Faking RoyaltyJessica was an ordinary corporate employee whose greatest struggles were impossible deadlines, exhausting meetings, and an annoying coworker who kept stealing her almond milk.Then she wakes up inside a historical web novel.Unfortunately, she isn't the heroine.She has transmigrated into Michelle, the infamous villainous consort destined to be betrayed by her father, framed for treason, and executed by the ruthless Emperor Kelvin before the story even reaches its climax.With death only days away, Jessica is determined to rewrite her fate.But there is one problem: the supposedly terrifying Emperor Kelvin isn't who he appears to be.Behind the cold imperial mask is Alex, Jessica's former coworker from the modern world. He has also transmigrated into the novel—and he has absolutely no idea how to rule an ancient empire.With a corrupt Prime Minister, a scheming prince, poisoned tea, political assassinations, military conspiracies, and an army preparing to overthrow the throne, the two former corporate workers realize they have only one choice:Work together.Armed with Jessica's knowledge of the original storyline and Alex's modern business instincts, they begin treating the empire like the world's most dangerous corporate takeover. They introduce accounting systems, reorganize military supplies, expose corruption, solve a devastating grain crisis, and turn political traps against the people who created them.But their greatest surprise comes when another modern woman appears in the palace—Cecilia, a self-proclaimed heroine who believes she has transmigrated into a romantic fantasy where she is destined to win the Emperor's heart.Unfortunately for her, she's entered the wrong story.As enemies close in and the original plot begins collapsing around them, Jessica and Alex must decide how far they are willing to go to survive.Because rewriting a story is one thing.Taking control of an empire is another.And when Prince Jayson finally launches his rebellion, Jessica and Alex discover that the only way to survive the ending is to stop following the script altogether.In a world where everyone is pretending to be someone they're not, two modern minds must fake their way through royalty, defeat the villains, and build a future that was never written for them.They were supposed to be characters.Instead, they became the authors of their own happily ever after.
