From the moment Scarlet was born, she was despised. Not only did her birth kill her mother--the only person that would have loved Scarlet undeniably--but Scarlet herself was absolutely hideous. Even her own father was utterly disgusted. Scarlet grew up isolated from the others due to her repulsive appearances. All she ever wanted was to just fit in, and be pretty. When all hope seems lost, a witch gives Scarlet the opportunity to gain impossible beauty, in which Scarlet stops at no end to sustain the fake mask of beauty that shields her true face. As the story unfolds, Scarlet learns what true love is... what real beauty is... and what truly matters most in life.
