The 101st Heroine

Reborn into a modest rural family, Evie Collins has grown accustomed to a peaceful and unremarkable existence far removed from the grandeur of high society. Her tranquil life in the countryside is abruptly upended when she finds herself thrust into an unprecedented competition for the hand of Crown Prince Ikasha, one of the most formidable rulers in the world. In a staggering twist of fate, Evie becomes the sole commoner standing against one hundred aristocratic ladies, all vying for the chance to become his bride. The prince himself remains an enigma shrouded in unsettling rumors. Whispers throughout the realm claim that his face bears a horrific disfigurement, which he keeps permanently concealed behind a mask. Many suspect this extraordinary contest was devised specifically because no noblewoman would willingly accept such a marriage under ordinary circumstances. Now, surrounded by haughty rivals who view her as nothing more than an unworthy outsider, Evie must navigate treacherous social currents and fierce competition. To survive this daunting trial, she will need to prove her resilience against the elite while uncovering the hidden truths about the mysterious man behind the mask.
