Good Looks Alone Definitely Aren't Enough

Miao An dreamed of becoming the most beautiful man in the world, but in reality, he relied on his good looks to get away with murder. Then he got a System.

The System wanted Miao An to become a playboy, and set out countless targets for him to win over. It told Miao An that as long as he completed the missions it assigned, he could gain a dazzling beauty filter and become stunningly gorgeous.

Everything else was fake. Loving beauty was real!

Miao An only wanted to become beautiful, so he immediately accepted the missions to become an unparalleled beauty.

Five years later, with the help of a fake face, Miao An became the most beautiful person in the world. By then, everyone adored him.

In the original story, Miao An was a promiscuous scum who played with people's feelings. The transmigrated protagonist had a face even more beautiful than Miao An's, so the scumbag who valued looks went off with the newcomer. Miao An's admirers fell for a face even easier to adore, and all the fish Miao An had raised jumped into the transmigrated protagonist's pond. Miao An, who had always believed that good looks alone would surely be enough, was dumbfounded.

The new emperor, who had won the beauty's heart, wanted to please his current lover, so he deliberately sent his former lover beyond the frontier to marry into a foreign court. He became the sort of scumbag who only sees the new lover smiling and never the old one crying.

As for the former lover, Miao An, he said,
