Story Synopsis
“The Too-Perfect Saint: Tossed Aside by My Fiancé and Sold To Another Kingdom” follows the story of Philia Adenauer, a woman celebrated as the greatest saint of all time. However, her exceptional abilities and perceived lack of charm lead her fiancé, Prince Julius, to call off their engagement. As a result, Philia is sent to the neighboring kingdom of Parnacorta in exchange for resources.
Despite expecting mistreatment, Philia is warmly welcomed in Parnacorta. She uses her saintly powers to help the citizens, erect barriers against monsters, and cure epidemics. As she thrives in her new life, Philia uncovers memories of the past, realizing she is in a story of a book. With her newfound memories, she helps the people around her and solves many problems, even as her former homeland faces potential destruction.
