The Good-for-Nothing Cannon Fodder's Guide to Becoming Everyone's Favorite

Synopsis: Chu Yishu was a useless second-generation official and cannon-fodder character who had spent all twenty-one years of his life muddling along. His father died after backing the wrong side in the struggle for the throne, and the family fortune was wiped out. Hunted by his father's enemies, Chu Yishu sought help from a close friend. His friend cupped his face and said, "If you want me to risk saving you, A Chu, you'll have to give me something in return." Terrified by his friend, he gritted his teeth and agreed to the terms so he could survive, but he still died in an assassination attempt. After being reborn, Chu Yishu repented: I was wrong to be uneducated, eat and wait to die, bully people recklessly, cause trouble everywhere, and drag my father and family down with me. I was a real scoundrel. My friend fell in love with me and wants to imprison me and keep me spoiled and useless. He must have been led astray by someone later on. As his friend, I can't give up on him. I have to set him straight. After repenting, Chu Yishu carefully reined in his arrogance and hid his sharp edges. He picked up a book, studied hard, and resolved to become a pillar of the nation. But... "A Chu." "Yishu." "Xiao Shu..." "My dear Minister Chu..." Surrounded by the people gathered before him, Chu Yishu, who had somehow become a marquis and chancellor, felt his fingers tremble around the book. Chu Yishu, a cannon-fodder character who lived for twenty-one years, was lucky enough to be reborn and determined to mend his ways and become a good person from now on: in danger. * Theme: Break free from darkness and embrace the light.
