In his previous life, Chen Guang was a person who was well-balanced in every respect.
So well-balanced that he was utterly mediocre.
When he was reincarnated, Chen Guang used all his merit to make a wish:
He wished to be born with his talent maxed out in at least one area: intelligence, physical ability, looks... anything at all. He'd had enough of an ordinary life. Chen Guang wanted to experience life as a genius for once.
Whether he became a stunning beauty and made it big in show business, a super-intelligent genius who devoted himself to scientific research, or an athlete with maxed-out physical talent who brought glory to his country, he was fine with any of it!
And so, Chen Guang was reincarnated.
On the day he was born, every mirror in the hospital that reflected his face shattered and exploded. The phones that took his picture overheated and burst into flames. Countless people were so stunned by his beauty that they forgot to breathe, leaving the emergency room packed to capacity.
The state designated Chen Guang a top-level protected person, granting him special privileges surpassing those of giant pandas. Research experts built him an artificial island and carefully constructed a fake world for him. His classmates, teachers, and family were all carefully selected people with exceptional willpower. But unfortunately, every year Chen Guang still saw many people removed from the island after they were unable to resist his looks and confessed to him on impulse.
In the files, they described his face as "nuclear-bomb-level beauty."
Chen Guang: ...
Chen Guang: Hah.
This wasn't what I thought beauty meant.

At twenty, Chen Guang fell for a man and a woman.
He discovered that both of them had "top-tier face blindness" and were the only two people in the world immune to his beauty.
He despised himself for being a playboy even as he agonized over which one he really liked.
A certain person employed simultaneously by the intelligence agencies of four different countries: ...
#So this is the world-ending weapon Country A is paying through the nose for me to find?#
#Organization B is paying me to smuggle him out of the country.#
#Wait, first I'll sell out Organization B to Country C.#
#What, Country C wants me to date him on the government dime, and they'll pay extra if I have a child?#
#I'm a man, though? Oh, they don't know I'm a man.#
#Never mind, I'll reply to Country D first. What, Country D wants a romance, too?#
The person playing both male and female roles to earn two extra salaries: ...
He did the math:
If he teamed up with this walking, glowing mosaic, could he use a male and female identity in all four organizations and collect eight budgets?
