Does a Cannon Fodder Have to Cling to the Main Character?

After an accident, Xi Suichu suddenly awakened to the truth: he was a cannon-fodder scum bottom in an old-school wish-fulfillment novel from LJW.

In the story, Xi Suichu was snobbish, greedy, and vain.

According to the plot, he was about to dump his boyfriend of three years, a pure-hearted first love who had no money and hadn’t even held his hand.

Yes, that’s right.

The one he was about to abandon was none other than the protagonist gong, Xie Tinglan, who was pretending to be a pig while eating the tiger.

Xi Suichu’s cannon-fodder plot began at this point. One cannon-fodder character, doing double duty: he wasn’t just the ex-boyfriend who would later be face-slapped and taught a lesson by the protagonist gong. He was also the vicious fake young master from a wealthy family who had accidentally switched identities with the protagonist shou and usurped his place!

Xi Suichu: Real dog-blood melodrama, just the way I like it.

Following the standard plot, after enduring a series of face-slapping and humiliation, the hopeless version of him would be kicked out by his wealthy adoptive parents and sent back to his hometown. And, sure enough, he’d be waiting there for a pair of awful biological parents. In the end, his gambling-addict father would torment him until he died miserably on the street.

His awakening had come early, so there was still time to change everything, as long as he...

“Break up?”

At dusk, in a coffee shop.

Xie Tinglan picked up his coffee and took a small sip, as if he’d just heard an unbelievable joke. A cold snort escaped him. “Xi Suichu, don’t regret this.”

A slender, well-knuckled hand tapped the tabletop. On the sofa across from him, Xi Suichu suddenly looked up and stared straight at Xie Tinglan. A playful smile touched the corner of his eye, and his expression was cool and languid.

“Regret it? I regret it so much. I regret not breaking up with you sooner! Three years and you wouldn’t even let me hold your hand. My mouth’s gone completely flavorless. Not even a dog would date you! We’re breaking up, right now. Whoever doesn’t is a grandson!”

As the protagonist gong, Xie Tinglan was naturally good-looking. But this was a novel where both leads were virgins. The protagonist gong strictly followed the rules of chastity, leaving Xi Suichu, who before awakening had been hopelessly love-struck, to live like a widow.

Just because he knew the plot, did he have to cling to the protagonist’s coattails?

Xi Suichu refused. The path to wealth was right in front of him, so why wait? Wasn’t it better to become the protagonist himself?

A man devoted to his career couldn’t be too unlucky, and before long, Xi Suichu found himself in a second spring of romance.

Xie Zhiwei was a dazzling, flamboyant man with a face straight out of a character-design model.

He was exactly Xi Suichu’s type, and he’d even delivered himself right to his door. How could Xi Suichu refuse?

After they’d been together for a while, Xi Suichu realized something was off.

He wouldn’t let him hold his hand, watch him change, or even touch his abs...

Xi Suichu: ?

Could this be another side couple that hadn’t been made official?

Xi Suichu, who had no interest in a chaste relationship, changed his expression in a second. “I loved you. I saved you. I even wrote your name down. This isn’t working. Let’s break up.”

Something in those words must have flipped a switch in Xie Zhiwei. The man lifted his shirt himself, revealing a smooth, taut set of abs. He turned his face away, his gorgeous eyes darting shyly from side to side. “Don’t break up. You can... touch them.”

Reading guide:

1. The shou is naturally a little clueless, and there’s absolutely no angst.

2. Make big money and get rich.

3. The original protagonist gong has a role, but he is not the gong!

4. Neither lead is perfect. Please don’t flame the story if you dislike them.

5. The author writes like an elementary school student and has no grasp of logic, so don’t overanalyze.
