The Cannon Fodder Was Pampered By The Tyrant

Lin Yutian, a poverty-stricken student who lost both her parents, steeled her heart and bought a lottery ticket after the college entrance exams. To her shock, she won ten million yuan.

However, before she could even begin to squander her fortune, she transmigrated into a poorly written, unfinished novel.

In the story, there is a moody, ruthless Tyrant who only begins to reform and become a wise ruler after her “White Moonlight” (first love) returns. Lin Yutian has transmigrated as a lowly maidservant by the Tyrant’s side.

The System tells her: She is merely an NPC in this world. As soon as she dies, she can return to her original world.

Lin Yutian: O.o?

Eager to go back and spend her ten million yuan, Lin Yutian begins seeking death. The fastest way to die, she figures, is to provoke the bloodthirsty Tyrant.

• Attempt #1: She adds a mess of strange ingredients into the Tyrant’s incense burner, hoping to disturb her sleep. But before she can escape, she notices something is wrong, why is her body getting so hot? Waking up the next morning covered in marks, Lin Yutian stares at the Tyrant in bed, horrified: QAQ

To trigger a “Death Route,” she acts willfully and insolently, trembling as she says: “This is all Your Majesty’s fault.” She expected the Tyrant to fly into a rage. Instead, the Tyrant says softly: “It is My fault. I shall compensate you.” Lin Yutian: ?

Seeing her plan fail, Lin Yutian decides to ramp up her efforts:

• When the Tyrant eats, she spins the lazy Susan. Result: Lin Yutian is forced to sit on the Tyrant’s lap with a flushed face, hand-feeding her the meal she cooked.
• When the Tyrant goes to court, she trashes the palace. Result: Lin Yutian is blindfolded, trembling as she cleans up the mess she made.
• When the Tyrant reads, she causes a distraction. Result: Lin Yutian ends up tied to the bed, her face crimson, making incoherent sounds.

After a while, not only has the Tyrant not executed her, but she has pampered Lin Yutian until her skin is glowing and her lips are rosy. Desperate, Lin Yutian refuses to be kissed or held, and in a moment of near-breaking, she actually slaps the Tyrant across the face.

The Tyrant simply tilts her head, kisses Lin Yutian’s palm, and asks huskily: “Is that all the strength you have?”

Just as Lin Yutian is about to give up after countless failures, the Tyrant’s “White Moonlight” returns to the palace. Looking at her own reflection, which resembles the White Moonlight, Lin Yutian suddenly understands everything.

That night, amidst the singing and dancing of the banquet, she packs her bags to leave but is blindsided by an assassin and drowns.

She finally returns to her own era. However, Lin Yutian is depressed, curling up at home every day. One day, there is a knock at her door.

The Tyrant actually appears at her doorstep, radiating a cold aura with chilling eyes. “Did you think you could escape Me by dying?” She pins Lin Yutian against the corner, her beautiful face full of danger. She leans down, biting Lin Yutian’s lip hard, her voice hoarse: “You aren’t getting away.”
