Reborn as the Wicked Cannon Fodder in an Everybody-Loves-Him Novel

A black-hearted schemer deaf in his left ear × a cold, abstinent man who only looks proper

Jiang Xun dies suddenly and wakes up as the malicious cannon fodder in a melodramatic novel where everyone falls for the protagonist. He also becomes bound to a Plot Breakdown System.

In the original novel, the cannon fodder is engaged to the first male lead. Hopelessly in love with him, he willingly acts as his lapdog and repeatedly targets and frames the protagonist.

In the end, the twisted, obsessive second male lead engineers a car crash that kills him.

Only when the original plot's breakdown reaches 100% can Jiang Xun return and get a second chance at life.

So Jiang Xun devotes himself to stopping the romances between the protagonist and his male leads from developing.

Chu Xingye: Overbearing, arrogant, and wild. Once stood in the rain all night before the grave of his first love.

Protagonist: "My heart aches for him. He must be hurting so much."

Jiang Xun: "What a colossal idiot."

Ji Yuntian: Disabled in both legs, with a twisted, obsessive personality. He was the one who arranged the original cannon fodder's fatal car crash.

Protagonist: "My heart aches for him. Life must be so exhausting for him."

Jiang Xun: "A future true-crime headline."

Bai Lian: An orphan burdened with enormous debts, working several jobs every day. A man of few words who silently protects the protagonist, the story's bottom.

Protagonist: "My heart aches for him. Life must be so hard for him."

Jiang Xun: "Mr. Silent."

Later, the plot does indeed fall apart.

Chu Xingye puts special care into planning a surprise for Jiang Xun, intending to confess his love-only to run into the uncle he admires most in Jiang Xun's room.

Fu Yanli, a legendary figure in City A's elite circles, is a young entrepreneur with a fortune worth tens of billions.

Chu Xingye is dumbfounded. "Uncle, what are you doing here?"

Fu Yanli wraps one arm around Jiang Xun, looks at his nephew, and says calmly, "Call him your aunt."
