The other version Conform or Suffer: A Romance is on Inkspired. Only the first chapter is similar, but even that goes in a different direction. Quig is an adoptive father in, Conform or Suffer: A Romance and it's set in a different universe. Uglier is also set in a different universe and each novel can be read as a standalone.
I did make an update to this version of the novel and removed some smaller characters such as Chloe.

Synopsis
Never say I love you. If Grew-Ella tells her best friend, Quig, she loves him, they'll come for her, or worse, him.
Quig and Grew-Ella have been one step ahead of the system, but one wrong move could lead to a fight-to-the-death beauty contest or a workhouse prison.
For Quig, rejection can be fatal. When his fiancée abandoned him at the altar for the king, he needed to come up with a survival plan.
Their secrets are tested when Grew-Ella saves his life. But who will save her from her sister and the sinister evil that lurks behind her plastic smile?
