This's a poignant and engaging story that follows the life of a young woman named Beauty as she navigates the complexities of love, self - esteem, and acceptance in a society obsessed with beauty standards.
Beauty has always struggled with body image issues. Her weight has been a constant source of ridicule and rejection in her romantic relationships. When her boyfriend Steven proposed, instead of a joyous occasion, it turned into a humiliating scene at a jewelry store. Steven berated her for being fat when the engagement ring didn't fit, saying cruel things like "If you aren't so fat! Maybe the ring would have been your size!" and ultimately walked out on her. This incident was just one in a series of heartbreaks. Her first love, Tim, used her for his own curiosity and then discarded her after their first night together, confessing that he only dated her to experience being with a plus - size girl. Nathan, another boyfriend, cheated on her and openly mocked her with his friends, calling her fat and senseless.
Despite these setbacks, Beauty tries to move on with her life. She works at the Famous & Fabulous fashion company in New York City as a designer. At the company, she has a crush on Bruno, the CEO's son. Bruno is not only extremely good - looking but also humble and caring. When Beauty is publicly humiliated by Mr Hathaway, Bruno stands up for her, saying that she is one of the best designers and doesn't deserve such treatment. This act of kindness makes Beauty's feelings for him grow deeper.
One day at the company's restaurant, Beauty has an awkward encounter with Bruno. She is so nervous in his presence that she makes a series of embarrassing mistakes while ordering food. Bruno sits at the same table as her, and they have a short conversation. Beauty thanks him for standing up for her, and Bruno tells her that she is talented and needed in the company. During the conversation, Beauty also shows concern for his well - being when he neglects his food to focus on work.
However, Beauty's life at the company is far from easy. She is constantly bullied by Kathy, a beautiful and popular model who is the face of the company. Kathy calls her names like "fatty" and "imbecile" when Beauty accidentally bumps into her. Jessi, Beauty's only friend in the company, always comes to her defense. Beauty gets so frustrated that she finally snaps back at Kathy, saying that she is aware of her appearance but Kathy should find something new to hurt her with.
Meanwhile, Shelley, who lives in East Asia, discovers that she has a twin sister, who is none other than Beauty. Shelley is determined to help her sister boost her confidence when she sees a graduation photo where Beauty looks like an outcast and was possibly bullied.
The story is a powerful exploration of how society's beauty standards can deeply wound individuals, and yet, it also shows glimmers of hope through the support of friends like Jessi and the unexpected kindness of Bruno. It follows Beauty's journey as she tries to find her place in a world that seems to constantly judge her based on her appearance, and her growing self - awareness and strength in the face of adversity.
