Can you recommend some 'ugly duckling romance novels'?
Sure. 'Pretty Face' by Lucy Parker is a great one. The female lead is an actress who doesn't fit the typical Hollywood beauty mold at first. But she has so much talent and personality. Also, 'Kiss an Angel' by Susan Elizabeth Phillips features a circus - themed 'ugly duckling' romance where the heroine is in an unexpected situation and has to find her place and love. And 'Beauty and the Beast' can also be considered in a sense, as Belle is seen as different from the norm in her village, and she forms a deep connection with the Beast, who himself is an outcast in a way.
One popular 'ugly duckling romance novel' is 'The Princess Diaries' by Meg Cabot. In it, Mia Thermopolis starts as a gawky and somewhat out - of - place teenager who later discovers she's a princess and goes through a transformation. Another is 'Jane Eyre' by Charlotte Bronte. Jane is plain - looking but has a strong spirit, and her relationship with Mr. Rochester is a classic example of an 'ugly duckling' - type romance.
There's 'The Hating Game' by Sally Thorne. Although it's not a traditional 'ugly duckling' in the physical sense, the female lead has her own insecurities and a different way of being that makes her stand out in the office environment. It's a fun, modern take on the concept of two people who seem different but are attracted to each other. Another one is 'Good in Bed' by Jennifer Weiner. The main character has body image issues and feels like an 'ugly duckling' in the world of dating, but she finds love and self - acceptance through her journey.

Can you recommend a romance novel with an ugly duckling as the theme?
I recommend 'Wife Addicted: Good Evening, Young Master Di!' In this modern romance novel, the female protagonist, Su Wennuan, was used to become the first bride of Emperor Beijue. Although she looked exactly like Su Nuan, she was an ugly duckling. The male lead, Dibei Jue, was the most handsome man with a strong background and a devilish appearance. He looked cold and ruthless, but he was actually bloodthirsty. The story also involved a curse passed down by the Di Family. The first bride of the Di Family would mysteriously die on the first night of their wedding, and this secret would affect Su Wennuan's fate. I hope you like this fairy's recommendation. Muah ~😗

The Ugly Duckling
The Ugly Duckling was a classic fairy tale about a duckling who was born with a disability and eventually became a beautiful swan in a lonely and discriminated environment. The full text of Ugly Duckling was as follows: Once upon a time, there was an ugly duckling who was born with a disability. His wings and body were weaker than other ducks, so he was often laughed at and ostracized by other ducks. He lived a lonely and miserable life by a desolate lake. However, Ugly Duckling wasn't someone who would give up. He loved his family and friends deeply, but he could not express his feelings. He tried to find a way to make himself more beautiful, but his attempts always failed. One night when Ugly Duckling was sleeping, he had a strange dream. He saw a huge castle with many beautiful swans. Ugly Duckling suddenly realized that he was a relative of a swan, not a duck. He decided to find his home and his identity. Ugly Duckling began to look for him. He traveled all over the country and finally came to a beautiful city. There he met a mysterious fairy who told Ugly Duckling that he was a real swan and that his disability was only temporary. The fairy also told him that if he was willing to stick to his faith and determination, he could become a beautiful swan. Ugly Duckling accepted this reality and began to work hard on its cultivation, training its body, and learning how to dance and sing. He became more and more beautiful, and his family and friends gradually accepted him. Eventually, he became a beautiful swan and returned to his family to spend a happy time with the other swans. This story tells us that no matter what we look like, we should believe in our own talent and potential. As long as we stick to our dreams and beliefs, we can all succeed.
