astor novel

It was a long time ago, but she knew she had this ridiculous name that when she was young, made everyone laugh. Recalling it vaguely, it had been years since it popped at the back of her mind— now all she could remember was how the Astor name causes her stress every once in a while. She was now Ingrid Astor, a bona fide noble in the land of the rising sun— or was it (uh, maybe it's the name of a country in her previous life?) –she couldn't remember anymore. It was a blurry and a cloudy mess inside her mind. There is only one thing she is sure though, she is inside an otome game she played a long time ago. • Ingrid Astor, a member of a prestigious family, a true noble woman, found herself in a weird situation. She was now a villian inside an otome game she played when she was a teenager, "Rise of Greed". There were a few routes which she would find herself into and none of them were good— it was composed of dying easily and dying tragically. Instead of dwelling with the problem, she nonchalantly threw it at the back of her mind. Easy peasy. Dealing with brats? She could do that. • Hello this is already dropped since I've written this a few years ago. I'm planning to rewrite this after I've finished my other novel — All I Need is Power.

For twelve years, I was Reid Blackwood's secret. His business partner, his lover, the architect of his empire. And while I was pregnant with our child, he cheated. So I vanished. Five years later, we met again at a charity gala. Reid’s gaze swept over my out-of-season gown. Then, with a smirk, he announced his engagement to the wealthy heiress Lori Lancaster. He followed this by suggesting, as if tossing a stray dog a bone, that I could come back as his mistress. I scoffed. Just then, my phone rang. My daughter, Kira, her voice syrupy-sweet, was calling for her bedtime story. "Mommy," she pleaded. Reid’s expression shifted instantly. A familiar, possessive fire lit his eyes. He was certain this was our child—proof that I still loved him. I met his gaze for a long moment. Then I threw the contents of my wine glass across his handsome, shameless face. He didn’t know the child I’d lost had died because of his betrayal. And he had no idea that Kira was the treasured daughter of my new husband: the most powerful man in New York, Julian Astor.

Accidentally bound to a quick transmigration system, Ning Yue is resistant on the surface, but inwardly, she's screaming wildly: "As long as I keep completing missions, it's equivalent to gaining eternal life, I'm going to keep transmigrating forever!" In "True and Fake Rich Daughter," she is the fake rich daughter who was abandoned. She declares, "The wealthy family abandoned me, so I will create a wealthy family of my own!" In "Era's Blessed Child," she leads her entire family to build a fortune, turning the fake blessed child into a real blessed child. In "Flourishing Age of Shengshi," having transmigrated into the Empress who was turned into cannon fodder, she simply turns the ungrateful mother and son into cannon fodder instead.
