Can a Pathetic Little Beauty Be Everyone's Darling?

The commissioned cover art is being worked on, almost done. Come meet this beautiful baby~

Ruan Zhao is pretty, obedient, and soft and delicate.

He easily attracts perverts.

Fortunately, he plays a minor character, a sidekick, or a neglected spouse...

Yet the arrogant young masters who call him dull and cowardly still go crazy for him, chasing after the crumpled flower.

That once-humble beauty.

World One: The Sidekick and Campus Belle at an Elite Boys' School

[People call you the commoner campus belle. You covet the rich and hope to turn your life around.]

Everyone knows the campus belle has a crush on F1, but the System tells him that not only is he in love with F1, he's also secretly crushing on F2, F3, and F4.

Forced to juggle all four, Ruan Zhao is their little sidekick in public, but privately calls them all "big brother" and sweet-talks them into showering him with money.

One day, Zhao Zhao sends a practiced mass message: "I miss you big brothers so much tonight~"

A few seconds later, his phone lights up nonstop.

["F1, F2, F3, and F4" have joined the group chat]

Ruan Zhao's eyes roll back.

Oh no, he accidentally made a group chat because his finger slipped.

The next moment, all four men show up at his door, smiling ominously:

"Zhao Zhao, explain this."

"Just how many big brothers do you have?"

World Two: The Neglected, Sickly Wife (Divorced)

[Your husband often neglects you. You suffer from skin hunger, so every day is agony.]

Ruan Zhao leans close with his soft, timid body, rubbing against him like a kitten. "Hubby, stay with me tonight. I'll do anything you want."

He begs for affection, but his husband turns and walks away.

His adopted son, who has long had his eye on Ruan Zhao, sees the whole thing. After the husband disappears, he treats Ruan Zhao like an inheritance and keeps him locked away in the house, leaving him weak-kneed night after night.

"How did you beg him that night? Let me hear you say it, hmm?"

Before long, his husband comes back.

World Three: The Poor Darling Forced into a Marriage Alliance

[You're a pawn sacrificed by your wealthy family. The family is on the brink of ruin, and marriage is your only way out.]

Ruan Zhao is forced to suck up to the young heir of a wealthy family, speaking sweetly and trying everything he can, but the other man remains unmoved.

Ruan Zhao: "Please, can't you call off the engagement?"

The heir looks down at him. "Do they know you're here acting like my dog?"

Ruan Zhao nods dazedly, takes the breakup money, and leaves in style. But the arrogant young masters from his past crowd around him:

"Poor thing, come with me. I'll save you and your family."

"Choose me! You'll have everything you want."

"No, choose me! I'm the most loyal dog."

The young masters throw themselves at him, leaving Ruan Zhao flustered. And why has that aloof young heir gotten down on his knees too?

"Come back... This time, I'll be your dog."

World Four: The Lowly Manservant

[You're a servant on a noble estate, responsible for the young master's daily needs. When your feelings are exposed, he sneers that you're beneath him.]

Ruan Zhao lowers his head. "Young master, A Zhao wouldn't dare presume."

The young master clenches his fists and sneers. "You'd better not."

He quietly backs away, only to attract the attention of other young masters who won't leave him alone.

In the middle of the night, Ruan Zhao can't help but swat at someone with a soft little palm, only for them to catch his slender, pale wrist.

"You're so strong, baby. Come on, hit me here and show me what you can do."

When the young master sees other people fighting over his personal little manservant, he loses control.

"Who said you could touch him?! He's mine!"

[Pretty, sweet, shy, and fickle heartthrob x assorted arrogant young masters who eventually fall hard]

Other worlds to be decided.

Reading guide:

1. The gorgeous baby is unquestionably the center of attention. He's slow to catch on romantically but fickle, fully immerses himself in every role, and changes personality to suit the character. Cat-like and doe-eyed, he's got it all, and he's irresistible.

2. Everyone is pure. Some worlds have multiple partners, others are strictly one-on-one. Follow your heart.

3. The synopsis is written in-character. In reality, he isn't humble and doesn't care.

4. Contains sickness, cross-dressing, captivity, pregnancy, male rivalry and romantic clashes, and more. The melodrama is cheesy, half dark and half light. Don't read if it's not your thing.
