Ashley’s mother was once branded a villainess, exiled, and later abducted by an unknown man. Now fifteen, Ashley bears the same striking eyes and hair as her mother’s captor—traits that could bring danger if discovered. To conceal her true appearance, she wears enchanted glasses and a hairband, both designed to distort how others perceive her. Because of this illusion, she’s often mocked as the “ugly girl with glasses,” leaving her isolated and friendless at the academy.
Her lonely existence takes an unexpected turn when she crosses paths with a strange, otherworldly being. Intrigued by her hidden nature, the crown prince begins to show an unusual interest in her. Could this be the start of a fateful connection, or will the secrets of her past unravel everything? Ashley’s life, once defined by solitude, might soon change in ways she never imagined.
The truth about her mother’s past, the reason behind her own concealment, and the prince’s sudden attention all weave together into a mystery that threatens to reshape her destiny. As whispers of her real identity spread, Ashley must decide whether to remain in the shadows or step into the light—no matter the cost.
