Meili is a once-in-a-generation beauty raised in secrecy in the inner courtyards. To keep her safe from the palace concubine selections, her family conspires to make everyone, including her, believe that she's ugly. The secret's revealed when three peeping Tom’s get more than they bargained for spying on the 'ugly sister' bathing.
The perverts are best friends, a young commander, the second prince, and an admired poet, and the three young men compete fiercely for her affections. As Meili emerges from fifteen years in seclusion, her deeply rooted body dysmorphia has hilarious consequences as she misreads her interactions with men and proves to be a far more complex puzzle to woo than any of them are equipped for.
Meili has no intention of voluntarily giving up her new-found freedom in order to become someone’s wife, but her new best friends just refuse to stay in the friend zone. With war fast-approaching, will Meili grow-up fast enough to choose the right boy, or any boy? Or will her parents choose for her [#arrangedmarriage]? Can a great beauty avoid the Emperor’s harem?
A cdrama romcom where a young girl is a glittering prize trying her hardest not to be won.
[#teen#lovequadrangle#historicalromance#romcom#cdrama#sweetromance] Historical romcom loosely set in Ming Dynasty China.
