After the Beloved Son's Bottom Got Fawned Over

Blurb:

--At last, he found the younger brother he had lost for many years,

--in his own bed.

Yaozu, the glory of the family.

The protagonist bottom had everything he could want for most of his life. Though he was a concubine's son, he lived more splendidly than his two older brothers, who were raised under their legal mother's care.

After all, he was the favorite child of his concubine mother.

Whenever he threw a tantrum, his mother would throw one at his father, too, and naturally he got whatever he wanted.

The two of them had this family wrapped around their fingers, leeching off them.

They had everyone completely under their thumb.

--But that was seven years ago.

Then, in a single day, his family was destroyed and his entire household slaughtered.

The arrogant little menace fell into a life of debauchery and spent years drinking and chasing pleasure. By chance, he was sent to perform at the residence of a great general who had recently earned the new emperor's trust.

When the blindfold was removed, the person before him was none other than the older brother who had vanished during the massacre years ago.

The protagonist bottom's head throbbed, and he suddenly awakened.

In a story, there always has to be a protagonist who gains an extraordinary opportunity, suffers hardship early on, and returns triumphant in the end.

--That was his second brother.

And the protagonist is often accompanied by someone who supports him in every way and helps him shine.

--That was his eldest brother.

As for him, he was the stepping stone on the protagonist's path to success, a villainous side character who didn't know when to quit.

The more arrogant he was at the start, the more miserable his end would be.

The protagonist bottom looked at himself kneeling on the stage, then at the protagonists seated above him, and suddenly smiled with amusement.

Those two wretched bastards thought they could step all over him?

Notes:

1. The protagonist bottom is a villain.

2. He's beautiful, disabled, and miserable, and seriously ill.

3. A dark revenge story. This one really does have content warnings.

4. They are not blood-related. The protagonist bottom was adopted.
