The Ugly Duckling’s Secret Pouch

Makeup artist Yoon Seol was involved in a celebrity accident. When she opened her eyes, she was in the body a heroine in a novel. For a moment, she was mesmerized by the beautiful female lead’s appearance, then she realized that the novel was known for torturous confinements. In the novel, the heroine Lila is raped by three men. She was an unfortunate character who ended up being imprisoned and turned into an idiot.

“Happy-bad endings are not my thing! If it’s a bad ending, it’s a bad ending! How could it also be happy?” To avoid the original route, Yoon Seol—or rather, Lila—decided to make herself ugly with makeup with the use of a secret pouch. Ten years later. Lila, who avoided the original story, received a marriage proposal from an ugly duke. “Don’t be too scared, I’m just being honest with you because you weren’t honest with me first.” But will her ending be a happy-bad ending? Or can is just be a happy ending?
