Blooming_idea
Evelyn Rosendale, the beloved Empress, devoted her heart and soul to the empire and to the man she loved—Emperor Kaelion Ashford. But her reward? Betrayal. Framed for treason, stripped of her title, and sentenced to death, she could only watch as the woman who orchestrated her downfall stood by Kaelion’s side. With her final breath, she swore if given a second chance, she would never be the fool who loved him. Fate grants her wish. Reborn years before her downfall, Evelyn is no longer the naive empress who trusted blindly. This time, she will rewrite her destiny. No longer will she beg for love she will make them all pay. But as she begins to change the course of history, Kaelion starts to see her in a different light. The cold, indifferent woman she becomes is unlike the wife he once knew. And when he finally realizes what he lost, it might already be too late. Will she escape the emperor’s grasp and take her revenge, or will she once again fall into his web of deception?

MAGICAPITIA

What if money was power? What if capital was magical? What if income was cultivation? What if a young man decided to destroy this unjust world of inequality and build a better one? That was exactly what Cæ (Cash) sought to do amid grief, anger, and hatred when he lost everything in an accident. Having come from nothing in the slums, his only goal had been to live a good life. By the age of twenty-two, he had finally managed to pull himself out of poverty with a decent job and romance. And then he lost everything he had ever built in an accident that left him in a coma for half a year. The world deprived him of the only person he had truly come to love. The predatory healthcare system burdened him with debt. The corrupt justice system deprived him of justice. The financial system robbed him of everything he owned. For the second time in his life, Cæ had been left with nothing. Well, almost nothing. The accident and the ensuing coma had altered his brain and mind, giving him an extraordinary talent for cultivating and mastering magic. He had been blessed with Acquired Savant Syndrome, a medical condition so rare that there were very few instances of it ever having occurred in history. It gave him endless potential and remarkable power. It gave him the power to destroy the world that he hated from the bottom of his heart. It gave him the power to destroy it and build a better one. And that was exactly what Cæ set out to do. --- This is my second novel, albeit my first time trying my hand at Royal Road. This story is centered around my desire to explore a story with a magical system centered around macroeconomics and politics. As the title suggests, this story will be centered around kingdom-building and progression fantasy. Romance is a coin flip. No smut. No harem. No systems. Hope you enjoy reading this as much as I enjoy writing it.
