The Little Cannon Fodder Was Spirited Away by the Big Villain

1.

Chi An had always been obedient and sensible, cute and lively, the apple of the Chi family's eye.

When Chi An was four, his mother fell seriously ill and had to go abroad for treatment, so she had no choice but to leave him in the care of her good friend, Mu Linjing.

The family had a child named Gu Chennian, who was said to be naturally cold and aloof, a loner who rarely spoke to anyone.

Mu Linjing knew Gu Chennian was a special child. After being hurt when he was young, he had become taciturn and sometimes even acted out in extreme ways when triggered.

When Chi An came to the Gu household, Mu Linjing's biggest worry was that Gu Chennian would bully him.

But just a few days after Chi An arrived, Gu Chennian unexpectedly bought him a big bag of White Rabbit candies.

And the face that was usually expressionless even showed Chi An a faint smile.

After arriving at the Gu household, Chi An had a dream. He dreamed that Gu Chennian was the great villain in a book. Because Chi An had taken his parents' affection away from him when they were children, Gu Chennian grew up with a twisted personality. As an adult, he relentlessly opposed the protagonist, whom he'd already disliked, and was eventually killed by him. Since Chi An had been raised in the Gu household from childhood, he got caught up in the fallout too and couldn't escape his fate.

Chi An didn't want to die. He decided he had to set Gu Chennian straight and prevent the tragedy from his dream.

To make Gu Chennian behave, Chi An carried his little bowl over on his short legs at mealtime and said to him with a solemn face, "Big brother, you have to eat properly. We can't waste food, okay?"

Gu Chennian gave a quiet response, then casually picked up the grain of rice Chi An had accidentally knocked onto the table with his big movements and ate it.

To get Gu Chennian to study hard, Chi An brought his little primer and spread it out beside Gu Chennian's desk. "Big brother, only by studying hard can you change your life!"

Gu Chennian said, "Mm," picked up his pencil, and drew a big X over the 2+3=6 Chi An had written.

All these years, Chi An had thought he was the one correcting and protecting Gu Chennian. He never realized that, in everyone else's eyes, Chi An was the apple of Gu Chennian's eye, a precious treasure he'd raised from childhood. No one was allowed to hurt him or even touch him.

At the university dance attended by Chi An and Gu Chennian, a girl appeared and invited Gu Chennian to dance.

Chi An knew that she was the villain's unrequited love from the book. The villain was now a dazzling, handsome man, no longer the gloomy and terrifying figure from Chi An's dream.

Maybe the villain would marry that girl one day and have an adorable baby with her.

To give them a chance, Chi An secretly hid.

But when he turned around, Gu Chennian had him cornered against the wall.

"Where are you going?" The villain, who had always been so restrained and proper around Chi An, had shed his usual gentleness. He lowered his eyes to look at Chi An and asked in a quiet voice.

Chi An's gaze darted away. "I'm going to find someone else to dance with..."

Gu Chennian reached out and pulled him close. "You're mine. For the rest of your life, you can only dance with me and marry me."

Oh no! The little cannon-fodder has been swept away by the great villain!

My upcoming novel:

Dating Show with My Actor Ex

Jiang Zhi, a famously beautiful professor at A University, is not only good-looking but blends right in with the students. Unfortunately, he's a strict teacher and is known at A University for being impartial and hard-nosed.

Just as everyone is wondering what sort of person could win over Professor Jiang, who's still single at twenty-eight and utterly impartial, a piece of news suddenly breaks in the entertainment industry.

Popular film emperor Lu Yuchen confesses on Weibo to a mysterious person named Jiang Zhi on an ordinary evening. What's more, his words make him sound like a spurned lover who's been waiting years for a relationship to go somewhere: [Jiang Zhi, didn't you say you'd marry me after your twenty-eighth birthday? When are you going to make good on that promise?]

The next day, the students see Jiang Zhi show up in class looking as usual. Rumor has it he just celebrated his twenty-eighth birthday yesterday, and no one dares say a word.

Lu Yuchen is a young film emperor with countless fans. He's been in the industry for years without a single dating scandal. The only rumor is that he's been seeing someone since his student days. Whenever he attends an event, he wears a ring on his middle finger that signifies "taken." The question people ask most about him is when Lu Yuchen and his partner are going to get married.

After the news breaks, someone with too much time on their hands digs through Lu Yuchen's early life and uncovers Jiang Zhi's height, blood type, study-abroad experience, alma mater, and more. Every day, Jiang Zhi gets texts and emails from crazed fans. Finally, when a student carefully hints that a fan recently tried to use them to find out how Jiang Zhi was doing, Jiang Zhi can't take it anymore. He messages Lu Yuchen, who has been on his friends list for years without a word between them: [Whatever stunt you're pulling, deal with this immediately.]

A day later, Lu Yuchen's manager shows up with a million-dollar PR plan they put together overnight.

When Jiang Zhi sees the plan clearly state that he should appear on a dating show with Lu Yuchen and act lovey-dovey, he can't believe it. "Are you people crazy, or am I?"

The manager calmly looks at Jiang Zhi. "Maybe you have another solution?"

Lu Yuchen and Jiang Zhi broke up years ago. Lu Yuchen has always refused to admit he still loves Jiang Zhi, even though he has kept wearing the ring Jiang Zhi gave him back then. After his debut, he even told Jiang Zhi that he hoped to use Jiang Zhi's identity to ward off unwanted romantic attention.

Before the dating show begins:

[When did Lu Yuchen start chasing easy money? Did he ever sort out that marriage proposal thing? I don't want to watch a couple who can't stand each other pretend to be in love!]

[Lu Yuchen's partner is a university professor? LOL, bet he's bald!]

[Case closed. Too ugly to get married, huh? Haha! I get it!]

After the dating show airs:

[Ahhh, Professor Jiang! My wife!]

[Professor Jiang is so gorgeous! I was at death's door, but sat bolt upright. Turns out I'm the homewrecker!]

[WOW, Lu Yuchen is so in love. I believe he really did propose now!]

**

Rumor has it online that Lu Yuchen and his partner broke up years ago, and that they're only appearing on the dating show to generate publicity.

That is, until Lu Yuchen posts a new Weibo update: a wedding photo of him and Jiang Zhi. [Thanks, everyone. We're already married.]

Fans: [Sob, whether or not we're part of the PLAY, this is too sweet! We wish you a lifetime of happiness!]

Theme: People must have a kind heart to live a happy life.
