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.

A collection of short stories (~10 chapters each) placing characters from HSR in a University AU setting.

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 came to Isla Seraphine to save lives—not to get tangled up with Adrian Valcrosse, the arrogant, breathtaking heir who makes my blood pressure spike every time he opens his mouth. He’s heat wrapped in a tailored suit. Danger disguised as control. And I swear he was put on this island specifically to test my patience. But then the storm hits. The kind that doesn’t give you choices. One night. One sea cave. One fire. One bed. One impossible man whose touch burns straight through every barrier I thought I had. What happens between us isn’t soft. It’s consuming. Forbidden. A line I swore I’d never cross… and can’t take back once I do. I came to the Lyris Isles for peace. I found the one man who could ruin me… or save me.

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.
