"The Cannon Fodder's

Beloved

Little Junior Sister" by Feiyu Zhaixing [Complete + Extras]

Synopsis:

Ye Zhenzhen

had fallen into a book.

She had become a newborn little junior sister.

Bad news: her sect was poor and weak, and was about to be wiped out.

Good news: the cannon fodder could hear her thoughts.

[Senior Brother, a villain will trick you out of your golden core. You'll fall from a genius sword cultivator to someone who can barely fight, then be the first to die saving the sect!]

[Second Senior Sister, a scoundrel will deceive you in love and torment your body and heart. You'll let a wolf into the house, and the sect will be destroyed!]

[Third Senior Brother, unrequited love will turn you into a demon. You'll try to save the one you love, only for the Evil Drought Demon to seize your body and kill you!]

[Little Senior Brother, you'll try to destroy the alchemy furnace and take that scoundrel down with you, but the Heaven-Opening Sword will scatter your soul!]

Ye Zhenzhen knew the original story well, and a mission to save the sect had been bound to her.

She worked hard to split up the original heroine and hero, match the heroine with other devoted supporting men, and lead everyone toward wealth. Along the way, they

rose against the odds

to become the strongest sect.

Then the original characters began straying from their roles, one by one:

The second senior sister, once obsessed with romance, devoted herself to

farming,

cultivating all kinds of spiritual herbs and fruits;

The senior brother, once

beautiful, powerful, and tragic,

became obsessed with breeding fish and secured an entire spiritual fish pond for his fish-loving little junior sister;

The little senior brother, once a warrior for pure love, fell in love with alchemy and researched delicious strawberry-flavored pills to feed his little junior sister.

Most outrageous of all was the

possessive

Third senior brother, who had gone mad and turned demonic over the original heroine.

Ye Zhenzhen had tried everything to stop him from turning into a demon. Instead, he kept giving her all kinds of "surprise" talismans. Once she had come of age, he even abducted her to the demon realm to drink wedding wine with him. "Little Junior Sister, I've waited so long for this day. May I marry you?"

Ye Zhenzhen: ???

[Wasn't it Senior Sister he loved?]

The possessive third senior brother: "What are you imagining? It's you!"

One-line summary: After her thoughts were overheard, she used her knowledge of the story to save the entire sect.

Theme: The greatest force in this world had never been the power to destroy heaven and earth, but the love of countless tiny streams joining to form rivers and seas.

===============

The first day of the third month was a new-moon day.

Heaven and earth convulsed. Sun and moon lost their light, blazing lightning shook the sky, and the world knew no peace. A hundred rivers boiled; mountains and burial mounds crumbled.

All three realms recoiled. "This is an omen of great calamity!"

Then a baby cried. A golden pillar of light enveloped the entire sky, and a phoenix called from the clouds, iridescent light shimmering between its feathers.

Across the hills and fields, peach blossoms, pear blossoms, crabapple blossoms, and azaleas burst into bloom. A white

dragon

soared skyward. Its cry rose above thunder that roared like ten thousand galloping horses.

"Dragon and phoenix in harmony! An auspicious sign from heaven!"

The newborn baby girl was carried before her parents. "Congratulations, Sect Master Ye and Madam Ye. You have a daughter!"

The little dumpling looked as though she had been carved from pink jade, lovely as snow. Unlike most wrinkled newborns, she had gently arched brows, round eyes, and a cinnabar mark between her brows—the finishing touch that made her whole face come alive.

"My daughter's birth suppressed the omen of great calamity and turned it into great fortune. What a blessing for Cloudsky Sect and the three realms." Ye Ruheng, the sect master of Cloudsky Sect, took the baby and cradled her carefully. "The peach tree grows fair, its leaves lush and flourishing. Let us call her Ye Zhenzhen. May she live a safe, smooth life, ever full of vigor."

Cloudsky Sect? Ye Zhenzhen?

One moment, Ye Zhenzhen was celebrating—Oh, hell yes, I'm finally out! The next, she nearly kicked up a fuss. Weren't these cannon-fodder characters from The Peerless Cultivation Vessel, the novel about a man's desperate pursuit of the woman he'd wronged that she had read before bed?

How had she fallen into a book just by sleeping? Worse, she had landed in Cloudsky Sect, an unlucky sect about to be wiped out. Was she going to die before she even grew up?

According to the original story, Cloudsky Sect had once stood above its peers, foremost among the cultivation world's five great sects. Its current sect master, Ye Ruheng, was obsessed with cultivation. He spent years in seclusion, paying no attention to worldly affairs, leaving the sect short of cultivation resources and disciples and weakening by the day.

As the saying went, possessing treasure was itself a crime. Cloudsky Sect guarded the Seven-Colored Heaven-Mending Stone, one of the five divine artifacts, and sealed away the power of the ancient Evil Drought Demon. Villains first plotted to steal the treasure; then they razed the mountain and destroyed the sect. Not one member met a good end.

[Ahhh! Why did this happen?]

[I don't want to end up in this poor, weak cannon-fodder sect that's going to be wiped out!]

"Who's speaking?" Ye Ruheng's cultivation was profound. Almost no one in the cultivation world could break through his wards and sneak up beside him without a sound. Unless...

Alarmed, he drew his sword and searched the room, but saw no one.

[Daddy, it's me. I'm Zhenzhen.]

Hearing the sweet, soft voice of a little child, Ye Ruheng followed it and looked down. Only then did he notice the rosy-cheeked baby girl staring straight at him, her tiny mouth opening and closing as if she wanted to say something.

Strange. How could a newborn speak? His first thought was that someone had seized his daughter's body. He hurriedly examined her for anything unusual.

Ye Zhenzhen's spiritual core was clear and her soul untainted. The cinnabar mark between her brows gave off a faint, gentle golden glow, like the radiance of a Buddha blessed with merit.

"Strange. No one has seized her body."

Ye Zhenzhen took the chance to inspect the father she had acquired. Ye Ruheng had the bearing of an immortal and the face of a handsome man from an old painting. Gentle as jade and filled with righteous spirit, he looked like a banished immortal stepped out of a scroll.

She turned to look at her mother lying nearby. Xie Jingshu's face was pale, but it could not hide her orchid-like grace. Unlike Ye Zhenzhen's mother in her former world, she seemed gentle and warm.

[I like Daddy so much. I don't want him to die after having his golden core dug out and his bones stripped away, then bear the infamy of releasing the Evil Drought Demon for all eternity!]

[I like Mommy so much, too. I can't bear her having her soul scattered by the Heaven-Opening Sword while she watches helplessly as the Gu Eagle devours her daughter alive!]

His golden core dug out and his bones stripped away? Her soul scattered? Their daughter eaten by the Gu Eagle? That's horrifying beyond belief!
