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.

"Great Seer, will my business prosper next month?" "Great Seer, will my wife finally give me a son by the end of the year?" "Great Seer, will I become rich?" April smiled at the anxious crowd gathered before her. Then she took a sip of tea and delivered the same answer she'd given all week. "You don't have to worry about the future." Relief spread across their faces, but April smiled wider as she continued. "Because you're all going to die." Silence. "...What?" "The apocalypse is coming," she continued lazily. "Most of you won't make it through the first week." Naturally, nobody believed her, except her loyal customers. And then, the worst of her predications began to come true. The stock market crash. The plane accident. The sudden outbreak overseas. One prediction after another. And with every fulfilled prophecy, another desperate client came knocking on her door. Because, unlike everyone else, April already knew how the world would end. After all, she'd died in it. In her previous life, she gave away everything—her food, her strength, her loyalty. In return, the people she trusted tied her to a pole and left her as zombie bait. April died on a nameless street with teeth in her throat and betrayal in her heart. But death wasn't the end.

This time, she has foreknowledge, a system, and absolutely no intention of being anyone's sacrifice. The world wants to end? Fine. While everyone else panics, April will be making billions, hoarding supplies, and turning the richest people alive into her customers. And when civilization finally collapses, she'll be exactly where she belongs— Safe at home, watching the end of the world from her window with a bag of chips in hand.
