With eleven chapters, the story is paced just right for the unfolding of a twisted mystery. When completely indulged in the story, one can find an emotional ride to the drama in this Cinderellaesque tale. The synopsis alone is captivating.
The art is superb. To be honest, the first thing that hooked me to this manga was the art cover. We may not have seen the same art cover but the one I saw was the side view of man with a long dark hair who appears to be adjusting the glove on his right hand. I hoped to myself that it would maintain the incredible

Do you ever get annoyed by an anime/manga trope that isn't even a trope? A story so overly cliched yet so original that it leaves you perplexed. The more I read stuff like this, the more I realise how conservative this medium can be in regard to works being inspired by foreign literature and/or cinematography. Manhua's are fairly more wide-ranging, but they still end up in a same spot, dealing with a similar conundrum. It's only reasonable as they're obviously derivative of manga culture as a whole. With that being said, let's jump into it.
Enter Ayeshah, an ill-fated orphan who gets adopted by a bunch ...

A dark fairy tale that was much more complex than the Cinderella story it took its inspiration from. The story was told elegantly with its own share of well made surprises. It made me feel like I was part of the realistically constructed universe. The characters felt human in that fairy tale fashion, with all characters having a purpose in the story.

For most of the story, you’re led to believe Ayeshah is a quiet, kind soul burdened by tragedy. But in the final chapters, everything unravels, and you realize the truth she’s been hiding is far darker than you could have imagined.
