1. Aili’s Inferiority and Insecurity

Aili stood in front of the mirror, her gaze fixed on her ordinary face. Her eyes were indeed not big enough, and her double eyelids were not obvious, always revealing a hint of timidity in her eyes. She slightly frowned and carefully examined her nose, feeling that it was not tall enough, and the nostrils seemed a little wide. She gently stroked her cheek with her hand, and the skin seemed a little rough, with some faint spots scattered here and there. These flaws in appearance made her feel extremely frustrated.

She silently lowered her head and looked at her slightly thin figure, with not broad enough shoulders and not tall enough build. She felt that she was so small and insignificant in the crowd, as if she could be drowned in the sea of people at any time. When walking on the street, she always lowered her head, dared not look at others directly, fearing to see disappointment or contempt in their eyes. She felt like an ugly duckling, never able to become a beautiful white swan.

This deep sense of inferiority was like a heavy stone pressing on her heart, making it hard for her to breathe. She enclosed herself in a small world, enduring the pain in her heart alone. She was unwilling to participate in social activities or dare to try new things, because she felt that she was not good enough to deserve those beautiful things. She lived a monotonous and dull life every day, as if there was no hope left in her life.

By chance, Aili came across a wig store. Those various wigs displayed in the shop window caught her eye, and she couldn’t help but walk into the store to find out. When she walked into the store, a strong chemical smell hit her nostrils, making her feel a little uncomfortable. But her curiosity soon overcame the discomfort, and she began to observe those wigs carefully.

She saw a long curly wig, whose hair hung down on her shoulders like waves, shining with charming luster. She couldn’t help but pick up that wig and put it on her head. When she saw herself in the mirror, a novel feeling welled up in her heart. That wig instantly turned her into a charming woman, and her face looked even more soft and charming against the curly hair. She tried several different styles of wigs, and each one brought her a different feeling.

Some wigs made her appear gentle and graceful, like a blooming lily; some made her appear fashionable and avant-garde, as if at the forefront of fashion. During this process, she experienced a kind of unprecedented freedom and change, allowing her to switch different images at any time. She began to imagine herself wearing different wigs and appearing in different occasions, showing different styles. This feeling made her feel excited and thrilled, as if she had found a brand new self.

However, while enjoying the changes brought about by the wigs, Aili also began to worry. She was afraid that others would discover that she was wearing a wig and would cast strange glances at her. She felt as if she was disguising herself, and this feeling made her inner struggle very intense. She didn’t know whether what she was doing was right or wrong, and whether she should continue to persevere. Sometimes, she would feel that she was hypocritical, clearly not being the real herself, yet deliberately dressing up. But on the other hand, she also enjoyed the feeling brought about by this change, feeling that she had become more beautiful and confident.
