After Becoming Cannon Fodder in a Feel-Good Novel, the Villain Confessed to Me

After Xiao Bai dies, he becomes a rich second-generation cannon fodder character in a wish-fulfillment novel and gets bound to a wish-granting System. The System tells Xiao Bai to cherish his chance at being reborn. But when Xiao Bai first meets the novel's villain, the villain actually confesses to him. From then on, Xiao Bai sets out to face-slap scheming women left and right while falling in love with the villain.

Excerpt One: One day, Tang Ya, Duan Zhen, Zhong Li, Xiao Bai, and Director He get together to play Truth or Dare. When it's Zhong Li's turn, he chooses Truth. Tang Ya asks, "Tell us who your first love was." Everyone laughs, and Zhong Li thinks for a moment before saying, "I've been single for 28 years, and I'm still pursuing the only person I've ever had a crush on." "Ooh!" Everyone turns to look at Xiao Bai. Director He teases, "That's hardly a secret crush. It's practically an open confession." Xiao Bai's face turns bright red, and he glares at Zhong Li. Seeing this, Zhong Li quickly says, "All right, stop staring. Otherwise, I'll have to kneel on a washboard when I get home." Duan Zhen laughs. "So you two are already living together?" "Wow!" Everyone claps and cheers.

Excerpt Two: Before a certain TV series airs:

Yan Mu: I know everyone's worried about Brother Xiao Bai's acting, but acting skills aren't built in a day. No matter how the series turns out, I hope everyone will be kind.

Trolls: Ha. With Xiao Bai's skills, even watching him in a Mary Sue idol drama makes my eyes hurt. What else could anyone expect?

Viewers: I can't believe even Director He would bend over backward for a traffic star...

After the series airs:

Viewers: Aaaah, our brother is amazing! He could have coasted on his looks, but he chose to rely on his talent!

Yan Mu and the trolls: Our faces hurt so much.

Zhong Li: My wife is the best! Give me a kiss, sweetheart.

Xiao Bai: Thank you all for the praise. I still have room to improve.

Theme: Stay true to your original aspirations, and you'll reach the end
