Transmigrated as a Cannon Fodder, I Just Want to Build a Career

[Next book preview: I Want to Retire (Entertainment Industry)]

The day after Yu Weixing won the Grand Slam Best Actor title, he woke up in a novel.

In the book, he was a terrible actor who relied on connections, as well as a cannon-fodder character who went mad for love. After the protagonist saved him once, he fell in love with him and drove a wedge between the protagonist and his moonlight. He even nearly killed the moonlight, so the protagonist took brutal revenge. Yu Weixing's family was ruined, and he met a tragic end.

After reading about the original character, Yu Weixing glanced at the protagonist, who was threatening him, said, "Sorry, I don't like you anymore," and promptly turned around and left.

He had no interest in being cannon fodder. He only wanted to devote another hundred years to his career.

After much anticipation, the S+ period martial arts drama The Unrivaled Under Heaven finally announced its lead. But the lead was Yu Weixing?!

Everyone: ???

No way. They refused!

Yet despite the ridicule and boycott from the entire internet, the production company stubbornly refused to replace him.

The netizens all sneered and pushed a trending hashtag: #TheUnrivaledUnderHeavenAndYuWeixingAreBoundToFlopForever#

Not long after, the production company released a few behind-the-scenes clips.

In the clips, Yu Weixing wore white stained with blood, and his fight scene combining a fan and a long sword dazzled everyone. The netizens promptly changed their minds and shouted, "I'm sold!"

Qin Xinghan lost his parents as a child and grew up surrounded by wolves, developing a gloomy and cold-blooded nature.

After personally sending all his enemies behind bars, his life suddenly became dull and boring.

Until he discovered that Yu Weixing, who had been "promised" to him as a child, had changed. He was no longer lovesick, affected, and spoiled. He had become diligent and ambitious, and had even stopped pestering Xie Yuqian and started paying attention to him instead.

Later, at a banquet celebrating Yu Weixing's Best Actor award:

Yu Weixing, slightly tipsy, cornered Qin Xinghan on the balcony, lifted his chin, and smiled. "Do you like me?"

Qin Xinghan looked down at him, amusement in his eyes. "Then will you let me pursue you?"

Looking at the handsome villain, Yu Weixing decided he could have both a career and a love life.

Notes:

1. The setting is fictional. Same-sex marriage is legal.

2. No real celebrities or inspirations. The entire plot is made up, so please keep real life far away from fictional characters.

3. The gong and shou are only involved with each other, both physically and emotionally.

4. There is a secondary CP. They are the original characters from the novel, but their part won't be very large.

Updated daily. I'll take a break if something comes up.

Next book in progress: I Want to Retire (Entertainment Industry)

(Blurb) Jing Li was an optimistic nobody in the entertainment industry who dreamed about a wonderful retirement every day.

One day, his manager called him to the top floor of the company, saying the big boss wanted to see him.

Jing Li, his head full of questions, went into the office.

The person sitting there wasn't the boss, but his idol, Best Actor Ji Yunzhang.

His idol took out a check. "I want you to enter a fake marriage with me. The marriage contract will last three years."

Jing Li was stunned.

Then he accepted in a flash.

That was a hundred million! After three years of acting, he could retire on the spot!

Jing Li beamed and got into character at once, sweetly calling out, "Hubby."

Ji Yunzhang: "...Act normal."

After they got their marriage license and announced it, the whole internet was rocked. Ji Yunzhang's fans cried in droves, their hearts sinking. How had the home they'd guarded for thirty-two years collapsed?

It had to be Jing Li's fault!

The fans quickly found Jing Li's Weibo, ready to vent their anger by insulting him.

But when they opened his Weibo and saw his daily-life photos without makeup: ...He's so handsome!!!

Then they checked his profile: a graduate of A University, winner of national youth dance and piano awards, and the last disciple of Guqin master Old Mr. Yu.

Netizens and Ji Yunzhang's fans: So why is Jing Li such a nobody?
