After the Pretty Cannon Fodder Awakened, She Drove All the Powerful Men Mad

[Sweet on the surface, dark underneath, and irresistible + 1vN, all male leads are pure + a battleground of powerful families + a background character awakens + flirtatious + selfish and self-serving]

Three hours before Shen Zhiyu was shoved into a kidnapper's sack, she'd just finished signing the layoff list.

The instant the kidnappers shouted, "We've got the wrong person. She's worthless," she awakened to the truth:

She was a background character in a novel, not even worthy of a line, born to serve as a stepping stone for the protagonists.

She coaxed the kidnappers into starting a video call, then appeared on camera with tears on her face. "Mr. Ling, they took me as a stand-in. I don't want to die..."

The man, who'd been about to hang up, stopped spinning his lighter. "You cry beautifully. You're worth saving."

She smiled bitterly. So this world really was all about looks.

From then on, she played the prey and lured the hunters into her trap.

She acted sweet and innocent, charming gloomy villains, yandere power players, and obsessive CEOs until they all revolved around her. She spent their fortunes lavishly and climbed higher by siphoning the protagonists' luck.

Even on the day those favored children of heaven were abandoned, they still didn't realize:

They were all stepping stones for her.

But she's just an honest person, not a bad woman.
