Honest Review This is definitely a hidden gem! It reminds me a bit of "Addicted to Curry" for some reason even though the setting isn't quite the same. The Good: The author does a very good job of making the characters believable. The setting is definitely something one rarely sees and a rare setting is hard to find! The Bad: Characters may be well thought out, but still tropes. Regardless, they are done well enough that they stand on their own. I like the setting, but I feel like the early chapters really stretched out the world building, but that's just me honestly, you can ignore that. The Neutral: Not my normal genre once again so I have a hard time getting absorbed into the story, I normally like longer chapters like this, but for stories that I have a hard time staying with I prefer short chapter. Personal preference, nothing good or bad so no stars gained or lost for it.

Aww, thank you. Maybe I don't have much fanbase yet, or the story wasn't what the readers in WN would enjoy. But still, I'm happy to be in top 5.

I love how there is more than one book off of the original! I am a foodie so this of course is a pleasure to read for the food also! Mmm! I also enjoy seeing the obscure characters from the other two books take on a whole life & love of their own!

I keep thinking every book of this amazing author is top notch but this truly might be one of my favs!! I love how determined our FL is and she truly is the perfect match for the moody, short tempered ML. Oddly enough though they have had vastly different upbringing their values and work ethics at e the same and they seem to gel so well. I hope their romance will be as sweet and fiery as their personalities😍😍

Transmigrated Into The True Heiress

Eira Kingston, a feared assassin, never imagined that death would lead her to transmigrate into the body of Ephyra Allen, the disgraced first daughter of the once-powerful Allen family. But what shocked her even more was the soft mechanical voice in her mind, addressing her as "master" and informing her that her soul had returned to its original body. Eira dismissed the strange voice, thinking she was having a post-death hallucination. But waking up in a hospital, with memories that weren’t hers flooding back, she was forced to confront the truth. Ephyra’s life had been nothing short of a nightmare. Despite being the legitimate daughter, she was labeled a bastard, shunned by all, and overshadowed by her scheming stepsister, who had stolen the love of her father and her betrothed. To make matters worse, the wealth and status the Allen family enjoyed were all thanks to Ephyra’s late mother, and the only reason she hadn’t been discarded entirely was due to her mother’s inheritance, locked away until she turned eighteen. But Eira wasn’t one to be defeated by circumstances. If she was going to live Ephyra’s life, she would do so on her own terms. She would destroy those who had caused Ephyra pain, claim the inheritance that was rightfully hers, and find out who was behind her own death. Because if there was one thing Eira knew how to do well, it was to survive—and make her enemies pay. However, being a high-schooler with nothing to her name wasn’t enough. As Ephyra, she’s powerless, but as an assassin, she’s lethal. Still, even that wasn't enough until she became the contracted wife of Lyle Aelion—a powerful, enigmatic figure in the business world with a secret illness. And it turns out, the only thing that can relieve him is her scent.

Devilish secretary

After centuries of ruling the underworld with terrifying power, Lilith dies in an epic battle, only to be reborn in the human world. But instead of a grand rebirth as a queen of darkness, she's reincarnated as something far more mundane—a secretary. Rather than despair, Lilith finds this new life amusing. After all, who would suspect the devil herself to be working a 9-to-5? Settling into her new reality, Lilith embraces her role, living in a luxurious apartment and working diligently in her office. Though her devilish instincts are hard to suppress, she's determined to be the perfect secretary. But when people push her too far, the devil within still comes out to play. When a creep in the office dares to look at her the wrong way, she calmly fixes her gaze on him. "You keep staring like that, and I'll show you what a broken wrist feels like." The man quickly scurries away, leaving Lilith with a satisfied smirk. Even the rich, entitled girl from accounting isn't safe from her wrath. "You think you can push me around just because you've got money? I've burned entire kingdoms for less. Don't test me." She says this with a calm smile, her eyes glinting dangerously. The day continued like that—stopping creeps in their tracks, putting rude heiresses in their place, and being the flawless secretary she intended to be. But, of course, her boss—the CEO—had his eyes on her, more curious than ever. And while the entire office might fear her or wonder about her, she remained blissfully indifferent. This was fun. And she wasn't here to impress anyone but herself. Who knew being a secretary could be so... interesting?
