Three-and-a-Half-Year-Old Cannon Fodder Supporting Lady [The 1980s]

[This story goes VIP on the 25th, with three chapters on launch day. Thanks for your support! Coming soon: The Ridiculous Pop Star Lands in a Period Novel]

After Jiang Yanyan pushed her into the river, three-year-old Gu Mimi had a dream.

Before long, her father would die in an accident, her grandmother and uncle would take the family fortune, and her overworked mother would die young.

Luckily, she found a magical stone. The little stone said it would help Gu Mimi reclaim the life she was meant to have.

Only after being reborn did Jiang Yanyan realize she was living inside a novel.

All her good luck had been stolen from Gu Mimi. The more miserable Gu Mimi was, the luckier Jiang Yanyan became.

Keeping this big secret to herself, Jiang Yanyan planned to live a better life.

But after getting a second chance, why was everything different?

Gu Mimi's dead father came back alive, and her timid mother stood up to her mother-in-law and split off from the family.

Later, Gu Mimi and her mother followed the army, and Gu Mimi became the darling of the whole military compound.

Even Shen Che, whom Jiang Yanyan had longed for in her previous life, took Gu Mimi everywhere he went.

Watching Gu Mimi's life get better and better, Jiang Yanyan panicked. She couldn't accept it. Weren't those things supposed to belong to her?!

Bonus scene

Since escaping her cannon-fodder life, Mimi's days had been getting better and better, and her little face had grown rounder and rounder.

She'd also made a good friend: Brother Shen Che, who didn't like to talk.

Brother Shen Che was really nice. He especially liked giving money to old people, like the old man selling candied hawthorns and the lady selling ice pops.

One day, Mimi heard the little stone say that a really good person was called a great benefactor bodhisattva.

That day, Shen Che had just reached the front door when he saw all the children in the compound gathered together.

Gu Mimi stood in the middle, giving an impassioned speech. "Brother Shen Che is a gr... um..."

Gu Mimi awkwardly scratched her chubby little cheek. Mimi had forgotten her line.

Shen Che and Gu Mimi looked at each other. Suddenly, inspiration struck Gu Mimi. "Mimi remembers! Brother Shen Che is a big egg bodhisattva!"

Shen Che: Thank you. :)

Note: 1. The story is set in a fictional world, and some customs and prices may differ.

2. The romance only begins once the main characters are adults.

3. I'll add more if I think of anything. Happy New Year in advance!

Su Mianmian lands in a period novel and becomes the cannon-fodder female supporting character.

To make matters worse, it's just as the female character is sent to the countryside and everyone hates her.

Su Mianmian thinks it over, then decides to forget it and lie flat.

Even while working, Su Mianmian doesn't give up her hobby.

Out in the fields, the overbearing team leader and the puppy-like educated youth secretly compete over who will get to help the heroine today.

Watching this tense scene, Su Mianmian blurts out, "Today is a good day..."

Before she can finish the song, the team leader and the educated youth embrace, their faces full of joy.

Su Mianmian tests it out: "To..."

Hug.

"Day..."

Hug.

Good grief, singing has given her superpowers!
