Cinderella Problems

"The greatest lesson in the story is actually knowing your own worth…"

Knowing your own worth? Yanee was not exactly sure what Ria meant by that. She wondered if it was knowing your own strengths and weaknesses and working your way around it. 

"I told you that my story was like Cinderella, right?" Ria reminded her and she nodded. "But how do you think Cinderella really fared when the prince swept her off her feet and brought her to the palace?"

Urgh…

Opposition. Bullying. Discrimination. 

There was no way a commoner would not be reminded of her origins— just as Ria was bullied and abused by her mother-in-law. Even if the prince loved Cinderella, it didn't apply to the people around him.
