The Beloved Young Master Cannon Fodder

Gu Congjue is a young master. His father is a self-made billionaire, his mother is a scientist, his older brother is a leading scholar, his childhood friend is a superstar, and his ex is the youngest scientist ever at the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

Gu Congjue grew up surrounded by luxury and adored by everyone. He thought that was just how life was. What he never knew was that he was living inside a novel, where he was a vicious cannon-fodder character and the protagonist, a male lead, was a lowly songbird in their social circle.

Gu Congjue tried to help the injured songbird up, but someone shoved him to the ground and warned him, "Touch him one more time, and see what happens."

His childhood friend immediately knocked the person who pushed him to the ground. "You've got some nerve, bullying my Juejue!"

One rainy day, Gu Congjue gave his umbrella to the songbird and got a little wet himself. That night, his older brother took his temperature all night and tucked extra blankets around him. "Don't ever hurt yourself trying to help someone else again, understand, Juejue?"

Gu Congjue was shoved to the ground by the people who had been ostracizing him. His ex came over and picked him up. "Did you come here to see me? Are you finally giving me another chance? Don't leave me again, Juejue."

It was a very, very long time before Gu Congjue learned that he was the vicious cannon-fodder character in a novel. The strange thing was, the people around him were supposed to revolve around the protagonist, the male lead, but instead, they had loved Gu Congjue all along.

Much, much later, he realized the people around him had known from the very beginning that he was a vicious cannon-fodder character in a novel.

Ex: Even if Juejue is cannon fodder, I'll protect him for the rest of my life.

Childhood friend: I never knew cannon fodder could be this cute. Maybe it's because this one is Juejue.

Secret admirer: He's clearly just a little cannon-fodder character, a poor little thing, and a little fool, but I can't help falling for Juejue.

Everyone loves Gu Congjue. He's unaware he's everyone's favorite.

Gu Congjue is a cannon-fodder character with the personality of a naive, adorable young master. He's not vicious and has never hurt anyone.
