If you're interested, sweet little angels, please add it to your collection~~(*^▽^*) * Tao Mu grew up in an orphanage and suffered countless hardships. He never imagined that his life had been following the wrong script all along. Eighteen years ago, two babies were born on the same day, but a hospital worker's mistake switched their name tags. Tao Mu, who should have been born into a wealthy family, was sent to an orphanage. Eighteen years later, the mistake came to light. Tao Mu thought everything could finally return to normal. But the parents and older brother who should have been family thought he was too scheming. His lover and friends all fell for someone else. Devastated, Tao Mu turned completely evil, becoming a hated villainous cannon fodder. Abandoned by everyone, he jumped to his death. Reborn, Tao Mu was stunned to discover he was living in a book. The male lead was the other child who had been switched at birth, a naive sweetheart. Tao Mu was nothing more than the villainous cannon fodder in that sweetheart's doting romance. Tao Mu: To hell with the plot, to hell with the tropes. I'm done playing along this time! In short, this is a melodramatic story about a cannon fodder who, after being devastated, is reborn and stops compromising to please anyone. He sets out to build his own entertainment empire and make himself a star. A friendly warning: 1. This is a fictional parallel universe. 2. The male lead gets all the indulgent wish fulfillment, and there will be plenty of melodrama, melodrama, melodrama. Important things must be said three times. 3. There may be a little angst for flavor. The brief angst is there to make the wish fulfillment even sweeter _(:з"∠)_ 4. As always, expect satisfying drama, not logic or intelligence. 5. This is neither a business-war novel nor a realistic story. Every plot point is here to serve the male lead's wish fulfillment, mwah. 6. The author is letting loose and really isn't trying to act like a decent person anymore. This is extremely melodramatic, consider yourself warned again. The new story The Cannon Fodder Top Who Had His Golden Finger Stolen Is Reborn is now underway. If you're interested, sweet little angels, please add it to your collection _(:з"∠)_ The genius restorer Gu Jiuque died on the same day Bai Yuesheng married someone else. Everyone knew Bai Yuesheng had a childhood friend who was disfigured, paralyzed, and unable to speak. To pay for his treatment, Bai Yuesheng worked part-time and pursued business ventures from his university days onward. His innocent, kind, persistent, hardworking nature and sharp business instincts won him countless admirers. They also made Gu Jiuque the thorn in those admirers' sides. They all thought Gu Jiuque was a burden on Bai Yuesheng, clinging to him because he knew Bai Yuesheng was too softhearted and kind to push him away. No one knew Gu Jiuque had ended up like this saving Bai Yuesheng. Nor did they know that Bai Yuesheng's talent for appraising antiques and his astonishing luck came from the Gu family's heirloom and Gu Jiuque's guidance. The admirers tried every means they could think of to target Gu Jiuque and get rid of that thorn in their sides. At last, on the day Bai Yuesheng got married, they made sure Gu Jiuque died a horrible death in a fire. After death, he awakened to the truth and was stunned to find he was living in a book. The male lead was Bai Yuesheng, while Gu Jiuque was merely a cannon-fodder supporting character who had fallen victim to the halo of a heartthrob. Everything he'd gone through was meant to enhance Bai Yuesheng's halo. When he opened his eyes again, Gu Jiuque had returned to ten years earlier. The Gu family manor had not yet been reduced to ashes in a fire. He had not lost his legs or been disfigured while saving Bai Yuesheng from the flames, and his parents had not died in a car accident on the way to the hospital after taking him there. Everything could start over. Watching Bai Yuesheng shyly confess his feelings while hinting that he wanted a look at the Gu family's heirloom, Gu Jiuque smiled. This time, he would not be anyone's stepping stone. With the heirloom in hand, Gu Jiuque would protect his family and restore the family business. And he would show no mercy to a single one of the people who had schemed to kill his entire family. * After living his life over, Gu Jiuque was already prepared to fight his enemies to the death. But he never expected that the person who had caused his death in his previous life would wag his tail and beg for his attention in this one, all because of his looks. What a joke! A certain large beast who has nothing better to do than "wag its tail and beg" in front of its own treasure: Exactly! ↓ At first, Shen Heng only thought that the young gentleman he ran into on Antique Street was handsome, stylish, and had a good eye. After buying antiques, he often asked him to take a look. Later, he learned that the young gentleman could also restore cultural relics, so he handed over a pile of "junk" he'd collected at home for him to repair. Later still, Shen Heng grew annoyed by the cats and dogs surrounding Gu Jiuque, feeling that they were coveting his treasure. So one man's tail curled around him as he glared menacingly: I dare anyone to covet my treasure! Theme:
