Her exquisite features were tinged with a touch of sorrow and melancholy between her brows, adding a delicate vulnerability to her beauty. Combined with her slightly pale complexion and a slender waist that seemed too fragile to grasp, one couldn't help but acknowledge she was a beauty who stirred pity in any man who laid eyes on her.

It could only be said: a beautiful woman is a source of trouble.
Sometimes, a woman's peerless beauty is not necessarily a blessing. Without formidable strength to match such stunning looks, she invites disaster upon herself and may even drag her family into ruin.
