Hero Seorang Cinderella
# A Cinderella's Hero The story of a Cinderella named Nura Medina and her hero, Tengku Ian Uzzam. At first glance, people would say she is fit to be a thriller version of Cinderella. She is beautiful but her face is frozen. Her sincere smile is rare. Her gaze is sharp, sharper than a sword. Everything is just to hide the story of her life. That is Nura Medina. One hundred and eighty degrees different from her hero. Her hero is still a Prince Charming version. He is devastatingly handsome. His smile is sincere, melting hearts. His gaze is enough to make young maidens curious. And his return to Malaysia this time comes with a mission. That is Tengku Ian Uzzam. Nura Medina lives with her stepmother, Datin Mawar and her stepsister, Puteri following the second marriage of Medina's father, Datuk Azizan. Medina's relationship with her father is not very close because she is constantly being instigated by Datin Mawar. Until she is slandered and then driven out of the house by Datuk Azizan.
