Not Your Perfect Princess

She wanted Paris. She got a palace. After winning the nation's most prestigious cooking competition, Liana Davis, a doctor turned chef, is finally going somewhere. Paris. Fame. Freedom... Until an accidental fall off a cliff lands her in a gilded bed, surrounded by bowing servants, addressed as Princess Ioana of a powerful royal kingdom that should not exist. But there's only one problem. Liana isn't Ioana. She doesn't belong in corsets, she doesn't speak "thee" and "thou", and she certainly didn't agree to attend royal balls, smile for nobles or play along with a family that watches her a little too closely. But pretending may be the only way to survive. Trapped in an alternate universe ruled by crowns, codes and cruel traditions, Liana must survive palace politics, an icy royal family and a court that expects obedience...not sarcasm. But unfortunately for them, sarcasm was her default mode. When a royal decree announces her arranged marriage to a ruthless, arrogant prince, love was the last thing on her "royal" bucket list...or so she thinks. Between royal balls, biting comedy, simmering drama, and a mysterious man who appears...and vanishes...like a prophecy waiting to unfold, Liana finds herself caught between fate and free will...and a marriage that may change everything. In a world where power is inherited, she intends to earn hers. A fantasy romance filled with comedy, drama, royal intrigue, love after marriage, and a heroine who refuses to kneel.

System Rewrite: I Swapped Places With SSS Rank Hero

He was a predator in a suit, a puppet master who had just pulled the strings to win the ultimate prize: the presidency. At forty years old, Arthur Sterling stood at the apex of worldly power, his victory speech ready, his enemies crushed beneath his heel. ​But at the very peak of his triumph, a different world claimed him. ​He was violently ripped from his reality and thrust into the body of Kaelan, the SSS-Rank "Hero" in his final battle against the greatest villain. Armed with a lifetime of political savagery but zero combat skills, he faced the villain and was unceremoniously slain. ​Yet, death was not the end. ​His new comrades sacrificed everything to save his body, entombing him in a secret desert oasis. One hundred years later, he awakens. He is no longer the max-level hero. He is Level 1. The world he once saw for a fleeting moment is now a dystopia, utterly conquered and reshaped by the triumphant villain. Hope is a forgotten currency. ​But Arthur Sterling is not empty-handed. He awakens with a unique System, one that twists the very concept of power: ​[The Sovereign's System] ​A system that cares nothing for heroic virtues or holy light. It is a system of domination. It turns political manipulation into lethal skills, transforms backroom deals into binding contracts of power, and allows him to build a legion not through loyalty, but through leverage, blackmail, and calculated fear. ​Now, with a fallen queen clinging to a lost cause, a brutish but loyal berserker, and a treacherous minister as his only 'allies,' Arthur must do what he does best: climb. He has no interest in being a hero or saving the world. He just lost one throne, and he's found a new, bigger one to claim.
