In a world obsessed with beauty, Yumi has always known exactly where she stands — at the very bottom. To society, there’s only one word that defines her: UGLY. She’s learned to live with it… until fate flips a coin. Literally.
When a lucky one-peso coin lands on her face and she tosses it into a pond with a quiet wish, something strange begins to unfold. The next morning, Yumi’s life starts to change in ways she never imagined — and so begins the extraordinary story of a so-called “ugly duckling” who receives a once-in-a-lifetime offer to become a model.
Is it luck, magic, or something deeper waiting to be uncovered? Sometimes, the glow-up isn’t just on the outside.
