The Delicate Beauty Grabbed the Cannon Fodder Villain’s Script [Quick Transmigration] - Chapter 1

In front of the Jian family villa stood an apricot tree adorned with warm yellow lanterns. Beneath it sat a long table and several chairs. Whenever the small lamps were lit at night, sitting there felt cozy and leisurely, with a touch of romance.

It was currently summer, and several people were seated in this spot.

Jian Tao tugged at his collar. His body felt sticky and hot. His current physical state was very weak, and a layer of sweat had already formed on his back. The mask on his face only added to the stifling heat. However, the feeling of happiness in his heart made him overlook the physical discomfort. The lips exposed beneath the mask remained curved in a constant smile because he had finally achieved his wish: marrying Jiang Shi, the young master of the top wealthy family, the Jiang family.

“Alright, sign here.”

A pair of slender hands handed over a contract. Jian Tao took it. The document to be signed was a marriage contract. Overwhelmed by excitement, he signed his name briskly without even looking at the contents. He then handed the signed contract back to the man opposite him, looking at him with a face full of smiles.

The man was handsome, with hair dyed a chestnut color and a single diamond stud in his earlobe. Both his appearance and temperament were exceptionally flamboyant, but at this moment, his brow was filled with impatience. This was the protagonist of this story, Jiang Shi.

After receiving the contract, Jiang Shi stood up to say goodbye to Jian Tao’s parents and the butler, Su Wen, who had been standing by the table. He then walked toward the main gate. Jian Tao hurried to catch up and spoke in a domineering tone, “Since we are getting married, you must reply to me whenever I contact you.”

Although Jian Tao’s attitude was overbearing, his face had turned completely red. Fortunately, it was hidden by the mask, though his reddened earlobes still betrayed his current excitement. Seeing that Jiang Shi remained silent, Jian Tao moved closer and said, “You are not allowed to ignore my messages. Also, can I kiss you now?”

Jiang Shi looked at him coldly, his eyes devoid of any emotion. “There will be plenty of time after we are married.” He paused for a moment and then asked, “Did you put on perfume?”

It smelled so good. Why had he never noticed this fragrance before? Furthermore, when did this notorious scoundrel of their social circle start speaking with such a soft voice? It sounded like he was acting spoiled.

Jian Tao did not seem to expect such a sudden question. He shook his head blankly and replied, “No, I did not.”

Jiang Shi also realized that the question he had asked on impulse was ridiculous, as he did not care about anything related to Jian Tao at all. “Fine. I am leaving now.”

Jian Tao watched him walk away before turning back. He let out a sigh of relief. He was glad that Jiang Shi had not actually endured his disgust to kiss him.

When he returned to the apricot tree, his parents were already gone. Only the butler, Su Wen, remained, sitting there with his back to Jian Tao. It seemed as though his marriage was not a matter worth celebrating. However, Jian Tao did not mind, because he was here to fulfill the role of the “cannon fodder villain.” His responsibility was to complete the cannon fodder plot lines 100%. Once the plot completion reached its maximum, he would be able to leave this world.

At that moment, the voice of System 250 sounded in his mind, reporting with the full-bodied emotions of an anime character, “Plot completion is at 10%!”

“Congratulations, Tao Tao! You have made such great progress just after arriving!”

Jian Tao also secretly rejoiced. He had been in this world for less than an hour, yet the plot had already progressed by 10%. The scene that had just unfolded was the first plot node. Everyone had teamed up to deceive him. Why did he have to sign a contract to get married? It was because the person he was going to marry was not Jiang Shi at all, but rather his older brother, Jiang Mu, the terrifying and unpredictable patriarch of the Jiang family.

This world was constructed from a wealthy-family BL novel. The protagonist was Jiang Shi, and the male lead was the butler, Su Wen, who had worked in their home since childhood and was raised as an adopted son. The two were childhood friends and both were intelligent individuals with highly compatible attributes.

This lasted until Jian Tao, the cannon fodder villain, appeared out of nowhere. He had been disfigured in a car accident years ago and wore a mask all day. He had a dark and malicious personality and was a famous scoundrel. After taking a liking to Jiang Shi, he launched a frantic pursuit and suppressed Su Wen, whom he viewed as a rival in love. Consequently, under the conspiracy of those two, this marriage alliance was formed.

Jiang Shi could get rid of Jian Tao, and the Jian and Jiang families could fulfill an old marriage agreement. It was a plan that killed two birds with one stone. As for this cannon fodder villain, because he married the wrong person, he would eventually turn completely black-hearted and launch a series of schemes against the couple. Unexpectedly, his actions would instead help the two protagonists realize their feelings for each other. The final result for him would be to be suppressed by their combined efforts, suffer a relapse of his old illness, and die tragically in a bathtub.

“Next, we will start the next task point: making the protagonist, Su Wen, accompany you as part of your dowry,” System 250 said. “In the original text, the reason he accompanies you stems from your bullying. As a form of revenge, he follows you to the Jiang family mainly to prevent you from running away after discovering you were deceived. Afterward, he can also develop his relationship line with the protagonist.”

“Completing this task will increase the plot progress by 20%.”

After hearing this, Jian Tao fixed his gaze on Su Wen under the apricot tree. He could not help but think of the scene where Jiang Mu, Jiang Shi, Su Wen, and himself would all be under one roof. Jian Tao shuddered; that scene would be absolutely terrifying.

“Tao Tao, go for it!” System 250 cheered him on.

“Mm!” Jian Tao responded and watched Su Wen’s figure as he walked toward him.

Jian Tao sat down opposite Su Wen. At this moment, the man was leisurely drinking tea. Even at home, his clothes were worn meticulously. He wore a shirt and a vest, with every button fastened to the very top. His expression was one of strict discipline, his eyes were sharp, and his features possessed an aggressive beauty. The gold-rimmed glasses on his nose added a touch of refined softness.

“I am about to marry Jiang Shi, yet you still haven’t congratulated me.” Jian Tao tugged at his collar. His fingers brushed against his fair skin, leaving a red mark. Since he now viewed Su Wen as a rival, he deliberately tried to provoke him.

Su Wen merely looked at Jian Tao calmly, a trace of a smile curling at the corner of his mouth. He wondered when the young master of the Jian family would stop being so stupid. “Congratulations, Young Master, on finally getting what you desired.”

Jian Tao let out a “hmpf” and then picked up a teacup, pretending to drink to hide his nervousness. He called out to System 250 for help, “System, give me some insulting words.”

Although 250 was a beginner system, it was very considerate and immediately found various villain dialogue templates from novels. “Choose the one you think sounds the most natural.”

Jian Tao cleared his throat. He was a bit nervous. Just looking at some of the highly insulting swear words made his face turn red. He chose one that he felt he could actually say and looked at Su Wen. “Remember this: you will always be a dog of the Jian family. No one will ever look up to you.”

After saying this, even Jian Tao’s neck turned red. He repeatedly apologized to Su Wen in his heart and did not dare to look at him, standing up immediately to walk back into the villa.

Su Wen remained in his seat. The hand holding the teacup paused. It was not strange for such words to come out of Jian Tao’s mouth, but today, the tone used by the eldest young master of the Jian family was exceptionally soft and sweet.

Upon returning to his room, Jian Tao immediately breathed a sigh of relief. “System, how was my performance just now?”

System 250 immediately gave him validation. “Superb!” It then displayed Su Wen’s task progress bar. “The plot progress just went up a little bit.”

“It doesn’t seem like much,” Jian Tao muttered. He took off the stifling mask and entered the bathroom.

He intended to take a shower, but he stopped because he saw himself in the mirror. He raised his hand and touched his face in surprise. “System, look! This is clearly my own face!”

After reaching an agreement with the system, he had heard the system say that in any world he traveled to, he would have the hideous appearance of a cannon fodder villain, as this would make it easier for him to complete tasks. But at this moment, this face was clearly his own. There was not a single trace of the original character’s terrifying and disfigured face.

System 250 also noticed the anomaly. “Wait a moment. Let me try to activate the beauty shielding function again.” After a while, 250 was dumbfounded. “The system shows that the beauty level has broken the peak value and cannot be shielded.”

Jian Tao asked, “Will that be an obstacle to completing the task?”

The person and the system fell into silence. The concept of beauty breaking the peak value was something 250 had never heard of in the system world.

“Well, it probably won’t have much of an impact. After all, you are currently the notorious Young Master Jian. That won’t change just because of a face,” System 250 said, breaking the silence. Seeing Jian Tao squatting on the floor looking worried, the system immediately rallied. As a system, its main job was to regulate the host’s emotions. “What is our slogan?”

As if by reflex, Jian Tao immediately stood up and raised his small fist. “Be annoying! Do bad things!”

“In that case, we will be even more annoying and do even more bad things!” System 250 said firmly.

Jian Tao was also pumped up. “I want to be the worst villain!”

After regaining his spirit, he took a bubble bath for a while, but he did not dare to soak for too long. He was currently plagued by many illnesses. Although the system shielded the pain, he could still feel the weakness of his body.

When he came out of the bathroom, Jian Tao’s whole body was flushed pink, and his eyes were misty. He walked to the balcony and opened the window to let the breeze in. Turning around, he saw a hanging birdcage. A cockatiel was staring blankly at him.

“Wow! System, look, it’s so cute!” Jian Tao felt his heart melting. “Wow!” System 250 also felt the sense of being overwhelmed by cuteness.

Outside the window was the backyard of the villa, where hundreds of types of green plants and flowers were grown, resembling a large romantic garden. A gentle breeze carrying the scent of flowers blew against his body, making him feel relaxed and content.

At this time, Su Wen was walking in the backyard and smoking. He was in a good mood today because the person he loathed would soon disappear from his sight. Su Wen exhaled a cloud of smoke. Just as he was about to throw away the finished cigarette butt, he caught a glimpse of light. He unintentionally looked up and saw the lit window on the third floor.

There was a profile of a person inside the window. When his gaze fell upon that person, his footsteps stopped instantly. He did not notice that his heart rate had already exceeded its normal speed. He only reacted and dropped the cigarette butt to the ground when it burned his hand.

Who was that? Why would they be in Jian Tao’s room?

Jian Tao was quite satisfied with his current room. It was clean and tidy, and the interior decorations followed a normal aesthetic. There were even two innocent-looking dolls on the bed. The pleasant environment allowed him to fall into a dream quickly.

Just past midnight, there were occasional sounds of cicadas outside the window. The sheer curtains swayed in the wind, and the room was filled with a steady silence. At this time, the sound of a handle turning rang out, followed by the bedroom door opening. A figure walked into the room.

The moonlight from outside the window made the person on the bed look hazy. The beautiful small face was buried in the soft pillow. The person standing by the bed could not help but gasp, whispering softly, “Is this… Jian Tao?”

A pleasant fragrance drew Su Wen to lean down. He looked at the person on the bed. The eyes were soft, and the long eyelashes were thick and curled. Beneath the exquisite nose was a fleshy little mouth that was currently glowing with an inviting pink luster.

Warm breath floated onto his face like mist. He could not help but sniff deeply. “It smells so good.”
