Transmigrated Into the Male Lead's Cannon Fodder Older Sister

[Upcoming story: The Farmer's Family Has a Sweetheart, a farming story. Please add it to your favorites!]

Yan Lingsu transmigrated into a male-lead-centric novel and became the male lead's biological older sister.

Not only was her background tragic, she died in the end.

Her death spurred the male lead to work hard. She was the catalyst that turned the ill-fated, illegitimate son into a great general.

In short, she was cannon fodder.

Yan Lingsu wasn't having it. If she followed the plot, she'd die for sure, and in a particularly horrible way.

So, without affecting the main storyline, she racked her brains to keep herself alive as long as possible. As long as she could hold on until her younger brother returned victorious, she could move out of the Yan residence and live freely.

With that goal in mind, Yan Lingsu began her arduous path of quietly competing for favor and raising her little brother... But as she raised him, a pitiful little thing suddenly appeared at his side, constantly thinking about the sweet apricots she pickled for her brother... and the woman who pickled them for him...

Outside the training grounds:

Her younger brother said smugly, "My sister's pickled sweet apricots are delicious, right?"

The pitiful little thing's eyes lit up. "They're amazing! Can I come to your house and eat some tomorrow?"

What the pitiful little thing was really thinking: How can I take the person who pickles these apricots home with me?

The heroine has the script but still gets played vs. the sweet-on-the-outside, ruthless male lead who never lets go once he's set his sights on someone

Note:

1. The heroine has no golden finger. This isn't a wish-fulfillment story; it's a slow-paced story about everyday life. If that's not your thing, don't read it.

2. One-on-one, both leads are each other's first, and updates are daily. I'll take time off if something comes up.

3. This story is set in an imaginary world, so please don't nitpick the history.

P.S. I write and read just for fun. Hope you enjoy life.

Blurb:

There are scumbags who don't even realize they're scumbags. Not only are they awful, they also have the male lead's halo, so they're forgiven for everything they do. Lin Lu is the heroine of an angsty novel, abused by these scumbags and still forgiving them, loving them in a pitiful, deluded way and losing herself in the process.

One day, she breaks free of the angsty novel System's control. At last, it's her turn to take revenge, punish the scumbags, and tear apart the white lotus, wicked, and scheming female rivals!

Tips: One-on-one. The heroine's golden finger is set to maximum. The story focuses on feel-good wish fulfillment, and the male lead is the same person from beginning to end.

Blurb:

Yin Jiaojiao transmigrates into an imperial-examination novel and becomes the long-suffering child bride who supports the male lead's studies, only to lose her life to a bout of chills just as he passes the highest-level exam.

Looking at the male lead, Shu Yiming, whose face is as pale as paper and who seems ready to break at a touch, Jiaojiao furrows her brows.

Since she's already transmigrated here, she can't let this turn into a bad deal. First she'll keep the male lead alive, mainly so she can live to a ripe old age herself. Then she'll find a way to support him through the imperial exams. Once he makes it big, she'll get back everything she invested, with interest, and leave him to live her own quiet life.

With this goal in mind, Yin Jiaojiao throws herself into her work. Then one day, Shu Yiming holds up her little account book and asks, "What do you mean, buying a house and moving out of the Shu family's home?"

Yin Jiaojiao chooses her words carefully. "Once you become an important person, I won't be good enough for you. I'll leave on my own then, and I won't..."

Before she can finish, Shu Yiming corners her against the wall.

"Who says you aren't good enough for me?" The usually cold and distant young man suddenly turns red-eyed and grits his teeth as he threatens her. "Just try leaving!"

Yin Jiaojiao: "???"

The cold and ruthless minister Shu Yiming is reborn, returning to the age of eleven, when he nearly starved to death. Before he can even catch his breath, a soft voice draws his attention.

Looking at the frail Jiaojiao, who is braving a blizzard to go into the mountains and find medicine for him, Lord Shu's heart, cold for two lifetimes, melts.

The heroine works the land, builds wealth, and supports her husband, only for him to dote on her in return vs. the sickly male lead, reborn and determined to spoil her rotten

In short: A farmer girl's glorious rise to become a first-rank lady!

Tips: One-on-one, both leads are each other's first. The heroine's golden finger is set to maximum. A slow-paced story about everyday life, with lots and lots of doting. It's set in an imaginary world, so don't nitpick the history!
