Miss Bennet’s Extraordinary Adventures [Classic Literature Crossover]

I woke up as six-year-old Mary Bennet.

I had transmigrated to the nineteenth century in a fantasy world, where there was magic, a skewed technological path, and chilling legends.

[Ten years later]

"Spending time on meaningless socializing is a waste of life."

The beautiful, gentle eldest sister is about to marry a wealthy young gentleman.

The independent, wise second sister will find love, bread, and a grand estate.

The pretty, frivolous younger sisters will each find their own fortune: one will win a pretty boy, while the other gradually becomes the center of everyone's attention.

The Bennet family's troubles will all be resolved.

And she will go adventuring in this dangerous world.

Mrs. Bennet complains endlessly.

"They'll think you're a witch. You'll die alone!"

"Mama, I was planning to die alone anyway. Besides, an enforcer isn't a witch, she's a guardian."

"Mary has a mind of her own. She'll be fine," her elder sisters say, never discouraging her.

"What a fine son-in-law: handsome, wealthy, refined, and of noble blood. Mr. Bennet, have you ever seen a man more handsome than Mr. Moriarty?"

After a ball, Mary acquired a suitor.

Professor Moriarty, well-born and strikingly handsome.

Dangerous and cunning at heart.

The only reason he kept visiting the Bennet home was that he needed a wife to help him pass himself off as a respectable gentleman.

Mary had seen right through him from the start.

"If you need help, I'll always be here, Miss Mary."

A catlike man, languid and urbane. Unfortunately for him, Mary wasn't falling for that act!

A sweet 1v1 romance! A romantic comedy.

A crossover with Pride and Prejudice (the Jane Austen universe), Dracula, The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, Frankenstein, The Picture of Dorian Gray, The Phantom of the Opera, and more.

Note: The timeline has changed! This is an alternate fantasy Victorian setting. The characters are out of character!

Here's another upcoming story!

The Holmes Family's Archrival

Jennifer had several fathers. Her mother was a famous beauty of high society, a mysterious widow, and a well-known London art investor. Jennifer inherited not only her mother's brains, but her beauty as well.

Her mother died when she was only thirteen. Jennifer inherited part of her estate and lived at a girls' school until she was eighteen.

She was at the center of society, yet on its fringes.

Jennifer had snow-white skin and a thick mane of red hair. Talented and witty, she was the darling of London's salons. The nineteenth-century art world was controlled by men who indulged in self-pity, and Jennifer soon grew bored with it.

Later, she learned she had a half-brother: the mysterious and dangerous Earl Moriarty. With nothing better to do, Jennifer volunteered her services and embarked on a new career.

Her brother recognized her talent and was eager to cultivate it, caring for her with great attention.

Before long, Jennifer had become a major figure in London's underworld.

She was a principled art-forgery genius, however, and only targeted hidebound aristocrats and devilish capitalists who exploited their workers. She was always happy to help those in need.

Playing Robin Hood and robbing the rich to help the poor gave Jennifer a sense of purpose.

Business went smoothly until the Holmes brothers showed up. Her brother James Moriarty was sent to an insane asylum, her organization fell apart, and London's gangs fought over territory like rabid dogs.

"Damn the Holmes brothers." Jennifer swore she would have her revenge!

"Sherlock, did a cat scratch your face?"

"A wild cat. A red-haired wild cat."

"I didn't know cats came in red."
