Xu Nianmu is a hard-working wage slave at the Space-Time Bureau, toiling away in melodramatic novels.
After getting killed off for the 1,281st time in a scene where the protagonist is tormented in body and soul, Xu Nianmu finally decides:
He's done!
He's done, done, done!!!
What a stupid melodramatic novel!
Every time he finally gets into college, finally passes the civil service exam, finally cultivates to immortality, or finally gets paid, he becomes a stepping stone on the protagonist's path of tragic love and dies for no reason.
So when he opens his eyes once again,
Xu Nianmu, seething with resentment, decides to forget being a cannon fodder, forget the melodramatic novel, forget the tragic love story. To hell with all of it!
But...
[Ding! The Host's darkness value has risen. Cash reward mode is now active. Successfully play a cannon-fodder character to earn five million yuan!]
People don't bow down for a few dou of rice.
But Xu Nianmu will kneel for five million.
World One: The mute stepson whose father died in a younger wife novel
This is a younger wife novel.
But as cannon fodder, Xu Nianmu is neither the stepson involved in explicit scenes with the younger wife, nor the younger wife herself.
Instead, he's the mute stepson serving as a camera, watching as the younger wife has sex with all kinds of bigwigs at his father's funeral... (smile)
In the original story,
he has to watch his once beautiful and virtuous younger stepmother suddenly change her ways after his father's death, flirting with all sorts of people.
In the end, his inheritance is stolen, and overnight he goes from being a young master to a homeless man, dying without a proper burial.
But now,
Xu Nianmu looks at the "younger stepmother" in front of him, whose gender is already wrong, and his brain freezes.
Can a man be a... younger stepmother?
The "younger stepmother" whose secret he has discovered doesn't seem to care. He looks Xu Nianmu up and down with cold eyes and makes a casual threat:
"You won't tell anyone, will you?"
Xu Nianmu nods blankly.
He's mute. Even if he wanted to tell, he couldn't.
But from that day on, Xu Nianmu can't sleep well at night.
"Baby, why won't you call me 'Mommy'? Do you hate me?"
"You're crying so hard, and still can't make a sound?"
"Baby..."
"..."
The strange words and jumbled, bizarre fragments leave Xu Nianmu feeling dazed.
Then his father suddenly dies.
At the funeral, the awful scenes from the original story, where Ning Xiuci slept with all kinds of bigwigs, don't happen.
All that happens is that the other people look at Xu Nianmu strangely.
After the funeral, Xu Nianmu gets a message from a friend asking who he was signing to.
There hadn't been anyone beside him.
Xu Nianmu stares at the message in confusion, then looks at Ning Xiuci, still aloof and breathtakingly beautiful in the distance.
That night,
Xu Nianmu wakes from his sleep for the first time.
Ning Xiuci bends down and affectionately brushes his lips against Xu Nianmu's. "Baby, now you belong to me completely..."
No one knows.
Ning Xiuci had died the moment he first saw Xu Nianmu.
He died in a car crash orchestrated by Xu's father...
A father's debts are repaid by his son.
