The Cannon Fodder Wins by Lying Low After Her Thoughts Are Read

My dears, the novel is complete! It will be fully released on July 20, 2024. Thank you all for your support and companionship along the way!

Please bookmark my upcoming novel, "Surprise! The Baby's Dad Is a Big Shot"!

Blurb:

In her previous life, Shen Weiyi followed her biological father's arrangements and married into a wealthy family as part of a business alliance. After unexpectedly becoming famous in the entertainment industry, she also followed her stepmother's wishes and signed with her stepbrother's talent agency.

Who knew her career would go nowhere, and that the entire internet would hate her? Carrying a sense of guilt, she returned to the Shen family villa to recuperate, only to accidentally discover that her seemingly kind stepmother and her family had deliberately used her to create a notorious public image and make money.

Her biological father, who had repeatedly claimed he wanted the best for her and urged her to marry into a wealthy family, had actually wanted the enormous bride price from the rich family for himself.

Shen Weiyi was so furious that she spat blood and died on the spot.

Only after death did she learn that her stepbrother was the villainous second male lead in a wish-fulfillment novel, and she was an unnamed cannon-fodder character whose only purpose was to show how awful her stepmother's family was.

What the hell... this is such a load of crap!

When Shen Weiyi opened her eyes again, she was back three years in the past.

She decisively took back ownership of the villa, clung to her husband, and made a name for herself in the entertainment industry.

--

When Shen Weiyi returned to the past, she had only recently married into a wealthy family.

According to the book's plot, her CEO husband, Lu Xiao, was a ruthless industry elite who flew overseas to expand his business on their wedding night.

But he gave her ten million in spending money every month!

How was that not a cheat code for life?!

Shen Weiyi gazed happily at the ten million that had appeared in her account out of nowhere. Then she looked up and saw Lu Xiao, who should have been overseas, standing by her bed.

Why was he still here?

No matter. As long as she remembered that Lu Xiao "hates stupid subordinates who talk too much," she could laze around in a mansion, earn ten million a month while doing nothing, and reach the pinnacle of life.

--

On the third day of their marriage, Lu Xiao noticed that his newlywed wife was bold and combative outside the house, but as obedient as a rabbit at home, hardly ever speaking.

Even stranger, a string of words kept scrolling above her head:

He sends his men to help his wife with some face-slapping against a scheming woman:

[Why am I suddenly so scared? My fake husband is helping me so much. Is he planning to cheat on me?]

He prepares a private study and a meeting room for his wife at the Lu family villa:

[My fake husband really is pretty great. Even if he really does cheat on me, I think I could accept it?]

He gives his wife a newly acquired entertainment company to practice running:

[My fake husband, I'm crying. Even if he's fake, the job opportunities he gives me are real!]

Lu Xiao: ...

Lu Xiao, an atheist, absolutely refuses to believe he's possessed.

The next day, he goes to the psychiatric department of the best hospital in the area.

Upcoming novel blurb: "Surprise! The Baby's Dad Is a Big Shot"

Lin Jinxi, a newcomer in the entertainment industry, makes her debut with striking, high-contrast features. After she refuses to sleep her way to the top, a sleazy director repeatedly suppresses and blacklists her.

The director declares, "If you don't know what's good for you, I'll kick you out of the entertainment industry!"

Lin Jinxi packs her things and prepares to leave the set, but unexpectedly runs into a three-year-old girl hurrying toward her.

The little girl's eyes sparkle as she clutches Lin Jinxi's skirt. She turns to look at a man ten meters away, cool and decisive, reputed to be the top powerbroker in business.

In a childish voice, she calls, "Daddy, Mommy is here! Take Mommy home, quack!"

The System tells Lin Jinxi that she's a cannon-fodder villainess in an entertainment-industry novel, and Lili is the child she'll have in five years.

To put everything back in its proper place, she has to unlock all the plot missions in the book.

The first mission is #Rip the sleazy director to shreds, then go home with the villainous big shot Lu Yuqi.

Lin Jinxi: ???

Is the System crazy, or am I?

Meeting Lu Yuqi's calm, steady gaze, Lin Jinxi refuses to give up and asks, "Excuse me, this child is...?"

Lu Yuqi: "According to the DNA test, she's ours."

Lu Yuqi is the eldest son of the top-tier Lu family. His two younger brothers are highly capable and no pushovers. They're always ready to stir things up in the business world and fight for the Lu empire's inheritance.

But the clever three-year-old Lili realizes that everything has changed since her father brought her mother home.

Her scheming business-genius second uncle gives up fighting for power and stops trying to set traps. Every day, he studies early childhood education on an app.

"Sister-in-law, let me look after Lili! Keep an eye on my big brother, please. Yesterday, he cut the limits on all my cards. How awful!"

When asked why, he says, "I'd rather stay home and take care of Lili than work like a donkey for my big brother. With you around, surely he won't stop supporting me, right?"

Her arrogant, overbearing top-tier star of a little uncle stops acting and accepting work. He spends all day blocking the entrance to the Lu family villa.

"Sister-in-law, I'll take Lili to kindergarten! Please talk to my big brother. Yesterday, he scolded me in front of my buddies. I'm so upset!"

When asked why, he says, "So what if I stop working? My big brother works hard at the Lu Group every day. With you around, surely he'll keep supporting me, right?"

After working overtime at the Lu Group for a whole week, Lu Yuqi arrives home late at night to find the villa brightly lit. His two younger brothers are wrapped in blankets, refusing to leave the living room.

With a cold gaze and a gloomy expression, the man calls for the butler. "Throw out numbers two and three."

If those two keep hanging around, how is he supposed to look after the baby and win his wife back?

Theme: Even when life is difficult, be brave and strong, and look forward to a better future.
