After Giving Up, I Took Down the Cannon Fodder System

Zhu Yu transmigrates into a melodramatic novel as a cannon-fodder character, saddled with a [Cannon-Fodder Comeback System] that exists solely to screw over its Host.

Mission: Confess your love to the male lead, Qin Mo.

Reward: Beauty -10, weight +5.

Ending: Relentless pursuit, followed by being drowned in a pond.

Looking at his plump self in the mirror, Zhu Yu fell silent.

He didn't need that reward! To hell with the plot. He'd eat a slice of Black Forest cake to calm himself down.

Then, just as he was forced to make his "seventh confession," something unexpected happened.

Faced with Qin Mo's icy expression, he blurted out, "If you want some too, there's osmanthus cake over there."

[Ding! Behavior deviates from the script! Unknown bug triggered! Received a reward for defying expectations: Beauty +0.5!]

Zhu Yu: "...Huh?"

So acting out is the key to staying alive?

From then on, the story went completely off the rails.

Humiliated in public, he gave a guileless smile. "Wind's too loud. I can't hear you."

System: [Warning! Host's character is collapsing!]

Provoked by a rival in love, he sincerely recommended, "How about this matcha mousse? Good, right?"

System: [...Running bug calculations. Issuing reward...]

He lounged around at a banquet, laid-back and covered in cake crumbs, yet somehow maxed out a strange assortment of affection points.

Qin Mo, the male lead who should have hated him to the bone, grew increasingly intense in his gaze.

Jiang Yan, the male lead's love interest who should have been his nemesis, looked at him with ever greater warmth.

Looking at the inexplicably harmonious "love triangle" around him, the System let out one final wail:

[Host! Your mission is to be cannon fodder, not a heartthrob adored by everyone!]
