What's the fate of a cannon fodder character? Getting face-slapped, trampled, crushed...
Sometimes they don't even get to appear on page. They exist only in the background, enriching the protagonist's life and serving as stepping stones on their way to the top.
At last, the Heavenly Way had a change of heart and sent its own darling, a living lucky charm, to help the cannon fodder turn their fate around.
Jin Li: Follow me and prosper. Cross me and... you can go ahead and die.
Who could have guessed that as soon as this domineering lucky charm appeared, the protagonists would crowd around him? "He's just too cute! I'm in love! Take my life!"
Jin Li: ???
Jin Li: Don't spoil me. It won't lead anywhere. I'll rely on myself.

[Second World: Investiture of the Gods] Transmigrate as a young attendant under Shi Ji, killed by Nezha's arrow. Is this fate? Taiyi, you'd better explain yourself.

[Fourth World: The Legend of Nezha] Transmigrate as King Zhou... I'll lie flat. You can insult me all you want, just don't hit my face. Actually, you can hit my face, just don't touch my beloved consort!
?

Reader's Guide:
1. Fun and feel-good vibes come first. There are plenty of creative liberties, so this doesn't follow the original works.
2. The worlds the protagonist transmigrates into are tentative and may be added or removed before the novel begins.
3. There is no romance. When he transmigrates into a character who already has a partner, he'll take good care of them in accordance with the original character's wishes, but won't develop feelings for them.
4. If this novel goes smoothly, there may also be a Western version. Possible characters include Shylock from The Merchant of Venice and Mrs. Rochester from Jane Eyre.
