Zero System: Forced Awakening

The Bastard's Gambit She died with her empire in ruins and her enemy's satisfaction as the last thing she ever saw. She woke up in someone else's coffin. The body belongs to Evelyn Ashford — bastard-born fifth daughter of the Duke, buried two days ago after falling from a gallery at the city's most notorious pleasure house. The household has already moved on. The bridal chamber has been quietly dismantled. No one is coming to mourn her. No one knows she is no longer the girl they buried. The soul now inhabiting that body belonged to a ruthless businesswoman who built an empire from nothing, survived a decade of betrayal and sabotage, and died on the morning of her final victory when a desperate old man chose a carriage crash over public humiliation. She remembers everything: every ledger, every negotiation, every lesson learned the hard way about what powerful men do to women who get too close to their secrets. She has no intention of dying twice. The problem is the world she has woken into. A kingdom where bastard daughters have no legal rights and no path forward. A household where every woman in it has spent years perfecting the art of small cruelties. A Duke for a father who responds only to logic and mutual advantage, never to sentiment. A Prince who dissolved her betrothal by letter before dawn on her wedding day and has not thought about her since. Or so he believes. Within days of climbing out of that coffin, Evelyn has read the household accounts and found a pattern no one else was looking for. Within a week, she has negotiated her way into the Duke's study and out of the east wing's deliberate neglect. Within a month, she has exposed a fraud that reaches further into this household than anyone has admitted, forged an alliance with a woman who has every reason to destroy her, and caught the attention of a man who wears an iron mask and moves through this city's political architecture like something that was never meant to be seen. He finds her interesting. She finds this dangerous. Prince Roland is colder than she expected and more complicated than she was prepared for. He places her in the household of his obsession — a courtesan named Pearl Harte whose situation is more politically entangled than anyone has said — and calls it an assignment. His body registers her transformation before his mind admits what the registration means. He treats her like a tool. He cannot stop watching her like something else entirely. The man in the iron mask offers her a wager: make his fallen associate a functioning political force in this court, and he will disappear from her life forever. Fail, and she belongs to him completely. She accepts. He adds one condition after she has already said yes. *Do not develop genuine feeling for him.* *Because he was me, once.* She does not ask what that means. She should have asked. Somewhere in this city, a man has been given her name and a set of instructions he will begin executing at first light. She does not know this. She is too busy building something that looks, from the outside, like the impossible transformation of a girl everyone dismissed — and feels, from the inside, like the most dangerous gamble of two lifetimes. She has already died once. She is not finished yet. --- *The Bastard's Gambit* is a medieval political romance featuring a transmigrated female lead, slow-burn enemies-to-lovers tension, court intrigue, and a mystery that rewrites everything you thought you knew from the very first chapter.

The ordinary and average Emiya suddenly gains the ability to travel through different worlds. What should he do? Should he punch Arkham, kick Hydra, destroy Umbrella, beat down Cobra, conquer the Decepticons, and annihilate the Foot Clan? Emiya: How many drinks have you had? If I had that kind of ambition, would I have ended up like this? I'll have breakfast at the Totsuki Resort in the morning, ride Tohru to explore the Grand Line in the afternoon, take Rem out for some Ichiraku Ramen in the evening, go for a drive with Haruhi Suzumiya in a Gundam, and invite the French peasant girl to dine at the Kikuhana Restaurant. Doesn't a life like that sound amazing? As for taking the masters of Ryozanpaku to the Hunter Exam, winning the KOF tournament with heroic spirits, adventuring in a dungeon with the Demon Slayer Corps, or leading the Amanto against the Angels... those are just basic operations. ----- Copyright disclaimer: I do NOT own anime nor any character or works featured in the fan-fiction.

My name is Liu Mei, but everyone calls me Rose. Born to a world-famous pianist mother and a top strategist father, I grew up with two deadly skills: piano that can silence a hall, and a mind sharp enough to outplan anyone.

That’s how I met Gao Yi. Mysterious, cold, ridiculously handsome, and the only friend Qiao An has.

He looks down on me without even trying to understand. But fate is twisted. The arrogant heir to America’s largest investment group slowly loses his heart to me—the girl he once hated. When his possessive cousin sets her eyes on tearing me down, he finally wakes up… Only to find he’s already pushed me too far. This is the story of a cold, proud tycoon who messed up bad. And the long, humiliating, desperate chase to win back the only woman he’ll ever love....
