A Cannon Fodder's Guide to Staying Alive (Transmigrating into a Book)

1.

Shen Qiao transmigrated into a book and became cannon fodder, infamous for supposedly causing the death of the heroine, Shen Xue. She became the target of revenge by Shen Xue's admirers. The male lead won the beauty and kept her hidden away, while every male supporting character was heartbroken. They all believed Shen Qiao had killed Shen Xue, and each found a way to torment her and take her life.

As Shen Qiao recalled the story, she remembered that she would end up with crippled legs, blind eyes, and eventually be deaf and mute. When she died, no one would even claim her body. They would wrap her in a straw mat and throw her into a mass grave. There was no word for it but tragic.

By the time she transmigrated, one of her legs had already been broken. Shen Qiao looked at it and thought, All right, first I need to get my leg treated and save my life.

Through her efforts, she uncovered why the male lead and the other men loved Shen Xue: Shen Xue had stolen the original owner's opportunities. Shen Qiao managed to stay alive for the time being, but was forced into a political marriage with Northern Xiao. And her intended was none other than one of Shen Xue's admirers.

The problem was that this admirer was a lunatic of a villain, who nearly took the male lead and the other male characters down with him.

Wasn't this driving her into a dead end? She would have to keep fighting to stay alive.

Later, Shen Qiao discovered a secret: the villain wasn't one of Shen Xue's admirers. At last, she wouldn't have to struggle so hard to survive.

But before Shen Qiao could celebrate, she uncovered an earth-shattering secret: she and the villain were enemies.

Shen Qiao questioned her life. Why was staying alive so hard?

At first, Xiao Heng approached Shen Qiao only to use her, hoping to turn her into a weapon against his stepmother, the Empress. Before he knew it, he had fallen in love with that weapon. When he truly lost her, Xiao Heng went mad, his black hair turning white overnight.

Only then did everyone realize that Xiao Heng had fallen in love, and that his feelings had taken root long ago. Sadly, his beloved was gone, with no chance of returning.
