There has always been a certain kind of person in this world known as a cannon fodder character.

In a world destined to revolve around the protagonist, he is a scrap at society's edges and a stepping stone for the protagonist.

When the protagonist needs someone to cause trouble, he becomes a cannon-fodder villain. When the protagonist needs love, he becomes a lovesick extra. When the protagonist needs someone to die, he becomes a nameless passerby.

His life has no meaning. From the moment he is born, he exists to serve the world and its protagonist.

Until one day...

The cannon fodder characters awaken. They flip the table and say, "To hell with being cannon fodder! Whoever wants the job can have it! I'm going to be the protagonist!"

[World One: Cannon-Fodder B-List Actor x Villainous CEO]

Rong Qing is a genius, but ever since childhood he's been bound to a Cannon Fodder System that demands he become a stepping stone for the protagonist. He has to stay a no-name actor in the entertainment industry, playing second fiddle to the protagonist, a Best Actor.

In the end, he even has to serve as a pawn in the protagonist's plan to bring down the villain. He gets sent to the villain's bed, and the next day the media bursts in and catches him and the villain in bed together. From then on, both their reputations are ruined and they become everyone's laughingstock. That is his ridiculous, short life.

After awakening one day, Rong Qing decides to join forces with the villain. To hell with being a stepping stone. To hell with all of it.

The role the protagonist wants, he takes.

The endorsement the protagonist wants, he gets.

When the protagonist makes a bold public announcement about his romance with a wealthy family, Rong Qing... has already become the villain's happily-ever-after, and the two of them are now a model couple.

Rong Qing: Sorry, but I'm going to be the protagonist!

[World Two: Short-Lived White Moonlight x Brooding Heavenly Dao's Leader]

From birth, Shen Changsheng was hailed as Heaven's favored child. His parents and teachers doted on him, his talent was extraordinary, and he was deeply respected within his sect as its senior disciple. Outside the sect, he had friends everywhere. He was unquestionably the leader of the younger generation in the cultivation world, a rising powerhouse destined to ascend.

Until he died young.

He discovered that this world was actually one enormous novel. He was the white moonlight who died young, while the protagonist was his stand-in, beloved by his friends and family because he looked eighty percent like Shen Changsheng.

His parents would love the protagonist as if he were their own child. His master would take the protagonist as his final disciple. His friends would go through fire and water for him. And the child Shen Changsheng had raised from a young age...

Would be branded an irredeemable villain in the novel for scolding the protagonist for being shameless, and would eventually die pierced by countless arrows.

Shen Changsheng had already died and been buried in the ground. His body was long gone. But when he saw this scene, he clawed his way out of the earth. "To hell with the protagonist! How dare he hurt my child! You can all die!"

And so, in the celestial realm, where heroes gathered...

The departed Immortal Venerable stood calmly, his robes fluttering as he seemed to drift like an immortal. He smiled at those from his past.

[The white moonlight who died young has returned. What will you, the stand-in, do now?]

[World Three: Cannon-Fodder Demon Venerable x Immortal Venerable]

Yan Fu was a Demon Venerable. Born into poverty, he struggled his way up in the demon realm and finally killed everyone he hated to claim the highest seat of power. Then, out of nowhere, he was bound to a Cannon Fodder System.

Yan Fu had to become the devoted lackey of a mortal cultivator, serving him hand and foot, pouring all his heart and soul into him, and being heartbroken over him. He even had to declare war on his arch-enemy for his sake.

The Immortal Venerable, his arch-enemy, was the mortal cultivator's white moonlight. So Yan Fu got jealous and swore to kill him. Who knew that, in front of everyone, the Immortal Venerable would humiliate him instead?

On the day he stormed the immortal mountain, Yan Fu awakened. To hell with being a lovesick lackey. Everyone could go to hell.

In full view of the crowd, he reached out to the Immortal Venerable.

"I've come to ask for your love, Immortal Venerable. Will you be my partner?"

[Upcoming story next door: Becoming the Leads of a Smutty Novel with My Nemesis]

Gu Xie and Xia Ruo have never gotten along. From school to inheriting their family businesses, they've been famous for being at each other's throats.

No one knows that the two are childhood friends, whose parents are close enough to share New Year's Eve dinner every year.

Even less likely, after they finish one such dinner, they open their eyes and find themselves as the leads of a smutty novel.

Gu Xie becomes the protagonist top, who has had a crush on the protagonist bottom since childhood. After the bottom goes bankrupt, Gu Xie takes him by force, doing all sorts of things but never actually saying what he feels. Xia Ruo becomes the protagonist bottom, who was pampered since childhood, but goes bankrupt overnight and is forced into a marriage alliance with the protagonist top's family. He'll give the top anything except his love.

The two of them are trapped in a room, with a wide screen hanging in front of them.

[Don't have sex or die.]

They're supposed to be enemies. How could they possibly have sex?

Gu Xie turns to Xia Ruo and curses. "What the hell, how could we possibly..."

Xia Ruo has already started taking off his clothes.

His white shirt bunches at his waist, and his collarbones are deep enough to keep fish. "What were you saying?"

Dazzled, Gu Xie readily changes his tune. "How could we not? Do you want to wait around and die?"

Gu Xie and Xia Ruo diligently play the leads in a smutty novel.

They start every morning with a kiss before heading out.

They regularly report to their friends about their love-hate relationship.

When they meet, their words are full of contempt, but their gazes are so full of love they could melt.

Even though they sleep in each other's arms every night, there isn't a trace of real affection between them. They only want to stay alive!

·

Gu Xie has always thought Xia Ruo was genuinely afraid of dying, which was why he closed his eyes and had sex with his nemesis.

Then one day, Gu Xie returns home from a business trip. The lights are dim, and the room is filled with heat and desire.

Xia Ruo is curled up on their bed, wearing Gu Xie's shirt, his face flushed as he softly calls Gu Xie's name.

And Gu Xie...

Realizes, to his shame, that he's hard.

Damn it! Aren't we supposed to be enemies? How can you seduce me like this!

[Check out my upcoming story next door: After Retiring, I Just Want to Cuddle with My Wife]

Yu Shanyue is an unremarkable infinite-flow player. After clearing every dungeon and successfully retiring, he decides to move to an ordinary world and leave monsters behind for good.

Things go even more smoothly than Yu Shanyue expected. Not only does he open a successful pastry shop, he also finds his beloved.

His beloved is fair-skinned and beautiful, with a gentle personality and an easygoing temper. He and Yu Shanyue are passionately in love, and every time he leaves or comes home, he brings Yu Shanyue a present. Apart from not being very talkative, he's perfect.

Yu Shanyue originally thought he would live an ordinary but happy life like this, until one morning, when he opens the door...

A former underling he once beat up collapses at his door, crying. "My lord!!! Help!!! This world is going to end!!"

Yu Shanyue: ?

·

This world is about to be swallowed by dungeons and turned into a new hell. Everyone will become playthings for monsters.

Yu Shanyue's beloved is beautiful and delicate, and he's too afraid to even kill a chicken. He'd surely be scared to death if he ran into a monster.

So, to preserve their ordinary life, Yu Shanyue decides to destroy the new dungeons before they can swallow the world.

Everything goes very smoothly, though a few little problems come up now and then:

It's hard to get monster blood out of his clothes. It's hard to hide wounds accidentally inflicted by monsters. And Yu Shanyue, who rarely goes out, has to come up with excuses for his frequent trips...

Fortunately, his beloved is so understanding. Yu Shanyue always manages to fool him, and he never suspects a thing. Instead, he thoughtfully tells Yu Shanyue, "Whenever you come home, I'll be here waiting for you."

Yu Shanyue thinks his beloved is the best partner in the world!

Until one day, on his way home after killing monsters, he sees his delicate beloved expressionlessly stab a gigantic tentacled monster to death. Blood pours over his porcelain-white face.

The monster lets out a mournful cry, while his beloved frowns and says

"...My shirt's dirty again. What am I going to tell him when I get home?"

Yu Shanyue: :)

What a coincidence. I was wondering the same thing.
