Chapter 1: Becoming a Cannon Fodder

Shi Yang's head felt dizzy, as if it was filled with cement, and he could vaguely hear sounds coming into his ears.

"You were so arrogant just now, why are you silent now?"

"This little face is quite unique."

"But, you little chicken want to climb up the Qin family's high branch and become a phoenix? Qin Jue and Qin Yelan would not look down on you even if they were blind!"

“…”

Hmm? Who's barking?

Shi Yang's eyelids seemed to be glued together, and he struggled for a long time before he could barely open his eyes.

What came into view was not a spacious and clean office, but a bathroom that exuded a damp smell.

At this time, his two arms were tied behind his back and someone was holding him down tightly, making him unable to move.

Opposite him stood a few young men in suits who looked respectable and were looking at him with smiles.

It's just that the smile was full of ridicule and bad taste, as if he was watching a clown.

The leading young man had two tufts of blue hair and put one hand in his pocket. He then raised his hand and patted Shi Yang's cheek in a vicious manner.

"Shi Yang, you are unlucky to have fallen into my hands today!"

When he woke up, he found himself in this place for no apparent reason. Before Shi Yang could wrap his mind around it, he thought, "Wait..."

As soon as he finished speaking, a bucket of cold water was poured over his head, splashing all over his body.

At the same time, a memory that did not belong to him flooded into Shi Yang's mind.

Shi Yang had a wet face and fell into silence for a short time.

“…”

“…”

“…”

Grass!

Shi Yang died suddenly after working day and night for three days.

But not dead yet.

He was transported into a melodramatic novel about a love triangle.

In the novel, the protagonist, a young master from a wealthy family, suffers from a tragic life, a mother who died young, a biased father, a vicious stepmother, and a broken self.

The poor protagonist, the top and the bottom, went through a love-hate relationship, a tragic love triangle, but in the end no one made a choice and one person ran away.

However, the role that Shi Yang got was not the protagonist, nor the top one or top two, but a villain cannon fodder with the same name as him.

Cannon Fodder is also called Shi Yang. His parents died when he was young. He lived with his brother who was eight years older than him in the countryside of City A. His life was pretty decent.

Until someone from the Qin family came to the door.

The Qin family is a well-known wealthy family in City A. The original owner's deceased father saved the life of the old man of the Qin family by chance 19 years ago, when the original owner was still in his mother's belly.

In order to express his gratitude to his benefactor, the old man casually promised a marriage.

Let his great-grandson marry the unborn child of his benefactor in the future.

But no one took it seriously.

More than ten years passed in a flash. Before Mr. Qin passed away, he somehow thought of his savior and the engagement with his grandson.

So, the original owner, who had lived in the countryside for nineteen years, came to the Qin family.

Grandpa Qin has two twin great-grandsons: Qin Zhuo and Qin Yelan, also known as Gong Yi and Gong Er in the original text.

The original owner wanted to choose one of the twins as his engagement partner.

Of course, the first and second twins were not engaged to the original owner because they looked down on him.

The original owner was the stepping stone and thickener in the relationship between the protagonist and the top.

He is arrogant and domineering, loves vanity, has no brains, and acts like a spoiled brat all day long, only wanting to climb the social ladder.

Not long after arriving at the Qin family, the original owner became a laughing stock in the entire upper class circle of City A.

The original owner often targeted the main character, the bottom, overtly or covertly, so naturally he was disliked by the top one and the top two.

Not only that, he also wanted to climb into the bed of Qin Yanchuan, the current head of the Qin family and the younger uncle of the twins' first and second attackers.

The result was naturally unsuccessful.

The original owner was beaten and thrown out of the Qin family while dying. He froze to death in a snowy night, ending his 19-year life.

When Yang learned the plot: "..."

Hahaha, fuck it, the sky is falling.

The only consolation is that the plot of the novel has just begun, the original owner has just arrived at the Qin family not long ago, and there are still several months before his death.

Tonight is a charity dinner hosted by a certain group. The invited guests are either rich or noble. How could the original owner, who only wanted to curry favor with the powerful, miss this opportunity? So he shamelessly followed several people from the Qin family to the banquet.

Who would have thought that I would offend someone in such a short time.

When the original owner turned around, she accidentally dropped the cake on the second young master of the Cheng family. Not only did she not apologize, she also righteously scolded the other party for being short-sighted.

The second son of the Cheng family, Cheng Feiyu, is well-known in the circle for being a troublemaker and causing trouble all the time.

How could Cheng Feiyu swallow this humiliation? So he teamed up with a few friends to capture the original owner and take him to the bathroom to get back at him.

Before Shi Yang could calm down the chaotic and complicated emotions in his mind, a "ding" sound suddenly came from his mind.

[Ding——Welcome host to enter the mission world, the evil system No. 008 is at your service. 】

[Now issuing tasks to the host:]

[Task 1: Fulfill the original owner's wish and marry the richest and most powerful man in City A, and make him willingly leave his property to you]

[Mission 2: Become the Qin Family’s Favorite]

[Task 3: Maintain the character setting and don’t let anyone find out that the original owner’s body has been replaced]

[Only by completing all tasks can you get a chance to be reborn. ]

【Host, come on. 】

Shi Yang: Hmm???

Before Shi Yang could react, he was patted on the cheek again.

Cheng Feiyu raised his eyebrows and grabbed Shi Yang's hair which was still dripping with water. "Oh, the little chicken has become the chicken in the hot water this time."

The strength in his hand suddenly increased, "Lick the cream off my clothes!"

Shi Yang felt pain and was pulled forward, his nose almost touching the cake cream on Cheng Feiyu's suit jacket. He frowned slightly and pursed his lips, "You he..."

System: [Maintain personality]

Shi Yang's mouth twitched slightly, and he forced back the curse words in his throat. Then he closed his eyes, and his dark eyelashes, which were wetted by cold water, trembled slightly.

When he opened his eyes again, he glared at Cheng Feiyu fiercely, but the corner of his mouth twitched slightly and he let out a contemptuous sneer.

Shi Yang's expression was extremely arrogant, and even though his posture was ferocious, he still looked like a peacock high above.

"If you guys just let me go right now and kowtow to me to apologize, I'll consider not bothering with you."

Just do it, do it to your death.

After the words fell, the air around him was quiet for a few seconds.

In the bathroom, everyone except Shi Yang suspected that there was something wrong with their ears.

"What the hell is wrong with you?"

"Let me kowtow and apologize to you?!"

"Brother Yu, stop wasting time talking to this country bumpkin. He'll behave himself after a beating!"

Shi Yang was arrogant and continued: "Cheng Feiyu, I am from the Qin family. If you offend me, Uncle Qin will not let you go!"

Cheng Feiyu was almost amused and actually burst out laughing.

"Hey, Uncle Qin? You're calling me that in a very intimate way. Do you really take yourself seriously?"

"Don't even mention Qin Yanchuan. Even the two brothers Qin Zhuo and Qin Yelan look down on you, a country bumpkin. In their eyes, you are probably worse than a pug."

"Don't you like eating cake? I'll let you eat as much as you want!"

The smile on Cheng Feiyu's face suddenly disappeared. He reached out to take the cake handed to him by the person next to him and threw it into Shi Yang's face without mercy.

He picked up another piece, pinched Shi Yang's chin, forced him to open his mouth, and viciously stuffed the cake into his mouth.

“Hmm…”

Shi Yang tried to struggle, but his body was just that of a frail sickly being with very little strength, and all his struggles were in vain.

He placed his hopes on a system that inexplicably appeared in his mind.

[System, 008, tell me what to do now! ]

System: [We recommend you lie down. ]

Shi Yang: "..."

ok,fine.

Shi Yang lay down on the ground, letting Cheng Feiyu smear the cake all over his mouth and face.

You're right, you're really right, this cake tastes really good.

In the middle of the call, Cheng Feiyu received a phone call, probably about something urgent. After hanging up the phone, he cursed.

He smeared the cake on his hands all over Shi Yang's clothes, "You are lucky today, I will settle with you next time!"

Having said that, he left with a few of his friends.

Shi Yang leaned against the wall in a wolf-like manner, wiped the sticky cake off his face with his hand, and did not forget to raise his voice and shout out to the door:

"It's still unclear who will settle the score with whom, Cheng, just wait for me!"

But soon, Shi Yang felt something was wrong. His body began to feel numb and itchy, his chest felt stuffy, and he had difficulty breathing. He could only open his mouth and gasp for air.

But in just half a minute, Shi Yang couldn't hold on and fell to the ground, taking out his cell phone from his pocket with trembling hands.

This body not only has coagulation problems, but is also allergic to many foods, such as mangoes.

What Cheng Feiyu had just stuffed into his mouth was mango cake, and he took several bites.

Shi Yang cursed in his heart.

You’re such a jerk, I’ll make you hungry!

He covered his stuffy chest, gasped for breath, and dialed 120 with trembling hands.

Huh? Why can't I dial out?

System: [Not allowed.]

Shi Yang: "..."

What to play?

Shi Yang continued to shake his hands as he opened the address book and immediately saw the top few contacts:

A Qin Ye

B Qin Zhu

C Qin Yanchuan

Breathing was becoming increasingly difficult, and Shi Yang could not care less and simply dialed a number.
