The Cannon Fodder Awakens

Qu Yuan nearly died at the hands of Xu Ling's enemy. When his own boyfriend frantically fled with the equally injured Xu Ling in his arms, Qu Yuan finally realized he was living in a book, and that his friend Xu Ling was the protagonist. Xu Ling was strong and determined. He gradually awakened the ability to practice alchemy, leveling up one rank at a time like a hero fighting monsters. Eventually, he became one of the top first-level alchemists, adored by countless people, and even won the heart of the youngest son of the Shen family. Later, people discovered that he had countless ties to the prestigious Qu family. In the end, he gained both fame and fortune and reached the peak of his life. Qu Yuan, meanwhile, was a supporting character who was willing to die to save Xu Ling, whose boyfriend was secretly in love with Xu Ling, and who was still a useless nobody with no awakened abilities in his twenties. Qu Yuan was lucky enough to survive. He left Xu Ling and decided to make it on his own. But then... Before long, the Qu family came looking for him, weeping as they hugged him. Later, Qu Yuan, who had planned to live off his family, accidentally made the only natural plant in their home grow into a towering tree. Qu Yuan was so stunned that he frantically cuddled the cat he'd picked up on the road. As time went on, everyone outside learned that the Qu family had a genius, whom they kept hidden like a treasure and wouldn't let anyone see. Until one day, the Shen family's head, who was said to be in poor health and was only seen a few times a year, showed up at their door with officials from the civil affairs bureau to propose marriage. The Qu family immediately roared in unison: "Get out!!!" Shen gave a cold snort and looked at Qu Yuan, who couldn't stop petting him every day. "Why don't you tell me to get out when you hold me every night?" Qu Yuan stared blankly at the man before him. "You never said you were human!" Coming soon: Back from the Apocalypse Su Cheng'an returned from the apocalypse. When he opened his eyes and saw lights working normally, cool air from the air conditioner, and a comfortable bed, tears streamed down his face. He was back!!! He was going to eat instant noodles in every flavor! Crackers! Bread! At first, everyone worried that Su Cheng'an would go back to bullying Su Xu, who had no one to rely on, try every possible way to take Gu Jin back, and turn the Su family upside down. But... When Su Xu went camping with Gu Jin, Su Cheng'an was busy fighting over freshly baked bread. When Gu Jin was injured and hospitalized, Su Cheng'an complained that the hospital food was bad. When his father and brothers stood up for Su Xu, Su Cheng'an was focused on figuring out how to make a perfect bowl of braised pork rice. Everyone: "..." The strangest thing was that there was another person just as weird as him. The young master from City A, who was rumored to have been banished to their school, had once looked down on everyone, and everything he ate or used was top of the line. But after being discharged from the hospital, he suddenly treated food with reverence and even relished the cafeteria meals. Then the two oddballs met. Everyone: "???" Theme: Never stop striving.
