She hated her life. She hated the way she was. All she wanted to do was to disappear, but she couldn't bear to make herself do so. Every night, she looked at the sky, starless or full of stars, and wished for tomorrow to never come. Life was hard. Living was painful. In 1964, what kind of life was waiting for her - an impoverished teen? ... more>>

On a secluded mountain situated upon a kingdom known as Feuersturm, resides a seemingly trifling cabin with an unlikely duo as its inhabitant—a witch, and her apprentice who presumably comes from a clan sought after by slave traders. Faustina is a sixteen-year-old girl who fled the slave market with the help of a sickly witch named Eula, who later on trained her as an apprentice for the span of seven years.... more>>

Plagued with a mysterious disease for several years, Eula died despite the efforts Faustina had exerted to cure her; in her last breath, she left an odd request behind.

"Sustain the king's life. This is your duty. Do not adhere to the prophecy."

To which the odd plea shadowed a bizarre series of events, a consequential sentence, similar to that of a premonition. The same night the phrase was muttered, the chain of events followed:

A warlock's intrusion to their home, with a peculiar yearning to resurrect Eula from the dead...

and the king himself, asking for Faustina’s aid.

In a land far, far away, in a time long past, there were two countries that existed side-by-side: Albion and Cathay. One hunted dragons and... more>> worshiped those who slew them; the other revered the dragons and abhorred their killers. Such were their natures and the two could not be reconciled. Their gods fled them, and the people saw the signs in the cracks in the soil, the drying of the rivers, and the unending gales. And then, most absurdly, the people start to hear that their royal families have taken to having affairs with the members of the enemy state! Truly, the world is going to hell.
One day, two amnesiacs awoke after being fished out of the Lethe, the River of Forgetfulness. One was a fox spirit and the other a young man with the blood of a despised people. On a whim, the fox spirit decided to protect the young man and set out on a journey to find their identities.
What were their identities? How did they fall into the river into the first place? Where did the gods go? Why were the Royal Highness(es) shacking up with each other?

A thousand years later, she reincarnated.
In the modern day, where witches and magic existed but in secret, came a prophecy.

A beautiful and powerful enchantress would be reincarnated into the body of the Grand Chief's new born daughter. Being a reverenced being, the Grand Chief was happy that his daughter got the honor. But all was not as it seemed.

What would this new life of her's be... Join her as she rise from her failures and set backs to be who she truly was and find the one who cursed her in this new world.

--------------

"What is the meaning of this Grand seer? You told me the beautiful Enchantress was going to be reincarnated into my new born daughter. But what I see is a child not worthy of been seen with the eyes."

"I don't know what happened, it is as I saw."

"Then you saw wrong. She would not be shown to the world, she would live in hiding. I cannot show a flawed daughter, it would ruin my image and standing."

********

"She is just good for nothing. She is flawed in every way possible."

"She lacks self control in the highest and extremely curious. Not to talk of, her powers are a joke. She brings disaster anytime she attempts to use magic."

"Physically flawed, personality flawed and powers flawed, Enchantress my foot... " <<less

“Since from the time I pursued you, I already know.”... more>>

Athenilda Sawyer confessed to the man in front of her. To the man who had ensnared her heart from the moment their eyes met. Even up to now.

However, the man treated her with respect and remain faithful. A marriage that seemed harmonious. An ideal one most people had dream of. But her feelings were never reciprocated. And looks as if it will never will.

Athenilda felt like an ice-cold water was splashed on her, waking her up from her greediness of demanding the impossible.

When the time came that she decided to let go and pursue her own way, an incident happened which turned their wheels of fate in another direction and changed her life and the others around her.

"If fate ever allowed us to meet again, I’ll lend you my hand so that you can finally attain your happiness. I can finally repay my debts and will pursue my own happiness as well." <<less

Let me introduce myself. My name is Ho Chun Hei. I am currently playing the role of an extra in a novel called "If only you were me" it's a novel in which you can find tragedy, romance and serial killing.

When I read the book in my past life, I felt it ridiculous because this book had too many genres. But little did I knew I will be transmigrated into the book and that too an extra.

Well, I didn't expect myself to become the protagonist nor the antagonist. I am going to stay away from these male leads and female lead. My one and only goal is to live a life which is successful and fruitful with no chaos.

But something is going wrong. Why are these male leads back of me? Even the female lead. I wish I could turn back the time and not meet them. What should I do? I want to go back!!!

Will Chun Hei's ending be a tragedy or a happy ending?
