All I Have Left as a Cannon Fodder Is My Beauty [Quick Transmigration]

Jiang Ci is bound to the Fate-Reversal System. As the cannon fodder in every world, he must change his destined death.

The System hides his beauty. Everyone who sees him automatically imagines him as an ordinary, malicious, and hateful-looking cannon fodder.

Because of this, Jiang Ci has been worn down. He curries favor with anyone who might be able to save him, fawning and begging for mercy, only to find himself unable to fight fate. He dies miserably in every world.

The System sends him back to worlds where he failed for another try. Jiang Ci assumes he is doomed to repeat the same mistakes, unaware that the System's concealment has stopped working.

Arc One: The Protagonist's Ex-Boyfriend, Reduced to Cannon Fodder

Jiang Ci is the protagonist's ex-boyfriend. The protagonist's suitors resent that the two of them once dated, and decide to ruin Jiang Ci's life. His company goes bankrupt, his family members are jailed, and he is left limping as he sells pancakes from a street stall. Even then, thugs target him, and he eventually starves to death beneath a bridge.

When Jiang Ci gets another chance, he has his original face, beautiful as an immortal's. He still begs one of the male leads, who is watching the scene unfold, to spare him and let him live.

But before he can kneel, the man gently helps him up and says there must be some misunderstanding.

Jiang Ci: ...Huh?
