The Beloved Cannon Fodder: Retirement Is Nowhere in Sight

After dying, Xie Nanzhi transmigrates into the body of a cannon-fodder character who shares his name. In the original story, this character ends up dying a gruesome death on the street.

Xie Nanzhi stares at Jiang Yushu, his mind going completely blank. Before he can explain, his older brother, Xie Wendi, walks in. Xie Nanzhi says, “Bro, hear me out. Jiang Yushu, say something!”

To save his own skin, Xie Nanzhi immediately declares that he no longer likes Jiang Yushu.

Planning to use his advantage of knowing the plot to score free food and drink while mooching off the protagonist, he expects to attend the wedding of the protagonist gong, Xiao Chengyi, and the protagonist shou, Jiang Yushu.

But instead, Jiang Yushu tearfully asks him, “Nanzhi, do you really not like me anymore?”

Xiao Chengyi snaps, “Xie Nanzhi! Do you seriously not see how much I like you?”

This is terrifying. Why is the plot nothing like the book? At last, Xie Nanzhi decides to leave the protagonists behind.

But he doesn't know his way around, and after wandering in circles, he somehow ends up in Jingling City. Trying to avoid the protagonists, he accidentally hides in the Holy Son's sedan, only for the Holy Son to take a liking to him.

What surprises him even more is that his original body's mother has a far from ordinary identity. He isn't going to die after all, and all he wants is somewhere to retire in peace.

But then the two countries go to war because the protagonist gong and shou each think the other has imprisoned Xie Nanzhi. Xie Nanzhi can only wonder: Is that really such a flimsy reason to start a war?

P.S. A crowd of admirers, two male leads, one-sided crushes
