Mo Xiao has always been unlucky.
They're both cannon fodder, but other people's cannon fodder characters come from top-tier families or are peerless masters.
She... she's the exact opposite.
Mo Xiao's father doesn't care for her, and her mother doesn't love her. She goes hungry half the time and eats her fill the other half. She has the same background as the protagonist, yet lives an even more miserable life! But she's a dedicated worker, diligently bullying the protagonist all the same!
When the protagonist was little: "Are you still hungry? I'll give you another bun."
Mo Xiao slapped all the buns away. "Hmph! I don't want them!"
Then she waited until the protagonist wasn't looking and picked them up to eat. She couldn't help it, she was about to starve to death!
After the protagonist grew up: "The journey will be long. You should wait for me to come back, and then we'll..."
Mo Xiao sneered. "You're just afraid I'll steal your lucky opportunities, aren't you? I'm going anyway!"
Once they arrived, she secretly kicked the protagonist into the place where the opportunity awaited. Only if the protagonist grew stronger could she serve as cannon fodder!
Just as Mo Xiao thought she would keep living this way day after day, she finally ran into another cannon-fodder character!
After finally becoming friends with this cannon-fodder character, though...
"Why?" Mo Xiao blinked, puzzled.
The young man smiled helplessly. "It's the mission, obviously." As he spoke, he stabbed her several more times for good measure.
Mo Xiao: ...
Go after the protagonist! Why are you coming after me?
"I'll pay you back," she said with a light laugh. "If I survive."
"Thanks. Please do your best to stay alive," he shot back.
1. One-on-one romance, both are virgins, happy ending.
2. Obsessive, scheming hypocrite vs. vindictive, fake villain.
3. The male lead only has eyes for the female lead and loves no one else.
