[WARNING: MATURE CONTENT]. I am an ordinary high school girl. My name is Lily, a beautiful girl with blue hair and blue eyes. On the day I was born, a fortune teller predicted my twist of fate, declaring that my appearance would cause great trouble. My parents believe strongly in this vision, and for this reason, they conceal my beauty, making me appear as the ugliest girl. Well, I'm not sad because I know this is only a concealation. I fell in love with my classmate, Lu Chen. I sought the help of my friend regarding this matter, and surprisingly, Lu Chen asked me out. Happily, I accepted his proposal without a second thought, and we began our relationship. Our relationship lasted for a year and a half, and I thought that since he loved me so much and didn't care about my appearance, I should give him a huge gift: to reveal my stunning appearance. I was prepared and ready, so I went to his house, but I was greeted with an unbelievable scene. My friend and my boyfriend, in the same room, were together, making love. That's not all, I also overheard their conversations that he approached me not out of love, but because he was using me to maintain a good image at school while also protecting his relationship with my friend. Heartbroken, I snatched the nearest vase and went away to the cliff. I never expected him to come after me. I couldn't accept reality; I couldn't bear it at all and I sought a breakup, but instead of granting my wish easily, he pushed me off the cliff. I thought I was going to die, but my life was strong; I didn't perish. However, that strong life of mine was strangely troubling as I found myself in a beast world. In this beast world, beastmen were the most handsome, while their females were extremely ugly to the point of causing pain to the eyes. I discovered that the men could have only one wife in their entire life, while females could have as many husbands as they wanted. Furthermore, females had the opportunity to abandon their husbands, and death awaited the men who were abandoned. How I wish the men in my world were punished like this! I could only pity the unfortunate beasts. Oh... I am a peerless beauty in the beast world, and I am pursued by many powerful beasts. It's really true that only a beauty can be surrounded by power. What do I do? i only want to go back home, If possible, I want to punish both my friend and Lu Chen. but the question now is... how do I go back? am stuck her with powerful Beasts as my mates

Now, Fane must fight to survive alongside native warriors and foreign entities alike, all while unraveling the cryptic mysteries of this strange and dangerous realm. Survival is only the beginning - deciphering the truth could change everything. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Hello! Thanks for checking out my work! I'm not the greatest author, but I plan to consistently update this project, even if I have to write significantly slower than what you typically find on this platform. (My apologies!) Below, you will find some key notes that might be nice to see before becoming invested. PACE: 1 ch/week For now, I plan to write roughly 1 chapter / week. However, this might change in the future as I acclimate to writing more frequently. (Or if this story randomly becomes very successful.) MONEY: At least first 50 ch FREE I know I just mentioned this story becoming "successful", which typically entails paying the author and bla bla bla. BUT! I like the idea of this just being my story with no hooks or lines for a while. I plan to make the greater first chunk of the story free. TRENDS: ~~Overpowered~~ Honestly, I hate the concept of things being "overpowered". It reminds me of the first time I hacked my favorite childhood videogame. (It sucked the fun out of it completely.) That being said, I want this story to involve genuine challenges that take effort or risk to overcome. GENRE: Action, Mystery I would like this story to focus primarily around Action and Mystery. There might be some mild things tossed into the fray like comedy and romance, but don't expect anything too raunchy. DISCORD: -not yet implemented- I may eventually start a discord for this story. It could make a good library for supporting lore or artwork, as well as a place for people to discuss their theories or leave feedback. For now, this discord doesn't yet exist, but I will update you here when/if that changes. OTHER STORIES: Paused A few of you may have known me from my previous stories. I know, you may be pretty bummed that I haven't updated either in a really long time. There were some pretty hefty flaws in those stories that I kind of beat myself up over. (I actually formed this story while trying to restructure the surface world for 'Reincarnated as a Haunted Machine'.) For now, this will be my only work, as the world I live in has become rather complicated in recent years. Perhaps at some point, I will return to my other works, but for the foreseeable future, this story will be my one true love.
