The Cannon Fodder's Rise to Becoming Everyone's Favorite

[Coming Soon: Transmigrate into a Book, Become the Beloved's Substitute Younger Brother, a Scum-Tormenting Story. When dealing with scum, we should use righteous methods!] Here's the blurb for this novel. Yi Leng transmigrated into a book he'd read, an ancient-era danmei novel where scum seme were everywhere, while he was just a cannon-fodder shou. In the original story, the cannon-fodder was forced by his scum seme godfather, caught when he tried to escape, and eventually kicked to death, one kick at a time. The scum seme then found himself another, more obedient substitute. The original cannon-fodder died early and was forced apart from the person he loved. Nobody even remembered him when the scum seme kicked him to death. He was only in three chapters. To avoid being killed, Yi Leng chose to flee from the scum seme. Yi Leng lay low and plotted carefully. When the crucial moment in the story arrived, he stabbed the scum seme in the back. Watching him stride away, the scum seme said with a sinister, obsessive look, "One day, you'll come crawling back to me!" Yi Leng answered without hesitation, "Could you please stop acting up?" Scum seme: "???" After finally escaping, he ran into the story's second scum seme, who looked respectable but was just as vicious. The second scum seme wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, but his words sent a chill down Yi Leng's spine: "Beg me, and next time we meet, I'll spare your life and break both your legs." Yi Leng: "..." He turned back with a sigh. "Maybe I should just slit his throat." "..." Yi Leng only wanted to escape and live a quiet, laid-back life, but the scum seme wouldn't stop chasing him. Yi Leng was exasperated: I'm just a cannon-fodder shou. Stop following me. My part in the story is already over, got it? You shameless shou, stop following me. We have no future together. Scum seme, come collect your shou! Scum seme No. 1 and No. 2: Oh no, that stab made you the moonlight of my life. Shameless shou: I can be the seme for love. Yi Leng: ...You're all just asking for a beating. Reader's Guide: 1. There will definitely be a crematorium and a love-triangle showdown. I just want to torment the scum seme. 2.

Coming Soon: Transmigrate into a Book, Become the Beloved's Substitute Younger Brother Kan Yu transmigrated into a tragic supporting character in an old-fashioned, everyone-loves-him novel. In the original, he was the younger brother of the beloved protagonist shou. The protagonist shou was delicate and sickly, his skin turning pink at the slightest touch, driving people wild with desire. The family inheritance belonged to the protagonist shou, as did their father's affection. His fiance loved him but couldn't have him, his childhood friend loved him with unwavering devotion, and even the scum seme Kan Yu liked had been secretly in love with the protagonist shou for ages... Kan Yu was a spoiled rich kid, skilled at eating, drinking, and having fun. He even took up gambling, spent all his money, and ran up a huge debt. When he went to the protagonist shou for help and was rejected, the scum seme noticed how much he resembled the protagonist shou and forced him to become a substitute lover. During their intimate moments, he called out the protagonist shou's name, earning the scum seme's utter contempt. In the end, the protagonist shou and the scum seme got together, while Kan Yu was kidnapped by the scum seme's enemy. The scum seme was busy protecting the protagonist shou, and Kan Yu was killed by his kidnappers. When Kan Yu arrived, he was in bed. The scum seme was making him and the protagonist shou have a threesome. Seeing the scum seme leaning over him, Kan Yu punched him in the nose without hesitation! Blood gushed everywhere! I'm a special forces soldier. You think you can pin me down? Dream on! Overflowing with a sense of justice, Kan Yu pulled the sickly protagonist shou to his feet and lectured him: "You have to stand up for yourself! Don't give bad people a chance to take advantage of you! If all else fails, call the police, got it?" Sickly protagonist shou: "..." * Kan Yu beat the scum seme to a pulp. The scum seme wiped the blood from his mouth, his gaze as vicious as a wolf's. "You'll come crawling back to me." The scum seme stopped paying off his gambling debts. Loan sharks came after Kan Yu and surrounded him, threatening to sell him if he couldn't pay. Kan Yu smiled. Everyone marveled at what a pretty airhead he was. But then... Kan Yu sat on top of the loan sharks, who were sprawled on the ground, and made a call. "Hello, is this the police? I'd like to report these people for violent debt collection. My name is..." * Everyone thought Kan Yu was a pretty good-for-nothing, a spoiled, empty-headed spendthrift. Without the protection of the Kan family and his older brother, they believed he would eventually fall into ruin and become someone's kept lover. His older brother, Kan Younian, thought so too, until he saw him at a construction site. In a black tank top, his slim yet powerful waist glistening with sweat, damp hair clinging to his forehead, he grinned as he carried a stack of bricks taller than a person. Someone said, "President, he says he's paying off his debt by laying bricks." Kan Younian: "..." Kan Younian wondered how long he could keep it up. Not long after, someone told him, "He's become a construction foreman!" And before long... "He's planning to start a construction company!"
