Princess’s Struggle for Survival

_Astra_20
Imagine waking up as the villain in your sister's cheesy fantasy novel. Yeah, not ideal, especially when that villain is destined for hatred, and a grim end in some forgotten dungeon. That's Astrid's new reality. Her old life? Gone. Her new mission? Survive. And step one means throwing the original script out the window. But changing fate is way harder than it sounds. In a desperate move, Astrid makes the story's heroine, Lyra, her personal maid. Clever, right? Except teaching Lyra magic and treating her like, well, a person, backfires spectacularly. Lyra's gratitude twists into something intense, dark, and possessive. And she's not the only one. Astrid tries mending fences with her powerful aunt, only to find herself smothered by a love that feels dangerously close to madness. Even her ambitious half-sister, originally her rival, gets weirdly attached after Astrid shows her a bit of warmth and helps her gain power using some modern-world smarts. Astrid thought she was being clever, building alliances, creating intelligence networks, rewriting roles. She is changing the story, but it's warping everyone around her. Their loyalty? It's becoming obsession. Their affection? A dangerous fixation. Now, Astrid isn't just fighting the plot. She's drowning in a mess of her own making – caught between people who crave her, tangled in lies and affections twisted way out of shape. Everyone wants her, and sharing isn't remotely on their agenda.

Book One — I Am Not Sarah — The Wrong Name

Elena Brenette is twenty one years old, mute, and in love with a man who was never truly hers. On the night of her wedding she discovers the devastating truth — her fiancé Adrian and her older sister Rachel have been in love long before she ever walked down the aisle. She was never the girl he chose. She was the cover. The placeholder. The third wheel in her own love story. With nowhere to go and no words adequate enough to hold her pain, Elena does the only thing she can. She runs. Still dressed in her wedding gown she drives into a storm soaked night — broken, mute, and utterly alone. She never arrives anywhere. On that same road two other women are running from their own disasters. Sarah Venzagrase — twenty one, pregnant, covered in blood — is fleeing her wedding and the husband whose people have been sent to kill her. Phiona — also twenty one, also bearing the same face — is on that road for reasons nobody yet understands. Three women. One face. One blood. One catastrophic collision. When the wreckage clears Phiona is dead, her body burned beyond recognition and mistakenly identified as Elena Brenette. Sarah has vanished into the darkness carrying her unborn child. And Elena — unconscious, broken, still in her wedding dress — is pulled from the flames by the most dangerous man she will ever meet. Lucas Venzagrase. He calls her Sarah. And she cannot tell him otherwise. Elena wakes up inside the life of a woman she has never met — trapped in the iron walls of the Venzagrase estate, the most powerful family in the state. Lucas Venzagrase, twenty five and coldly furious, believes he has recovered his runaway wife. The family that surrounds her despises the woman they think she is. And Lucas's hatred fills every room like smoke she cannot escape. She cannot explain. Cannot protest. Cannot say the three words that would change everything — I am not Sarah. Every attempt she makes to communicate the truth is read as guilt, manipulation, and madness. The more she struggles the deeper she sinks. She is a prisoner without chains — held captive by a name, a face, and a silence no one bothers to understand. Meanwhile the world moves on without her. Her family mourns her death. Rachel — drowning in guilt over the betrayal that drove Elena into that night — discovers she is pregnant with Adrian's child and follows him abroad, carrying her grief and her secret across borders. The Brenette family is left shattered, hollowed out, grieving a daughter who is alive but might as well be gone. And Sarah — the woman whose life Elena has accidentally inherited — watches from her grandmother's house as the news broadcasts images of Elena sitting terrified inside the Venzagrase estate. She watches the girl with her face looking out at the world with silent terror and whispers sorry to a flickering screen. She is planning her escape to the coast. She does not yet know that the woman she left behind is her own triplet sister. Inside the Venzagrase estate Elena fights the only way she can — silently, stubbornly, with everything she has. She maps the household. She reads the people around her. She finds the small cracks in the wall. Caden, the youngest of Lucas's cousins, extends unexpected kindness. Rio watches her with eyes too sharp to dismiss. And Grandpa Leo — the most powerful man in the state, still carrying the ghost of his late wife Rosaria — looks at Elena one quiet evening across a room and feels something he cannot name. And Lucas himself — the man whose hatred is her daily weather — begins to notice things that do not add up. The way she moves. The way she watches. The way she reached for his hand in that examination room like he was the only solid thing in a world made of ghosts. He saved her life. He does not yet know he saved the wrong woman. But something in him is beginning to wonder.

Pokémon Harvest Moon: A Ranch Story

Alternate Title: Pokémon: Ranch Story/ Pokémon: Story of Seasons Silas transmigrates into the Pokémon world. After traveling for three years, his hidden cheat finally awakens, and he purchases a long-neglected, barely functioning ranch in the Kalos region. The Pokémon on the ranch soon begin to undergo wondrous transformations. A kindhearted battle god Kangaskhan that can send a Snorlax flying with a single punch; a soft, sweet-smelling, universally beloved Cinccino with MAX beauty; and a Cyclizar suspected of being a reincarnator, wielding extraordinary abilities… … That year, Ash had just set out on his journey, and the gears of the world began to turn… That year, Team Rocket dominated Kanto and embarked on a campaign to expand into other regions. That year, Lance became the champion of the first-ever Pokémon World Championships. That year, Silas became a proud ranch owner and began a brand-new chapter of life. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ TN: This fanfiction is heavily inspired by Pokemon A New Path/ Pokemon Not A Trainer this Time, so you will find quite a lot of similarities that the author copied but this novel is more of a Slice of Life, Cooking and interaction with the ranch Pokémon as the story goes further. Also so the female lead is probably Diantha but I'm not really sure of it yet even though I'm pretty far off in the chapters since the romance is really thin.
