After the Cannon Fodder at the Aristocratic Academy Takes the Male Lead's Place in the Story

Meng Ran is an inconspicuous beta at an elite academy. One day, after awakening, he discovers that he's a cannon-fodder character who dies at the very beginning of the novel, drowning for reasons unknown.

To stay alive, he does everything he can to avoid his destined death and succeeds.

But he never expected the protagonist's love interest to take his place and die in the swimming pool.

Perhaps Meng Ran's attempt to evade his death causes a bug in the world. The protagonist's love interest dies because of him, and without that character, the world has to choose a new one. So he is forced to follow the love interest's storyline.

That includes catfishing the heirs of the four top families online, pretending to be a female omega, and constantly sending them cute photos to tempt and string them along.

Thinking about how the protagonist's love interest gets exposed and caught in the novel, Meng Ran is horrified.

But he has no choice. Whenever he tries to avoid the plot, he's inexplicably electrocuted. The pain forces him to put on a little dress, take pictures, and send them to everyone, all while crying his eyes out.

Recently, Meng Ran has noticed that his skin is getting paler. He doesn't even need to apply body cream to make himself look fair in photos anymore.

His ordinary features are also becoming more refined. He looks so striking that he can barely believe the person in the mirror is him.

Midway through the story.

Meng Ran never expected all of them to suggest meeting in person at once. Why was something that only happened near the end of the plot happening now?

He bites his nails, on the verge of tears.
