Rise of the Unfavored Princess

I had thought my life couldn't get any worse when I caught my fiancé cheating on me with my best friend. But then, after a series of unfortunate events, I woke up in a world that I had only read about in a webnovel—the Erudian Empire, ruled by the domineering and bloody Emperor Helio. The worst part? I'm not even the main character! Reborn as Winter Royberg de la Erudian, I am the pitiful side character who is discovered to be a royal bastard princess due to a certain physical trait unique to the imperial bloodline. But I know how Winter's story ends: the unwanted royal punching bag is framed as a witch and executed at age 16 on the guillotine, all because of the empress's cruel schemes. An aloof, murder-happy father? Check. Psycho half-sister? Check. Meddlesome author who wants me to follow the script? Double check! I don't want to die an early death again, so I'm determined never to be discovered as a royal. But before I know it, I'm trapped in a palace of blood and opulence, playing tricky games of power that I have no idea how to win. How will I survive to adulthood in the imperial palace and get my happily ever after? And am I really the only person who fell into this world? *UPDATES 1-2 TIMES A WEEK* *1500 TO 3300 WORDS PER CHAPTER*
