A discreet, playful executive toy disguised as an interactive book for queer women in China. A coded survival guide hides its purpose in puzzles and everyday objects, serving as both entertainment and a subtle communication tool. Each page embeds cultural references and community slang readable only to insiders.

Queer women have existed throughout human history, though their experiences have often been erased, criminalized, or hidden from historical records. From ancient same-sex relationships documented in various cultures to the modern Queer movement, queer women have fought for visibility, equality, and the right to love freely. Each carefully crafted page in this toy contains hidden cultural references and community slang, accessible only to those who understand their significance.
