Betrayed by the man she loved and bound to a crown that no longer holds meaning, an empress chooses freedom over titles—only to discover that even love forsaken can rise again from ruin.
“Even the moon can rise again after being eclipsed by the sun.”
“He was of the empire. She became the moon that outshone him.”
—
Bound by duty. Betrayed by love. Reborn by choice.
Elisana Laurel De Claire, daughter of a grand ducal house, was destined to be Empress - and for a time, she believed in the fairytale. Betrothed since childhood to her dearest friend, Crown Prince Marcus, their union was meant to bring peace and glory to the Salastian Empire.
But love fades beneath the weight of power. When another woman captures the Emperor's heart, Elisana's world shatters. Neglected, accused, and stripped of affection, she makes a choice no one expects - she walks away from the crown.
Years later, when rebellion threatens the empire, fate brings them together once more. This time, Marcus must face the woman he once forsook - not as his Empress, but as his equal.
Amid courtly intrigue, forgiveness, and the fragile bloom of second chances, The Forsaken Empress tells a story of heartbreak and healing - where even the moon can rise again after the darkest night.

Izuku Midoriya had always believed his Quirk was the cruelest joke fate could play. “Train,” they called it. But it didn’t build muscle. It didn’t awaken hidden strength. All it did was teach the neighborhood dogs a few tricks. While his classmates dreamed of glory, he was stuck with leashes and plastic bags.
Until one day, the sky split open and a horned goddess in purple spandex descended right in the middle of the city: Mt. Lady. A ridiculous accident, an even more ridiculous landing—and suddenly Izuku uncovered the truth. His Quirk didn’t train animals… it trained human bodies. It enhanced, corrected, perfected.
One touch, one spark of energy, and impossible curves came to life. A hormonal mistake led him to the greatest revelation of his existence: maybe he wasn’t born to be the strongest hero. But he was born to be… the secret trainer of the world’s most powerful heroines.

Life is ironic. Love and hatred are but two sides of the same coin. Emotions change quickly.
Sometimes she was too slow, maybe that was why she didn’t see it coming.

To the one she thought she knew, the wounded her ended up saying,
“You were my one and only real friend, I thought I was yours too.”
“… You are right. And because you are, I need you to die,” he had answered.
***
To the one she thought would never understand her, the suffering her requested,
“A lie. Just a last one, before my death... Lie to me again.” Despite the pain, the smile on her face was sweet, a genuine one as she made that plea.
“I love you,” he had whispered.

I opened my eyes in a novel I once read — as Emilia Evelisse Valmont, the villainess destined to be abandoned, accused, and condemned. They called her the Ice Queen: flawless, untouchable, and unloved. Her engagement shattered, her reputation ruined, her end inevitable… unless I chose to live differently.
But this is not my story.
From the Crown Prince’s eyes, she was only ever cold — until the day he saw her laugh. To the world, she was a villainess. To him, she became something else entirely. His curiosity turned into fascination, his mask began to crack, and the ‘Ice Queen’ who was meant to fall became the woman he could no longer look away from.
A reincarnated villainess. A perfect noble mask. And a romance told from the man who never expected to find his heroine in her.

Saintess Constance wakes up in a glass coffin with the words “That’s not my name” on her lips. Looking around at the people diligently praying to her, she has the sudden, horrible feeling that this fact is the least of their concerns.
Forced into a quest with the only qualified person to slay demons, a handsome if mouthy duke, she has no choice but to keep praying.
Too bad that’s all she knows how to do.
“Dear Goddess,” she beseeches with all her heart, “do something useful.”
A creature made from nightmares goes flying past behind her with a crash.
“I’ll kill you all!” The handsome duke screams like a lunatic, sword held high and chasing it.
She continues to pray harder.

Reborn as a scorned noble with “useless” plant magic, she inherits a salt‑bitten coast riddled with pirates and bad soil. Everyone calls it hopeless. She calls it paradise.
So she does what botanists do: test, train, and grow. Mangroves and windbreaks. Rain traps and smarter drills. Krav Maga for thirty‑five stubborn soldiers who don’t trust her yet.
And love interests who can’t help but be drawn in: an illegitimate son with grudges, a foreign prince, a shrewd count, and the archduke’s heir—the empire’s most eligible bachelor, hiding secrets of his own.
In the original story, she was meant to die in obscurity. This time, she’ll make the march a kingdom, one root and one fight at a time.

He made it! Naruto Uzumaki, the number one unpredictable ninja, has just graduated! The world is at his feet, the ramen tastes like victory, and his path to becoming Hokage has finally begun.

There's just one problem...
To "update someone's status," he needs... for them to be a girl? And to use his own blood to draw?
Naruto's path to becoming Hokage has just taken a complete 180. Forget about hard work; his new mission is to survive puberty, assemble the best team in history, and convince Konoha's strongest kunoichi to let him draw on their backs!

In the year 3999, Crystallphaos shines like a beacon of magic and technology — yet beneath its surface, fears and prophecies simmer. A group of young adventurers — the silent Prometheus, the spirited Hitomi, the fearless Brek, the sharp-eyed archer Laima, and the enigmatic Noctua — are drawn into a mission that seems impossible: to cross the Shadow Ravine, a place from which few have ever returned.
Their journey becomes a nightmare filled with battles, demons, and haunting visions. Prometheus faces revelations about a destiny he cannot escape, learning to draw strength not only from crystals, but from his companions themselves. The team’s bond is tested, as the line between life and death grows dangerously thin.
But the end of the mission is not the end of the story — it’s only the beginning. Because behind the battles and sacrifices lies something greater: a soul that arrived in a world starved for light and hope, to herald the dawn of a new era. And yet, every light casts shadows — and those shadows are waiting for their moment to rise.

The kingdom of Orovia bleeds.
Every harvest season, the Frost royals send their imperials to strip villages bare. Gold. Crops. Heirlooms. Even lives. Everything claimed in the name of the crown.
Alexandra Beaumont has lost enough.
When the king opens the army to new recruits, she seizes her chance. Not to serve, but to steal.
Beneath the armor of a royal soldier, she hides a secret mission: infiltrate the castle, reclaim what was stolen, and return it to the people who were robbed of everything.
But she is not alone.
A band of outcasts forms at her side, bound by vengeance and hope.
By day, they wear the king’s colors.
By night, they become shadows on the sea.
Pirates who raid treasuries, kingdoms, and crowns themselves.
Rebels carving justice out of theft.
Yet betrayal stalks the rebellion as closely as the royals do.
And when Alexandra’s heart tangles with Asher Knight—the general’s son, her greatest threat, and her greatest ally—loyalties blur, danger sharpens, and every stolen heartbeat could be her last.
In a world where rebellion is treason and love is forbidden, Alexandra must decide how much she’s willing to sacrifice to take back a kingdom drowning in frost.

Elite Special Forces Captain Lee Yoon-ah, who was said to be Korea’s pride.
As a soldier to the bone, there was no romance in her life.
After being hit by a shell during overseas deployment, she finds herself in a completely different world.
She has been transmigrated into a romance fantasy novel written by her friend!
Worse, she has become an extra named ‘Rosalie’ who lives a miserable life.
Taking a deep breath and shaking her head for a moment, she considers this a battlefield and decides to change her life.
“I’ve experienced the hierarchical society of the military to the point of getting sick of it.
This is also a hierarchical society.”
“Are you disobeying my orders now?”
The captain conquers the duchy with absolute charisma!
However, she unintentionally stirs up romance…
“How does it feel to have a Crown Prince kneel before you, Duchess? It’s the first time I’ve ever knelt to someone other than the Emperor.”
The original male protagonist kneels down to her, not the female protagonist.
Captain, who has never been in love, can you win this battlefield?

I woke up from my sleep, only to find myself trapped in an apocalyptic game. And of all things, it’s one where the protagonist is a hopeless and worn-out character with no dreams and aspirations who’s driven insane by repeated regressions!
I can’t die in a place like this. I must see the ending and return home.
To get back to my world, I needed the protagonist’s abilities. Since he’s just a game character anyway… I decided to use him.
“I missed you, noona. I really missed you…”
“…Why are you saying that all of a sudden? We’ve been together all this time.”
“Please don’t throw me away. Okay? Don’t leave me behind. I’ll do better…”
But this protagonist’s mental state was far too weak. And using his abilities drained his mental strength even more, making him cling to me even more.
I had no choice.
It’s not because he’s cute or anything; it’s for the sake of reaching the ending that I’m helping him recover. But instead of getting better…
“Why do we need a plan? We’re not escaping anyway.”
“Huh? What do you mean by that?”
“You’ll stay with me, right? I only need you. Nothing else matters to me.”
…Will I be able to return to my original world safely?
***
“Think back to some happy memories.”
He opened his mouth as if he’d calmed down a little while thinking about that.
“Noona, the happiest memory for me was when I first met you.”

Yin Qingle fell in love with the male supporting character Yan Buzhi from a novel, crying every day over his tragic life.
Yan Buzhi was the young master of the Xuan Chi Sect, extraordinarily talented and a rare gem. Only when the sect master’s biological son was found did he realize he was just a disposable stand-in.
He was forcefully stripped of his spiritual root, inflicted with a cold poison, and took the Nine Heavens Thunder Tribulation in place of the real heir, plunging into an abyss thereafter.Yan Buzhi endured immense humiliation, turned to demonic cultivation, and became a feared evil spirit in the cultivation world. Ultimately, he was killed jointly by the male and female protagonists. Before his death, he had nothing but received the remark: “Fate plays with men.”
Yin Qingle: “Wuu wuu wuu, my dear Zhi Zhi’s life is so hard, don’t cry, mommy will hold you.”
The next day, she woke up to find herself transmigrated. Her mission: to conquer Yan Buzhi in order to return home.Yin Qingle: “…Is there such a good thing?”
Not long after receiving the mission, a bloodied Yan Buzhi fell from the sky.
Having fallen off a cliff, the weak and soon-to-be corrupted Yan Buzhi in the valley coldly rejected her approach with three phrases:”Go away, don’t touch me, or I’ll kill you.”
But Yin Qingle didn’t leave; instead, she hugged him and kissed him on the forehead.
Yan Buzhi: “??”
Later, Yan Buzhi harbored a secret in his heart; he fell in love with the bright and sunny girl beside him.
He knew she liked his flawless, ethereal demeanor. But she didn’t know his mind was filled with dirty, despicable thoughts, not meant for others to hear.
When he could no longer contain himself, he laid bare his soul in front of Yin Qingle. She widened her eyes: “That’s it?”
“I already knew.” She pressed against him and kissed him without allowing any resistance.
Yan Buzhi: “???!!”

Seventeen-year-old Aster is a commoner girl living with her Aunt Sally in the capital of Crescentis Kingdom. She remembers nothing from before she was seven—only a boy with brunette hair whom she constantly dreams of, the one who gave her a mysterious crescent moon crystal necklace engraved with the words:
“Once the sun and moon combine,
Realms unite and stars align.”
When her top grades earn her a place at Celentine Academy, a prestigious school for nobles, she meets Ranley, a young noble with the same name and brunette hair as the boy in her dreams. Convinced he might be the one, Aster is determined to get close to him and uncover the truth behind the necklace.
Navigating academy life won’t be easy, especially when the nobles see her as nothing more than a commoner. Along the way, she will find true friends, encounter magic and mischief, and even discover the first stirrings of love.
Yet beneath it all lies a greater mystery: Is Ranley truly the boy she once met, or is fate leading her toward a truth far more extraordinary?

I first wrote this story when I was seventeen, and now I’ve reconstructed it with a fresh perspective. Originally, it was only twenty-six chapters, but with the addition of new characters and a richer fantasy world, it has grown longer—likely around a hundred chapters or fewer. Please note that this is a slow-burn story, with moments of angst, twists, and unexpected turns along the way. I still hope you enjoy it and feel like a part of Aster’s journey as you read.
