After a Run of Bad Luck Turned Me Into Cannon Fodder, I Made a Comeback With My Green Tea Persona

Pre-release story The Infinite Rewind Company, please leave a star~

Blurb (lighthearted, satisfying, sweet story):

The essay prompt the year Chen Chuan took the college entrance exam was: Write an essay about the lessons conveyed by the Go terms "basic move," "brilliant move," and "vulgar move."

Already a world champion in Go, Chen Chuan earned a perfect score on the essay that year.

But Chen Chuan was an unbelievably unlucky Go world champion, and he transmigrated into a cannon-fodder character in an anti-cliche story.

In the original story, he was killed after accidentally overhearing the villain's plan to seize the throne. If he didn't save himself, he would return to reality and meet his destined death.

This was a world where Go reigned supreme. In the original story, the first-rank general Du Moheng was passionate about Go, but even more passionate about the prince Meng Zhizhou, who was not only a brilliant player but also played with an otherworldly grace.

Meng Zhizhou was his moonlight. Though he seemed weak on the surface, he was ruthless behind the scenes. After using his green-tea act to get Du Moheng to help him seize the throne, he cruelly disposed of him.

But under Chen Chuan's repeated guidance, Du Moheng turned seemingly hopeless games around again and again. Before long, he couldn't help paying more attention to Chen Chuan.

The prince, who had always counted on being the general's beloved to get his way, couldn't stand it!

If you're paying attention to someone else, how the hell am I supposed to use you to seize the throne and then kick you to the curb? I'd better bring out my green-tea nature and make the great general dote on me.

And then...

The moonlight got a stomachache and turned deathly pale. Chen Chuan got a headache, turned even paler, broke into a cold sweat, and started breathing rapidly...

The moonlight fainted weakly into Du Moheng's arms. Chen Chuan fainted too, conveniently shoving him aside, and cast Du Moheng an adoring glance before closing his eyes...

The moonlight deliberately bumped into Chen Chuan, trying to frame him for running into him. But Chen Chuan cleverly shifted the angle, making it look like the moonlight had bumped into him instead. As luck would have it, the moonlight hit his head on the corner of a table and bled profusely...

Before fainting, Chen Chuan clutched Du Moheng's clothes and said weakly, "It was... my fault. I accidentally bumped into the Ninth Prince. General, please... punish me..." He hadn't even finished the last word when his eyes closed, his hand went limp, and he crashed to the floor.

Du Moheng was so worried that he picked him up and rushed out to find a doctor.

The moonlight was dumbfounded.

Even the System was so green with jealousy it turned tea-colored.

Chen Chuan gloated in Du Moheng's arms: I know all about the Go you love, and I won't fall for your moonlight's tricks. I'm bravely fighting alone for love!

Cool-headed, rational, yet gentle general gong x clever, theatrical, ultra-green-tea guard shou

*Please leave a star for my completed story: Do Not Covet the Peerless Mermaid

Chen Wei, a mechanical mermaid modified by the First Technology Group, receives a secret mission to seduce Huo Ningzeng, the head of the largest weapons manufacturer, and obtain the location of his classified military factory.

According to rumor, Huo Ningzeng is a debauched and perverted King of Hell who kills without a second thought and inspires terror wherever he goes. Countless people want the location of the classified military factory, but every elite operative sent by the various factions has failed to return.

Chen Wei enters the dragon's lair alone. Everyone thinks he will meet a gruesome end.

During his first attempt at surveillance, he gets caught halfway through. The King of Hell glares coldly. "Try that again, and I won't go easy on you."

Everyone is stunned: The King of Hell caught him, and he's getting another chance?

Chen Wei finds a way to become the King of Hell's bodyguard, then seizes another opportunity to investigate. His operation is exposed again.

The King of Hell flies into a rage and locks him up as punishment. "You crossed the line. Get out, and don't come back."

Everyone is shocked: Crossing the King of Hell's line only gets you kicked out?

Heartbroken, Chen Wei leaves the King of Hell and abandons his mission, but his boss forces him back to continue working by the King of Hell's side.

At last, he reaches the classified military factory, but just as he's about to escape, he gets caught red-handed. The King of Hell's voice is low and cold. "This time, I won't let you go."

Everyone: He's done for.

Chen Wei: I'm done for.

The King of Hell: "Unless you tell me you love me."

Chen Wei: "???"

Everyone's eyes go wide with shock: This isn't how the story is supposed to go!!!

Huo Ningzeng had long known that Chen Wei had ulterior motives for approaching him. At first, he only intended to use him to gather information in return.

The little mermaid, rumored to love desserts and be sweet and adorable, could knock several people down with one hand when he fought.

The little mermaid, rumored to be delicate and frail, could scale walls, soar through the sky, and dive into the sea at a moment's notice.

The little mermaid, rumored to wake up crying from nightmares, could handle himself with ease on a dangerous battlefield under a hail of bullets.

Huo Ningzeng: Rumors do a lot of harm.

Chen Wei is exceptionally capable, a "special talent" coveted by every major underground organization.

Huo Ningzeng commands the strongest team in the stars and is the number-one assassination target for every major underground organization.

Yet Chen Wei became Huo Ningzeng's most capable assistant. Together, they were a perfect match, conquering every obstacle.

The various organizations trembled: This joke has gone too far!!!

Everyone said Huo Ningzeng was invulnerable. He had never liked attachments and hated having weaknesses, yet he made a solemn promise to the little mermaid:

"For you, I'll grow scales along my spine and offer you armor hard as steel. Even if the whole world turns against you, I'll hold you in my arms."

Huo Ningzeng: I pass through a thousand flowers, and every petal clings to me. I'm charming, but never attached.

Chen Wei: I pass through a thousand flowers, and every flower loves me. I'm fickle, yet devoted to one.

*Please leave a star for my pre-release story: The Infinite Rewind Company (infinite-flow):

In recent years, bizarre disappearances have become more and more frequent. Once someone vanishes, it's as if they have evaporated from the world, never to be found again. No one knows whether they're alive or dead.

After investigating, Shen Yin, the newly appointed head of the Department of Unusual Investigations, discovered that all the missing people had once visited a place called The Infinite Rewind Company. He decided at once to investigate for himself.

The first time he opened the door, he scrutinized the man sitting behind the counter in a dim room with old-fashioned decor. The man wore a long robe and leisurely waved a paper fan. A large, stylish "God" was written on the front of the fan, and "Seek" on the back.

Shen Yin eyed him suspiciously. "You're the owner here, Shen Mi?"

Shen Mi smiled mysteriously. "That would be me."

Shen Yin: "What kind of business do you run here?"

Shen Mi closed his fan and pointed at the sign on the wall. "An infinite number of chances to start over in life." Then he snapped the fan open again and began waving it. "Return to any point in the life you want to revisit, and start over."

Shen Yin: "Any point in time?"

Shen Mi: "Any point in time."

Shen Yin: "As many times as you want?"

Shen Mi: "As many times as you want."

"However..." Shen Mi closed his fan again and pointed at another sign. "You have to follow my three rules."

Shen Yin leaned across the counter. "What happens if I don't?"

"I especially like..." Shen Mi leaned out from behind the counter, opened his fan to hide half his face, and revealed a pair of foxlike eyes brimming with sly, uncanny amusement. "People who refuse to listen and have a taste for adventure."

After an in-depth investigation, Shen Yin finally discovered why those people had vanished. He opened that door again.

Shen Yin: "Boss Shen, don't you think you owe me an explanation?"

Shen Mi: "Chief Shen, don't you know more details than I do?"

Shen Yin visited the "company" more and more often, and his investigations grew increasingly detailed. Shen Mi couldn't take it anymore and decided to run, but Shen Yin caught him in the act.

Just as Shen Mi thought he was about to be taken in for questioning, Shen Yin pinned him against the counter.

Shen Yin: "Boss Shen, be my boyfriend."

Shen Mi: "???"

But after another round of investigation, Shen Yin discovered that those people hadn't simply vanished. They had...

For the nth time, he opened that door.

Shen Yin: "My little fox, I've discovered your biggest secret."

Shen Mi sat silently in the shadows. Shen Yin bent down and kissed him.

"I'll break the chains binding you."

A fiercely curious black-panther gong who won't stop until he uncovers the truth x a secretive, scheming, smiley fox shou with secrets galore, who hides as much as he can

All in all, it's a story about him running and the other chasing him, until there's nowhere left to run.

1v1, happy ending
