The Stingy Mother, questioning, "What does she need a husband for? She can have all the fine food and a carefree life with me!" The Sly Grandfather, suggesting, "Girls shouldn’t have to do the dirty, tiring work. Quick, call over your brother!" The Majestic Grandmother, fiercely proclaiming, "Who dares to bully Sangsang? Let them face a fight to the death with me!" The Protective Brother, assuring, "Little sister, all the good food is for you. I am not hungry!"

WARNING: MATURE CONTENT CHAPTER EXCERPT -- “Wait, someone might see.” Charlton said, recalling the glass window. “I’m prepared for that.” Serena replied as she bent to open her bag on the floor and then took out a film like looking sticker. “I found this at the market yesterday.” “I must say that I’m ill-prepared for this.” He noted as he furrowed his brows. Serena stood up and gave him the sticker. Then she placed her right hand on the bulge of his pants, directly gripping his erection. “Well, I must say that you’re not. Now, do place the sticker on the window.” — Serena Chen lived a life filled with love and success, while devoid of any hardship. So, when it was time to go, she went peacefully. However, as if fate was playing its game on her, she opened her eyes again only to discover that she has transmigrated as Serena Maxwell, the villainess in the novel "A Cinderella story in Victorian fantasy era" written by her very own granddaughter. Set in a Victorian-esque era, Serena Lilianne Maxwell was the only daughter of the Ducal house of Maxwell. She was rich, beautiful, a little haughty, and the fiancé of the crown prince. Every lady wants to be her, but sadly, the crown prince, Geoffrey, fell in love with Emily Evans, the daughter of an impoverished Baron. Seeing how young and beautiful she was again, her only thought was, since she already lived her past life as a normal decent lady, why not live as a semi-wanton lady of the era to fulfill her fantasies? Thus, she set her sights on her first target, Charlton Daniel, the only son of the duke of Suffox, cousin of the crown prince, and the original novel's second male lead. After some twists and turns, like any other sappy romantic story, the two inevitably fell in love. However, contrary to the novel's original plot, Geoffrey, the crown prince, who Serena was still politically engaged to, fell for her. It would have been less complicated if the engagement was not one ordained by the king, but it was. With this situation, what would Charlton and Serena have to do and what sacrifices must they make, to get to their happily ever after? Join them to find out. -- This novel will have romance, adventure, comedy, friendship, betrayal, politics, drama, smut, and so much more. (This will be a feast for historical drama and music lovers) Just for clarification, the world Serena transmigrated to is a Victorian-esque era so it's not exactly historically accurate. Timelines may be jumbled specially when it comes to some technological advances, but I try to keep them as realistic as possible. BTW, if anyone is curious about the age, this is more historically accurate. People in Victorian era marries on average, 26 for male, and never dropped lower than 22 for female. PS Cover art not mine, just edited by me PSS This is an original story I wrote — I also wish to thank Stephanie who made this MV for our Serena Charlton ship.

One of the books of a girl-2-girl collection of The Scents: Romantic but Irritating Mates of the SunItsuki Kingdom. In another realm where all night creatures exist beyond the knowledge of humans, three kingdoms were supposed to be one, and one of them is the SunItuski. The majority population living in the SunItsuki were witches, priestesses, tamers, or hunters were four families of Fujishima, Quinton, Reynolds, and Ibarra lives. Each of the families might have their own beliefs and old teachings that were being passed down through generations but things kept changing. One of the daughters of the shrine maidens of the Fujishima family has to do the last task and perform a ritual dance before turning into a full pledge shrine maiden. But a lot of ruins came when the said soul beast that is entrapped in their warehouse began to bow at will toward the hired huntress who has a deep connection to the family and the new shrine maiden of the family. On the other part of the kingdom where a well-known hunter facility governed by the Reynolds, the head of their organization began making extra perimeter checks due to the recent reports and attacks that kept happening around the land. In the middle of her rounds, she fatedly ran into a dragon centaur beast causing her rounds difficult yet became her savior and awakened the hidden power residing in her. There’s no exception even to the Quinton family's head, a priestess who came across with a very irritating family's head, a tamer from Ibarra. Both had built a very unusual bond of love and hate banter that bloomed into romantic feelings despite being the founders of their school where they found unique and promising successors who soon be connected to the chosen trigger of the wheel of change. Everyone has connections to each other but none of them could see a very powerful old unrestricted magic that had been unleashed into their hearts and nobody can break the blessed love bestowed by the Moon.
