The Glittering Court narrates the story of a beautiful and strong girl, Adelaide, an Osfridian countess who is planning to act as her servant with the sole purpose of escaping from the arranged marriage and starting her life as a new person in Adoria, a completely new world.
However, it is not as easy as it sounds because to do that, she has to join the Glittering court. The glittering court, both a school and business venture, transforms the impoverished girls into upper-class disciplined women who can have the fate of marrying rich and noble families.
Adelaide manages to make new friends that help her hide her true identity until the intriguing Cedric, son of the wealthy proprietor of the Glittering Court, encounters her. However, the story turns when Adelaide comes to know Cedric’s dangerous secret, and they both decide to scheme to make the best of Adelaide, which is deception.
Complications arise that Adelaide catches the powerful governor’s attention; however, these complications are nothing compared to the danger arising from the potent attraction between Adelaide and Cedric.
