This took so many turns, my head is still spinning 😐 Morue is a very ugly girl and is hated for it in her poor village. When she frees the evil fairy Mab from a curse, she wishes to be the most beautiful woman everyone has ever seen. Since Mab can't change her physical appearance, she makes everyone see her as beautiful instead.
And everything goes to hell. All the men who see her want her and go mad in the process. She flees from her village, only to ruin the peace between her country and the country in the north, since both kings want her.
And Morue doesn't know how to handle it. She ruins her village, makes her kingdom go bancrupt as the queen and nearly lets her new narcissim get to her.
Don't be fooled by the cover - this story is complicated, pretty fucking dark and twisted.
