A Confucian Scholar Transmigrates into a Beautiful Cannon Fodder

1.

After sacrificing himself for the Way, Yan Qing, a Confucian disciple, transmigrated into an entertainment-industry novel as a beautiful cannon-fodder character.

The original character had stunning looks and debuted in the entertainment industry on the strength of his beautiful face.

The original character quickly shot to fame, but he was arrogant, conceited, and vain. After failing to seduce the top-tier star male lead, he was set up and married off to the villain, Shen Lanyuan.

Shen Lanyuan was the heir to the Shen family. He excelled in business warfare, was ruthless in his methods, and was deeply calculating.

The original character threw his weight around, relying on the Shen family's wealth and power to intimidate others, until his own actions brought about his ruin.

When Yan Qing arrived, he was lying on Boss Shen's big bed, his clothes in disarray.

Having learned the entire plot, Yan Qing quickly sat up straight: "Do not look at what is improper, do not do what is improper."

Boss Shen, pretending to sleep, narrowed his eyes slightly. "Heh."

Yan Qing, a dramatic troublemaker with a mountain of bad press, is going to appear on a couples' reality show.

Hater 1: That Yan Qing who tried to seduce our fave got married and still wants to ride our fave's coattails.

Hater 2: I heard his husband is an 82-year-old geezer. He must have married him for his money.

When Yan Qing and Shen Lanyuan appeared, the netizens fell silent: Broad shoulders + narrow waist + long legs + a face like a 3D model = an 82-year-old geezer?

Haters: It's a marriage of convenience! They each do their own thing, and Boss Shen has someone else in his heart.

As everyone waited to watch the awkward everyday life of the little troublemaker and the big boss, they found themselves gradually captivated by the little troublemaker's style.

Supporting Character A set a trap for Yan Qing, arranging for him to be alone with the top-tier star male lead in a dark room.

Yan Qing firmly refused: "Do not impose on others what you yourself do not desire."

The male lead proposed on camera that he spend a day helping street cleaners sweep the streets.

As soon as filming ended, the male lead packed up and left.

Yan Qing handed him the broom: "Keep your word and see it through. If a person is not trustworthy, what good are they?"

Just as Yan Qing's reputation began to turn around, a reborn, universally adored beauty reported him and Shen Lanyuan for tax evasion.

Unexpectedly, the relevant authorities came forward to debunk the rumor. The Shen-Yan couple both paid taxes at the highest rate in the industry, and in recent years they had quietly donated billions to charity.

The netizens were deeply moved, and the media interviewed the pair overnight.

Boss Shen, known for his iron-fisted methods in the business world, said calmly: "When the Great Way prevails, all under Heaven belong to the public. Xiao Yan pursues this Great Way, so as his husband, I should support him with all my might."

The netizens: Is this what it means to be on the level of the powerful? This damn sweet romance, I'm shipping them!

A deeply calculating villainous big shot who walks the line of criminal law (but will reform) VS a Confucian gentleman who pursues the Great Way and has level-ten debating skills.

Theme inspired by the Tang dynasty poet Xue Feng.

Theme: When the seas are calm and the world is at peace, it is time to promote culture and lay down arms.
