The Little Fool Saves the Tragic-Romance Shou

Pre-order: The Laid-Back Cannon Fodder Is Forced to Save the Unhinged Villain Chi Aibei is extremely fond of tragic, tortured male characters. He finishes reading a vile, badly written novel where a beautiful, miserable male character is abused a thousand times and still gets no happy ending, then lets out a heartfelt "Tsk!" The next morning, he wakes up to find that he has transmigrated into the book, becoming the stupid youngest son in that vicious novel: his father doesn't love him, his mother doesn't care for him, and his older brother is the big villain! Chi Aibei, now a stupid kid, checks his pockets. Great, they're empty. - Lin Xiu is reborn, back in his second year of high school. His grandmother is still alive, He Chenjiang hasn't yet reached out to "help" him, and none of the humiliations that will surround him have happened yet. Given a second chance, Lin Xiu doesn't want to live as miserably as he did in his previous life. Just as he's about to run away from it all, a teary-eyed little fool blocks his path... The school's famously dim-witted kid pulls a meal card from his pocket and holds it out to Lin Xiu in both hands. His eyes shine with something like maternal love. "Big Brother, could you help me get into college? I can pay you." Lin Xiu: Where would an idiot get money... Wait, an idiot wants to go to college? - Gradually, everyone notices that the little fool seems less stupid now that he's away from He Chenjiang. He's even a little too clever, soaring from last place in the grade to second place, and looking like he might overtake the top student. Lin Xiu, the top student: "..." You said you wanted to get into college. You didn't say you wanted to take my spot! Besides making huge strides in his grades, the little fool seems to thrive everywhere. But whenever He Chenjiang approaches, he bristles and hides far away with Lin Xiu. He Chenjiang is a little hurt. "Xiaobei, I'm your big brother Jiangjiang. When you were little, you said you'd marry me when you grew up. Don't you remember?" Lin Xiu coldly pulls the little fool behind him. "What the hell are you thinking?" Looking at Lin Xiu's tall figure, Chi Aibei notices something that doesn't make much sense. How did he end up as tall as He Chenjiang?

The youngest son only flirts for fun; he's not a womanizer. *No romance before college. Pre-order: The Laid-Back Cannon Fodder Is Forced to Save the Unhinged Villain Jiang Bai is very poor, so poor that his pockets contain nothing but the tissues he always carries and two holes. People say the poor shouldn't lack ambition, but Jiang Bai has neither ambition nor a long life. He has a blood-clotting disorder and has always been afraid of getting hurt. Yet while getting ready to give a presentation onstage, he accidentally trips and kills himself. When he opens his eyes again, Jiang Bai has become a rich second-generation heir in a novel, a child who was lost when he was young and later found. The first thing he gets is a kick from his older brother. After being kicked downstairs, Jiang Bai takes his health insurance card to the hospital and gets a full checkup while he's there. The results: he's healthy, and so is his bank account. In the novel, Jiang Bai is tricked by the Jiang family's adopted son into getting into Xie Hui's bed. In the end, Xie Hui imprisons and tortures him to death. Jiang Bai: "...Don't try to set me up. I'm in poor health. You just want me to marry that madman from the Xie family in your place, right? I'll go myself." On their wedding night, Xie Hui comes home to find Jiang Bai wearing a bright red bathrobe, sitting cross-legged on the bed with his pale legs faintly visible and his eyes closed. He looks as though he has seen through the world and is about to shave his head and become a monk. Xie Hui: ...That's certainly a novel way to ruin the mood! After marrying Xie Hui, Jiang Bai discovers that his life is absolutely fantastic. Since Xie Hui is an obsessive madman, nobody dares come to disturb his peace. He can go to class, take care of his health, and still find time to soothe the temper of the volatile big shot by telling him that making money is better than getting angry, and that anger harms the liver. Just as everyone thinks that with Xie San's ruthless nature, anyone sent to live with him will sooner or later be ruined, someone sees Xie Hui cornering Jiang Bai in the banquet hall and coaxing him: "Don't be mad. Getting angry is bad for your health. Why don't you hit me a couple of times and cool off?" The next moment, Jiang Bai slaps Xie Hui across the face... The onlookers are just about to say that Jiang Bai is done for, when they see that the Madman Xie isn't angry at all. He even turns his other cheek toward Jiang Bai. "Want to hit this side too?"
