    Default Schools with beauty requirements

    All students of the secret CareFree school in DGSD had to be beautiful. How on earth do you pick students when they are young. Beautiful kids dont always become beatiful adults. Do the schools pick them when they are in their teens? Doesnt sound likely. I know that this isnt the only requirement, but it must be important since WZT to hesitate to take on ZX as a student.

    And I dont know if it is a requirement for the Tomb sect, but all their students were beauties! Even YG!

    There's actually something of a 'system' of standardized beauty. In China, beautiful/attractive faces are clearly delineated by the bone structure of their face, their eyes, their lips, their nose, and their ears. For example, the ideal face is that of a 'melon seed shape', known as the 瓜子脸. The skin should be white like jade (not pasty or pale). There's an 'ideal' shape for each of those components, from the cheeks to the chin to the mouth, and these things generally don't change too much.

    Most leads or powerful heroes/heroines are good looking. Important characters tend to be good-looking too, cos nobody wants to read a book full of ugly people.

    Beside you can just accept the kids, and then start kicking them out of the school when they start getting ugly.

    It's sort of like how you would chose a wife...

    Make sense.

    How about the Tomb sect. Did they have any requirements, or were they just lucky with their selection of students.

    XLN was an abandoned baby, right? In that case it sounds like luck (on XLN's part anyway).

    Im pretty sure there is no beauty requirement for Tomb sect. It is a bit strange that almost everyone connected to Tomb sect are pretty. LCY, XLN, LMC, LMC's student and YG. Fate? Luck?

    As I said, nobody wants to read a story full of plain or ugly people. Part of the reasons why we read such novels is to escape from the real world (same reason why we watch TV and movies). Besides, humans have a natural love for beauty so of course we are going to expect the fantasy or 'perfect' world to be filled with beautiful people.

    Okay. It was just weird seeing the word "Beauty" applied to a male

    Their requirement is: gotta love ze c0ck, but pretend to hate it. We call that "feminazism" these days.

    That is the reason why 90% or so of the female characters are either beautiful, cute, sexy, lovely, attractive, or ect... I rarely see any ugly female character. I doubt the rate of beauty in ancient china is that high.

    Hey what about the guys. They are also always handsome or at least charming. Duuh.

    As for the beauty rate in ancient days... hmm... I guess we can only imagine.
