We're All Cannon Fodder, So Can't We Enjoy Ourselves?

[Reborn] [Palace and Household Intrigue] [Meme References] [Subverting Expectations] [Slacking Off] [Lighthearted]

[An Arrogant, Self-Admiring, Spoiled Villainous Princess x A Paranoid, Cunning, Ambitious Regent]

Only at the moment of her tragic death did Su Zhaoran learn that such a perfect character as herself was merely cannon fodder in someone else's story. She refused to accept it.

So she was reborn. In her previous life, she had abused her power and done as she pleased, beating up the heir of the Marquis of Zhenbei and kicking the Prime Minister's daughter. She had humiliated the male and female leads in every possible way. In the end, they outmaneuvered her, forcing her into a political marriage, where she lost her hands and feet and died in a sea of flames.

Su, the defy-fate version, Zhaoran: "What male and female leads? They're all little kids compared to me."

And so:

"The heir of the Marquis of Zhenbei insulted this princess. Give him twenty slaps. That is me showing mercy."

"The Prime Minister's daughter is pleading for him? Fine, slap her too. You can share the hardship. I'll grant your wish."

"My imperial brother says I should be more restrained? Which brother? Does Father know about this?"

Then Su Zhaoran turned around and reported him, getting him slapped too.

The triumphant little princess embarked on a life as cannon fodder that she could enjoy to the fullest. What she failed to realize was that she had become prey in someone else's eyes.

Half a year later, the political-marriage plot finally arrived. Su Zhaoran had everything ready and was just waiting to run away, but on the night before the wedding, she was forcibly brought into the Regent's manor. The female lead went in her place to the political marriage.

Su, completely bewildered, already the Regent's Consort, trying to fend off the Regent as he snuggled up to her like a puppy, Zhaoran: "?"

What kind of plot is this? How come she doesn't know about it?
