IIRC it's not actually true she was ugly. I believe she personally started the rumours about her being ugly specifically to deter any man who was interested in her for reasons other than her intelligence from pursuing her, thus resulting in her marriage with Zhuge Liang who valued her intelligence. If that's how it went and she started the rumours herself, then there's no reason they couldn't have been false. |
That's the romanticized version and yeah basically how Koei follows it while in reality girls could not choose their husband and she was proposed to Zhuge because of her family.
