A dark-hearted White Lotus heroine x a prince who turns evil for love
Cherry doesn't like her own name, and she knows people look down on her status, so she takes the identity of a dead girl.
Cecilia: noble, elegant, with a name meaning "from heaven." That's the life she ought to have.
"Little lamb," "Little Cherry," "you."
All of these will become:
"Miss Cecilia," "the Princess Consort of Asturias," "the queen who rules half of Spain."
An orphanage in the North American colonies, no education, and walking a tightrope in a circus.
None of these will become burdens or blemishes. On the contrary, they are all steps she can climb to rise higher.
Things to note:
1. The heroine has little in the way of morals. She doesn't believe that if you're kind to her, she shouldn't bully you, so she will cut watermelons.
2. She's a native, with a bit of a golden finger, though it's not much beyond the kind of talent an ordinary person might have.
3. One-on-one romance, both leads are virgins.
4. Some things have a general logic to them, but won't hold up to close scrutiny, since this isn't an area I'm good at.
