"Luck and gifts you will have it all.
Everything you desire and put your mind on.
But that one craving, you will never own.
As fate and the gods will collude to derail your goal."

Lyrica was ecstatic when she found out that after finishing a reverse harem royal romance novel, she woke up in the body of her favorite character who shares the same name as her! Even more so when she met face to face with her adored (bias) character--the attractive General Calais Parcell!

However, soon, she finds out that every human in the new world hates her even without a valid reason! Not one, not even her own parents and siblings!

Being loved and well-liked by everyone in her previous life, watch her struggle in this new world where everyone hates and wants to kill her!


Snippets:
“You should be ashamed of yourself, Calais! Have you ever... Have you ever taken a look inside of you and wondered what kind of person you are?!”

“No, Lyrica. I can see how you look at me, and I know that I am not that bad after all.”

"But all I see is a charming mask! And no matter how beguiling that lovely mask looks, once you take that off, inside, you are still what you are, someone hollow and empty, with no principles other than what other people project on you!"

The Hundred Years Villainess

I raise my skirt and step into the royal garden's gazebo. It is a structure with white marble pillars and carvings in the sandstone walls. Its roof is made of intricately carved wood panels, with intricate patterns of flowers and birds inlaid with gold and silver. The pavilion is surrounded by lush gardens filled with exotic blooms. And within is a table and a comfortable chair to sit on.

Both Lady Sherri and Lady Eliana were already sitting around the table. I try not to look at Calais, who is standing rigidly close to Eliana. The two women bow at me and I answer with a nod.

I sit down at the table and try to ignore the tension in the air. Calais' presence is making me uneasy, but I know I need to keep my composure.

"Ladies," I say, addressing both Sherri and Eliana. "As you all know, all three wives of Cornelius will share some of the responsibility of handling the country and castle affairs."
