I time-traveled. The moment I opened my eyes, a man who looked like he'd been beaten with the ugly stick was sneering down at me. "Sarah, go kiss the ugliest guy in the room, and I'll unblock you on WhatsApp." Me: ??? Aren't you the ugliest guy in the room? Then I followed his finger. In the corner sat a man in a crisp white shirt, looking aloof and stunningly handsome. Later, I found out this is a world where beauty standards are reversed. 1 "Sarah, hurry up! Go kiss him!" When I arrived in this body, the jeering around me was reaching a fever pitch. Kiss who? I blinked, confused. The mocking voices continued. "Chad really knows how to play. Making Sarah kiss the ugliest guy." "Hahaha, the ugliest guy is obviously..." "This is brilliant. It humiliates him and pranks Sarah at the same time." Someone winked and gestured in a direction. I instinctively followed their gaze. Holy crap! My eyes! My poor eyes! A man so ugly he could be a meme was sitting in the center, surrounded by people. Seeing me look, he hugged the girl next to him tighter and raised an eyebrow. "Sarah, we had a deal. I said the universally recognized ugliest guy. No cheating. Just one kiss, and I'll add you back." insert confused math lady meme Bro, look in a mirror. Is there anyone uglier than you here? Also, did you mix up your words? You'll add me back? Talk about delusional confidence. The Ugly Man—Chad—saw me hesitate and thought I couldn't find the target. He pointed again. I followed his finger. Guess what? My eyes, previously assaulted by ugliness, were instantly healed! In the opposite booth sat another group. But in their center sat a man with cold, refined features—a devastatingly handsome guy. Seeing him was like seeing the sun break through storm clouds in this dim bar. Forget arguing with Chad. I pressed my lips together, my voice trembling slightly. "You want me to... kiss him?" "I want you to kiss the ugliest guy here." Chad grinned maliciously, staring straight at the handsome guy. I nodded, feeling a bit sorry for him. Not only was he ugly and mean, but he also needed an optometrist. 2 Listening to the raucous cheers, I didn't hesitate. This wasn't a humiliation; this was a reward. Most importantly, I fell in love with the handsome guy at first sight. The people around the handsome guy clearly heard the commotion and glared at me, telling me to get lost. I ignored them and sat directly next to him. I saw a flicker of humiliation in his eyes. I didn't get it. I’m not bad looking. Even if he didn't want a kiss, "humiliation" seemed a bit strong. Without thinking too much, I opened my mouth to confess. But the handsome guy glanced at Chad's group and spoke with a hint of self-mockery. "I, Liam, may be ugly, but I only kiss my girlfriend." Me: Excuse me? Handsome, do you hear yourself? You're ugly? YOU'RE UGLY?! You could be a K-pop idol right now. But that wasn't the point. My heart raced. I grabbed his hand. "Do you have a girlfriend?" Liam paused. "No..." I didn't let him finish. "Well, you do now." Liam: ... "You're not speaking, so I'll take that as a yes." "Since I'm your girlfriend, can I kiss you now?" Liam looked at me, let out a self-deprecating laugh, and leaned back against the sofa. "You're really going all out for Chad." That languid posture made me lose my mind. Knowing he misunderstood, I straightened up and leaned over him. Eye to eye, I whispered a compliment about his eyes, then kissed him. Liam looked shocked. His lips were soft, and I lingered. The crowd gasped. The next second, Chad's angry voice rang out. "Sarah! What are you doing?!" I wanted to continue my exchange with Liam. But Chad was too loud. I turned around impatiently. "Are you blind? I'm kissing my boyfriend." Liam instinctively put a hand on my waist. The scene descended into chaos. Chad tried to grab me, Liam protected me, and the two groups started fighting. I later learned they were arch-enemies. Chad just wanted to use me to humiliate Liam. 3 On the way back to the dorms in Liam's car, I looked at the Rolls-Royce's starlight headliner, then at him. Yep, he was definitely the better view. "Why are you staring at me?" "Because you're good-looking." As soon as the words left my mouth, Liam's expression turned strange. "Sarah, for the sake of us being classmates, I helped you out today. Don't push your luck." What? Was he regretting it? I panicked. "I'm not joking! I really want you to be my boyfriend. Please, date me! I'm willing to ride in luxury cars and live in mansions if it means being with you!" Liam laughed in exasperation. After a moment, he asked, "You really think I'm good-looking?" I nodded furiously. Anyone with eyes could see that! If I wasn't afraid of scaring him off, I wouldn't even be going back to the dorms tonight. He smiled almost imperceptibly. "Since you're my girlfriend, you can't be involved with Chad anymore." I agreed instantly. I can't believe such good luck fell into my lap. When we arrived at my dorm, I lingered in the car. "Is there something else?" Liam asked. I twiddled my fingers, glanced shyly at the driver, and whispered, "Shouldn't couples do something before parting?" He raised an eyebrow. The driver tactfully exited the vehicle. A few minutes later, I walked into the dorm building with swollen lips. In the car, Liam watched my retreating figure. "Sarah... you better not be lying to me." 4 As soon as I entered the room, a sarcastic voice greeted me. "Well, look who's back. The campus simp. Why are you back so early? Don't need to run errands for Chad?" That was Zoe, my roommate who never liked me. I ignored her, washed up, and climbed into bed. I had swapped bodies with the original Sarah. We briefly exchanged memories, but I barely knew these roommates. No point explaining. I happily picked up my phone to text Liam. But when I opened WhatsApp, I saw a friend request. From Chad. His message was condescending, saying that since I obeyed him, he would graciously add me back. I rolled my eyes. The original Sarah only said she liked a guy named Chad. She didn't mention he was ugly and trash. I accepted the request, watched the "typing..." indicator appear, and immediately blocked him. The next morning, my roommates were surprised to see me still there. "Aren't you bringing Chad breakfast today?" I looked up from my chat with Liam. "Don't mention Chad anymore. I have a boyfriend." "What? Really? Who?" Before I could answer, Zoe scoffed. "Yeah right. Boyfriend. Everyone knows you're Chad's simp. You're just playing hard to get to get his attention." Me: ... Their tone when talking about Chad was weird. Like he was some god. Before I could ask, someone knocked on the door. "Sarah, someone's downstairs for you." Must be Liam. He should have just texted. I skipped downstairs. I saw a tall figure in a white shirt waiting with his back to me. I pounced and hugged him from behind. "Haven't seen you all night, I missed you!" The next second, Chad's smug voice sounded above my head. "Sarah, I knew you were playing hard to get." I froze and straightened up immediately. Crap, wrong person! Worse, Liam had arrived unnoticed and was standing nearby, witnessing the whole thing.
