The Gloomy, Hated Drama Queen Became a Minor Cannon Fodder

Wei Jinqiu was a gloomy villain in a novel. By the rules of the story, despite being the big bad, he was only a minor cannon-fodder character.

Everyone else had peerless martial arts, while all he could do was poison people, and he wasn't even very good at it. He spent his days looking for ways to get himself killed and picking fights with the righteous martial world, until the poison he flung was carried by the wind back onto him. He died.

On the brink of death, his mind was unusually clear. He heard a ding, then an emotionless mechanical voice rang out: "Congratulations, Host, on completing your cannon-fodder villain mission and making a glorious return. As a reward, you have earned a vacation. Have a pleasant trip!"

When he opened his eyes again, he had become a gloomy, temperamental little cannon-fodder character whom everyone hated by day and beat up by night.

The little cannon-fodder had terrible acting skills and a chaotic private life. He also clung to men, liked setting up rich men in the industry with honey traps, and even tried to record the whole thing to blackmail them for money.

When Wei Jinqiu transmigrated, his target, the rich man Fei Yang, had already been tied up like a pretzel. His clothes had been stripped off, and he had been posed in front of a camera. His eyes, blazing with shame and fury, glared at Wei Jinqiu.

Wei Jinqiu gave a cold laugh.

The next second, he expressionlessly grabbed an ashtray to kill the witness, but twisted his ankle and slammed the ashtray into his own head, successfully knocking himself into the rich man's arms and passing out.

Wei Jinqiu: "..." Where was that huge ring of protective demonic energy I had?

Fei Yang: "..."

Just then, a large group of reporters burst through the door, and camera flashes went off in a frenzy.

The next day, the top families of the capital, the Wei and Fei families, arranged a marriage to save face. Wei Jinqiu and Fei Yang were handed a marriage certificate. With sour expressions, they agreed on three rules: live together but sleep separately, and get divorced promptly when the agreement expires.

Later...

Wei Jinqiu played himself, becoming famous for his gloomy, temperamental, ridiculous antics. He went from universally hated to universally adored, becoming a hot star in the entertainment industry.

- Boohoo, I want to marry Wei Jinqiu. He's so handsome!

- Boohoo, I want to marry him too. I can bring a hundred million as my dowry.

- Make way, it's my turn. I'm Jinqiu's favorite baby, boohoo!

Fei Yang looked at all these entertainment industry stars and wealthy heirs from first-, second-, and third-generation families: ?

Much later...

Fei Yang smiled. "Wei Jinqiu is a married man. Don't bother him or tag him. Thank you."
