So I Was a Spoiled Cannon Fodder: Quick Transmigration

[The cultivation world is complete. Updates daily at 9 p.m., 6k+ words a day. @Pre-release: My Brother Is a Dragon-Aspirant, blurb below]

As long as you complete your cannon fodder mission, you can be reborn.

Jiang Fu refused.

He sighed. "Cannon fodder? Just let me die. I can't do it. I'm not someone who can take hardship."

The System hurriedly tried to persuade him. "No, your role is a foil cannon fodder in an angst novel. You rely on your looks or family background to get whatever you want, and you spend 90% of the story being doted on. You have a much better time than the protagonist of an angst novel! It's only at the very end that there's a tiny bit..."

As a villainous cannon fodder, he would still have to be punished and meet a tragic end.

But the System promised, "You'll only suffer a little, then you can escape to the next world and keep doing whatever you want!"

Jiang Fu thought it over and agreed.

In the first world, Jiang Fu was a villainous cannon fodder who had stolen the protagonist's opportunities through underhanded means. He had even maliciously taken the protagonist in as his subordinate, using him as he pleased and tormenting him.

Jiang Fu enjoyed 90% of the story. His family doted on him, his sect stood up for him, and the protagonist, a child of destiny, waited on him hand and foot. Then, at last, everything went wrong. The truth about the past came to light, and the protagonist was supposed to kill him to prove his Dao and embark on a dark path.

But the male lead only held Jiang Fu by the wrist, his gaze passing over Jiang Fu's trembling eyelashes.

"You stole my opportunity," the male lead said calmly. "So make it up to me by becoming my Dao companion."

In the second world, Jiang Fu was a vain cannon fodder who broke off his engagement with the protagonist, yet still managed to climb the social ladder by attaching himself to powerful men.

Jiang Fu's fiancé changed from a general's legitimate son to the prime minister's son, then to the current crown prince. He had risen to the very top, with only the position of empress left to claim.

But on the day of his wedding, the protagonist led an army into the imperial city, his face still spattered with blood.

The male lead, whom he had once cast aside, looked at Jiang Fu's wide, trembling eyes and lifted him from the bed into his arms.

"A Fu, I did it."

"If you're going to be empress, you'll be my empress."

In the third world, Jiang Fu was a succubus green-tea cannon fodder who bewitched everyone and hid in a magic academy.

Among the entire academy, only the male lead, who carried divine blood, could see Jiang Fu's succubus lineage. He wanted to expose Jiang Fu's identity, but Jiang Fu repeatedly framed him, foiling his plans.

But...

The male lead didn't expose him. Instead, he pinned Jiang Fu to the bed and breathed in the scent of his neck, "warning" him over and over.

"A Fu, you can only treat me as your 'food.'"

Jiang Fu was close to tears. Wasn't he supposed to be able to do whatever he wanted until 90% of the story was over? Why was everything already going wrong?

Jiang Fu: the one and only pampered beauty in every little world. Everyone else is blind to him, and only the protagonist is immune.

Except later on... the protagonist, the only one immune to Jiang Fu,

seems to have lost his immunity too.

Here's an old-school-flavored upcoming novel

My Brother Is a Dragon-Aspirant

*The blurb is in first person, the novel itself is in third person

I'm Gu Zhiwu, and I'm also the younger brother of the dragon-aspirant male lead of Peerless Evil Immortal.

Well, not exactly his real younger brother. When I transmigrated here, I was eight years old, a household servant who was beaten and starved every day. Just as I was thinking that this other world was so cruel I might as well die and start over, the young master picked me up from the medicinal herb garden.

The young master said, "He's so cute. I want him to be my little brother."

And just like that, I became a pampered young master, or rather, the young master's toy.

I spent ten years living in fear. Then, over some ridiculous little thing, the wealthy family I lived with was slaughtered overnight. As I stood in a pool of blood, breaking down and thinking that this world was full of perverts, lunatics, and murderers, I suddenly remembered why the name "He Lingxiang" sounded so familiar.

He was the male lead of Peerless Evil Immortal, an overpowered progression fantasy I'd read.

This world was so cruel, yet it was supposed to be a "feel-good novel."

I also remembered who I was: the male lead's adopted younger brother, whom he had kindly taken in. On the day the male lead's entire family was massacred, I ran out and took a fatal blow for him. The male lead witnessed my death, was jolted into inheriting his bloodline, and managed to escape. My death was only briefly mentioned, a plot device to establish the male lead's tragic backstory.

I remembered everything. But even when the male lead hid me away and repeatedly warned me not to make a sound, I ran out at the critical moment and took the blow for him.

Because I couldn't stand this world full of mentally ill people anymore. I wanted to go home!

If I fulfilled my role as a plot device, I would surely be able to go back.

But when I opened my eyes again,

I saw He Lingxiang's pale, gloomy face. He pulled me into his arms, running his fingers inch by inch over my body, then burying his face in my neck and inhaling deeply. "Xiao Wu, I'm sorry I kept you waiting so long for your brother."

The He Lingxiang in front of me is now a mighty cultivator who has overcome the tribulation. And the only reason he hasn't ascended is me.

I really hope He Lingxiang will ascend.

After experiencing the twisted, distorted love my brother has for me.

The blurb is in first person, the novel itself is in third person.

The protagonist is somewhat gloomy and self-destructive, a stunning beauty who doesn't know it. The love interest is completely crazy, with an overwhelming desire to protect and possess him, as well as a particular XY and skin hunger. So this may be a sweet romance with a somewhat dark and twisted flavor (?)

Theme: Kindness can dissolve barriers and prejudice.
