I Reincarnated as the Cannon Fodder Side Character in a Sweet Romance

Cool young master × lively little princess

The male lead has mild yandere tendencies. The female lead is full of energy and afraid of nothing.

[Blurb]

After staying up late to read a sweet romance novel, Fang Yutang was so furious at the cannon-fodder villainess that she nearly spat blood.

It wasn’t because the villainess did so many wicked things. It was because she had to go and hang herself from just one tree. The villainess was fair-skinned, beautiful, and long-legged, with a good family background and good looks. She only had to crook a finger, and her admirers could line up all the way from her home to France.

But she just had to like the male lead. She did all sorts of wicked things for him, earning everyone’s hatred, and was eventually kicked out of her home.

At the end of the story, the male and female leads got married. The villainess secretly went to take a look and saw the female lead onstage, casting her a triumphant glance.

The villainess was so humiliated she wanted to die. She had once been such an outstanding person, but now anyone could trample on her. She thought a life like this wasn’t worth living.

And so, the villainess jumped into the sea.

Fang Yutang spat out a mouthful of blood, shut the book, and cursed, “What an idiot. If it were me, I’d never end up in such a miserable state.”

Her words proved prophetic. Later, she became Fang Yutang, the cannon-fodder villainess in the book.

The System said, “As you wish.”

Fang Yutang: “Go to hell. Send me back.”

The System: “Swearing costs you two life points.”

Her life mattered, so Fang Yutang hurriedly clung to the System, saying, “System Daddy, I’m sorry.”

The System: “Good girl~”

To make sure the plot could proceed as it should, she decided: the male and female leads, prepare to die!!!

Lu Qinghuan had known since childhood that she had a marriage alliance partner. She often heard the adults mention her, and curiosity got the better of her, so she secretly sneaked into the Fang residence to take a look.

The weather was beautiful that day. In the Fang family’s back garden, a little girl lounged beneath an oak tree with her legs crossed, holding a Shiba Inu as she basked in the shade. Dappled shadows fell around her. The girl suddenly woke with a start, looked back, and smiled brightly at her. “Who are you? How did you get in? I’ve never seen you before.”

Lu Qinghuan was dazzled by that smile, but had no more courage than to turn and run. Even then, she thought that if this girl was her marriage partner, it didn’t seem so bad.

And so, after transmigrating into a book, Fang Yutang accidentally became the sweet romance novel’s male lead’s white moonlight. After that, no matter how much “trouble” she caused, Lu Qinghuan thought she was just trying to get his attention.

[Bonus Scene]

On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the whole family sat in the courtyard admiring the moon. Fang’s mother asked Yutang, “What does the moon on the fifteenth look like?”

She meant to give her daughter a chance to show off her literary talent.

Fang Yutang stared at the moon for a long time, then ventured, “A salted... salted duck egg?”

The whole family burst out laughing.

The next day, somehow, the young master of the Lu family heard about it and sent Fang Yutang a box of salted duck eggs.

Fang Yutang trembled. “...System, I’m scared. Is the male lead finally going to make a move against me?”

The System: “Stay calm. Don’t panic!”
