The Cannon Fodder Wins by Eating Well

Coming soon: Reborn as the Fake Heiress with Terrible Grades

Sweet and innocent underachiever * Rebellious, arrogant school bully

Li Suxue transmigrates into an early-era web novel as a cannon-fodder tool character. From the start, she is destined to become the seventeenth concubine of a seventy-year-old man.

Next, she will become obsessed with the story's great villain, grow jealous of the heroine, and set her up, only to be beaten by the villain and the male lead working together and tortured to death.

A thousand wild horses seem to stampede through Li Suxue's mind. “Cannon fodder may have no rights, but surely I have the right to fall in love! I can just avoid getting obsessed with the villain, and not be jealous of or set up the heroine, right?”

To escape her fate, Li Suxue takes in a handsome little fool she found and begins a culinary journey to save a cannon-fodder character: sour plum soup, spicy chicken, crystal-braised pork knuckle, Mao Xue Wang, boiled fish fillets, mousse cake...

All kinds of modern delicacies draw in a crowd of loyal customers. Business is booming, she makes money until her hands cramp from counting it, and the little fool grows more and more irresistible.

Pampered to the skies, Li Suxue can finally relax. She no longer has to worry about falling for the villain, Nie Zheng. All she needs to do each day is make snacks with the little fool, feed him treats, and sell treats.

The little fool, who is actually the villain Nie Zheng: “I really don't know what to say. Better keep my secret identity under wraps for now.”

1. Content warning: The male lead has amnesia, but can only smell the female lead and will only eat food she cooks. Please don't read if that's not your thing. Writing and reading should be fun and enjoyable.

2. Plot-focused, with food as a side dish.

Coming soon, a story set in the 1970s: The Village Belle and the Landlord's Foolish Son

Top student Gu Ruitian can't stand his deskmate Lin Jiaojiao. She's too noisy, too fussy, too spoiled, and doesn't like studying.

Underachiever Lin Jiaojiao can't stand class monitor Gu Ruitian either. He's taciturn and always talks back.

They both can't wait to be assigned to different classes so they never have to sit together again.

Unexpectedly, they are both reborn in the food- and clothing-scarce 1970s. Now they have no choice but to help each other and work together to fill their stomachs.

The villagers of Linjiawan discover something amusing.

Gu Ruitian, the landlord's foolish son who married into his wife's family, is suddenly no longer a fool. He's skilled at climbing trees to raid nests, catching fish in the river, and chasing rabbits in the fields.

Lin Jiaojiao, an enthusiastic activist from a poor peasant family, used to be full of fight every day, picking a fight wherever she went. Whenever she saw Lin the Fool, her class enemy, she would spit at him.

But for some reason, overnight she turns into a timid little coward. Every day she follows Lin the Fool around, sweetly calling, “Brother Lin, come over to my house for dinner today...”

*

Gu Ruitian's intention is to keep things fair and owe each other nothing. She makes him a pair of shoes, he gets her some eggs from a nest. She mends his clothes, he roasts her a fish. Then one day, Lin Jiaojiao is about to go to the city with her fiancé.

Gu Ruitian corners her against the wall and coaxes, “Be good, don't go. Let's go to college together. We'll still be deskmates.”

Foodie, sweet and innocent heroine * Scheming hero who becomes a master chef for his foodie sweetheart

Check out my friend's novel, I'm Done Being the Saintly Female Side Character. If it sounds fun, give it a click!

A year into her marriage, Gu Bonian's first love gets divorced!

After Ye Wu falls ill with a fever and faints from distress, she dreams that she remembers she transmigrated into a book as a female side character!

In the book, Gu Bonian is the most devoted male side character to the heroine, his first love. And Ye Wu, as a female side character, isn't the usual wicked woman who indulges herself and dares to love and hate. She's a genuine saintly, white-lotus female side character!

As a saint, she loves the heroine so much that she takes a knife for her, tests medicine for her, and gets kidnapped for her. She also stands by her when the heroine suffers a miscarriage, has her birth secrets exposed, ends up homeless, and is nearly killed in a car accident...

After Ye Wu gives everything she has and fulfills her “sacred” role, her husband Gu Bonian ends her story with the words, “You're too good for me. I don't deserve you.”

Having experienced despair in her dream, Ye Wu finally comes to her senses.

A lapdog is still a lapdog. In the end, it gets nothing!

So I'm done being this saintly female side character!

Later...

Gu Bonian receives a paparazzi photo from a friend:

A woman in cat-eye makeup and a strapless leather minidress holds a wineglass, languidly and seductively lifting the chin of a handsome young man with her index finger.

Gu Bonian: ????

Who is this woman who looks so much like his wife, yet has a completely different aura?
