Heaven's Will Cannot Be Denied

Chu Xiyan, princess of Southern Tang, was born with a beauty that could topple kingdoms, the most stunning woman under heaven. Unfortunately, her father didn’t love her and neither did her mother. She was saddled with the title of “greatest beauty” while being mocked as “talented but plain.” She even had a fiancé everyone envied, but before they’d ever met, she heard that he was so smitten with someone else that all he wanted was to break off their engagement.

Chu Xiyan: Could my life get any worse?

Answer: Of course it can.

Word is, the woman who has your fiancé so smitten is the Phoenix Star incarnate.

Word is, your brother likes her too.

Word is, your man... Oh, he’s probably blind.

Chu Xiyan: Heh.

A precious pearl willingly veils its light; a sharp blade hides its edge.

I’ve kept myself hidden all this time, just waiting for you.

P.S. The heroine is neither reborn nor transmigrated. She’s a Mary Sue, and the romance is a love-hate relationship.

The supporting heroine has an inspiring backstory, while the male lead is a dark, twisted type shaped by childhood trauma.

A friend says this is basically the legendary life story of a supporting heroine.
