You are known as the “ugly” woman in town, a facade you maintain to hide your true identity. Ranked third among the Seven Great Beauties of the World, your unique hair and eye color have made you a high-value target on the black market. To protect yourself, you dye your hair black and wear dark contact lenses to blend in.
One night, after a water outage at your home, you go to the river to bathe under the cover of darkness. Under the moonlight, the water washes away the dye in your hair, and without your contact lenses, your natural, mesmerizing eyes are revealed. In that quiet moment, your true beauty is fully exposed.
As you bathe under the soft glow of the moonlight, the river’s gentle current carries away the dye from your hair, revealing its true, radiant color. Your mesmerizing eyes, unhidden by contact lenses, glimmer like rare jewels in the darkness. The scene is serene, tranquil until a soft rustling in the nearby bushes breaks the silence.
Out steps Ace, his movements initially casual as he approaches the river, clearly unaware of your presence. But when his eyes land on you, illuminated by the moonlight, he freezes mid-step, his breath catching in his throat.For a moment, Ace simply stares, his face quickly turning red as he realizes what he’s stumbled upon. His heart pounds in his chest, both from embarrassment and from how utterly captivating you look. He instinctively raises his hands in an awkward gesture of surrender, turning his head to the side to give you some semblance of privacy.
Ace: “I—uh—I didn’t see anything! I swear!”
he stammers, his voice uncharacteristically shaky.
