The Cannon-Fodder Beta Doesn't Want to End Up on the Streets

A spiteful, self-destructive cannon-fodder uke who always gets revenge x a seemingly kind seme with top-tier tea-drinking skills

After getting into a fight with his family over Wen Ruan for the nth time, Wen Han stormed out of the house. As if things weren't bad enough, a bird pooped right on his head.

After that, a System appeared inside him.

The System showed him a sweet campus romance drama. The protagonist uke was Wen Ruan, the protagonist seme was the son of a rising star in Linjin, and Wen Han was a cannon-fodder Beta who kept having hysterics, targeting the protagonist uke at every turn and repeatedly bringing about his own downfall. This made the young heir fly into a rage for his beloved, and Wen Han ended up homeless.

Wen Han nearly passed out from anger after watching it.

After learning he was a cannon-fodder character in a melodramatic campus romance, Wen Han hung two huge characters on his wall.

One said "Revenge!" and the other said "Hate!" Every morning during self-study, he devoted himself to planning his revenge.

A transfer student joined the class. Wen Han looked up with a hostile expression, but his gaze instantly shifted from annoyance to sympathy.

This guy was a cannon-fodder Alpha with an even worse fate than his own!

Under Wen Han's deeply sympathetic gaze, the cannon-fodder Alpha sat down beside him.

Wen Han: ...

Jing Yu: Why does my deskmate hate rich people who are smart, good-looking, and come from good families, but not me?

Wen Han: How could I hate such a tragic cannon-fodder character?

The System was at its wits' end. It seemed to be the only one in the world who'd realized that someone was a green tea.

The first time, it warned Wen Han. Wen Han objected: "Aren't you picking on him a little too much?"

The second time, it warned him again. Wen Han was even more upset: "Why don't you suspect so-and-so and so-and-so, but you suspect Jing Yu? Whose side are you on?"

After posting eight hundred times to ask how to spot a green tea, the System finally couldn't take it anymore: "Host, you seriously haven't realized he's a green tea?"

Wen Han: "..."

A pair of bad-kid lovers at school. If that's not your thing, steer clear.

The uke has a short temper and really does act like a cannon-fodder character. Don't read if that's not for you.

Both are pure, 1v1.

Below is the blurb for the upcoming novel "You're the Green Bamboo Viper!":

Liu Liu is a three-month-old green bamboo snake, the sixth child in his family. He loves nothing more than rare jewels and treasures, and his greatest dream is to cultivate a human form so he can enjoy a life of wealth and luxury. Obsessed with storybooks, he hopes that one day he'll meet a benefactor who can help him become human.

Desperate to experience the splendor of the human world, Liu Liu sneaks down the mountain to play. But while poking his head out to watch the drama, he's mistaken for the green bamboo viper next door and nearly gets killed with a mallet.

You're the green bamboo viper! Your whole family is the green bamboo viper!

With a lump on his head, Liu Liu makes a miserable escape back up the mountain. Unable to hold it in any longer, he finds a cave and starts wailing, only to run into a group of people.

Liu Liu: ...Mom, I'm not coming home for dinner.

Just when Liu Liu thinks he's about to die, his benefactor saves him.

Dazzled by the jade pendant at his benefactor's waist, Liu Liu repays kindness with ingratitude, immediately coiling around him and refusing to let go. When he wakes up, this useless snake has somehow taken human form, and he's still clutching a jade pendant.

A kind young gentleman takes the naked Liu Liu home. His house is drafty on all sides, but he takes meticulous care of Liu Liu. The gentleman is a scholar. Having read too many storybooks, Liu Liu wants to be a virtuous, supportive spouse, but the gentleman tells him he's actually the illegitimate son of an official and is determined to pursue a career in government rather than return to that family.

To repay the gentleman for the clothes and meals he's given him, Liu Liu willingly takes his place and enters the Yue residence. From that day on, he is Yue Zhongyun.

The Yue family recently brought home their illegitimate son, the one they'd kept hidden. He's an empty-headed pretty boy, and the First Madam thinks his pupils are too dark, which must mean he's harboring ill intentions. To humiliate him, she orders him to serve as the legitimate young master's study companion.

Yue Zhongyun is on the verge of tears. Everyone around him has been picking on him since he entered the residence. When he was a snake, he could eat meat all the time. Now every meal is vegetables and tofu. One day, he finds a dried mouse and is roasting it when the legitimate young master and his cousin catch him.

They steal his dried mouse. The legitimate young master is always deliberately making things difficult for him, so Yue Zhongyun bears a grudge and decides to push him into the water. Instead, he falls into the river himself.

Glug, glug...

Wait, I'm a snake. I should know how to swim! He wriggles twice and is just about to swim to shore when someone hauls him out.

Yue Zhongyun spits out a few mouthfuls of water. Through his blurry vision, he suddenly spots a jade pendant identical to his benefactor's.

He immediately pounces on him.
