Novel Web & Cerita Independent Royal Dark Romance

I booked the island to sleep with a stranger. One week, someone beautiful, nothing that follows me home. After five years alone I'd decided my body was mine to spend. I never made it to the second night. I wake in mud, under stars in the wrong places, six hundred years before I was born. Eleven days later I'm standing on an auction block in a medieval market, barefoot and bleeding, refusing to look at the floor while a stranger checks my teeth. That's when the crowd goes quiet. He's the biggest thing I've ever seen — black and gold, a wolf pelt across one shoulder, more money on his hands than this valley will see in a lifetime. He doesn't bid. He kills the man who does. "Don't thank me," he says. "I didn't save you. I claimed you." Lucien St. Claire is an alpha wolf shifter and the immortal lord of a mountain kingdom where gold is so worthless they line the gutters with it. He's arrogant, possessive, filthy-mouthed — and immovable about one thing. He won't touch me while I'm wearing his collar. Fine. I'll take it off myself. That's how it starts. It isn't how it ends. Two centuries later, in a city of canals and masks, we're the couple everyone wants at their table and nobody dares cross. His name on the banks. Mine on my own door. We had eight good years before it came apart. Now I'm thirty-five, legally dead, standing in a century I don't recognise and ten years late. And somewhere in this city, a billionaire CEO has been quietly buying the world since 2020 — because if he owned enough of it, he'd eventually find what he lost. He's had six years to get ready for me.

Evelina Rosenthal thought death was the end of her story. Instead, Evelina woke up inside the world of a novel she once read—and discovered the cruelest truth of all. Evelina had been reborn as the villainess, the woman destined to be hated, betrayed, and eventually killed by the very people around her. Before Evelina could accept her fate, a mysterious voice echoed in her mind. SYSTEM ACTIVATED. Welcome, Host. Main Mission: Change Your Fate. Failure: Death. With knowledge of the original storyline and the mysterious System by her side, Evelina decides to rewrite every event that once led to her downfall. But changing the story proves harder than expected. Especially when Lucien Valemont, the cold and powerful Duke who was supposed to become her enemy, begins taking an unusual interest in Evelina. As Evelina uncovers forbidden magic, royal conspiracies, hidden secrets, and the true purpose of the System, one question begins to haunt her: Was Evelina truly given a second chance… or was the System the one that chose her fate?
