Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder Suddenly Made a Comeback!

"Jiang Li, I'm warning you, don't set your sights on Yinwan anymore, or I'll make the entire Jiang Family accompany you in death!"

The man's furious voice by her ear made Jiang Li, who was already feeling groggy, even more uncomfortable.

Following a bout of tinnitus, she struggled to open her eyes and finally saw the scene around her—

Flashing with colorful effects, the computer screen was in front of her, her hand rested on a mouse on the desk, and from the headphones on her head, a man's interrogative voice kept coming through.

Looking at the modern society's gadgets around her, Jiang Li finally realized her current situation.

—She had traveled back again.

She was called Jiang Li, a supporting character in a novel titled "The Top Celebrity Wife of the Paranoid CEO." After a muddled and unbearable life manipulated by the plot, she transmigrated hundreds of years to the past into the Daqi Dynasty, becoming the legitimate eldest daughter of a distinguished Marquis Mansion.

That was the happiest life she had ever lived.

There, she broke free from the plot's control, living the life she wanted, and became the person she aspired to be.

However, just when she thought she could finally enjoy a life of freedom according to her will, she had traveled back again.

Could it be that she still couldn't escape that ridiculous and pathetic fate?

"Hey, speak up; don't play mute."

"You better tell me quickly where you've hidden Yinwan!"

The man's voice in the headset became more and more agitated, as if he could tear her to shreds across the void.

Jiang Li's eyes narrowed.

She identified who the voice belonged to—Shang Shaojing, the male protagonist of "The Top Celebrity Wife of the Paranoid CEO," a domineering, obsessive, and utterly unreasonable CEO. The "Yinwan" he mentioned was the novel's female protagonist, Su Yinwan.

And she, she was the no-brainer follower of the domineering male lead, the jealous antagonist of the sweet and naive female lead—the damned vicious supporting character.

If only being a supporting character was okay, but she was not even an important side character; she was mere cannon fodder for the sake of the plot—

On her very first appearance, she kidnapped the female lead, enraged the male lead, attracted mortal peril, and even dragged her entire family into the male lead's revenge.

Thinking of the extremely painful life she had led, the malicious aura in Jiang Li's eyes surged uncontrollably.

Having experienced the brilliant and colorful life in ancient times, she no longer wanted to be a puppet manipulated by the plot.

But now, with her own consciousness, perhaps she had already escaped the plot's hold?

With this thought, Jiang Li gripped the headset and tentatively called out, "Shang Shaojing?"

The other party immediately let out a cold laugh, "Jiang Li, you've stopped playing mute, huh? Answer my question—where exactly is Su Yinwan?!"

After confirming that she did not possess the giddy excitement of receiving a call from the male lead, like in her past life, Jiang Li's gaze grew indifferent, and then she emotionlessly hung up the call.

Since she was no longer under the control of the plot, there was no need to waste her breath on him.

She definitely did not want to have even the slightest connection with that brainless and vengeful male lead.

The sidekick watching Jiang Li's expression change drastically after the call immediately stopped their gaming, took off their headphones, and indignantly said:

"Sister Li, did that woman Su Yinwan cause you trouble again? In my opinion, we should just tie that bitch up and teach her a lesson, see if she dares to compete with you for men again!"

Jiang Li's gaze shifted to the young man beside her.

After studying him for a few seconds, she gradually retrieved information about the male from her already blurry memory—her number one underling, Xiang Hao.

In the book, her character was designed as a highly rebellious rich girl.

After her father's early death, she defied her mother's control and hung around with street gangsters all day.

Having met the handsome and wealthy male lead at a banquet, she fell hopelessly in love with him.

But at that time, Shang Shaojing had already been deeply involved with the female lead, Su Yinwan.

In her quest to win Shang Shaojing's affection, she frequently made things difficult for the female lead.

Thus, when the female lead played the game of cat and mouse—"disappearing" on purpose, Shang Shaojing called and directly demanded people from her.

That's what led to the opening scene.

And in the book, she, already filled with jealousy towards the female lead and further ridiculed over the phone by the male lead, immediately took Xiang Hao's advice and kidnapped Su Yinwan.

Yet before she had the chance to teach her a lesson, the male lead arrived to play the hero, and instead, she was the one who got a beating.

Afterward, the entire Jiang Family became a thorn in Shang Shaojing's side, gradually ostracized by the Capital's clans, and finally walked the road towards bankruptcy and extinction.

But at this moment—

Jiang Li slowly stood up from the chair, lifting her hand to smooth out the wrinkles on her dress.

"No need, I'm not interested in uncultured men."

Xiang Hao: ?

He could hardly believe his own ears.

Didn't Sister Li fancy that man surnamed Shang to the point of no return? Why did she lose interest in him after just one game?

His gaze shifted back to the girl in front of him, and Xiang Hao thought there might be something wrong with his eyes.

Otherwise, why did he suddenly feel that Sister Li seemed different from one minute ago?

One minute ago, she was gripping the mouse, shouting as she fought in the game.

A minute later, Jiang Li stood before him, emanating an aura of inviolability, and her eyes were filled with an indifferent light.

A light of maturity and experience that did not belong to her age.

It was as if the place she stood was not a smoky internet cafe but should have been a battlefield bristling with activity.

And she was the commander reviewing her troops.

Regaining his senses, Xiang Hao swallowed hard, "Sister Li, what's wrong with you? Even if that woman Su Yinwan made you angry, you shouldn't really upset yourself."

Jiang Li looked at him.

As expected, due to the power of the plot, her little sidekick couldn't stop talking about Su Yinwan in eight out of ten sentences.

It was pointless to explain further to him.

So she raised her hand and gently patted his shoulder.

"Xiang Hao, study hard, and strive to become a well-mannered, law-abiding person who can make a contribution to the country."

"I won't accompany you anymore, I'm going home."

"By the way, you should go home early too, don't worry your parents."

Having said that, she left the internet cafe without looking back, leaving Xiang Hao dumbfounded in his gaming chair.

What was going on?

Was it Jiang Li, who was addicted to skipping classes, telling him to study hard and serve the country?

Was it Jiang Li, who often ran away from home, now voluntarily going back and advising him not to worry his parents?

Had he gone mad, or had the world gone mad?

The moment she stepped out of the internet cafe, her vision suddenly brightened, and the intense sunlight made Jiang Li squint her eyes.

At this moment, the Capital had already entered early summer, with the sunlight warm and gentle and the breeze mild, everything was just right.

She had also returned at just the right time.

After flagging down a car, Jiang Li sat down, smoothing her skirt.

Initially, she wanted to go directly home, but upon seeing herself in the rearview mirror, topped with an outlandish hairstyle, Jiang Li fell silent.

"Hello, Master, please take me to the nearest barbershop, thank you."

The driver was somewhat surprised.

The pink-haired girl seemed so edgy, but unexpectedly, she was quite polite.

Coming to his senses, he also switched to a kindly smile, "Alright, girl, fasten your seatbelt, and off we go!"
