It made its grand debut on March 20th at the WEB Zenon Editorial Department, and fans are already talking about its unique premise and emotional depth.
The Tragic Life of Lucia Stearon
The story follows Lucia Stearon, a girl born with a very rare and peculiar constitution. She is what the world calls a "jewel princess." This means her body fluids literally turn into precious jewels. Now, imagine being born with a gift that only appears once every 200 years. Instead of being cherished, Lucia’s life was full of pain. Since she was a small child, she was forced to dedicate jewelry to her country, basically being treated like a factory. Even her own family didn't show her any love and kept hurting her for the sake of profit.
Despite all the suffering, Lucia had one small hope. She had deep feelings for her fiancé, the Crown Prince. To her, he was the only one who actually treated her like a human being and not just a source of wealth. But that hope was shattered in the most brutal way possible. On their wedding night, the Prince suddenly reveals that he has been dating another woman. If that wasn't enough, he goes ahead and poisons Lucia, ending her life right there.
A Second Chance and the Path to Freedom
But the story doesn't end with her death. In a surprising twist, Lucia wakes up and realizes she has returned to a time six months before the ill-fated wedding. This is why many fans feel the Jewel Princess is such a compelling read. Having a second chance at life, she decides she is not going to be exploited anymore. She makes a firm resolution to live alone and seek true freedom away from her toxic family and the treacherous Prince.
- Protagonist: Lucia Stearon, a girl with the power to create jewels.
