    Summary

    Every day at the Magic Academy, Maria Campbell was bullied by young noblewomen who hated her for her low birth, beauty, and academic brilliance. She wished that someone would save her. One day, someone did. It was the beautiful, authoritative, prickly, and strangely melancholy Lady Katarina Claes, who comforted her and promised to make her strong enough to stand up for herself. What else could Maria do but fall hopelessly in love with her?

    Summary

    Being murdered had a way of changing even the most stubborn person’s view of the world... and Lady Katarina Claes, for all her good breeding, was no exception. But now that she's been reborn a year before her first death, she's vowed to burn away her weaknesses, wrest control away from her dark-hearted fiancé, and finally become the mistress of her own fate!

    ...Now if only she could stop accidentally seducing her would-be pawns...

    (Note: This story will act like an otome game and will begin with a common route that eventually branches into multiple routes, 1 per suitor that Katarina has. All of her suitors will eventually get their own solo paired ending with Katarina, with a few more endings thrown into the fray as well. You can ship all the ships here!)
