    Suddenly im craving some straight novel of a scarred / ugly or ordinary( really ordinary-not cute) and IT MUST STAY THAT WAY, i dont want that she suddenly turned beautiful, i want to read where the male lead accept her as they are and fall for their personality, maybe sometime she can turned pretty when go to event however she must stay to her ordinary self after that.

    And it would be nice if she was an ordinary abandoned empress of an ancient world, of course other world is welcomed as well. Oh, are there a story of an ugly omega/beta??(never heard that, all setting says omega is beautiful,fragile, delicate and give birth) That would be cute ,, lastly only looking for FLUFFY and SWEET CANDY only, no tragedy or some stupid triangle relationship.

    Kusuriya no Hitorigoto, I think this should fit what you want from the description and from the little bit I've read

    It absolutely doesn't. She's actually quite beautiful, but she uses various means to make herself look unappealing so men didn't approach her when she lived in the red light district.

    If you don't want to read the minor spoiler above, the answer is no.

    Well, that's disappointing
    How about Marielle Clarac’s Engagement?

    I believe that she is described as above normal but not gorgeous like most novels describe their female leads.

    I don’t think that counts. MC is Male.

    Oh! And I think you’re looking for Malicious Military Empress!

    Check that out! The MC is described as ordinary and plain throughout the whole series. And even when they are describing her. They always use, “though she appears plain and ordinary, the way she walks and her aura is as if she’s an empress/has class”
    Those are the descriptions she has.
    Even the ML says she isn’t the most beautiful woman and that she is rather plain.

    Japanese:
    Sweet Prince's Search she is plain and "manish" (she is good a karate) throughout. Although it is modern day, and the ML remains a little ambiguous as of the most recent chapter it's cute.

    Chinese:
    ...I can only find the ones that have a transformation in my reading list.

    My current, pure fluff read is Rebirth on the Doors to the Civil Affairs Bureau. It doesn't fit your criteria, but I really like it and I actually wish I could find more like it right now.

    Yes. Not the scum king.
    Gods no.
    I would have not read such trash for 228 chapters if the ML was scum king.
    The MC, since having been reborn, is very closed off emotionally from things like romance. And doesn’t happen for awhile. It’s a bit implied here and there. But doesn’t get too heavy into it till later!
    Must read! Very good! Haha!

    And again. Scum king is not MALE lead.
    Gods. Just thinking about it makes me wanna vomit.

    I dunno what Japanese novels you’ve been reading. The majority I’ve read, there is no horniness. There certainly isn’t in the ones that have been recommended to you. I don’t understand in the slightest what you mean by “the word is like conversation and too direct,” so I can’t speak to that.

    She is normal looking or slightly above. However she can use makeup to make herself uglier or prettier.
