In the novel Young Master Lu’s Stand-in Bride, the male lead is a man of profound and unwavering devotion. But what does that have to do with Ning Qi? She is nothing more than cannon fodder!
Immediately upon transmigrating, Ning Qi is met with a barrage of accusations from the male lead. Recalling the tragic end that awaits the “original wife” in the book, she decides that sitting around waiting for death is simply not her style. In these “Overbearing CEO” novels, the list of cannon fodder characters could easily fill an entire sheet of A4 paper!
Qin Shi is “Cannon Fodder Number One”—the legendary “White Moonlight” (the male lead’s unattainable first love).
As everyone knows, the White Moonlight in these stories always returns from abroad only to realize the male lead is her true love, while the male lead—after a series of physical and emotional torments—realizes his true love is actually the “stand-in” girl.
Ning Qi decides to win over the White Moonlight. To prevent her from ever falling for the male lead, Ning Qi exhausts every trick in the book. Later, Ning Qi gets exactly what she wished for—except she never expected to end up with a girlfriend in the process.
