The Vicious Supporting Character Doesn't Want to Be Arranged

The Vicious Supporting Character Doesn't Want to Be Arranged by Baye Dang [Completed + Extra]

Synopsis:

After dying from overwork, Huo Jiu transmigrated into a vicious cannon fodder character in an old-school Mary Sue novel where everyone loves the protagonist.

According to the original novel's plot, after his alcoholic father died, Huo Jiu would be taken to a new home by his biological mother, who had married into a wealthy family, where he would become the stepbrother of the protagonist shou.

Then, out of jealousy for everything the protagonist shou possessed, he would meticulously plot against him. He would harbor delusions of stealing everything from the protagonist shou. Until his schemes were exposed, he would be kicked out of the house by his stepfather in a fit of rage, suffer brutal retaliation from the protagonist shou's admirers, and finally die a miserable death.

Huo Jiu, who had just transmigrated: Thanks for the invite, but I don't want to play along with the plot.

However, Huo Jiu discovered to his dismay that he could not escape the control of the plot.

As a character in the plot, whenever Huo Jiu performed an action that deviated from the story, the entire world would reload.

Thus, Huo Jiu was pleasantly surprised to find that he had gained a lot of extra time out of thin air—

As a workaholic who believed that "as long as you don't work yourself to death, you should work yourself to death,"

Huo Jiu found the best way to indulge in work.

He used the time from reloading to study hard, work diligently, and scheme in fancy ways (not really), even if he worked himself to exhaustion, he would be fully revived in the next moment to start all over again.

Huo Jiu excitedly used the plot to exploit bugs.

But he didn't expect that, by accident, the original plot that kept reloading would collapse because of his actions.

Everyone knew that Huo Jiu was despicable, insidious, vicious, greedy, jealous, and fickle—he possessed all the worst qualities in the world—but they still couldn't help but focus on everything he did.

Chapter 1: The Seventh Day

With a crisp "clatter," a beer bottle was smashed hard against the floor by a drunken man. Residual alcohol mixed with dark green glass shards splattered everywhere. The boy hiding under the bed closed his eyes in terror and shivered violently.

"You little bastard! Where are you hiding again! Get the hell out here! Go buy me some booze!"

As the man spoke, he stumbled into the kitchen. He rummaged through the empty cupboards in a rage: "...You didn't even cook for me!"

"I work hard to earn money to feed you ungrateful wolves. All you do is hide from me with that mournful face all day long."

"If you have the guts, go hide in another city like your bitch of a mother. Hide somewhere I can't find you. Damn little bastard."

The more the man spoke, the angrier he became, smashing the few remaining bowls and chopsticks in the kitchen onto the floor. The clattering sounds felt as if they were striking the little boy's body. The boy curled up under the bed closed his eyes even tighter, pressing his hands firmly over his ears, thinking that if he did so, he could cease to exist.

Unfortunately, things did not go as he wished. A large hand suddenly grabbed his arm and dragged him out from under the bed. A massive force followed as the man kicked the little boy in the shoulder: "I knew you little bastard were hiding here! Why didn't you cook? Do you want to starve me to death? What use are you to me?"

"No! No!" The little boy sobbed, trembling as he cried out in explanation: "The aunties and uncles at the vegetable stand won't let me buy on credit. I didn't, I didn't buy any vegetables. I didn't mean not to cook. Dad, don't hit me. I'll be good. I'll listen. Dad, don't hit me anymore. It hurts, wuu wuu. Mom, save me..."

"You still dare to call for your mom?" The little boy's plea for help stung the man deeply. The man gritted his teeth and kicked the boy in the chest again: "I'll let you call! I'll let you call! Do you like your mom that much? Do you look down on me too? Are you wishing that bitch had taken you with her back then?"

"Ah—"

The crisp sound of ribs snapping exploded in his ears, and Huo Jiu suddenly opened his eyes.

"Hoo... hoo..." In the pitch-black darkness, Huo Jiu sat up abruptly, gasping for air.

He had been dreaming again. For seven consecutive days, he had spent every night reliving someone else's life in his dreams.

To be more precise, it was someone else's plot.

As a corporate slave who died from overwork, Huo Jiu had transmigrated after his death into an old-school Mary Sue novel where everyone loved the protagonist, becoming the vicious cannon fodder who shared his name.

According to the original book's setting, the original owner was a child of divorced parents. He grew up with an alcoholic father. His mother had divorced his father when he was seven and went to another city to make a living on her own. From then on, his father drank even more heavily, and whenever he was drunk, he would curse his mother and beat him to vent his anger, hoping to instill hatred into Huo Jiu this way.

However, young Huo Jiu had never resented his mother. This was because he had seen with his own eyes how his father had abused his mother when he was drunk.

So, Huo Jiu did not hate her. His only wish was for his mother to come back and save him from his father. This wish was fulfilled on his sixteenth birthday.

His father, who had been a long-term alcoholic, died of alcohol poisoning after emergency treatment failed. On the day of the funeral, his mother, who had already married into a wealthy family, suddenly appeared and said she wanted to take him back to her new home.

Huo Jiu was overjoyed. However, shortly after he moved into the new home, an accident revealed that the reason his mother had brought him over was that she wanted him to donate bone marrow—the man his mother had later married was named Su Shiyuan, the chairman of the Su Corporation. His only son, Su Zhuo, suffered from leukemia and needed a bone marrow transplant. Su Zhuo had Rh-negative blood, making it very difficult to find a matching donor.

At that time, Huo Jiu's mother suddenly remembered that Huo Jiu also had Rh-negative blood. Holding onto the hope of trying it out, Huo Jiu's mother mentioned this to her husband, and the two of them returned to their hometown together to find Huo Jiu, not expecting to run into the Huo family holding a funeral.
