Story blurb

Also known as The Beautiful, Strong, Tragic Character Drops His Cannon Fodder Script, I Invite My Master to Prove His Love Trial, and The Beautiful, Strong, Tragic Cannon Fodder Quits

Chi Yan transmigrates into the novel The Three Thousand Great Dao and is forced to bind himself to a cannon fodder support System.

He has to play various cannon fodder roles, pushing the characters in the book toward key plot points.

At the cost of his own devotion, even his sacrifice.

After saving up enough spiritual power, Chi Yan refuses to follow the plot anymore. “You want me to cut out my bones, bleed myself dry, and sacrifice myself for others? Who cares!”

System: “The Host must complete the tasks to stay alive.”

Chi Yan: “I hacked your data. Looks like I can stay alive even if I mess up the plot.”

System: ...

Chi Yan: “Wouldn’t it be more interesting if I took back all the opportunities in the book?”

Chi Yan acts on his words. The fight he expected never happens, but the important characters don’t look at him quite right.

Romance blurb

The Sword Cultivator Venerable, Xie Xinghe, brutally kills his direct disciple and cuts out his innate spiritual bone to cure his own cold ailment, shocking the world.

No one knows that Chi Yan was the one who stabbed the sword in himself, gripping his master’s hand to stop him from pulling it out.

He even cut out the spiritual bone himself. His excuse? “The medicine might not work as well if someone else does it!”

His master is the moonlight in Chi Yan’s heart. He pursued him for twenty years without ever stirring his heart.

Yet in the original story, this very master falls to demonic cultivation for love while undergoing his love trial, becoming the story’s greatest villain.

That won’t do! The person in his love trial has to be me!

Chi Yan cuts out his spiritual bone to cure the Venerable’s cold ailment, then plans to pursue him slowly under a different identity.

He fakes his death and returns, only to have his secret identity exposed on the spot.

Trembling in fear, he is met with an urgent kiss on the lips.

Chi Yan: “...What? I thought you weren’t moved?”

The Male Supporting Character Really Has No Hidden Motive [Book Transmigration]

Author: Jian Zhu

Also known as It’s Hard Being a Villain

He Xu transmigrates into a novel and becomes the male lead’s trusted deputy.

He has a crush on the second female lead and does everything he can to help her get together with the male lead. He commits every kind of misdeed just to break up the main couple, eventually wearing away their years of friendship and earning the couple’s united retaliation.

At the end of the story, the female lead’s younger brother uses his influence to tie the powerless cannon fodder male supporting character up and send him to an uninhabited planet, where he struggles to survive for the rest of his life.

He Xu, who has a copy of the script, sometimes slacks off at work, but for the most part he does his job diligently. With an unwavering commitment to never going out of character, he focuses on assisting the male lead, tries hard to win the second female lead’s favor, and treats the female lead with cold indifference.

He spares no effort in making his dislike of the female lead’s sister-obsessed younger brother clear.

He Xu, who wears “I just can’t stand you siblings” plainly on his face, does his job with all due diligence.

And with the “vicious cannon fodder” making move after move, the plot gradually gets back on track.

At the end of the story, He Xu welcomes the black cloth thrown over his head, delighted at the thought that he can finally wrap up his role, find a small planet to live on under an assumed name, and enjoy his retirement far from the characters in the story.

When he opens his eyes again, he finds himself in a bright, spacious room. He Xu stares straight up at the ceiling, then a face suddenly appears right in front of him, blown up in close-up.

The female lead’s younger brother glares at him viciously, like a ferocious wolf.

The setting is wrong, but the character and mood are a good match.

He Xu waits for the closing line: “How could there be someone as evil as you? You deserve to spend the rest of your life on a garbage planet.” He only has to put up a little resistance, then await the transport ship’s explosion, and he can get his perfect death scene and fake his own death to escape.

He Xu struggles to hide his anticipation, feigning indifference as he deliberately provokes him.

A fluffy head buries itself against his side, and the person leans his whole body over him.

The sudden weight on him and his limbs being pinned down leave He Xu’s mind in a daze, stirring up a vague sense of unease.

The next second, the one who was supposed to give him his death scene suddenly looks up, his eyes red from crying and full of hurt. “Why can’t you look at me just once?”

His opponent offers him a rose, signaling a confession.

He Xu: “?”

Are you okay? Where’s the big death scene I was promised?
