Synopsis
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.

Just finished reading the 63 chapters and I'll be waiting for the new chapter releases. I'm hooked on the FL's relationship with the 3 ML's. Kicks off around Ch 10. She's so cute and she's driving these boys crazy. I'm voting for the Prince. They would be sizzling together!!! Hope it gets picked up - need more chapters now pls author!!!
Hello Dear Readers, Thank you for checking out my historical romance novel. The story is loosely set in the Ming Dynasty, but with some poetic licence. The FL is naive and innocent because she's been raised in the inner courtyards, but she's smart, talented and she knows what she wants. 3 ML's are competing for her affections. The prince is arrogant, aggressive and used to getting his way, the poet is free-spirited, happy-go-lucky and handsome, the commander is stoney-faced and puts duty first. Chapter 10 is where this love quadrangle kicks-off and the rivalry between these three friends gets increasingly fierce! Who will our FL choose, or will her parents choose for her? How does a once-in-a-generation beauty avoid the mandatory concubine selections at the palace? Being raised in a bubble where everyone tells her she's ugly, there's plenty of comedy as she's allowed out of the mansion and misunderstands the effect her face has on men. And then there's the problem of an increasingly curvaceous figure when everything you've been taught tells you that female beauty only comes in a slim package. If you enjoy Asian historical romance, cdrama/kdrama, love triangles, jealousy and possessiveness, FL in a slow-burn love story, arranged marriages, pure and innocent love with YA spiciness, then this is for you. I hope readers will support me with votes, reviews and comments - with your support for the book I will release >20 chapters a week. Looking forward to hearing from you dear readers <3
I'm up to chapter 28 and so far loving this. The FL is super sweet and the 3 ML's are all very detailed and interesting characters. I thought I liked the Commander but the Prince is winning me over - love the burn. Can't wait for more of the two of them. Keep going dear author! You'll get my one vote a day :)
