Chapter 1 She is a cannon fodder female supporting role
At the end of the Xu hour,
Tiandu, Xie Mansion.
The banquet was over, but the light was still on in the kitchen.
Xie Yanyu stood in front of the stove for a long time, and the hangover soup in his hand had turned from hot to cold.
Seeing that she didn't move, the maid couldn't help but urge her: "Miss, are you going to serve the sobering soup or not? Calculating the time, Master Helan should be going to bed soon. If you don't go now, it will be too late."
Xie Yanyu remained silent after hearing this.
She simply put the hangover soup back on the table, revealing a part of her wrist with snow-white bandages crisscrossed on it, outlining the slender shape of her wrist.
She was actually thinking at this time -
Are you still going to deliver this hangover soup?
The Helan Master the maid mentioned was named Helan Wei. He was born into a top family in the world of cultivation. He was the most popular prodigy in the Helan lineage and had a noble status. He was recently invited to stay at the Xie Mansion.
The Xie family is also one of the most famous families in the world of cultivation.
However, Xie Yanyu was not the real daughter of the Xie family. She was originally an orphan. Because of her special spiritual roots and her blood could cure the illness of the young master of the Xie family, she was reluctantly accepted as an adopted daughter by the Xie family.
Although she was an adopted daughter, her life was not easy. The master of the Xie family felt that she was lowly, and the servants did not really regard her as their master. That Mr. Xie became her nominal stepbrother, and she had to cut her wrists and let blood every two weeks to treat his illness.
She was unwilling to live like this.
But in the world of cultivation, strength is the first thing to look at, followed by identity. Her spiritual roots are special, making it difficult for her to practice, and her identity is also awkward. She has been included in the Xie family genealogy, and the only way for her to leave the Xie family is to get married.
It happened that Helan Wei came to stay at Xie's house for a while.
He was gentle to her, so she felt that she had a chance and wanted to try to climb up to Helan Wei's high branch, so she often showed her courtesy to him.
The Xie family held a banquet tonight.
Helan Wei drank some wine, so she went to the kitchen to cook some sobering soup and prepared to send it to him.
However, just as she picked up the soup, a strange voice suddenly sounded in her mind. The voice called itself the system and spoke in strange and bizarre words, but she could easily understand them.
The system said that she lived in a novel and was a cannon fodder female supporting role in the novel. She was born in a humble family and had a dark personality. She tried her best to climb up the social ladder every day, but in the end she got nothing and ended up dying in a miserable way.
And today is the day when her cannon fodder plot begins.
She tried to please Helan Wei and he accepted all her kindness. Everyone around her thought that Helan Wei was also interested in her and might take her away.
But in the morning, she heard Helan Wei's attendant ask, "Sir, you will be leaving soon. Do you want to take Miss Xie with you?"
Helan Wei's tone was gentle and casual: "An adopted daughter?"
The attendant said, "I thought you were interested in Miss Xie..."
Helan Wei smiled nonchalantly at the time: "Intentionally? Just killing time."
Only then did she realize that although Helan Wei appeared gentle on the surface, he was actually very arrogant in his heart. He looked down on her, but also found it fun to tease her. He used her to pass the time, but had no intention of taking her away.
There is nothing Xie Yanyu cannot get what he wants, and he will do whatever it takes to get it.
She was born in a humble family and could not change her fate through spiritual practice. If she wanted to live a good life, she could only climb up by stepping on others. She did not want to stay in the Xie family, so she would not let Helan Wei go. Taking advantage of Helan Wei's drinking tonight, she directly put the love thread Gu in the sobering soup to use it to arouse her passion.
but……
Xie Yanyu recalled this and turned his attention to the hangover soup.
She recalled the original text that the system had shown her just now—
[Xie Yanyu curled up on the ground, her clothes torn into pieces by herself. She was almost tortured to death, tears kept streaming down her face. She grabbed the corner of Helan Wei's clothes and rubbed it against him.
Helan Wei just lowered his eyes and looked at her.
The young man sat under the lamp, the bright light illuminating his facial features, making him look a little too handsome.
He was dressed neatly, his back was straight, and a sense of dignity emanated from his bones. He was completely different from Xie Yanyu.
He had known for a long time that there was something added to the sobering soup that Xie Yanyu sent, so he let her drink the soup herself. Now looking at her miserable appearance, he seemed to find it very interesting.
After she struggled for a while, he bent down and wiped away her tears with his fingertips, saying in a gentle voice, "Yanyu, I don't like others plotting against me."
Xie Yanyu cried and apologized: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry... I didn't intend to scheme against you, sir. I don't want anything, I just really like you too much..."
She did like Helan Wei a little, but she drugged him because she wanted to climb up the social ladder. Now that the truth has been revealed, Helan Wei is of noble status. If she admits that it was all a plot, she will end up in a miserable situation. She can only insist that she did all this because she liked him too much.
Helan Wei is ignorant of worldly affairs and has no interest in them. His status is too high, and there are flattering men and women everywhere who want to step on him to climb up the social ladder. He gets annoyed when he sees them.
But the man in front of him said that he had no ulterior motives and wanted nothing else, and that he drugged her simply because he liked him.
He felt curious and looked at her for a long time.
Finally, when she was on the verge of collapse, he showed mercy, bent down to hug her, and gave her a light kiss on the forehead.
She admired him.
She herself said that she had no other desires, and that she was the one who was eager to do it.
So it’s okay for him to play around.
She was of low status, and even though she was the adopted daughter of a noble family, she was not even qualified to be his concubine.
Of course he wouldn't take her away. It was a blessing that he was willing to condescend to accompany her for a while.
……】
This is the original text that the system showed her.
Xie Yanyu's life so far can be consistent with what the system said, and his future life has also been arranged.
Although everything happened between her and Helan Wei, Helan Wei did not take her away in the end. She reaped the consequences of drinking the bowl of sobering soup and was infected with the love poison. The side effect was that she could not live without Helan Wei. She had to make love with Helan Wei every full moon night to get rid of the poison, otherwise she would explode and die.
She had no choice but to follow Helan Wei to the sect where he was practicing. Helan Wei was the sect's most prestigious first disciple, but she had to join the sect as a menial disciple.
Helan Wei glanced at her, smiled gently, and said in a condescending tone: "Yan Yu likes me so much? He is chasing me even though he has no name or status."
Xie Yanyu hated him to death, but she needed him to detoxify her, so she could only endure it and follow him like a concubine.
Until one day, her fiancé came to her and proposed to her.
Xie Yanyu: […system.]
System: [Yes.]
Xie Yanyu asked: [Where did my fiancé come from?]
Why I don’t know myself.
System: [Oh, do you still remember four years ago when you picked up a half-dead man on the street?]
Xie Yanyu: [……]
Xie Yanyu remembered.
Back then, she was still an orphan, living in a deserted, haunted courtyard. One day, when she went out, a seriously injured man grabbed her ankle and begged her to save him. Her own life was difficult, so how could she possibly pick him up? But the man said he came from a family of cultivators and was seriously injured because he was hunted by his enemies. She just needed to give him a place to hide, and he would repay her after he recovered.
An orphan like Xie Yanyu had no chance of coming into contact with a monk, especially one from an aristocratic family. She desperately wanted a better life, so she asked him to marry her after he recovered, or she would not save him. After some bargaining, he agreed, and she took care of him for a while.
Then one day,
His enemies came to his house, put a knife to Xie Yanyu's neck and asked about his whereabouts.
Xie Yanyu heard from her enemies that his family had fallen on hard times and their entire clan had been wiped out. She couldn't risk her life for a worthless marriage, so she immediately revealed his whereabouts to them. Not only did she sell him off, but she also took his treasures, thinking he would not survive due to his severe injuries and the pursuit of revenge.
The spiritual roots in her body were brought into being by this treasure.
Relying on this spiritual root, she used her blood to cure the illness of the young master of the Xie family and became the adopted daughter of the Xie family.
Xie Yanyu continued to read the plot.
The man later survived a near-death experience, killed his enemy, and even made a comeback to become the Sword Master.
Later, when he met Xie Yanyu again, he recognized her and decided to take revenge on her, to make her feel abandoned and betrayed. He came to propose marriage, but when Xie Yanyu thought she could become the man of the upper class, he maliciously broke off the engagement and exposed her affair with Helan Wei in front of everyone.
This incident caused a lot of uproar. The Xie family felt that she had brought disgrace to the family. In order to protect the family's reputation, her stepbrother put her under house arrest and prevented her from appearing in public to discredit the Xie family.
She was locked up, living a life neither human nor ghost. After finally escaping, she encountered a war between the demon and human races. She defected to the Demon Lord, betrayed the noble family, and married the Demon Lord. She lived a good life in the demon clan for several years and gained power and status.
But the Demon Lord practiced the ruthless way, and in order to prove his way, he finally stabbed her to death with a sword through the heart.
Xie Yanyu: [……]
System: [This is a story about a group of male protagonists. You're the vicious female supporting character who flatters the powerful and bullies the weak, constantly trying to seduce the male protagonist. In the end, you die, and the readers are delighted. They think you were humble yet ambitious, lacking self-awareness, and had the nerve to cling to the male protagonists. They say a snob like you deserves a death like this. You wanted everything, but got nothing. A good death.]
Xie Yanyu lowered his eyes when he heard this.
She was not a stunning beauty, at most a delicate lady, with extremely pale skin, and very black eyes and hair. The white was extremely white, and the black was extremely black, with a strong contrast. She had a pale and sickly plainness to her whole body, but because she was plain to the extreme, she had a ghostly and gorgeous feeling, a kind of magic that made people unforgettable.
She had no expression on her face at this time, and she looked a little cold.
She didn't say anything, but at this moment she was thinking in a rather grim way -
What qualifications do a group of people who don't eat meat have to judge her?
Get them all in the book, and they will all behave themselves after a while.
She wants to live a good life, and she is right.
She dreamed of being a superior person. When she was an orphan, she lived on the streets and had to fight with others for a bite of rotten rice. She was not treated as a human being in the Xie family. She was like an animal that could be bled by anyone. Although she no longer lacked food and clothing, she had paid for it with her blood and dignity. Now the wound on her wrist still hurts slightly.
only……
Now that she knows the plot, and knows that some things will not end well, she will naturally not do them again.
She still had to think of a way to climb up in a different way. Unfortunately, her spiritual roots were special and she couldn't practice Taoism, otherwise she might have tried it.
Only by ascending to become an immortal can you truly step on everyone's heads.
Xie Yanyu thought about it, picked up the hangover soup on the table, and prepared to pour it out.
However, at this moment,
The system spoke again——
[Please be advised that if you follow the original plot and complete the emotional line and achieve the original ending, you will ascend to become an immortal.]
[Current plot completion: 0%]
Xie Yanyu paused again: [Becoming an immortal?]
System Explanation: [As long as you complete the original storyline, you will become an immortal. However, since you have to flirt with each male protagonist, there are a lot of storylines to follow. There are four in total: Helan Wei, stepbrother, fiancé, and demon lord.]
Xie Yanyu's fingers trembled.
Becoming an immortal wasn't easy. Even for a gifted child like Helan Wei or her stepbrother, it was still a long way off, let alone someone like her with unique spiritual roots and no aptitude for cultivation. She had considered cultivating to become an immortal before, but no matter how hard she tried, her cultivation remained stuck at the initial stages of foundation building.
But now the system says that she can become an immortal as long as she completes the original storyline.
Xie Yanyu thought quietly for a moment, then put the sobering soup back on the table.
Then she picked up the serving tray.
Seeing this, the maid beside her said with a slightly impatient tone: "Are you going to send it off again?"
The system looked at this scene and thought, is there anything else to say?
Xie Yanyu has been trying his best to become a superior person. Now that he has heard that he can become an immortal, he will definitely rush to deliver sobering soup and perform a play... huh?
etc?
Xie Yanyu directly handed the tray to the maid.
The system was a little shocked and didn't understand what she was going to do.
The maid didn't react: "What do you mean?"
Xie Yanyu said, "I have something else to do. Please help me send it over first."
The maid glanced at her suspiciously, thinking, "What could be wrong with you? Everyone in the mansion knows that your biggest concern is to pay your attention to Mr. Helan and try to climb up the social ladder."
The maid was surprised: "You're not going?"
The system also asked: [You don't want to follow the plot? ]
Xie Yanyu said to the system in a gentle tone: [Do you want to follow the plot? Of course.]
System: [Then you should give Helan Wei some hangover soup now.]
Xie Yanyu: [Didn't I have someone deliver it to him? He wouldn't drink it anyway.]
The system hesitated: [That makes sense. Even if you didn't deliver it yourself, he would know it was you. And according to the original plot, he certainly wouldn't drink this bowl of soup...]
No, wait—
Even though he doesn't drink, you have to drink.
If you don't deliver it in person, what will happen to the subsequent plot between you and him?!
