A Heartthrob Wanders Into the Cannon Fodder Film Set

After surveying the many cannon-fodder characters across numerous timelines, Ji Yu summed up the essentials of playing a cannon-fodder role:

First, be stupid and mean enough;

Second, always leave your name behind when you do something bad;

Third, forget the first two points entirely,

because no matter what, the timelines are going to fall apart spectacularly.

*World One

A cocky, silly little fox × a deceptively scheming black-and-white wolf demon king

The battered little fox lay in the wind and rain. He was carefully picked up in someone's jaws and carried back to their den.

"Don't be afraid," he murmured to himself. "Once I've killed them all, no one will know you ever betrayed the demon clan."

*World Two

A gloomy, insecure male college student × a sunny, cheerful athlete

The sun was dazzling enough to scorch a person, yet it never shone on the bottom of the shadowy canyon.

Thinking this, he stood perfectly still.

In a corner where no one could see, darkness devoured the sun, and its light became a solid cage.

*World Three

An unscrupulous exorcist × a vengeful ghost who serves as a walking blood bank

By day, he stood on a high platform, an untouchable beauty in the eyes of everyone around him.

No one knew that beneath his clothes, his skin was covered in bruises and hickey marks.

At night, the ghost moistened his fingertips and slipped them between his lips, silencing his repeated whimpers.

Note:

I'm very sorry, but after such a long time, I can't find any inspiration for the original mermaid world. I'll also make some changes to the worlds that follow. After this story ends, I'll finish that one as an extra. Thank you, everyone!

The worlds may not appear in the order listed in the blurb, and there are other worlds besides the ones described here.

The gong is weak. Even if he isn't weak, he'll have various debuffs, such as being injured, sickly, or disabled. In some worlds, the gong gives birth. No role reversal.

Mindless, indulgent, everyone-loves-him story. Recommended to read without overthinking.
