The Cannon Fodder Turns Her Fate Around with Beast Speech, and the Regent Bows to Her

(Groveling after the breakup + the untouchable paragon brought down from his pedestal + the heroine’s growth + rivalry for reasons other than a man, because what man is better than a career?)

Yan Wu transmigrates into a novel about a universally adored heroine as a doomed supporting character, condemned to drink poison from the start for being a monster.

To survive, she throws herself into the game and helps Xie Xun, the cold-faced second male lead, investigate a series of cases.

She has a golden finger that lets her understand animals. Sparrows deliver messages for her, spiders serve as her surveillance cameras, and even crows become her enforcers.

All she wanted was to live a good life in this world, fight her stepmother, and solve strange cases. At first, she only hoped to secure a corner of peace for herself, but circumstances kept pushing her higher and higher.

She also knows that she alone can truly be her own support!

Xie Xun has been disciplined and courteous since childhood, with impeccable character and looks. He is a respected family patriarch, and everyone says he is upright, incorruptible, and above the mundane world.

At first, he considers Yan Wu nothing but a frivolous beauty, disliking and despising her, never truly trusting her.

Later, he tells himself that Yan Wu is useful to him, and nothing more.

Later still, he watches himself fall, fully aware of it, and become hopelessly entangled.

But she no longer wants him.

When she returns, she has become untouchable. Only then do the others see what it looks like when a saintly man goes mad.

In the high-walled compound, he kneels at Yan Wu’s feet, begging for even the smallest bit of her affection.
