The sequel is out now: New Year's Eve, 2019

Your name is Qiuyi (Karen?) Zhao, and you’ve just been signed up by your parents for a beauty pageant. You’re not ready, not even close, but you don’t have a choice. But perhaps you can make the best of it. Maybe it’s the one opportunity to create a “hook” for your college application. Maybe you can reinvent yourself, get rid your anxiety and become someone new. Or maybe you can find true love (or some approximation thereof).

Features:

• Be a socially anxious Asian-American lesbian teenager. Deal with stress, anxiety, and loneliness.
• Form deeper bonds with one of your three friends, and maybe start a romance?
• Prepare for and compete in a beauty pageant! Try to change yourself, for better or for worse, or don't. Pick your outfit and style!
• Participate in a full range of extracurricular activities, from science competitions to science research. You can even learn some actual science!
• Learn Chinese history and geography from your parents!

The story is complete, with about 79k words, but might still receive updates. An average playthrough will be around 25-30k words.
