The Cannon Fodder Supporting Female Lead Came from the Apocalypse

A frail, sickly, genuinely brilliant male lead x a strong, sunny female lead who only pretends to be a poor student

A story of mutual healing

The female lead's blurb:

Jiang Xiaolin struggled to survive in the apocalypse for five years, only to be clawed to death by a zombie just before the dawn finally broke.

Then she transmigrated into a novel, becoming the female lead's older sister, born to the same mother but a different father. She was a vicious supporting character who was constantly causing trouble and getting slapped down, until she died miserably and no one cared.

With the simple wish to keep her head down and stay away from the female lead, Jiang Xiaolin brought along her super-strength ability and planned to study hard, live quietly, and stay out of trouble.

But on her very first day, she nearly got caught up in the moment the male and female leads' feelings began to blossom.

Jiang Xiaolin: Thanks, but no thanks. Vicious supporting characters have no rights. Better make a run for it.

She accidentally ran too far and ran into a bully picking on a beautiful young man with disabled legs.

The young man was delicate and fragile. Jiang Xiaolin acted on impulse, snatched the steel pipe made of forged iron out of the bully's hands in full view of everyone, and crushed it into a metal lump in seconds.

The bully: I'm weak, pitiful, and helpless. Please spare me!

The beautiful young man: So cool, so beautiful. I'm in!

The male lead's blurb:

When Xiao Jiu was five, he was kidnapped. The kidnapping left him with disabled legs and severe psychological trauma.

He thought he would spend his whole life in darkness, but when he was eighteen, a sparkling girl suddenly entered his life.

From then on, his nightmares faded, his life filled with surprises, and even the truth behind the kidnapping he'd been pursuing slowly came to light.

He knew that from then on, everything he did would be for one reason: to get a little closer to that girl.

The girl likes meat? No problem, I'll learn to cook.

The girl admires top students? Easy. I'm the smartest top student there is.

The girl looks up to scientists? Even better. I'll leave the family business to my younger sister and devote my life to advancing science in our country.

The girl...

The girl had super-strength, but when Xiao Jiu cornered her by the bed, she turned her head away, shy and flustered.

"You... be careful of your legs..."

"I've already had another surgery on my legs. Now, want to see how strong they are?"

His warm breath brushed the girl's fair cheek, and Xiao Jiu watched it turn a light shade of red.

He thought he could look at that beautiful sight for the rest of his life.

Bonus scene:

Jiang Xiaolin: Stay away from me. I need to get into college!

Xiao Jiu: Today's menu: braised beef brisket with radish, oil-braised prawns, red-braised ribs, spicy diced chicken, four-joy meatballs...

Jiang Xiaolin (drooling): Let them go! I'll eat them!

Both leads are inexperienced, and this is a one-on-one romance. The male lead is temporarily disabled, but will recover later.

Blurb:

After spending half her life as a marquis's wife, Chu Yun considers herself gentle and virtuous, and her children have all turned out wonderfully. Seeing the marquis's household prosper, Chu Yun closed her eyes without a single regret.

When she opened them again, Chu Yun had become a rural widow in China in the 1970s.

Faced with a rebellious son, a vain daughter, a little one crying to be fed, and a very pregnant belly, Chu Yun fell silent.

With nothing but bare walls at home and wolves closing in from every side, the violent streak she'd suppressed for half her life burst out in an instant.

When her son misbehaved and got into a bloody fight with someone over a bite to eat, Chu Yun didn't say a word. She raised her whip and gave him a beating, then went up the mountain and hunted a rabbit.

The family ate until their mouths glistened with grease, and her son soon became her biggest fan. When other children insulted her, he stood up for her: "My mom is the best!"

As the family grew more prosperous, someone got greedy and climbed over the wall one night to assault Chu Yun. First, thorns pierced the soles of his feet. Then Chu Yun lashed him until he was drenched in blood and dragged him outside to be put on display, utterly disgraced.

Those who had planned to smear Chu Yun by accusing her of an affair kept quiet, too. People started saying behind her back, "She's a tigress."

Once her reputation as a bold, domineering woman spread, a matchmaker still came calling. Chu Yun nonchalantly held out her whip. "If you can beat me, then you can come ask for my hand."

Most people backed down, but Zhao Shanhe cheerfully accepted her challenge and declared, "Women hold up half the sky. A spirited woman like you is my perfect match. I'm going to marry you!"

Later, Zhao Shanhe rose higher and higher in his official career, and all their children became outstanding. When asked about their success, Zhao Shanhe and the children all said with heartfelt gratitude that it was thanks to Chu Yun.

Chu Yun merely picked up her whip and smiled proudly. "Compared to the fierce desert winds and savage tribes beyond the frontier, this is nothing!"
