The Little Green Tea Gets Doted on by Daddy

Meng Xueqing, who was used to manipulating people's hearts, transmigrated into a danmei novel.

He was a universally despised character: despite being the pampered young master of the Meng family, he was so obsessed with the Wen family's heir that he acted like a lovesick lapdog, and spent every day picking fights with his older half-brother, the illegitimate son.

That's right, those two were the protagonist gong and shou, while he was a low-level green tea cannon fodder who coveted the protagonist gong.

Meng Xueqing opened his eyes just as the original host's attempt to drive a wedge between them was exposed in front of everyone.

The hall was brightly lit, glasses clinked, and Wen Zong looked at him with scorn and coldly rebuked him. "Is playing these tricks really fun for you?"

Everyone was eager to watch the spectacle, but the Meng family's young master, who had always been devoted to Wen Zong, didn't argue endlessly as usual. Instead, he immediately turned and looped his arm around Meng Jingyun's, eyes glistening with tears as he coquettishly appealed to the illegitimate son he had always looked down on.

"Ge, he's being so mean. He doesn't care about your feelings at all. Let's not play with him, okay?"

Everyone froze.

Everyone: Wait, dude, are you green tea with everybody?

Even after transmigrating, Meng Xueqing didn't change his nature.

He was pampered and couldn't accept the miserable ending in the story. If a few words could make men do things for him, why not?

The same few people moved in these elite circles. No matter how beautiful Meng Xueqing was, his former green-tea, lovesick-lapdog behavior had made everyone in their social circle look down on him.

Until one day, the person who used to follow only behind Wen Zong started smiling at them...

Everyone: Ahem.

With just a few words from Meng Xueqing, his aloof, desireless older brother would tuck him in, and even the ever-hostile Wen Zong began standing up for him. Plenty of men were willing to flatter him just to get a taste of those few sweet words.

Even Qin Xiao, the original story's biggest villain, stopped for him, curious about what could be going through this kid's head for him to be so uninhibited.

Meng Xueqing became the darling of the social scene. Like a butterfly, he would charm one man and then move on to the next, always stopping short of going too far.

He made no promises and gave no true affection.

The men he toyed with and discarded couldn't even bring themselves to complain. They could only keep their jealousy to themselves and compete to show off in front of him like peacocks displaying their feathers, hoping for a single glance.

Meng Xueqing's tricks worked every time, and he gradually lost his sense of restraint, until he got on Qin Xiao's bad side.

That was when he finally hit a brick wall and crashed.

Qin Xiao held immense power. He wouldn't tolerate Meng Xueqing's little tricks for manipulating people's hearts. When he sensed Meng Xueqing was about to fly away again, he caged the butterfly at his side for good, then openly declared to everyone:

"Young Master Meng is very well-behaved. He's crying, so how could he be a green tea?"

In private, Qin Xiao stared deeply at Meng Xueqing's tear-streaked face, never stopping his movements.

"Baby, keep crying."

Meng Xueqing: "Waa..."

As above, the shou is a pampered little darling who can't bear hardship. He manipulates people's hearts but not their feelings. Everyone [emphasis] has a one-sided crush on him; the only mutual relationship is with the gong. The whole story is sweet and satisfying, so there's no risk in getting invested. Hehe.

Theme: Love means devotion to one person.
