After transmigrating into a novel as a cannon-fodder character in a sweet, clueless heroine's story, Qin Huaiyu read the entire book but couldn't find anything about himself.
The System pointed to a line in the story: His entire family would be executed.
You're part of that family.
Qin Huaiyu gave a thumbs-up. "Impressive!"
Even so, he'd keep eating and drinking his fill until the plot point arrived, then see what happened.
But as the story progressed, he realized the heroine was an idiot and the hero was even more useless.
Sigh. What had his family done to deserve that fate?
Oh, when she was young, the heroine fell in love at first sight with his older brother and secretly gave him a sachet as a token of her affection. His brother turned her down.
If you don't love me, then I'll leave!
Later, the heroine met the male lead, who forcefully pursued her. When she swore that she only loved his brother, the male lead seized an opportunity to mock and frame him.
His brother had it rough.
Now it was Qin Huaiyu's turn to show what he could do: a gifted scholar and fighter, a math prodigy who could belittle the enemy state's ministers, storm their camp, and beat up their prince.
But he never expected his eldest brother to become the top-ranked scholar almost immediately.
When an envoy from the enemy state visited, his father won glory for their country with his sharp tongue and commanding presence, besting everyone in debate.
His mother was a brilliant player of Go and defeated the enemy state's top player.
Wait, was he just being carried by his family?
In that case, Your Highness next door, wait up! Don't become a monk so soon. Take me with you!
Theme: The world is a beautiful place.
