Lin Xiaozhi was a nervous, perennial cannon fodder character.
To shed that identity as soon as possible, she dutifully played the tool who delivered props to the protagonist, working herself to the bone to rack up points.
Just as she was about to reach her target, her Rating System ran off with the harem system from next door, taking all her points with it! It actually ran away!!
Even worse, her cannon fodder career continued without the Rating System.
And the real kicker? She had a deadweight tagging along. No one had told her that the person who owed points to the harem system was bound to her. They might not have been born on the same day, in the same month, or in the same year, but they were destined to die on the same day, in the same month, and in the same year!
Whatever. She was done being cannon fodder. She just wanted to eat, drink, and be merry without dying.
So the protagonists suddenly discovered a traitor in the ranks of the cannon fodder.
Lin Xiaozhi: No one gets to be the protagonist in my story.
1. The Self-Sacrificing Real Heiress
When she was forced to take a knife for the reborn White Lotus heroine, Lin Xiaozhi swung her backpack around in a full 360-degree spin and knocked the attacker unconscious, right before everyone's astonished eyes. They all got to witness the power of knowledge firsthand.
Everyone looked at the heroine doubtfully. This is the frail little sister who can't take care of herself and always needs you to look after her?!
Heroine: ...
2. The Girl Group Idol Who Likes Drugging People
When the scene came where the male lead was drugged, the heroine caught her in the act. Lin Xiaozhi had only just woken up, but she stayed perfectly calm, grabbed the drugged glass, and downed it in one go. Then she looked back in confusion. "What?"
The heroine stared, dumbfounded. "!!! What happened to the seduction scene we agreed on?"
Then, under everyone's shocked gaze, Lin Xiaozhi dragged the genius director away, turning calmly to leave.
"Come on, deadweight. We need to have a little talk with the heavens."
3. The Romance-Brained Male Lead's Mom
The reborn five-year-old male lead was soundly defeated by the little girl next door and came home crying to complain. As the male lead's mom, who'd run away while pregnant, she said without a trace of affection, "Go find your dad."
Then, under the male lead's complicated and bewildered gaze, she quickly pulled out her 2K-screen phone and opened the show she hadn't finished watching.
Headphones on, nothing matters.
Aww, oppa is so handsome.
The male lead stared at his mom in disbelief. Where's the loving mother who promised to care for me in every way and cherish her son with all her heart?
The deadweight tagging along with the romance-brained male lead's dad: ...
Ugh, so annoying. Where's the heroine? Maybe I should just give her away. She's getting in the way of work.
4. The CEO's Wife Who Was Possessed
5. The Childhood Friend Who Can't Compete with the One Who Appears Later
Theme: Never surrender to reality, but know when to bend.
Silently asking, is there a male protagonist?
