"royalty is a dark curse under a jewelled veil"
Marinette Dupain Cheng has secrets. Quite a lot of them, more than she should have.
She is Ladybug; The Parisian superheroine that battles daily against powerful supervillains with her partner, her identity secured by a polka dotted mask. But while her partner is just like every other teenager under the mask, Marinette wears another facade beneath her alter-ego's magical suit.
A Princess undercover as a Parisian teenager. The Princess of China.
Let's add boy troubles, liars, rich blonde brats, nosy friends, ready-to-kill rebels and oh, not to forget, a homicidal cousin. Sounds like a party, huh?
