The Beautiful Cannon Fodder Awakens

Blurb:

One day, Li Zhu awakened to self-awareness and learned that he was a cannon-fodder character in a novel where everyone falls for the protagonist. According to the story, he would be abandoned by his fiance, have his luck stolen by the protagonist Shou, and eventually meet his end because of him.

The protagonist Shou was his second senior brother, Jiang Xueqi. According to the book, Jiang Xueqi was supposed to be a villain. But the first time Li Zhu saw him, the young man was sitting weakly in a wheelchair, his striking beauty as delicate as porcelain.

He couldn't lift a finger or carry a burden, so Li Zhu's heart softened, and he lent him a hand.

He taught him to speak, then to walk and practice swordsmanship.

When someone bullied the frail protagonist Shou, Li Zhu indignantly stepped in to help him fight back.

When the protagonist Shou was framed and thrown in prison, Li Zhu couldn't bear to leave him alone and stayed by his side.

The first words the protagonist Shou ever spoke were Li Zhu's name.

The first time he stood and walked, he copied Li Zhu's posture.

The first spiritual treasure he ever received, he gave to Li Zhu as a gift.

The events in the book came true one by one.

Li Zhu was abandoned by his fiance, and the protagonist Shou took over his fiance's title.

The protagonist Shou stole his luck, and as a result, stuck by Li Zhu every day, unwilling to leave his side for even a moment.

He even nearly died because of the protagonist Shou, and could only lie in bed each day to recover.

Only belatedly did Li Zhu realize: "..." Something seemed off.

He kicked the young man beside his bed to the floor. The young man was devastatingly beautiful, his eyes brimming with overwhelming possessiveness.

He leaned close and gently kissed Li Zhu's ankle.
