    Looking for any story (fanfictions, novels, web novels, light novels, etc.) where a Manipulative/Guile/Cunning MC who plays brats/thugs/bullies/bigots/lowlifes/jerkasses and other enemies like a fiddle without mind control.

    Story can be any setting and MC can be of any age.

    Thank you

    The first one that came to mind was Dreamer in the Spring Boudoir...but it has a lot of angst.

    Spring Banquet is another one by the same author, but you have to MTL it.

    Right now I'm reading a danmei called Back to the Beginning of the Ming Dynasty. You might like that. There's very little romance, it won't happen till the end. That's what I heard, anyways.

    Not sure if you’re cool with BL, so I won’t give recs but you can search NU using the “manipulative characters” tag to find novels on here with that concept. I think “Cunning Protagonist” might also work and be slightly more specific to the MC
