his novel, why did I have to wake up as her? Now, trapped in Eleanor Gwendolyn’s body, I face the grim reality of her doomed fate. To make matters worse, the plot unfolds exactly as my brother wrote it. I have no choice but to rewrite my own destiny while searching for him in this world he created. When all else fails and the original plot corners me, I’ll make the boldest move yet: I’ll marry the father of the so-called “heroine” who stole my fiancé. Because this time, I’m the author’s older sister—and I’ll be the one controlling the story. Author's Note: From the beginning until chapter 20, the story primarily focuses on introducing the Main Character's family. Since the MC is still recovering, most of the events take place at home, making the early plot feel somewhat slow. However, I assure you that after chapter 20, the story becomes much more engaging. Please stick with it, and thank you for reading!

Yet with the media circling, jealous exes scheming, and secrets threatening to surface, the line between make-believe and reality blurs.

Who wants to become president? What if people's thoughts could overthrow a dictator? What if fire could cleanse a country of corruption? What if a revolution could start with a single photograph? The story is about how people can try to overthrow a dictator in a rather unusual, unconventional way. After all, any idea manifests itself at a certain and designated time. Ideas - whose time has come - have enormous power. People have known and used magic since time immemorial. All magical rituals are based on supernatural, immaterial forces, incomprehensible and therefore not yet recognized by science. Magical and paranormal phenomena and abilities have much in common, since they use forces and factors that cannot be explained scientifically. All living beings and people are not just material bodies. There is something in them other than matter, and therefore they are able to perceive what is beyond the physical world. Almost always, in order for something fresh, new and better to appear, the rotten old must be destroyed and burned. Fire is a symbol of change, transformation and rebirth. The element of Fire functions at the center of all things - everything came from it and everything will return to it.

In a world constantly threatened by monsters and catastrophes, Kazuto was just an ordinary man living a dull, uninspired life—until he got fired from his job and lost all sense of purpose. Empty and unmotivated, his fate changed the day he crossed paths with Riku, a 15-year-old boy carrying a letter of utmost importance for his father. As they chatted, a grotesque monster attacked, enraged over a hilariously petty grievance: someone had scribbled insults on its back during its transformation. Determined to protect Riku, Kazuto confronted the monster, rediscovering a spark of heroism he'd long forgotten since childhood. Against all odds, he defeated the monster using sheer wit, saving Riku, who thanked him before continuing his journey. Inspired by the encounter, Kazuto made a life-altering decision: to train beyond human limits and become the strongest man alive. After three years of grueling, almost absurd training, Kazuto’s strength reached unimaginable levels. Now, he can obliterate any threat with a single punch, but his overwhelming power has left him trapped in a life of boredom. With no challenges, no glory, and no recognition, Kazuto finds himself facing a new kind of enemy: monotony. Everything changes when Tatsuya, a young and stoic cyborg, clashes with a monstrous insect in a fierce battle. Despite his incredible power, Tatsuya is on the brink of defeat. At the last moment, Kazuto steps in and annihilates the monster with a single blow. Awestruck by Kazuto's overwhelming strength, Tatsuya pleads to become his disciple, convinced that this man holds the key to reaching perfection in his own quest for power.
