Synopsis
*TW: suicide
Beauty, someone or something that is pleasing to the eye. And for the most part, a beautiful person is perceived to lead a beautiful life. At least that is what most people think. This perception of theirs was just an idealism seen through rose-coloured glasses, and it would never be anything more than that. Of course, Chen Aiyu would know.
Her mother was a model, her father a nobody, and somewhere along the way, she came to join the family. She knew she was pretty, after all no one ever let her forget it. The moment she met someone new, they’d comment on how she looked. Initially it was flattering, but then it started to feel artificial. She never questioned it, why would they lie to her? But at the same time, why bring it up if it was so obvious she was pretty? It was because they were trying to butter up to her, wanting her for themselves. A pretty friend to brag about, a pretty girlfriend to show off to others. It was never for her sake, only for their own.
Aiyu hated looking in the mirror. All the distress in her life, all the suffering she was going through, it was caused by that very face. But what could she do about it? Absolutely nothing. It made her feel so powerless when it was something that was supposed to make her feel powerful. People looked at her face and claimed it was the paragon of beauty. People sought after her face, contrastingly saying that they were suffering because they weren’t as pretty as her.
He yelled at her, screamed at her, for what? For not returning his love? Why? It was not her fault she didn’t love him back. It was not her fault he assumed she had feelings for him. It was not her fault he decided to confess his feelings in front of everyone. Yet she was still blamed for it. The people pitied him and pointed their nasty fingers at her. You humiliated him! They would say, and she would wonder, what did I do? But for a person who has never had a break from being scrutinised and criticised against her whole life, it was nothing she couldn’t handle.
The situation only slipped out of control when he brought her family into it. She told him not to, but he still did. They died, they were gone. The guilt, all over her head, her arms, her legs, her body. And no matter how hard she scrubbed it wouldn’t rub off.
It’s your fault, it’s your fault. The same words over and over, just that this time, she believed it was true.

I would like to say that I like this story, it's sweet and the mc is cute. Can the author input those cute emojis for our mc's chats please? I could just imagine how great it would be for the mc's adorable character *(>.<)* . I think that this story is very cute, but it is fast. So far... - I think that the ml came into the mc's circle way to fast. The ml should have maybe slowly interacted with the mc because who would trust someone that they just met. Is the mc be wary of rich people because of how helpless she felt with her family's incident? - The ml's background / character should have been explained more because it seems like the mc found out the ml's usual character of being aloof somehow without explanation. How did the mc come to know about ml? Was she into jewelry? Was he in a business magazine before? - The characters need more explanation. How did mc's friends relationships come to be? Does the mc have trust issues because of how pretty much everyone hated her or wanted her? What were some of the bullying that happened at school? Is the mc *****? If so, how because of her bullying environment. If not, why did she trust mc so fast? Was there any times where her beauty got her into trouble (for example, "bad" agencies that want to take videos of her since she has a humble background)? etc details - Was the ml able to break the mc's shell just by their casual texts? Or just by reputation? Is the mc looking for love because of her fan girling? - Please explain the reasons behind the characters actions during some scenes. For example, can the author please explain why she was picking those particular flowers at the hospital. These are just the ones that I think needed a bit more work on. I'm weak against stories like these and I'm glad that the author started this story. It has a good start, but the story itself needs more detail. I think that the author got a good ideas with the mc's tendencies with her suicidal mentality. I hope that this helps the author. Can't wait for more interactions of mc and ml. And can't wait for more chapters.
