Charming and the Beast Manhua

Hanbyul's heart raced as she stood face to face with Verkyllon in the moonlit garden. His piercing gaze seemed to strip away the layers of her disguise, revealing the vulnerability she had hidden for so long. "Who are you, truly?" he whispered, his voice tinged with both curiosity and concern. Torn between the fear of rejection and the yearning for acceptance, Hanbyul hesitated before finally mustering the courage to speak. "I am not who you think I am, Grand Duke," she confessed, her voice barely above a whisper. "But in this cursed form, I have found a freedom I never knew as a princess." Verkyllon's eyes softened with understanding, his hand reaching out to touch her clawed paw delicately. "Appearances can be deceiving," he said, a hint of sadness in his words. "But it is the beauty within that truly captures the heart." In that moment, Hanbyul realized that she had found someone who saw her for who she truly was, beyond the monstrous exterior she presented to the world. As their forbidden bond deepened, Hanbyul and Verkyllon faced mounting challenges from those who sought to keep them apart. Betrayal lurked around every corner, testing the strength of their love and the depths of their devotion. But together, they stood against the forces that threatened to tear them asunder, determined to rewrite their own fairytale ending in a kingdom where true beauty was finally recognized and celebrated.
