The Cannon Fodder Family Feasts on Inner Thoughts

[Completed. Currently serializing: Awakening the Truth-Telling Art and Returning to Reality. Coming soon: Since Things Have Come to This, Let's Dream First] Ji Yuxi was an obscure little System. After retiring, he was granted the chance to live a complete life. By arrangement of the master system, he was reborn in a book he had entered as a System, in a version where multiple worlds overlapped, with the ability to let his inner thoughts slip out. Everything about this world was great, except that his whole family were doomed supporting characters. His father had once been the richest man in City D, controlling half of its wealth, but in the end he was buried in debt, with his family torn apart. His mother had been a wealthy heiress. She and his father had been a perfect match, deeply in love, yet she ended up disgraced and abandoned in old age. His eldest brother was a business prodigy who dominated the business world in his early twenties. Then an "accident" left him half-paralyzed, and his wife abandoned him. His second brother was a top student, but just as he was about to be recommended for graduate school, he somehow became a murder suspect and was imprisoned for life. Faced with this hell-mode opening, Ji Yuxi wanted to die on his very first day after arriving. [Why, why, why is this happening? Is the whole family doomed?!] His entire family was stunned. What did you say?! * When Ji Yuxi arrived, the younger brother of his brother's future sister-in-law, a shameless woman who spoiled her brother rotten, had gotten his girlfriend pregnant. She was going through a list of assets to prepare a bride price for her brother. Ji Yuxi silently complained to himself: [You're addicted to being a sucker. Your future sister-in-law has three boyfriends, and your brother is number three. The baby might not even be his.] Eldest Brother Ji: "!!!" Later, his eldest brother got divorced and gave Ji Yuxi a sports car. Ji Yuxi: [...Thanks, but I don't have a driver's license yet.] The director of Ji Kang Hospital introduced his talented son-in-law to the Ji family. The son-in-law was handsome, refined, and polite. Ji Yuxi: [Could this son-in-law be the murderer in that wife-killing case?] The Ji family was stunned. A wife-killing case? He killed the director's daughter?! Later, the murderer was arrested, and the director's daughter gave Ji Yuxi a huge art case. Ji Yuxi happily painted a picture of a flying dragon bursting from the water and gave it to... Xun He, whom he had only just met. Ji Yuxi's second brother brought a classmate home. Ji Yuxi stared for a while, then suddenly exclaimed inwardly: [Holy crap, Second Brother brought his boyfriend home!] Second Brother Ji, outed just like that, broke into a cold sweat. Later, their parents took it well, and Second Brother Ji gave all his pocket money to Ji Yuxi. Ji Yuxi: [Second Brother, you're much better at choosing gifts than Eldest Brother.] Eldest Brother Ji: "..." Xun He invited Ji Yuxi over to his place. Ji Yuxi: [Damn, something's going on between your uncle and your cousin's wife!] Xun He: "..." Ji Yuxi's mother had long supported children left behind in a certain rural area, and once invited Ji Yuxi to join a donation ceremony. Ji Yuxi: [Wait, is this the town where that incident happens later? The left-behind children sexual exploitation case?] His mother: "!!!" * A few years later, Ji Yuxi's family was still happy, and doing even better than before. None of the original plot events had happened. After much puzzling, Ji Yuxi finally realized: [So the whole family was reborn! There's no need for me to worry at all. I can just relax and be a lazy fish!] His entire family: "...That's not it. Let us explain!"

[Next book: Awakening the Truth-Telling Art and Returning to Reality] Chi Yu was born into a wealthy family, but both his parents died when he was young. He lived with an uncle and aunt who didn't care much for him, and even his childhood friend and fiance broke off their engagement. By chance, Chi Yu became stranded in a game, where he studied advanced mind-reading and truth-telling arts under his master. On the day he completed his training, he returned to reality. From then on, the world opened up to him in a different way. His uncle and aunt's shocking romantic entanglement; The reasons behind his childhood friend's decision to break off their engagement; And why Gu Yuan was banned from competing. Gossip was both a tool and a form of confrontation. As the scandals multiplied, the true shape of the whole affair gradually came to light. It turned out his parents had died as part of a conspiracy, and the conspiracy had never stopped. The awakening of mind-reading and truth-telling wasn't about satisfying curiosity. The purpose was to seek truth and justice. * On the day he returned, his aunt claimed that some valuable jewelry had gone missing, intending to frame Chi Yu and drive him out. Chi Yu: "Didn't you give it to that young lover of yours, the one surnamed Zhao?" His aunt's expression changed. "Nonsense! I... I did give it to him. He said it didn't look good on me." * His childhood friend and former fiance sternly warned him: "I'm engaged now. We're in love, so stop pestering me." Chi Yu: "Oh? Didn't you pursue him after finding out he was the richest man's son? Even though the richest man still has no intention of acknowledging him." His former fiance panicked. "You're talking nonsense! We're in love! I mean, I really do love money." * One time, Gu Yuan was going to break up with him: Gu Yuan: "Let's break up. I don't... Don't break up with me! Please, I can't live without you." Chi Yu: "Tsk. Say that one more time?" Reader's guide: 1. The game setting is my own invention. 2. One-on-one romance, happy ending. Set in a fictional world, with no characters based on real people.
