Pampering the Cannon Fodder Heiress

High-maintenance x devoted loyalist

Jiang Fengqing has lived two lifetimes and always thought she wanted nothing, until she fished a woman out of the sea. Wet fabric clung to her pearly white skin, outlining her curves.

A bewitching scent drifted on the briny sea breeze, making her head spin. She had to be a seductive sea spirit. How else could Jiang Fengqing think every part of her was beautiful? Even her elbows and knees were rosy and soft.

She felt so light in Jiang Fengqing's arms, sweet and soft, nuzzling against her unconsciously. She'd be even cuter when she woke up.

Jiang Fengqing only meant to give her mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, but when the woman woke and licked her with a rosy tongue, she couldn't help turning the rescue into a deep kiss.

Afterward, Wei Xihua pointed to her bitten lip and demanded that Jiang Fengqing take responsibility.

Jiang Fengqing promised again and again, "I absolutely will."

Everyone in the village knew Jiang Fengqing had rescued a fallen phoenix. She let the phoenix walk all over her every day, driving even a lazy woman like Jiang Fengqing to become the hardest worker in the village.

The chicken soup had to be made from a freshly slaughtered chicken. For fish, she wanted the tender cheek meat, of which there were only two pieces. She would eat only the most tender hearts of the crisp, fresh vegetables. Even silk from the city, worth its weight in gold, was fit only for wiping her delicate, pearly-white feet.

The villagers clucked their tongues. Only a fool like Jiang Fengqing would let her act so spoiled.

They didn't know that at night, this phoenix would climb on top of Jiang Fengqing, who could only bite her lip and stifle her tearful gasps as her thighs were pinched until they rippled.

Wei Xihua was the pampered young lady of an elite family.

Beautiful as a flower, born with pride in her bones, and with delicate fingers that had never touched dust, she was the brightest jewel in the galaxy.

After eighteen years of living freely and flamboyantly, she had only just celebrated her coming-of-age ceremony when a loyal servant hurried her onto the run.

Her mother, a general stationed far away on the border, was falsely accused of treason. The emperor ordered the arrest of every member of the Wei family.

When space pirates attacked, a stray bullet hit her escape pod. When Wei Xihua awoke, she was on a remote, rundown island on a distant planet. It had only one village, where people barely had enough to get by.

The good news was that there were no pursuers. The bad news was that there was nothing there.

After two days without food and with eight of her manicured nails broken, Miss Wei had no choice but to bow to reality. After carefully sizing up her options, she decided to give the village's prettiest and most honest woman the chance to rise to the top overnight.

And so Jiang Fengqing fished her out of the sea, and Wei Xihua stuck to her from then on.

The Wei family was most worried about their delicate youngest daughter, Wei Xihua. They feared she wouldn't have enough to eat or a good place to sleep, and even more that she might meet an untimely end.

After she went missing, they sent people to look for her every day, and searched themselves whenever they had the time.

After more than two years without finding her, they had all but given up hope when they happened to see her on the news.

Without their knowledge, Wei Xihua was not only living well, but had been pampered into a queen by her loyalist.

At first, Jiang Fengqing thought she had transmigrated. It was only after meeting Wei Xihua that she learned she had transmigrated into a book.

The treasure she was so afraid of dropping was a cannon-fodder stepping stone for the heroine's rise to power.

The author may have cast you as cannon fodder, but I'll make sure you live life on your own terms.
