Anomalies have always existed in the world, without any specific pattern. Sometimes they were places, other times objects, and occasionally, beings.

Due to her ugliness, Shen Ting was abandoned by her parents from a young age, enduring endless ridicule and scorn. Others called her a freak, a toad, a monster. She had helped many people, yet they never once thanked her—only disgust and insults were ever directed her way. Is being ugly truly a crime? When Shen Ting was pushed down the stairs by her only friend, she heard her say, “The only reason I befriended you was because you’re uglier than me. You make me look less hideous in comparison.” Only then did she realize that ugliness was indeed a sin—a sin she could never escape. Before she died, she prayed: if there were another life, she wouldn’t wish for wealth or health, only to be beautiful—just to be beautiful! God heard her plea, and so Shen Ting returned to her fifteen-year-old self, gifted with a system, a system called "Venus 001." The ugly girl underwent a stunning transformation, completing missions, conquering handsome men, earning points, and step by step ascending to the pinnacle of life.

In the fire four years ago, everything was burnt to ashes. Chi Xiao returned to the Chi family this time with the sole purpose of finding her missing child four years ago. However, the heir of the Mo family in the Capital City was seriously ill and was on the verge of death. Chi Xiao's stepmother suddenly arranged for Chi Xiao to marry into the Mo family in place of her biological daughter. She was to marry Mo Ting to counteract his bad luck for someone who was about to die. Chi Xiao's face was covered in scars and she was extremely ugly. As she married the Mo family's heir who was about to die of illness, everyone in the Capital City was waiting to watch her make a fool of herself. However, not long after Chi Xiao married into the Mo family, the heir of the Mo family recovered from his illness. At that moment, all the young ladies in the Capital City started wondering, "Chi Xiao, this ugly freak, is simply an eyesore. She's weak and useless. How can she be fit to be the young lady of the Mo family without any family background?" Chi Xiao scoffed. She removed her disguise to reveal a stunningly beautiful face. No family background? She was the daughter of the top wealthy family in the Capital City. Was that information useful? Weak and useless? Mo Ting smiled as he presented proof, "I wish to thank my wife for saving my life. The famous physician that I failed to hire with money turns out to be the woman I hadn't officially married. I must have made everyone worry." The top jewelry designer, a mysterious hacker of the international level, internationally known artist... As each of Chi Xiao's multiple identities started to unravel, the world was shocked that this ugly daughter born out of wedlock was actually a retired omnipotent bigshot! Everyone started to be salty, "So what? She'd still have to be someone else's stepmother after marrying him anyway, right?" The little dumpling took out a DNA test report. "Sorry to disappoint everyone! I'm my mommy's biological son!"

The Xia family had two daughters. One was Xia Rou, known as Jiang City’s number one beauty, and the other was Xia Yan, notorious and disfigured. Beautiful Xia Rou got engaged to the Mo family’s young master, but rumor had it that Young Master Mo was a cripple. Xia Rou refused to wed him. Hence, her notorious sister, Xia Yan, was forced to marry into the Mo family in her place. Young Master Mo was furious. “You’re not Xia Rou! How dare the Xia family cheat in this marriage!” Covering her face with a mask, Xia Yan said, “Young Master Mo isn’t crippled as the rumors claim. He’s even healthy, tall, and handsome. Xia Rou will surely regret if she finds out.” After their marriage, Young Master Mo’s friends gathered round. “Our sister-in-law must be gorgeous. You’re a lucky man!” When Young Master Mo thought of the woman who had to wear a mask even in her sleep to hide her ugliness, he flared up in anger. “Scram! Whoever brings up that woman again will have to marry her instead!” Then, Young Master Mo was radiating happiness. His friends gathered round once more. “Just what does our sister-in-law look like? Do you have to be so mysterious about it?” He flashed them a mischievous grin. “Scram! My dearest wife is the prettiest woman I’ve ever seen. You average folks aren’t worthy of gazing at her beauty, do you understand?” Everyone was dumbstruck. Has Young Master Mo lost his mind because his wife was too ugly? Back at home, Xia Yan was packing her bags. “Mo He, I’m divorcing you. You bully, humiliate, and dislike me!” Young Master Mo quickly hugged his wife. “My dearest wife, I’ll only dote on and love you. I can even give you my life!” Later on, Xia Yan realized that destiny wouldn’t appear out of nowhere. It had been fate all along.

"The winters that I've spent longing for you. Pay them all back." The King of Joseon, a corrupt womanizer who spent most of his time devoted to lazing around, buried himself in alcohol and beautiful ladies. Whilst the King was occupied with his leisurely activities, the citizens of Joseon were suffering from a myriad of problems. Shen Yuan had served under the King of Joseon's rule for countless years. Having born from a lowly servant woman, he was destined to follow in her footsteps. Witnessing the corruption that led the kingdom down a muddy trajectory, Shen Yuan resorted to treason. Rounding up an army, Shen Yuan finally seized the throne, and publicly executed the King, slaughtering the King's illegitimate sons, his harem of a thousand beauties, and only after this sanguinary bloodbath was finished, settled down as the sole regent that oversaw the Kingdom of Joseon. Though.. there was one person he mercifully spared the life of. The Crown Prince. Soon, a heinous rumor stirred up the Imperial Jade Palace. Once spread, it was like wildfire that couldn't be doused. Mouths flew quicker than birds, creating a final, pronounced result. "The current regent ruling over Joseon was in love with the late King!" Unable to bear his father's name being associated with sodomy and dragged through filth, even after his dishonorable death, the young prince, now a young King, found Shen Yuan to be a repulsive individual. This one-sided hatred stemmed from a memory belonging to the past that became a catalyst that catapulted the loath between the two. Whilst the regent remained steadfast, the young, impulsive King hated Shen Yuan. The regent hid an ugly truth, a small fragment that had been forcefully buried deep in the soil of his heart. He truly loved the dead King. Original novel; a work of collaboration between a fellow writer and I.
