Struggling to understand who she has become, Mina must navigate a world of nobles, magic, and monsters, uncovering secrets that pull her deeper into a life she never asked for.

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.

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 woke up with no memory at all.
"..."
But this man was always beside me. Somehow he could find me anywhere I would go.
"... who are you?"
"I'm your husband"
"..."
So I did what every sane person would do in my place as they confronted an unexpected situation.
I ran away.
"You can't run around with no memory at all. You need me."
"Bullshit."
So I ran away again.
...but why are all those people after me?? Why do they want me dead?!
"Catch the demon! She's going to kill us all!"
"What? What demon?"
And why is everyone chasing me now?? Starting with the Holy Order, The Royal Knights and even that Immortal Head Mage from that Tower who wants to die??
"Finally, I found you"
"F*ck off, she's my wife."
"..."
....Where did you learn to curse like that??

In a world where MegaFauna crawl through interdimensional Gates and Cities run on ancient steam engines, chaos and (not so great) comedy collide in Past Life Hunter- a wild, slow-burning, genre-bending epic where nothing is sacred, everything is extra, and EVERY trope gets ‘lovingly’ mentioned.
Enter Delphina de Velasques, Sword Master, Ducal Lady, full-time Hunter, and of course, the Otome Villainess. Accompanied by a chaotic party, including a mysterious man who emerged safely from one of the Gates. Delphina will battle immense monstrosities, navigate dysfunctional Guild (and Noble) politics, and endure side-quests to survive the system’s BS and maybe, save the world in the process.
Equal parts parody and homage, this Epic Fantasy is a love letter to webnovel readers who want action, skills, and just the right amount of emotional damage (and murder). Warning: Contains strong female leads, weak men who learn, heavy & potentially triggering topics (tagged at the start of every chapter).

After a tragic accident that sent her back 843 years in time to the year 1179, in the Middle Ages, during the reign of Baldwin IV of Jerusalem, Kate Mitchell, a wealthy business tycoon in the pharmaceutical industry, a gifted ex-military, a pharmacologist and botanist, and a brilliant archer from 2022, wakes up as Lady Philippa, a pretty, innocent, frail, and proper young lady of House Antioch, with whom she shares nothing in common. She realised she had died on that day, and her soul travels back in time and takes over the body of Philippa, a helpless lady who would face tragedy, betrayal, and scandal before dying young and heartbroken.
She chose to live as Philippa because she had a second chance at life and only one goal in mind: to live and survive at any cost. To succeed, she must thrive and learn to live in the Medieval era, where nothing is common for her, and, above all, she must avoid an arranged marriage, which will doom Phillipa to death after a terrible heartbreak.
Lady Philippa, unfortunately, is about to be engaged to an unknown man, and she must devise a plan to prevent this from happening. Kate's background as an ex-military officer, pharmacologist, and botanist, as well as her limited knowledge of history, will be invaluable in surviving the historical mediaeval times when modern technology was out of reach. However, she requires the assistance of the reigning king, Baldwin IV, who is suffering from leprosy at the time. She'll have to take control of the situation. It is up to Kate's bravery and intelligence to find a way to persuade Baldwin IV to help her, and she has few options other than joining his royal court.
Will the king accept her, or will she perish as the body's original owner? Will she be able to change her destiny? Alternatively, will she be able to find the love and family she seeks?
