Description

Hearing that her fiancé, the elegant Crown Prince, had become a paralytic, the noble girl who always wanted to outdo her peers couldn’t take the blow and killed herself, so her halpless disfigured maid had to finish the wedding ceremony with the Crown Prince on her behalf. “You are a paralyzed man, and I am an ugly girl. We are both despised by others, so we’d better stop loathing each other.” When they first met, she was all bluffing and pompous. … “Please keep instructing me for the rest of my life.” said the once paralyzed cripple who walked slowly towards her years later while putting a phoenix coronet over her head himself. “Instruct—Instruct how?” asked the bold and naughty ugly girl who acted bashfully like a newlywed at the moment, which was rare to see on usual days. “To instruct me this way…” His face was full of tenderness, while his fingers tried to untie the lute-like buckle of her underwear slowly.

My Thoughts on The Emperor’s Beloved Ugly Girl

Okay, let me tell you, I went into this one with a bit of hesitation. A 1300+ chapter novel? That's a commitment! But I kept seeing it pop up, and the premise—a scarred woman and a deposed prince finding solace in each other—was too intriguing to ignore. And honestly, I'm glad I took the plunge.

First Impressions

Initially, I was drawn in by the unique dynamic between the leads. It's not your typical OP MC and ML situation. Instead, we have two vulnerable, flawed individuals who find strength in each other. The female lead, despite her circumstances and disfigurement, is resilient and optimistic, and the male lead is stripped of his power and struggling to heal. This created an immediate sense of empathy and investment in their journey.

What Works Well

What I really appreciated was the focus on character development and relationship building. The "slice of life" moments, especially in the early chapters, were incredibly sweet and heartwarming. Watching them navigate their lives in the rural village, supporting each other through thick and thin, was genuinely fulfilling. It's a slow burn, but the payoff is worth it. The romance feels earned and believable, a breath of fresh air compared to some of the more trope-heavy stories out there. Also, the side characters are well-developed and add depth to the narrative, and the political intrigue, while not the main focus, adds a layer of complexity to the story.

Areas of Concern

Okay, so it wasn't perfect. I will admit that the pacing can be a bit slow at times, particularly in the middle section of the novel. And while the political maneuvering is interesting, some found the resolutions to be a little too convenient, relying more on fate than the characters' actions. Also, for those hoping for a lot of face-slapping revenge, you might be a little disappointed. The story leans more towards a "karma will get them" approach, which isn't everyone's cup of tea.

Final Verdict

Despite its flaws, "The Emperor’s Beloved Ugly Girl" is a heartwarming and engaging story about love, healing, and finding happiness in the simple things. If you're looking for a character-driven romance with a healthy dose of slice-of-life, I would definitely recommend giving this one a try. Just be prepared for a long journey, and don't expect a high-octane revenge plot. Instead, settle in for a sweet and satisfying story about two imperfect people finding their perfect match.
