Features: On May 5, 1998, I truly entered the world of braces. I thought, "Anyway, if I'm ugly, it's only for two or three years. It's better than being ugly for a lifetime!" And after two or three years, I'll be 22 years old, and I can finally become a real beauty!
Xu Xidi, the popular Taiwanese talk show host and former braces-wearing beauty, recorded her youthful sentiments, private life, and three years of braces journey in Xiao S's Braces Diary. Since May 5, 1998, Xiao S officially embarked on her braces journey, becoming a "braces girl," boldly wearing them while hosting shows and cracking jokes. Despite continuous criticism calling her "ugly as sin," she didn't care at all and kept telling everyone, "In two years, once I take off my braces, I'll be a beauty!"
As her teeth gradually changed, Xiao S's life also went through many events—joys, sorrows, partings, and even deaths.
After her braces were removed, Xiao S indeed had a "refreshing" feeling. Xiao S with braces and her triangular love affair had always been the focus of media attention. This was the first time she publicly shared her private emotions, as well as her self-created comics and poems in collaboration with Big S and Fan Xiaoxuan.

"I got dumped! I received a call from Big Head in the UK. His tone was strange, as if he wanted to say something but couldn't. I felt a bit scared because I'd heard that kind of voice before—it meant he wanted to leave me.
He said: 'I've thought about it for a few days, and I think it's better for us to break up.'
It's really strange to say, but a lot of things happened after I got braces.
What the future holds is unknown. Anyway, I have to formally say goodbye to my braces and the past. I'll look forward to the days ahead—good, bad, great, or beautiful—all of them are welcome!"
