That Boy Is So Handsome

Blurb:

First-person narration, male protagonist.

My underling says I've got the ultimate face of a domineering CEO and heaven's favored child, with an irresistible air of debonair elegance. One glance from me makes people's hearts flutter, and even when I curse, it makes their knees go weak. Who'd have guessed I'm broke?

Not only am I broke, I also have a tragic background and an unhappy childhood, with a pair of awful, shameless parents.

If this were a leveling-up novel, I think I had all the natural qualifications of a chosen one: I'd suffer through hardships, level up by defeating monsters, and finally reach the pinnacle of life.

If this were a redemption story, my life experiences would certainly make me prone to psychological problems. That's when true love would have to appear, save me, and help me escape this endless sea of suffering.

But life isn't a novel, and you have to rely on yourself. I've never expected someone else to save me. Born in the mire, the only reliable thing is to work hard to save yourself and never give up hope. I know it's incredibly difficult, but nothing can defeat me. I want to crawl out of this filthy swamp, take a bath, and embrace the sunlight, clean and untainted.
