The Royal Family's Cannon Fodder Heard My Thoughts and Went on a Rampage, While I Reaped the Rewards

[Everyone’s Darling + Mind Reading + Unexpected Contrasts] Nan Yinyin transmigrates into a book.

She becomes the cannon-fodder daughter of the ill-fated second female lead, who was banished to the cold palace.

She arrives in the latter half of the story. Her mother, once a favored consort, was banished to the cold palace for the male lead’s sake, and the little cannon-fodder daughter is soon to be killed by the tyrannical emperor.

[You tyrant, have you forgotten that brief night at Xieshui Pavilion? I’m your biological daughter!]

And just like that, she survives. The cold-blooded tyrant, who kills without blinking, even turns into a doting dad, reading parenting manuals night after night.

[Mother, that scumbag is just using you! Poor you, starving so badly you’ve had to eat leaves, while he wants to kill not only your daughter but you, too!]

And just like that, her frail mother, who could barely take care of herself, leaves the cold palace, reclaims her position as empress, and becomes the most powerful woman in the realm.

[Hey, you beauty, are you stupid? Sure, the tyrant doesn’t love you, but you get a hundred taels of silver every month! And yet you’re going to throw your life away over one sweet promise from that scumbag male lead!]

...In the book, the entire imperial family is either cannon fodder or a pawn used by the male lead.

Even Nan Yinyin and her mother meet tragic ends. Nan Yinyin keeps her head down and grows stronger alongside her mother, but as they do, the cannon-fodder characters who were supposed to die horribly go on a rampage. She becomes everyone’s darling and the most revered First Princess.
