The Cannon Fodder Is Always Forced to Become the Group's Favorite

Yun You wakes up to find himself in an entertainment-industry novel, as a trainee competing in a talent show. The trainee is a textbook cannon-fodder character, hated by everyone. His social skills are terrible, and he offends Qi Caifan, the universally adored protagonist. The other contestants gang up on him, while netizens mock him mercilessly. Once the show ends, he's just waiting to be written out. Yun You smiles faintly, completely unruffled. "Well, that's unfortunate. I hate getting written out." Before the show airs, the gossipmongers wait for a spectacle. "Getting eliminated was a foregone conclusion, but it's a shame we won't have anyone to mock afterward~" As the show airs, everyone's jaws drop and their glasses shatter. "What the hell? Is that glowing boy onstage really the universally hated Yun You!?" After the show airs, #YunYou TreasureBoy charges straight to the top of the trending list. He can sing and dance, he's gorgeous, hardworking, gentle, and sweet. Can an idol this perfect really exist? A huge crowd of former haters turns into fans and floods him with support. "I feel so bad for our baby, getting targeted by the other contestants like that! Spoil him! Spoil him rotten!" The other contestants look disgusted. "What? Are you seriously saying Yun You, who picks fights with everyone, has a good personality!?" Before long, all the contestants are shouting, "Baby, roast me again!" The gossipmongers: [old man staring at phone.jpg] Do you contestants even remember how you ganged up on him just a few months ago?! #Did I get the wrong script, or have they lost their minds?# #How did a cannon-fodder character who was supposed to last ten chapters suddenly become everyone's darling?# #Please stop throwing all these opportunities at me. I'm flying all over the world and I'm going to collapse from exhaustion# Rumor has it Yun You and Ling Xiaoxing were paired up by the show for publicity, playing up their CP and putting on a show together. But they had long been at odds over who would debut as the center, and planned to go their separate ways as soon as the show ended. During a livestream, Yun You said to Ling Xiaoxing with a sigh of relief, "At last, we don't have to pretend to be a couple anymore." The CP fans immediately fell apart. "We knew shipping them in earnest would come back to bite us!" The camera suddenly turned to Ling Xiaoxing, who curled his lips into a smile. "Yeah, now we can finally make it official." Both fanbases: "???" The CP fans went wild with joy. "Holy crap, I actually got to see my ship become real in my lifetime!?" Reader's guide: 1. The bottom (Yun You) dishes out more comebacks in direct proportion to how much he's doted on × The top (Ling Xiaoxing), a show-off at first who later becomes a loyal puppy. 2. One-on-one pairing. The bottom is doted on by all sorts of people. 3. Weibo: @-Fanshuangli-. Hope you enjoy the story, mwah~ ---Here are two of my upcoming stories and my friend's goofy entertainment-industry novel. Take your pick!--- Next up: "I'm Done Being a Saint," please add it to your favorites! Xi Huai is famous as a refined young gentleman, with an impeccable temper and a gentleness so considerate it's practically without principles. As a boy, he rescued Yi Chongshuang, who was living on the streets, and provided him with food and clothes. They grew up together like childhood sweethearts. Then, due to a mistake by Yi Chongshuang, Xi Huai's younger sister and father both died in an accident. Though devastated, Xi Huai ultimately "magnanimously" forgave Yi Chongshuang. But only after he died did he learn that he was just a saintly cannon-fodder character in a novel about a peerless hero. He'd treated Yi Chongshuang as a dear friend and confidant, while Yi Chongshuang had only approached him to carry out his revenge plan. Even the deaths of Xi Huai's father and sister had been part of that plan. Years of sincere devotion, thrown to the dogs. After being reborn, Xi Huai turns completely dark. "I'm done being a saint!" That year, a great drought struck Jiangnan. A beautiful carriage rolled slowly down the filthy, chaotic street before stopping in front of a beggar who was on the verge of death. The curtain was lifted, revealing a slender hand as white as jade. The beggar looked up in a daze. The person inside the carriage said, "Take him back." The steward asked, "Young master, are you going to save him?" "Save him?" Xi Huai gave a low laugh, his phoenix eyes fixed on a face he would never forget, and gritted his teeth. "Train him well. He's my slave." Reader's guide: 1. A saintly character who turns dark, the bottom (Xi Huai) × A loyal puppy who obeys every command, the top (Yi Chongshuang). Master and servant. 2. Though the blurb sounds serious, the story is actually goofy and lighthearted! Just wait until I start posting it and see! 3.

(quietly wringing hands.jpg) Blurb: After suffering a serious injury, Chen Zhou opens his eyes to find a stunning, delicate beauty with long hair in front of him. Chu Xie gives him a faint smile, then coughs up a mouthful of blood. Coughing blood and looking weak, he asks, "You're awake?" He gives a bitter smile. "You might not believe this, but I'm actually very strong." The corner of Chen Zhou's mouth twitches. You look like you'll cough up blood and die any second. Of course I don't believe you!! * A major incident shakes the Divine Clan: the heavenly genius Chen Zhou, who has rejected countless admirers, brings a strange man back to his palace. The man is frail and always needs medicine. He's completely incapable of withstanding day and night of intimate attention, so everyone thinks the violent, brooding Chen Zhou will soon grow tired of this sickly man. Until they see Chen Zhou, who treats everyone else coldly, lower himself and gently coax the man. "Be good. Finish this bowl of medicine and I'll give you candy, okay?" Chen Zhou turns to everyone else. "Young Master Chu Xie is in poor health. Gather all our forces to protect him properly. If anything happens to him, you'll answer with your heads." When his subordinates see the man's true face, they exclaim in horror, "My lord, isn't this the legendary chasm hunter who can take down an icefield wolf with one punch!?" "Isn't he the wanted criminal who was hunted after wiping out the entire giant clan?!" "My lord, wake up! He's really strong!" * The helpless but capable bottom (Chu Xie) × The dark, violent, emotionally blank top (Chen Zhou) ---I know this is getting long, but I still have to recommend my friend's story because it's just so good!--- "The Most Popular Comedian" by Ma Hu Zijun ---A secretly flirtatious top meets an openly flirtatious bottom, and goofy meets goofy--- Rich second-generation heir Rong Yuheng is kicked out by his father, so he sneaks off to enter an audition, hoping to debut.
