Marriage Redemption

A Villainess's Redemption as a Doctor

Minseok Lee had just finished his final exam, the one he'd been studying for over the past few weeks, and it felt like the weight of the world had been lifted off his shoulders.  He was officially a doctor now—one of the youngest ever in his prestigious medical university.  A new chapter in his life was about to begin.  He smiled as he crossed the street, his thoughts already drifting to his future: perhaps a research position, maybe a residency abroad.  "Maybe" Then, in an instant, the world flipped. A screeching sound filled the air as a truck came barreling toward him.  He didn't even have a chance to process the impact before everything went black. - ??? - When Minseok regained consciousness, it wasn't the sterile, white lights of a hospital room that greeted him, but the dim, ornate chandeliers of a vast, foreign bedroom.  He blinked several times, groaning softly as his vision cleared.  His head felt foggy, his body uncomfortably warm, like he had just woken from a fever dream.  Slowly, he sat up, hands trembling as he adjusted the thick, luxurious sheets around him.  Something didn't feel right.  The air was heavy, charged with an unnatural tension, as he had somehow wandered into an unfamiliar world. Confused, Minseok stood, only to stumble.  His legs, not his own, felt unfamiliar beneath him. Slender and weak.  He looked down in a panic. What...? He gasped as he took in the sight of the delicate, flowing gown. An intricate dress of gold and violet silk, clinging to a body that was most certainly not his own.  Long, platinum blonde hair cascaded around him like a waterfall, framing a face with sharp, aristocratic features.  His fingers, slender and elegant, were adorned with glistening jewels, and his reflection in the mirror across the room confirmed the horrifying truth: he wasn't Minseok Lee anymore. He was someone else. Princess Seraphina Lumastra. Minseok's breath caught in his throat as fragmented memories began to surge through him. An avalanche of emotions, thoughts, and experiences that did not belong to him.  Seraphina Lumastra, a villainess in this unfamiliar world, is notorious for her cruelty, arrogance, and, worst of all, her inevitable downfall.  He had read about her tragic end at the hands of a hero she had wronged in a story he'd once skimmed for fun. But this wasn't a novel.  This was reality.  His reality.  "No..." he whispered hoarsely, his voice carrying the regal accent of a princess.  "No, no, no... How did this happen?" Panic started to consume him.  He had died.  He had to have died, right?  The truck, everything, it had to be an accident, some bizarre twist of fate.  But now, here he was, inside the body of someone who was destined for tragedy. His mind raced with thoughts.  He didn't know how or why, but somehow, he was trapped in Seraphina's life... her fate. His fate. A cold shiver ran down his spine as the reality of it all settled in.  He was a doctor, he had helped save lives.  Now he was a villainess in a kingdom teetering on the edge of war.  The future, as it had been written, was inescapable.  Seraphina's marriage was just around the corner, to a prince who would come to despise her.  Her reign as the kingdom's most feared woman would end in a bloody coup, one he might have to face sooner than he wanted. But Minseok was no longer just some passive observer in a world of stories. He had a chance.  A second life.  And somehow, he would find a way to rewrite this twisted fate.  He wouldn't let it end like that.  Not if he had any say in the matter. With a deep breath, he steadied himself.  The memory of a doctor's resolve settled in his chest, calming his panic.  No matter the body he was in, he was still Minseok Lee.  And he wasn't going to go down without a fight. Not as Princess Seraphina Lumastra. But as Minseok Lee.

The bully's redemption

The circle held its breath as Damon’s challenge hung in the air, heavy with tension. His voice was light, but his words dripped with provocation. “Xavier, would you rather have the undivided attention of a mysterious person for the rest of the night… or get your dream car?” Xavier’s smirk sharpened, his eyes gleaming with something far more dangerous than amusement. “I choose the first,” he said, his gaze locking onto Kamsi. Her heart stuttered, her pulse quickening under the weight of his stare. Damon’s grin widened. “Then seduce someone here. Fifteen seconds. No touch. No explicit words. Just your charm.” The air grew thick, crackling with anticipation. The room leaned in as Xavier rose slowly, like a predator stalking its prey. His eyes never wavered from Kamsi, who could feel her resolve slipping under his relentless focus. She told herself it was just a game. But the way he moved, the way his presence engulfed her, made her wonder: What happens when a game stops being a game? When Kamsi Chibuike arrived in Washington, D.C., she craved a fresh start—a place where she could blend into the background and escape her past. But blending in was impossible once she crossed paths with Xavier Alastair, the untouchable bully who ruled Washington DC International School with a smirk that promised trouble. Their first encounter left her humiliated, furious… and unforgettable in his eyes. Xavier thrives on power, his sharp tongue and devilish charm keeping everyone at arm’s length. Yet, Kamsi’s defiance sparks something in him—something he can’t ignore. She becomes his favorite target, their clashes more intense with each encounter. But the more they push each other, the more Kamsi senses that beneath Xavier’s cruelty lies something broken, something real. What starts as a battle of wills turns into a dangerous game of attraction, where every insult masks a deeper truth and every glance threatens to ignite something uncontrollable. As Kamsi is drawn into Xavier’s chaotic world, she realizes that he isn’t just the school’s bully—he’s a storm threatening to tear through everything she thought she knew. The Bully’s Redemption is a gripping, tension-filled story of fierce enemies, forbidden desires, and the thin line between hate and passion. In a world where games can become deadly, and redemption seems impossible, Kamsi and Xavier must decide: Will they destroy each other, or will they find salvation in the chaos?
