The Pretty Cannon Fodder Is Still Trying to Stir Up Trouble Today

Only after Tan Ning died did he learn that he was a vicious side character in a novel about forcing straight men to turn gay and fall in love. He wouldn't survive three chapters. His older brother was the "straight man" all those men coveted and wanted to force into being gay.

His sole purpose was to be a rotten, troublesome idiot, making his brother's patience and resilience shine by comparison, and to serve as a stepping stone for the male leads to get closer to his brother.

The year their parents died in a car accident, Tan Ning was eight and his brother, Tan Min, was thirteen. Their relatives divided up the inheritance and stole their bankbooks, leaving the two brothers with nothing but an empty old house.

With no choice, Tan Min dropped out of school to raise him. He hauled goods by day and made deliveries at night, trying to split himself into eight just to get by. Every penny he earned went toward Tan Ning's meals, clothes, and endless debts.

Tan Ning knew his brother was struggling, but he also knew he was beautiful. So beautiful that all he had to do was smile, and people would put money, cards, and keys into his hands.

He was hopeless, growing more crooked with every year. He was snobbish and showy, using his pretty face to flirt with men everywhere. He'd date eight at once, scam them for money, gamble, and run off, leaving his brother to clean up every mess.

Tan Min took punches for him, knelt before creditors, and paid off debts until he was ruined.

Then one day, several impeccably dressed men showed up with an IOU for eight million.

Tan Min sat on the sofa, staring at their family photo all night. The next day, he sold himself to them and begged them to spare his little brother.

Tan Ning, the one who was spared, got into a car accident just like his parents while fleeing, and died.

Only after death did he see it: every one of the men who had once been so attentive to him was now red-eyed and panting, pinning his brother beneath them.

Floating in midair, Tan Ning was so furious he nearly lost his soul.

When he opened his eyes again, he had been reborn.

Tan Min had just come home from work. His youthful face was tired, but the moment he saw Tan Ning, he smiled out of habit.

"Tan Ning, I brought you some cake."

Tan Ning looked at the bag of little egg cakes. He still wanted the exquisite little cakes from the display case.

So even after starting over, Tan Ning was still a dog who couldn't change his ways.

This time, though, he would personally destroy every man who coveted his brother before they could get to him.

Tan Ning's plan sounded perfect.

But this time around, Tan Min wasn't going to indulge him.

He returned the luxury watch from Tan Ning's wrist, put an end to his late-night card games, and dragged him straight home from a dinner party, scolding him in the entryway. Tan Min pinned him against the wall, his voice low. "Tan Ning, if you go out dressed like that again, I'll lock you in the house."

Tan Ning bit into an egg cake and stared in bewilderment. Since when had his brother gotten so fierce?

Later, Tan Min caught Tan Ning at a hotel.

He pressed him into the bed. Tan Ning clutched the sheets, crying until his voice broke. Tan Min bent down to kiss the back of his neck, his breath frighteningly hot. "Don't you like going out dressed like that? Don't you like flirting with men?"

Tan Ning finally panicked, his voice hoarse as he cried, "B-Brother... I'm your younger brother, not your wife!"

Tan Min paused for an instant, then leaned down and bit his earlobe, laughing softly. "I know."

"If they can do it..."

"Why can't I?"

Note: In every life, Tan Ning is a pretty idiot, too stupid to realize it! They're not related by blood. Both are virgins!
