Synopsis
In a world where beauty is more than skin deep, it is the sole measure of a person’s worth, power, and destiny. Thaloria, a glittering society of elegance and perfection, is ruled by the Guild of Aesthetics, a powerful institution that ranks every citizen based on their appearance. The higher one’s beauty score, the greater their influence, wealth, and respect. At the top of this hierarchy stands Lysander Valeris, the most beautiful man in the world, a living symbol of perfection, who commands admiration and adoration wherever he goes. He believes beauty is the only thing that matters—until a mysterious invitation threatens to unravel everything he’s known. When Lysander receives a cryptic invitation to a secret gathering at the Silver Crescent a ball rumored to reveal a new world beyond beauty he dismisses it as an inconsequential affair. But at the gathering, he is confronted by an enigmatic figure who challenges his vanity and warns him that his obsession with perfection may be his downfall. Struggling to ignore the seeds of doubt planted in his mind, Lysander is drawn deeper into a web of secrets, including an underground rebellion of "ugly" people who are determined to topple the Guild and overthrow the beauty-based system that controls their lives. As Lysander begins to question his place in the world, his perfect reflection starts to fracture. The more he learns about the rebellion, the more he realizes that beauty, once his greatest strength, is now his greatest weakness. He is forced to confront his deepest fears and insecurities, and to decide whether he will remain a prisoner of his own vanity, or embrace a new identity one that is not defined by his flawless appearance. In a society where beauty equals power, can Lysander shed his past and embrace a future where true worth lies in something deeper? The answer lies in the shadows of the Silver Crescent, where Lysander’s most dangerous enemy might be himself.

Chapter 1 - World Background

Thaloria is a world where the perception of beauty dictates not just personal worth, but the entire structure of society. People are ranked on a beauty scale from 1 to 100 by the Guild of Aesthetics, and this ranking determines everything from social status to wealth to career opportunities. The perfect 100 score is reserved for those born into noble families or those who undergo extreme procedures to maintain their flawless appearances. The higher one's beauty score, the greater their privileges.

The Guild of Aesthetics is a powerful institution in Thaloria, responsible for rating, maintaining, and controlling the beauty standards of the population. They hold the keys to society's structure and enforce rigid rules around appearances. People with lower beauty scores, referred to as the "ugly," live in the fringes of society, scraping by on minimal privileges and enduring discrimination. While Thaloria is a city of gleaming facades, a growing underground movement known as "The Revolt of the Imperfect" rises in secret. This faction, composed of those rejected by the Guild, seeks to overthrow the beauty-based hierarchy and return equality to Thaloria. The rebels believe that beauty should not define a person's worth.

At the top of Thaloria's beauty hierarchy is Lysander Valeris, a young nobleman whose appearance has long been revered as the pinnacle of beauty. Lysander's family, House Valeris, has held the highest beauty ranking for generations, and he is the living symbol of their legacy. The people of Thaloria admire him, and his life seems perfect on the outside. Yet beneath his flawless exterior, Lysander is trapped in the very system he benefits from constantly battling a deep fear of imperfection and loss of his beauty. His existence revolves around maintaining his appearance, believing that his external beauty defines who he is and his place in the world.

The Silver Crescent, a famed ballroom and event space in Thaloria, serves as the backdrop for Lysander's transformation. This location is where Thaloria's elite gather, showcasing not only their wealth and status but their unblemished beauty. The events held here, such as the mysterious invitation Lysander receives, are often steeped in secrecy and riddled with dark undercurrents. It is at the Silver Crescent that Lysander first begins to question his world, and where the seeds of rebellion take root.
