You Call This a Cannon Fodder Heroine?

[Currently serializing, updates whenever inspiration strikes; not contracted]

After her boyfriend proposed, Jiang He learned that she was a supporting character in a wealthy-family entertainment-industry novel. The hero and heroine were locked in a torturous romance: she ran, he chased, and in the end they let go of their grievances and spent their lives together. As for her, the cannon-fodder supporting character, she would be publicly abandoned, disgraced, and driven out of the industry in misery.

Jiang He: ?

An ex is an ex, but this one should come with a criminal record.

Since the entertainment industry has no place for her, she might as well tear off her mask and do whatever she wants.

Netizens were astonished to see the industry's famously gentle little white flower transform into a vicious thorny rose, tearing into scumbags and trampling on two-faced sweethearts, all while rushing to the front lines of gossip and snark.

One second, on a variety show's livestream: "Yes, yes, you're absolutely right. Only you could paint an old cucumber green and still look plain, while playing around like a pro."

The next, on set: "No one is indispensable. A fish can still be fried, boiled, steamed, deep-fried, or roasted after it leaves the water."

Facing accusations from her antis, Jiang He looked teary-eyed. "I'm just a little sharp-tongued. Deep down, I'm actually pretty awful too."

Jiang He: What's wrong with a cannon-fodder supporting character being a little willful? ^_^

Just as she was getting ready to leave the industry and enjoy a peaceful retirement, she suddenly realized...

Huh? Why hadn't she been blacklisted yet?!

...And where did this luxury brand endorsement and leading role script come from?!

The audience wailed: "Without Jiang He, who would treat me like a child? She's so young. How could she lie?"

What's more, the man she used to order around and boss about lowered his eyes and asked softly:

"...Does what you said about going public still stand?"

Liang Shiyu, a newly acclaimed top-tier star who had just won Best Newcomer, had a refined, aloof face and indifferent eyes. His cool, distant manner had millions of movie fans completely smitten.

Now, he was the center of attention, basking in glory. But all Jiang He could think of was the day they first met, when she slammed a door in someone's face for the first time in her life.

Years later, she slammed that door again, hurriedly clutching her clothes, her fair face flushed with anger.

Their breaths mingled.

His slightly rough fingertips brushed the redness welling at the corner of her eye.

"I'm sorry," he said. "Next time, I'll be gentler."

A sweet 1v1 romance in the entertainment industry; boarding-school fiction; a step-sibling romance with no blood relation; two-year age gap.

Actually, it's an ultra-sweet, clingy romance.

"Radiant and proud & cool and reserved"

As a reigning star in the entertainment industry, Xie Miyian came from a wealthy family and was dazzling and proud. Her red-carpet looks regularly topped trending searches, and she dominated the industry with her irresistible chemistry with her co-stars, staying firmly on top.

Until the System told her: "You're a supporting character in an entertainment-industry novel..."

Xie Miyian took off her sunglasses, revealing a flawless, otherworldly face as beautiful as a hibiscus.

"Wait," she said, confusion in her lovely eyes, an expression even her acting skills couldn't quite manage. "Why aren't I the heroine? I can pay extra."

Lu Xun made his debut as a newcomer. Though he came from a poor family, his striking looks and acting talent, along with a role that lasted less than ten minutes, helped him carve out a place for himself in the entertainment industry.

But life is unpredictable. With nowhere else to turn, he found a delicate hand holding a business card and slipping it inside his collar.

The cold, sharp edge grazed his collarbone, coming close to his throat.

"Why me?"

Lu Xun's voice was hoarse as he struggled to look up.

"You have an extraordinary face, excellent bone structure, and your birth chart is a perfect match for mine..."

Xie Miyian reached out to him, looking a little embarrassed. "...In short, you're destined to bring good fortune to your wife."

Lu Xun's brow twitched.

What a pathetic excuse.

Xie Miyian knew exactly what kind of person the male lead she'd dragged off the plot was. With his jade-like face and cool, aloof, celibate air, he was a distant beauty on a high peak, someone you could admire but never reach.

So all she wanted was to complete her mission, change her fate, and return Lu Xun to his millions of devoted fans as soon as possible.

Until one day, someone who rarely logged into Weibo suddenly posted an intimate photo no one had ever seen.

Two figures were entwined in the photo, nestled together like lovers, with a chubby little white dog sleeping beside them.

Lu Xun LX: "If you knew who the child's mother was, you'd think I was lucky too. [Image]"

Three minutes after the post went live, Weibo crashed and the system went down. Before the System could shut down, Xie Miyian let out a piercing shriek:

"You said it was only the wish he wanted most in his heart...!!"

Huh...?
