After Becoming a Cannon Fodder, I Got Tangled Up with the Obsessive Male Lead

Xu Mo didn't realize until she was seven that she had transmigrated into an angst novel.

In the book, the male lead is abused from childhood and turns into a villainous businessman who controls the lifeblood of the country's economy. In the end, he causes the nation to be invaded and destroyed by foreign enemies.

Xu Mo is merely a cannon-fodder maid who takes a knife meant for a supporting male character.

Hoping to keep the male lead from turning into a lunatic, Xu Mo saves him several times. Somehow, the book's sickly, obsessive male lead becomes fixated on her.

Pei Qinghan, the male lead, is a sinister, ruthless, dark-to-the-core lunatic who uses people until there's nothing left of them. Wherever he goes, trouble follows.

When little black sesame ball Pei Qinghan approaches her with an innocent-looking face, Xu Mo, who knows the plot and wants no trouble, says, “You're more than I can handle. I'm out.”

Mini-scene:

Pei Qinghan: Acts cute, gets clingy, and plays the victim.

Xu Mo: Cold, heartless, and unmoved.

Pei Qinghan: “Mo Mo, I've been flirting with you this whole time. Didn't you notice?”

Xu Mo: “I thought you were setting me up so you could use me.”

Pei Qinghan: Hurt, then turns dark...

P.S. The leads are each other's only partners.

Song Nian'an transmigrates into the role of the male lead's beloved fiancée. On their wedding day, an Immortal Venerable arrives, enters a sect to pursue the Dao, and leaves her with just one word: “Wait.”

The original owner waited her whole life for him.

But Song Nian'an is different.

Yeah, right. Wait for him? By then, she'd be old and past her prime. So she hurried to find someone else to marry, only for an immortal cultivation sect to snatch him away. She found another, and they snatched him away too.

Thanks to the male lead, this may be a bug: every man she gets engaged to has an exceptional spiritual constitution.

“...” So they really are all picking on her, huh?

The elders of the various sects: “This girl has a fine eye for talent. We'll come here to shop from now on.”

With her love life going nowhere, Song Nian'an decides to build a career instead.

Her reputation for bringing good fortune to her fiancés has spread far and wide. Plenty of people want to get engaged to her so they can cultivate the Dao.

Thanks to all the compensation and gifts, she's become quite wealthy.

She even picks up a handsome, rosy-lipped accountant who wants no official status, only to be considerate and warm her bed.

Later, when Song Nian'an decides to quit while she's ahead and finally get married, an elder from a sect comes to claim her fiancé.

But when they see the groom's face, they fall into an odd silence before finally saying, “Miss, you really don't discriminate, do you? You'd even marry this demon. Maybe try someone decent.”

“?” Wait, who did you say he was?

Xie Guilin loves making trouble for cultivators. When he learns that many of the promising disciples they've found all came from an unremarkable mountain village, he grows curious and goes to investigate. There, he is captivated by a clear-eyed young woman.

But the queue of people hoping to marry his beloved stretches from one village to another. There are men and women alike. If he killed them all, she probably wouldn't be happy.

No matter. He's a thoughtful, considerate man. He'll get in line by becoming her secret lover. Sooner or later, his turn will come.

Coming soon: The Male Lead Insists on Being My Secret Lover. Add it to your favorites if you're interested. Sending love~

Su Yuanyue and her best friend transmigrate to an imaginary ancient dynasty. To avoid drawing attention, her friend dresses as a man all year round, so the two of them pretend to be a married couple. Their life together is going fairly well.

Then one day, her friend brings home a seriously injured man with fine clothes and handsome features, clearly someone of high status. They plan to look after him, trade the favor of saving his life for some money, and then leave.

But ever since they took him in, Su Yuanyue has been plagued by terrifying nightmares every night. Whenever she looks unwell, the man suffers stabbing pain in his heart, sometimes so severe that he vomits blood on the spot.

They're clearly born to be at odds. Terrified, the two women can only think of driving him away.

But the handsome man lowers his eyes and clutches her sleeve, confessing in a husky voice, “Whenever I see you, Madam, my heart races. I suppose it must be love at first sight.”

“?!” Seriously, man, you're vomiting blood! Maybe you should get your head checked.

Only when sealed memories suddenly return does Su Yuanyue realize this is her third life.

In her first life, she and her best friend transmigrated to ancient times and accidentally saved Chu Yunjin. He repaid her kindness with force and possession, keeping her locked in the imperial palace for the rest of her life until she died in despair.

In her second life, she returned to the modern world and learned she was merely a character in a book, while her beloved best friend was the vicious villainess opposing the male lead on her behalf.

Now, in her third life, she's back again, and that man has gone even crazier.

She avoids him at every turn, afraid to provoke this lunatic and trying to change the story's predetermined course, but she still can't escape her fate.

With nowhere else to turn, she has to seek Chu Yunjin's help again, already prepared to repeat her past mistakes.

But he merely lifts her chin gently, his voice tender even as he fails to hide his obsession. “Madam, would you let me be your secret lover?”

Su Yuanyue: “Huh?”

Ignoring her shock, he continues in a low voice, pleading for her love. “I ask for no title. I only ask that you show me some affection, Madam.”

Su Yuanyue: “?!”

Oh my God, you scared me!

As the crown prince of the dynasty, Chu Yunjin has spent half his life surrounded by blades and blood. He was careless only once, was gravely wounded, and was saved by someone.

A gentleman should repay kindness with gratitude, but instead he shamelessly sets his sights on the woman's “husband,” hoping to steal her away.

Members of the imperial family are skilled at taking what they want. Even if she's married, she can still divorce. A mere marriage in name won't stop him.

Unfortunately, the woman he loves avoids him like the plague. Every time she rejects him, his heart feels as though it's being torn apart, the pain unbearable.

He can only back down for now and find another way to stay by her side.

First, he'll become her secret lover and stay by her side every day. Once she falls for him, he'll get rid of the “husband” standing between them, that eyesore.

P.S. The leads are each other's only partners.
