The Cannon Fodder Villainess Really Wants to Lie Low

A lazy, jaded foodie heroine VS a sweet dumpling of a hero who is kind on the outside and dark within

Only after Yue Jiao died did she learn that she had been living inside the script of a cultivation novel starring a powerful heroine.

As an insignificant supporting character in the story, she lost her parents young, was bullied by her fellow disciples as a teenager, and faced one disappointment after another even after she finally mastered her studies.

By contrast, the heroine, who was the same age as her, came from a prominent family, was doted on by her parents, and cherished by her fellow disciples. Though her cultivation and looks were both inferior to Yue Jiao's, she always won everyone's approval with ease.

Hunting a demon beast.

Yue Jiao fought the beast for three days and three nights without being able to subdue it. The heroine appeared and completed the mission perfectly in less than half an incense stick's time, winning the beast over with the power of love.

Caught in the same danger.

The heroine could be stabbed several times and still survive, because she had a seven-orifice exquisite heart growing on her back. Yue Jiao got the skin on her shoulder cut, nearly losing half her life, simply because the sword that wounded her was rusty.

The author of the story explained it all: the heroine was the heroine because she had the protagonist's halo.

Yue Jiao: To hell with the protagonist's halo!

When she woke again, Yue Jiao had taken over someone's body and arrived ten years in the future, in a world with a completely different setup.

As Yue Fuyao, who had the same cannon-fodder role, Yue Jiao gave up completely.

She wouldn't cultivate immortality or seek the Dao. No matter what she did, it was no match for the protagonist's halo over the heroine's head.

After finally coming back to life, Yue Jiao only wanted to keep herself alive.

Eat when hungry, sleep when tired. Giving up is the true meaning of life.

Until one day, Yue Jiao met the heroine of this world. Forced to team up with her to exorcise evil spirits, Yue Jiao shoved the heroine in front of herself at a critical moment to save her own life.

The heroine: "???"

Yue Jiao: "You might not believe me, but you've got the protagonist's halo. You won't die no matter how badly you're hurt."

The heroine: "So that's why you used me to block a blade?"

When they joined forces to fight demons, the heroine was beaten to the ground by a monster and couldn't even get up. Yue Jiao stayed at a distance and sent her the power of love.

Yue Jiao: "Come on, get up. Believe in yourself."

The heroine: "Could you help me with something other than words?"

Yue Jiao: "I'm a glass cannon. One hit and I'm dead. You're tough, so you can take more hits."

After this happened again and again, the heroine finally couldn't take it anymore. She took the artifact that symbolized her status as the heroine and shoved it into Yue Jiao's hands.

"You're the heroine now."

For five years, Zhong Yuanfeng had the same dream over and over.

There was a woman in his dream: resilient and optimistic, with the whole world in her heart. She saved his life and taught him how to make a living.

Zhong Yuanfeng inevitably fell in love with her. When he woke, the woman disappeared, and even her face grew hazy in his memory.

The dream had felt so real that Zhong Yuanfeng imagined the woman really existed. He searched high and low across the land to meet her, and after five years, the person who haunted his dreams finally appeared before him.

Zhong Yuanfeng stared, then blurted out, "Sister, I finally found you."

Yue Jiao looked at the puppy-eyed young man, whose eyes had immediately gone red, and felt overjoyed.

Here he is! The heroine's one-and-only love interest has finally arrived.

But in the next instant, he wrapped his arms tightly around her, rubbing his face against her neck and whining like a puppy. "Sister, I've missed you so much."

Yue Jiao: Huh?

Wait, you're calling me that?

Reader's guide:

The heroine isn't exactly a good person. She has her own ideas and is vindictive. At the beginning, she'll sacrifice anyone to stay alive. Goody-two-shoes, please steer clear.

An ensemble coming-of-age story. The ending is undecided. The focus is on the plot, with relatively little romance.
