Synopsis

[The first print volume is now available]

[Sweet Romance in a Wealthy Family] + [A Forbidden Love Falls from Its Pedestal] + [Characters Awaken] + [A Chaotic Love Rival Showdown]

“You are a cannon-fodder character in this world. Your character tags are: beautiful, vicious, and stupid. When you were eight, you were adopted by the Shen family, the most powerful family in Whale Harbor. The head of the family treasured you like a gem, but you joined forces with your villainous mother to scheme against the Shen family. Obsessed with the male lead, you used underhanded methods to become the Shen family’s young madam, but he didn’t love you. In a desperate attempt to win back his heart, you kept finding new ways to get yourself killed. In the end, the male lead drove you out of the Shen family, your villainous mother abandoned you, and you jumped into the river and drowned...”

As a cannon-fodder character who had suddenly awakened to self-awareness, Jiang Huashan had this to say: “There’s no way I’m following this plot.”

When faced with a difficult situation, all you have to do is look down on it and kill it! So, given another chance, she closed off her heart, formed the “Cannon-Fodder Alliance,” and joined forces with all the other cannon fodder characters to turn the plot completely upside down.

At her twentieth birthday banquet, Jiang Huashan looked so beautiful beneath the spotlight that she seemed almost unreal.

“Miss Jiang, you still haven’t been added to the Shen family genealogy. Does the old master have other plans? I hear you grew up with the young masters and are quite close. Which one do you prefer?”

Jiang Huashan smiled gracefully. “Grandpa will make his own arrangements about adding me to the family. Rumors stop with the wise, and I’m not very close to those Shen family... brothers of mine~”

That night, black hair spilled across a rose-colored lace pillow, while a hot, ambiguous atmosphere drifted through the darkness.

The man gently touched the young woman’s kiss-swollen lips, his voice husky. “How are we not close?”

This is a book that truly awakens female consciousness. Every girl may have flaws, but they all overcome them with strength. I especially love Sui'er and Hua Shan. The scene where Hua Shan carries Sui'er out of the rain-soaked forest deeply moved me with the camaraderie between the girls. Never look down, always look up.

It's very interesting. The Best Actor award goes to Shen Zhuang, who is the grandfather. No matter what happens, he always stands by Hua Shan's side. In the previous life, Hua Shan was manipulated by the plot. The grandfather also tried his best to teach Hua Shan to walk the right path, but he failed. Fortunately, Hua Shan awakened for the sake of the grandfather. Don't you think the grandfather is more remarkable than the male lead in the drama?

The phrase "Suier, looking down on him" is truly resounding! Keep reading, everyone! This novel is exceptionally well-written. It shows how difficult it is for the characters to break free from fixed labels, and how courageous they must be to transcend their own self-imposed limitations! From flat, two-dimensional characters to fully fleshed-out, flesh-and-blood selves! It's so well-written!

This authentic portrait of a super teenager It encompasses love, family, friendship, and national sentiment, offering choices between family and personal interests, and boasts a very broad worldview. And it truly embodies the spirit of "girls help girls," gradually allowing female power to permeate society.

It's a good story, but I can't bring myself to ship the female lead and the bull (🐢). It feels so inexplicable. The forced kiss in chapter 300+ was a bit uncomfortable, because even though Xiao Hua knows everything, she probably hasn't fallen for the bull yet. Then this forced kiss and the dark, manipulative way she tries to force herself on the female lead is really hard to accept. 😢

There are no comparable novels, so why is it still so popular while being updated? It's simply because it's good; people are willing to wait, and it's always been on their bookshelves. Every character is a player in the game, and everyone is part of the game. Each character in the book has their own little drama, the background against which their personality is formed.

Each character has their own thoughts and traits. There are those in power who have familial affection without any ulterior motives, villains who abuse others purely and without reason, disregarding the law and human life, and cannon fodder girls who struggle, awaken, and shine with resilience.

Advantages: 1. Excellent character development; each character is multifaceted, with their own story and unique perspective. 2. The female lead is eccentric, but not mindless; her eccentricities are purposeful, intelligent, and strategic. The overall style is quite witty. 3.

I really love Shen Qingyu. His growth trajectory is crystal clear, as are his pride and talent. He's intelligent without being gloomy, sunny without being cold-blooded. He has the respect due to the female lead, knows right from wrong, and dares not overstep boundaries. He's kind to everyone and has a strong sense of right and wrong.

In this genre, I currently consider it the absolute top one: Rebirth? + Ensemble Cast + Female-Oriented + Salvation + Growth Flow + Shura Field (not yet). Rather than a rebirth story, I'd say it's more like a story of destruction before construction, where the protagonist constantly breaks the rules of the book to create a world that belongs to "us."
