The Counterfeit Queen
She was captivating.
Milk white curls that danced idly down her back, wide golden eyes that sat perfectly on her face.
Ezel Ifan, the gem of the Villarreal Kingdom. The protagonist of the novel I read so many years ago, the savior of this world.
Her soft laugh, the thin fingers that elegantly danced across the hairs on his arms. Her every move was ethereal, she was ethereal and the man holding her so protectively close knew that more than anybody else.
Adonis Villarreal, the cold-blooded king who turned warm at the mere sight of her. A god among men, from his unnatural physique and strength to his impeccable intelligence. He was a threat to every couple, his looks not helping his case.
Bronzed skin, thick black hair accompanied by mint gemstones for eyes. How clear of a fit the two were for one another.
Adonis bent his head down next to her ears, whispering a secret that tainted her face scarlet. Her arms brushed over her unnaturally large belly. Seven months pregnant now. How wonderful.
The polite chuckles of nobles, the clinking of wine glasses... everything seemed perfect until a blood-curdling scream silenced it all.
Ezel's once pristine dress was ruined by something thick and red. Eyes wide with horror, her head turned up to the man she loved, only to be met with crazed and frightened eyes. The room was instantly filled with commotion and movement. A woman gasped in horror, something hit the marble floor.
Just like that, the Villareal Kingdom lost their queen and Adonis, his lover and unborn child.
Joan was reincarnated into a novel she read when she was a college student as an unknown character, Emoria Leonidas, after committing suicide.
The timing of her reincarnation was strange. The villainess, who was her character's sister, was already dead and all the obstacles were erased. The protagonists were expecting their first child and the kingdom was prospering. Everything seemed fine and Emoria decided to live her second life reflecting on her previous one with the riches she has now inherited as the daughter of a duke.
That is until the beloved protagonist lost her life to a miscarriage.
"...Father, what are you saying?"
"Emoria, the kingdom needs a queen and I need a new political standing in the court after your sister (The Villainess) was killed. Think of all the riches and power we can have?!"
Just like that, I was sent as a sacrifice for my father and my idle life ended. Thrown to the wolves, how can I survive in a story that was meant for another woman? How can I survive when the mere sight of me makes my husband tremble with disgust?
In my first life and this one, why do the gods want me to suffer?
I enjoyed the colorful words used to describe the actions going on. I felt like it really helped to envision the scenes as they played out. I haven’t been so entranced while reading something in a while, you’ve got a talent!! I can’t wait to read the next update, hopefully it’s soon! Keep up the amazing work!
Lots of books tend to be really slow when they begin and it takes a while to get used to them, but this one wasn’t. You immediately roped us into the action and illustrated such powerful scenes so beautifully, well done!
So, I'll admit it. When I showed up and saw that this story was ranked at a perfect five, I was skeptical. I was wrong. I literally can't say anything bad about your story. Descriptions are good, grammar is excellent, characters are enjoyable, and the overall story structure is top notch. You've earned the perfect five start rating. 5/5
I am excited for this. Most reincarnation stories ignore the main characters past life, but this one is helping us understand who she truly is. Good quality writing.
I like the characters and I am ready to see Joan kick some behind and get her revenge. Kinon is a fun character. Nice writing, overall good story.
