Beauty's Comeuppance

Jialan is a rose spirit. The entire cultivation world agrees that if the Creator grants ten parts of favor to all people, seven of them go to Jialan. Countless gods, demons, spirits, and ghosts would gladly die just to glimpse his true face.

They all say Jialan is a heartless beauty. After he seduces countless people favored by fate, the Heavenly Dao finally punishes him, sealing his cultivation and condemning him to a tribulation of love in this life, where he will suffer the retribution of having his feelings trampled forever.

Jialan only says, "Oh. But I didn't do anything."

The Heavenly Dao looks at the innocent, pure beauty, untouched by worldly trappings. "You only have to stand there for people to go crazy over you. That's the sin."

A wealthy man goes to an orphanage to take his biological son home, so he assumes the boy's identity and returns to the rich man's house. But he has nothing going for him besides his looks. The wealthy man gives up on cultivating him and instead trains him to be a social butterfly. He goes around attracting men and falls for someone, unaware that the man only sees him as a plaything. In the end, he is abandoned and dies.

Following the Heavenly Dao's instructions, Jialan moves among the powerful, showing off his stupidity and malice and occasionally picking on the wealthy man's biological son.

But the rich man's biological son, who should hate Jialan, only curls up at his feet, begging him for a glance. The powerful men who should see Jialan as a plaything fight among themselves, desperate to offer him everything they have.

Even his adoptive father, who looks down on him, strokes his cheek and says hoarsely, "Jialan, will you be my lover?"

Please note:

1. Everyone is captivated by the protagonist. All gong characters are virgins.

2. There is no original host in the literal sense.

"The Cannon Fodder Who Covets the Protagonist Shou of an Erotic Novel"

I envy my older brother.

He is a gentle, untouchable male idol, the center of the world, always ranked first, while I stand in his halo, coveting everything that makes him shine.

I slander him. I chase after him. And he never even gives me a proper look.

Then the System tells me I'm a supporting character in a novel, while my brother is the protagonist shou of an erotic, everyone-loves-him danmei novel. He'll be ruined, chained up, and made the plaything of many people.

The System says that if I seduce my brother's "gong" characters and raise my brother's heartbreak score, I can hypnotize and change anything I don't like.

...If all kinds of men can have him, why can't I?

A seemingly timid, actually scheming, obsessive fool x a seemingly kind, actually black-bellied, controlling, max-level-scheming, fatherly tea-master, 1v1, happy ending. The younger brother is shou. No blood relation; blended family, and they are not registered under the same household.

Told in third person.

Theme: Face adversity without fear and rise to the challenge
