Amateur writer Meng Jiao had a wicked sense of humor and loved the over-the-top melodrama and tortured romance of old-school novels. And tortured romance always meant the leads misunderstanding each other, then threatening to "make the human world / all three realms pay for you" to show the depth of their love and hate.
Then one day, she found herself inside one of the old-fashioned tragic romances she'd written.
She had become one of the people destined to be sacrificed along with the human world / all three realms.
Meng Jiao: ...Thanks, but no thanks. Keep your rabid dogs on a leash.
"So my mission is to save the world?"
"No. Saving the world is the protagonist's job."
"Your mission... is to save the cannon fodder who were supposed to play a part in the leads' tortured romance."
Some were reserved and quiet, others dazzlingly talented, and still others devoted every ounce of themselves to their work. They should have had lives of their own, but because they got caught up in the leads' story, they were forced to become mere supporting characters or even lose their lives, reduced to cannon fodder.
Only by helping them escape their predetermined fates could Meng Jiao leave these pocket worlds and return to reality.
What a headache.
But when she finally completed her missions and could fake her death to escape, she suddenly discovered that none of the cannon fodder seemed quite right anymore!
Cannon Fodder One: A Prince's Mansion's Death Guard, blinded during the mission
Cannon Fodder Two: A dazzling young swordsman from a prestigious orthodox sect
Cannon Fodder Three: A frail elder with a shattered spirit palace
Tips: The heroine is both charming and a bit of a heartbreaker, and knows it. She thinks she's traveling between quick transmigration worlds, but it turns out she's been going around in circles within a single world, and all the cannon fodder end up meeting each other... So there's no avoiding a love polygon. This story is entirely fictional. Readers who are devoted to the male lead, beware.
Theme: Loving yourself is a romantic thing to do.
