The Face-Blind Cannon Fodder's Collection of Beautiful Men Backfires

Pei Xianqing transmigrates into a book as the cannon-fodder adopted younger brother of the male lead, and he brings his face blindness with him.

Given a new life, he sticks with his old major, painting, and decides to indulge his collecting habit. From the handsome heartthrob of A University to the top athlete in the sports department and the aloof beauty of the finance department, he gets them all to model for him.

There's just one rule: stay away from the main characters and don't get caught up in their drama.

So when he learns that his favorite nude model, Jiang Yubai, the aloof beauty of the finance department, is the main character's love interest, who'll have to inherit a fortune worth hundreds of billions if he doesn't work hard...

He immediately kicks him off the model list.

Jiang Yubai is strikingly handsome. A few blurry side-profile shots taken without his knowledge have drawn an endless crowd to the campus confession wall, and a fair number of posts come from classmates who've been rejected, lamenting:

"He's an aloof beauty. He doesn't date."

Jiang Yubai has often heard Pei Shuo talk about his adopted younger brother, saying Pei Xianqing is wonderful in every way.

At first, he doesn't think much of it. He just sees Pei Xianqing as a doddering vine clinging to Pei Shuo, fragile and unable to fend for himself.

Then, by a twist of fate, he becomes a model for Pei Xianqing's paintings. The gloomy boy rolls up his sleeves, revealing a wrist as smooth as jade, then sweeps his fringe back and ties his hair in a half-up style. After taking off his glasses, he gazes at Jiang Yubai with clear, misty-blue eyes and says seriously:

"Please take your pants off too."

Jiang Yubai: .

What a wild little vine.

Whenever Pei Xianqing looks up from his painting, there's a hint of feverish intensity in his eyes, and Jiang Yubai takes it to heart.

Until Pei Xianqing blocks him without a word.

Until he pretends to run into him and sees Pei Xianqing stop a stranger who has just finished playing basketball to ask if he'd be willing to model.

Only then does Jiang Yubai realize there's nothing special about him.

He should have walked away. But the dark-skinned young man holding a basketball blushes and stammers out that he'd be happy to model.

At last, Jiang Yubai can't keep up his cool facade. He drags Pei Xianqing away and demands, eyes red, to know why he's moved on so quickly. All he gets is a cool, confused look.

"You... who are you?"

Once he puts his clothes back on, Pei Xianqing doesn't recognize him.

-

Pei Xianqing's gaze never lingers on anyone. Only when it falls on a painting does he look truly focused.

Everyone who loves him knows this all too well.

Later, Jiang Yubai clutches Pei Xianqing's painting hand and refuses to let go. Paint drips onto his naked skin, splashing into a wild, intense love.

In stark contrast, he begs in a soft, humble voice:

"Let me be your canvas, Pei Xianqing. Please, look only at me."
