Nerdy Girl Decided to Repel

Withlovetena
I never thought of myself as the kind of girl who’d run from love—not because I didn’t want it, but because I didn’t trust it. I’m not a coward. Love is just... terrifying. A few months ago, I got into the university of my dreams—far from home, far from expectations, and most importantly, far from him. I worked my butt off for five years, scraping plates and scrubbing floors to earn the one thing I wanted more than anything: privacy. No more sharing a room with four sisters. No more compromise. Just me, my books, and silence. Love, on the other hand? No thank you. I’ve seen what it’s done to my sisters—tears, drama, heartbreak. I don’t need another human complicating my life. Not even if he’s cute. Not even if he’s nerdy. Not even if he gets it. But then came the library. And him. Now, in a city built of stories and in the shadow of the largest library in the country, I’m starting a new chapter. One I didn’t plan. One that might involve more than just fiction. Because sometimes, even a nerdy girl who decided to repel might find herself wondering if the heart has a plot of its own.

The Leper King's Healer

After a tragic accident that sent her back 845 years in time to the year 1177, in the Middle Ages, during the reign of Baldwin IV of Jerusalem, Kate Mitchell, a wealthy business tycoon in the pharmaceutical industry, a gifted ex-military, a pharmacologist and botanist, and a brilliant archer from 2022, wakes up as Lady Philippa, a pretty, innocent, frail, and proper young lady of House Antioch, with whom she shares nothing in common. She realised she had died on that day, and her soul travels back in time and takes over the body of Philippa, a helpless lady who would face tragedy, betrayal, and scandal before dying young and heartbroken. She chose to live as Philippa because she had a second chance at life and only one goal in mind: to live and survive at any cost. To succeed, she must thrive and learn to live in the Medieval era, where nothing is common for her, and, above all, she must avoid an arranged marriage, which will doom Phillipa to death after a terrible heartbreak. Lady Philippa, unfortunately, is about to be engaged to an unknown man, and she must devise a plan to prevent this from happening. Kate's background as an ex-military officer, pharmacologist, and botanist, as well as her limited knowledge of history, will be invaluable in surviving the historical mediaeval times when modern technology was out of reach. However, she requires the assistance of the reigning king, Baldwin IV, who is suffering from leprosy at the time. She'll have to take control of the situation. It is up to Kate's bravery and intelligence to find a way to persuade Baldwin IV to help her, and she has few options other than joining his royal court. Will the king accept her, or will she perish as the body's original owner? Will she be able to change her destiny? Alternatively, will she be able to find the love and family she seeks?
