Baby, You’re a Villainous Cannon Fodder

Pretty, spoiled, and fussy little darling x an overbearing daddy with money to burn

Ten-year age gap | A pampered little cannon-fodder villain in a gilded cage vs. a prim, abstinent, doting supervillain

Zhi Wu was beautiful, but he was awful.

He was spoiled and willful, using his looks to get away with anything.

He bossed around his gentle, considerate fiance, treated his obedient stepbrother like air, and only let his childhood friend play with him.

He treated the men who surrounded him horribly, but they always did whatever he said.

Zhi Wu knew why: they liked him.

Until his nineteenth birthday, when Zhi Wu suddenly realized that he was the vicious cannon-fodder villain in a novel.

His gentle, considerate fiance was only after his family connections. His obedient stepbrother was constantly scheming to seize his fortune. His childhood friend thought he was stupid...

Everyone would fall in love with the novel's protagonist, while Zhi Wu would be disfigured and lose everything, spending the rest of his life in misery.

No one truly loved Zhi Wu, because he was so awful.

Zhi Wu broke down sobbing.

He didn't want to lose the ability to wear beautiful clothes, have all his glittering jewelry auctioned off, grow old and ugly until he was so hideous people spat at him, or end up dying miserably, all alone in a tiny house.

As for those men, Zhi Wu didn't care about them at all.

Zhi Wu quickly came up with a plan. He would seduce Xu Zetang.

In the novel, everyone feared Xu Zetang. He was powerful and influential, and never let anyone get away with offending him. He was a far more formidable villain than Zhi Wu.

But all Zhi Wu saw was that Xu Zetang owned the most beautiful estate in Hong Kong.

Living in a house like that was what would make Zhi Wu happy.

But Xu Zetang was just so annoying!

Zhi Wu had a supple, slender waist that one hand could easily wrap around. He pretended to stumble and pressed himself against Xu Zetang, but Xu Zetang said he was too thin and watched him every day to make sure he didn't skip meals.

Zhi Wu's legs were long and straight, his knees tinged pink. After bathing, he deliberately wandered around in Xu Zetang's oversized shirt, but Xu Zetang only frowned at his smooth, pale ankles and grabbed his calves to put slippers on his feet.

Zhi Wu thought Xu Zetang didn't like him at all. He angrily ran off to drink, but Xu Zetang actually chased after him and carried him away over his shoulder in front of everyone!

Zhi Wu felt so wronged. He cried for ages until he was exhausted, but Xu Zetang still didn't come comfort him.

Unable to save face, Zhi Wu sniffled and secretly glared at Xu Zetang, then kicked his calf with his bare foot. Xu Zetang finally bent down, grabbed his ankle, and lifted him onto his lap. Then he wound a pink diamond necklace, loop by loop, around Zhi Wu's slender, snow-white neck.

"Zhi Wu." His voice was gentle. "If you want to be with me, this won't be enough."

"Then what do I have to do?"

Xu Zetang caught his hand. The place he touched was frighteningly hot. Zhi Wu jumped and tried to run, but Xu Zetang tugged on the diamond necklace and pulled him back.

Zhi Wu stammered, pleading, "I didn't mean to... Uncle, I was wrong..."

But this time, Xu Zetang didn't let him off as easily as he always had before...

Pretty sweetheart x prim, wealthy daddy

Age gap | Size difference | Marriage before love | Everyday romance for two | The love interest raises little animals, and the male lead raises his little Orange

Ning Zhicheng was an illegitimate child abandoned in the countryside. He was well-behaved and soft-spoken, a slender, delicate, pretty boy.

To fulfill his older brother's marriage contract, he was sent to the Shang family as soon as he came of age and married Shang Mingjun.

Shang Mingjun had been the designated heir to a top-tier wealthy family. After an accident injured his leg, his family cast him aside and sent him to an estate in the suburbs. He had to get by on a fixed trust fund each month.

Ning Zhicheng's eyes lit up at the news: a huge estate, a fixed allowance every month, and a husband with a broken leg who wouldn't be going out to fool around... Was he dreaming?

As for taking care of a disabled husband...

He'd raised pigs, chickens, and ducks in the countryside.

Looking after one person was nothing. OvO!

*

Rumor had it that Shang Mingjun was cold and indifferent by nature, and after becoming disabled, his moods became even more unpredictable.

Ning Zhicheng, a country bumpkin, was afraid he'd be sent back, so he decided to pretend to be a city-raised young master. "I'm super picky about food, I never do housework, and I'm afraid of the dark. I have to sleep with a night-light on..."

That ought to make him a good match for a city person like Shang Mingjun, right?

His nominal husband sat upright in his wheelchair, his deep-set features shrouded in shadow. His gaze rested heavily on Ning Zhicheng's anxiously intertwined fingers as he replied coolly, "Do as you like."

But that night, a night-light appeared beside Ning Zhicheng's pillow, just as he'd asked.

Ning Zhicheng thought happily that his husband might put on airs, but he was actually pretty easy to fool...

Ahem, pretty loyal, anyway.

With a husband so easy to fool, Ning Zhicheng's life among the wealthy was wonderfully carefree and lucky.

When he bent over to weed and plant vegetables in the garden, the butler happened to bring him a sun hat and gloves and reminded him to be careful not to hurt his hands.

When he secretly added ducks and geese to the estate's flock of swans, someone was always there to help feed them and collect their eggs.

When he ate too many little cakes and curled up in pain, someone gently rubbed his stomach for him...

Ning Zhicheng thought he was dreaming. He made soft little sounds as he was rubbed and gave instructions: "Put a little more force into it. We country people aren't like you city folks. I can take it..."

He stopped abruptly before he could finish.

In the darkness, Shang Mingjun's hand was still resting on his stomach. He looked at the extinguished night-light with an amused smile. "Picky about food? Never do housework? And weren't you afraid of the dark and unable to sleep without a night-light?"

Ning Zhicheng: "..."

Oh no.

Husband, just hear me out!

*

Everyone knew that Shang Mingjun was a legend.

He injured his leg and lost his power. Everyone thought he'd never recover, but in less than a year, he had taken control of the Shang family again.

Yet a man like him married a country bumpkin. Everyone waited to see Ning Zhicheng thrown out of the house. Instead, Shang Mingjun brought an exorbitant bride price and held another wedding with Ning Zhicheng.

Everyone was stunned. Who could have imagined that Shang Mingjun, who had always kept a low profile and stayed out of the public eye, would make such an extravagant declaration of love?

Ning Zhicheng, however, was unhappy. "The strawberries I planted are almost ripe. If I go to the wedding, I won't have time to pick them."

Shang Mingjun had expected him to say that. "I'll pick them for you before we go. Baby, don't even think about running away."

At first, Shang Mingjun thought Ning Zhicheng was simply his responsibility, and that if Ning Zhicheng wanted, he could divorce him.

Later, Shang Mingjun realized that he would never be able to let Ning Zhicheng go for the rest of his life.

[Bonus Scene]

One day, Ning Zhicheng pretended to be thoughtful and offered to massage Shang Mingjun's leg. After a while, he got bored and poked Shang Mingjun's leg. "Husband, why is your leg so cold? Does it still work?"

Later, Ning Zhicheng was held in Shang Mingjun's arms, bounced until he could barely speak. "N-no..."

"Who says it doesn't?" The man kissed the corner of his mouth, sweat running down from his temple. Though his face was expressionless, he was devastatingly sexy and domineering. "Baby, your husband works just fine."
