I Woke Up as the Sickly Genius's Haughty Patron

Zariyah wakes up mid-stride, violently kicking down the gilded doors of the Sun-Jewel Pavilion. The occasion? A lavish engagement banquet where the scheming noblewoman Faridah is publicly dumping Tariq - a sickly, coughing genius whose magical patents she just stole. Worse, an infuriatingly familiar voice in Zariyah’s head - her own omnipotent past self - informs her she must save Tariq and other tragic side characters across the multiverse, or lose her soul. Armed with a cowardly mechanical peacock sidekick and a dangerously prickly ego, Zariyah refuses to softly coddle these broken men. Instead, she aggressively force-feeds them lost, forbidden knowledge so they can crush their oppressors themselves. As Tariq transforms from a bedridden outcast into a supreme weaver of reality, Faridah’s plagiarized legacy begins to violently and publicly unravel. But with her past self's holograms constantly mocking her every move, can Zariyah survive her own absurdly difficult multiverse without trying to murder her own system first?
