She’s somehow ended up transmigrating into the book as the supporting female lead, who was beaten to death! Deeply in love with the male lead, she’s fated to be beaten to a bloody pulp before even holding hands with him?!
First things first, she needs to survive and latch onto the big thigh of a patron. But the supporting male lead is a true gentleman and feels nothing for her stunning, alluring body. That’s alright! She’ll latch onto the old madame or the male lead then!
But why does the supporting male lead look at her with increasingly odd eyes? And what of that Wulin Alliance Head with the personality disorder? You’re just a random bystander, what are you getting involved for??
Finally, the male lead could bear it no longer and dragged her back to the Prince Li Manor…
Finally completed. A bit long toward the end but overall quite cute and fluffy.

After about 20 overly dramatic nonsense and boring chapters, the story is back on track! We still have some drama, but the fluff is back and the protagonist is cuter than ever. On the other hand, the male lead can't keep his pants on and the supporting characters are desperately trying to steal the spotlight from our leads. And failing hard.
I'm getting bothered by the fact he's actually not in love with the real her. And the story is getting less cute and fluffy :(

Dooming to be cannon fodder is the story of a young woman who got reincarnated in the novel she was currently reading after being stung by a cactus. She reincarnated into a supporting character destined to be the rival of the female lead and die tragically. The only way to prevent that? Don't fall in love with the male lead, live in peace away from the other concubines and mybe try to seduce the second male lead so he could protect her. Easy peasy. And as she tries to live peacefully and ignore the male lead, she doesn't see that he's totally hooked and that she has become the protagonist.
It's cute, funny, fluffy and with little drama with a supporting character-turned-MC absolutely endearing and silly and a sexually super frustrated male lead. The story is really entertaining and adorable and the translation is flawless. I can't wait to have all the chapters!
Liu Yangyang, a 26 years old horticulturist, quickly joining the ranks of leftover women destined for spinsterhood. That was until she woke up as Bai Xiangxiu, 15 years old 4th concubine of Prince Long Heng. And immediately she knew she was doomed. Because the 4th concubine was destined to die after trying to go against the FL according to the book she transmigrated into. Liu Yangyang had only one option if she wanted to stay alive, she had to latch onto the second biggest thigh, the 2nd male lead, Song Jiaoyue.
The story was humorous because of Bai Xiangxiu antics. She's desperate to get the hell out of there and at the same time remain as a shadow. But, it's a bit hard to do that because she's the No 1 beauty and the more she ignore her husband, the more he's interested in her. Because her mind was stuck on latching on Song Jiaoyue, she tried everything she could to get the FL to like the ML, her husband. By doing so, she unintentionally turned into a virtuous wife. And what man could ignore such a wife.
The book was fully translated and can be bought on Kindle. Or you can tweak the internet and do some magic.
Se você lê em inglês e quer algo fofo, engraçado e diferente, você tem que ler esse livro! É o meu favorito na atualidade.
Sinopse em português traduzido por mim:
Ela de alguma forma acabou transmigrando para dentro de um livro como a personagem feminina de apoio, que foi espancada até a morte! Apaixonada pelo protagonista, ela estaria destinada a ser espancada em uma massa sanguinolenta antes mesmo de se dormir com ele?!
Parte por parte, ela precisa sobreviver e conseguir se agarrar em alguém que a proteja. Mas o protagonista secundário é um verdadeiro cavalheiro e não sente nada por seu corpo deslumbrante e sedutor. Tudo bem! Ela vai se prender na sogra ou no protagonista então!
Mas por que o protagonista secundário a olha com olhos cada vez mais estranhos? E o que é aquele Chefe da Aliança Wulin com o transtorno da personalidade? Você é apenas uma espectadora aleatória, para o que você está se envolvendo?
Finalmente, o protagonista não aguentou mais e a arrastou para a mansão do Príncipe Li …
Para começar, o que é um Cannon Fodder? Você já deve ter assistido algum filme de super herói, então deve saber que sempre tem uma luta do herói contra umas 100 pessoas ao mesmo tempo. Todas essas 100 pessoas são facilmente derrotadas com um peteleco do herói, para mostrar o quão forte ele é. Um Cannon Fodder é um desses personagens que nasceram para levarem um peteleco do protagonista e serem derrotados. Um personagem descartável que serve para enaltecer os protagonistas.
A protagonista, Bai Xiangxiu, é uma Cannon Fodder!
Mas como isso aconteceu?
É uma história dentro de uma história. Ela, um dia lia um romance de época sobre uma garota que foge do casamento com um general que ganhou o título de príncipe. Ao longo da história, vários homens se apaixonam por ela, mas ela se apaixona pelo príncipe, que tem várias mulheres apaixonadas por ele. Os apaixonados por ela a protegem, as apaixonadas por ele fazem várias intrigas para acabar com a vida dela. A leitora tinha acabado de ler sobre o que aconteceu com a concubina Bai Xiangxiu, que foi espancada até a morte a mando do príncipe depois de tetar prejudicar a protagonista. Foi uma cena bem gráfica.
Então a leitora espeta o dedo em um cacto e vai parar no corpo de Bai Xiangxiu antes da história do livro começar.
A história é basicamente Bai Xiangxiu tentando não ter um fim tão trágico.

This was an okay book for the most part, but I kinda regretted starting it halfway through. I don't like to stop reading books in the middle though, so I forced myself to finish reading, but overall I had a lot of problems with the story and the characters.
It's a transmigration story that follows our FL as she transmigrates from the modern world into the novel she's currently reading. I forget her name in the modern world, but she transmigrates into one of the cannon fodder female supporting roles called Bai Xiangxiu. In the original novel, BXX plays all sorts of dirty tricks to try and seduce the ML and consequently dies an early and gruesome death.
The FL is super paranoid about falling into the same path, so she's absolutely determined to keep her head down and not attract any extra attention from anyone and especially the ML, Long Heng. She even tries to grab the thigh of the ML's best friend and one of the supporting male leads (there are many) Song Jiaoyue, but her plan fails. However, little does she know that every time she tries act low key or seduce SJY, she ends up getting Long Heng's attention and slowly he takes an interest in her.
I didn't like how firmly stuck in a transmigration mindset Bai Xiangxiu was for the longest time. This quote describes her thoughts very well:
Bai Xiangxiu had been entirely focused on avoiding her death ever since she'd arrived. All of her efforts and thinking had gone into how she could survive in these ancient times. She simply hadn't had the leisure to think about relationship matters until now. This had resulted in her appearing extremely foolish in the area of relationships. However, she still understood somewhat that the male lead was a bit different from how he was portrayed in the novel. At the very least, his attitude towards her was completely different.
However, she was currently just treating herself as a passing guest, not wanting to partake in matters of the heart as much as possible. This was because the other party was the male lead, and would become the female lead's man sooner or later.
Bai Xiangxiu doesn't consider herself part of this world for the longest time and looks forward to returning back to her own world. I'm not sure why she's so optimistic about her chances of returning, and specifically in one year's time by pricking herself with a cactus, but it was annoying to hear her constantly mention it. She doesn't even want to move residences to live right next to the ML because she's afraid she'll miss her chance to return to her own world if she changes locations.
BXX also keeps thinking that she's going to have a bad end because of her knowledge of the novel, even though she behaves completely differently from the BXX in the novel. I get her paranoia initially, but when things start diverging and she still can't let go of it and is terrified of antagonizing the OG FL and the ML, it was quite annoying to read.
In general I wasn't a big fan of any of the main characters. Bai Xiangxiu is so physically weak. I can't tell you how many times I rolled my eyes because she got injured because of a tiny bump or fall. And most of the time when she gets injured, it's because she's so scared by the ML. She's a person from the modern world, so I have a hard time understanding how she's so timid. BXX is also supposed to be an incredible beauty, and I got tired real quick of hearing all about how she's the prettiest woman every male has ever seen.
As for the ML Long Heng, the author keeps repeating his bias against women and how he's still a virgin at his age because he doesn't trust any women, which also got old pretty quick. Once he falls in love with BXX, he becomes a little bit more tolerable, and it was nice to see him stick up for her in front of his mom and express his loyalty to her at the end, but it was hard to like him in the beginning for the longest time.
As for the side characters, some of the male characters were okay, but sadly I really hated all of the female characters. I wanted Bai Xiangxiu to have one close friend or confidante other than her maid, but sadly everyone was out to get her. The OG female lead Lin Qianzi, the females from the Bai family (her mom and younger sister), another transmigrator that appears later in the novel, literally every single female character of any importance is constantly scheming against her and that got old. In particular, I really hated the original female lead Lin Qianzi. She has some serious mental issues if she falls in love with every single male that treats her kindly and sleeps with them.
The story also dragged at times and I thought there were some plot holes. I absolutely hated the part in the middle where BXX runs off to help her hubby with the war. It dragged for much longer than I would have liked and I found myself skimming, especially the parts where she invents gunpowder and shows Long Heng how to break the chained horse formation used by the enemy. Even if she is a transmigrator, how to make gunpowder is not common knowledge that the average modern person knows, and her original profession of working with plants does not lend itself to this kind of knowledge.
I was also confused by how the original FL was able to get away with her actions time after time again and especially how she became a favored concubine of the emperor when 1) she's already been married before and 2) she's already had a kid. The emperor's not going to want used goods, like come on....
Another weird point in the story was bits of supernatural abilities the author randomly decided to throw in, like the talking cactus and the devil's snare plant. It just seemed like an overly convenient way for the FL to be OP and spy on people and waltz right into prisons without suffering any consequences. I would've much preferred this story without these elements.
Quite a long one. The main character Isekai-drops into the kind of bad 70s penny romance novel that makes my grandmother swoon (the paperbacks that always have a half naked muscular man clutching a swooning damsel in distress on the cover). Too bad in real life its a blood bath with lots of overly dominating male love interests who might murder you if you take a wrong turn. My favorite aspect is the narrator. It is third person limited and constantly switches between the perspectives of different characters. I love seeing how they all secretly view eachother and the narrator is very expressive of each individuals personality. Downsides are typically plot points that come out of nowhere and seem to be there for convenience of resolving an issue, then are never mentioned again. In the same vein, some things that are hinted at early on, never materialize. Overall, its of great quality, but not consistent in its worldbuilding, which can probably be attributed to it being released chapter by chapter, rather than published in one go. Had the author been able to go back and edit/smooth everything out after finishing it would likely be a bit more condensed and a bit more consistent. It gets a 4/5 in honor of my sleepless nights completing it, but it does in many ways feel like an unedited final draft of a book.
This girl was so annoying. She was SCARED of EVERYTHING! Use your brain! The reason why your character die is bc she was a manipulative bitch! You are not. You will be fine! She is scared of death but not scared of what is essentially cheating, and if get caught, WILLL 100% LEAD TO HER DEATH! (And she hasn't even done anything mean yet!). I've read from some other reviews that ML rape her later, so I'm not interested. Why do writers have to write about women suffering pain during sex? It happens in the other book I've read to, and it was distasteful.
Sebenarnya ini adalah kali ketiga aku baca cerita ni. Cerita yang sangat menarik. Berbeza dengan novel-novel melayu dan english yang ku baca. Selalunya dalam novel-novel melayu atau english, heroin jatuh cinta dengan hero dan sanggup buat apa saja demi hero. hero akan jatuh cinta dengan heroin kemudian.
Tapi cerita ini tidak sama sekali. Heroin termasuk dalam novel yang sedang di bacanya dan menjadi salah satu watak sampingan di dalam novel tersebut yang akan dijatuhkan hukuman sebat sampai mati. Jadi dia dah tahu kesudahan watak yang dia terima. maka dia berusaha untuk menyelamatkan dirinya agar tidak dijatuhkan hukuman mati. Dalam usaha dia cuba menyelamatkan dirinya itu, tanpa disedari sikapnya, tingkah lakunya telah menarik perhatian hero.
Yang paling aku suka adalah bagaimana hero begitu menyintai heroin dengan sepenuh hati. Segalanya ditunjuk melalui perbuatannya. Jalan ceritanya memang menarik. melihat interaksi antara hero dan heroin. Seperti biasalah mesti ada langgau yang menggangu, tapi berjaya mereka hadapi.
really worth it..wlaupun chapters nya beneran banyak, but the story will make u enjoy it. imagine if u could be a transmigrator. masuk ke sebuah cerita didalam buku, dimana kamu tau karakter yg kamu mainkan itu hanya supporting character yg bakalan mati tragis.apa ga nyesek, coba??disaat kamu berjuang habis2an untuk bertahan hidup, berusaha menghindari masalah dan mencoba hidup tenang (itu termasuk menghindari pemeran utama cow nya) eh malah justru si hero nya ga tertarik ma karakter cewek utama trus malah balik mengejar dirimu si cewek pemeran pendukung kedua.disitu kamu ngerasa bingung..... karena koq malah melenceng dari cerita yaa???in the end, no matter how far u run, trouble will always found u and that's include our lead hero.hahaha.karena akhirnya supporting character berubah jadi pemeran utama ceweknya. worth it lah, wlw mata jd sedikit perih krn melototin hape terus2an buat baca cerita ampe ending, tapi beneran ga ngecewain kq.
Safe - story starts with the H being engaged to 1 high status woman, and he has 4 concubines. They were all arranged by his mother. He remains completely faithful after meeting the h (one of his concubines). - H and h are both virgins - dub con, rape - h and side characters. - ancient China period, thus dont read if you're easily offended. - h 15/H20. The h is a 26 years old horticulturist when she is ported into a book to become a supporting character that the H kills at the end of the book. Things dont go well, because she ends up stealing the main male lead's heart from the main female lead- against her wishes. - While h appeared to be a naive and innocent concubine who was prone to illness due to her weak body, she was actually a scheming and cunning young woman. This made the novel quite hilarious!
HEA (no H doesnt kill the h at the end, she changed the plot when she was ported in).
World building is okay. The main girl and guy is acceptable. BUT majority of the secondary characters and even the villains are irritating. Also the cycle of overcoming one villain and then another one suddenly appears again is very tiring.
I'm not that satisfied with the ending but at least it was a happy one.
What I like about this is the main guy's affection towards the main girl. It was so sweet. :) A bit uncomfortable with how ladies are regarded as weaklings and with lower social status in this world. And the presence of concubines being treated as a norm on this society.
All in all it was an enjoyable read but it would have been better if the number of villains are not that numerous and it could have ended earlier.
Realmente esta lectura finiquitó a principios de año pero he estado tan ocupada con la universidad que no sé, literal, dónde anda mi mente jajaja. DCF recuerdo (yisus xD) fue una lectura muy divertida y entretenida principalmente debido al protagonista, LH, y su deseo de comerse a cierta conejita. Además del romance, puedo decir que la mayoría del plot se enfoca en un especie de parodia más cómica con respecto al tema recurrente de la transmigración en las novelas chinas pero luego pasa a una trama más seria para casi al final con intrigas políticas y batallas. En un sentido general, me gustó, excepto que recuerdo haber considerado varios capítulos del último arco como muy de relleno y en lo particular me aburrieron hasta el extremo.
This novel was pretty terrible. At first I really enjoyed it as I felt it to be refreshing and the characters were interesting with the potential to be so much more. Boy was I wrong. As the story went on, the plot just got more and more ridiculous. To make matters worse, the characters that I had so much hope in regressed and became really annoying and childish. I do not recommend this novel to anyone UNLESS they have absolutely nothing left in their arsenal to read.
Hmm... Yeah this was Ok... but it depends if it's your cup of coffee. (I never really liked reverse Harem, but don't worry this is not a reverse Harem. It's just a lot of the guys liked the heroine, and I did not like that -_- heroine is for the Hero only) Some of the things that happened really was not to my liking but thankfully all is good with the main characters until the end so I still rated it as high as I could.
3.5 star Would have been 4 stars for he fun factor if not the the last 1/4 of the book. While it was nonetheless enjoyable, it didn't have that same sense of levity and entertainment as the earlier 3/4 as I was hoping it would just end already! Lol That being said, I enjoyed most of these characters especially Yu Kuang/ Yu Shu (even tho we didn't spend a lot of time with him)
I love this series. It is cute and quite hilarious. This first volume ended in an epic fashion. In the last few scenes both MC and the male lead almost get to establish their relationship just for her monthlies to make an appearance causing him to freak out cause he believes she is so frail that he will hurt her. That scene made this entire first volume hilarious. That and the talking cactus..
This story is quite long so it’s understandable that the plot deviates a fair bit from the main plot. However, all in all, this is still a good and entertain read. I particularly like the side stories..
This was so good. I loved the MC. She is a gardner and can communicate with cacti from the past present and future. Its funny and cute. She's not the usual OP assassin MC that transmigrates so that made it better. Very good read.
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.
This novel started out very strong for me.. but the latter half if it just felt like a convuluted mess of every other transmigration novels out there. Still enjoyed it coz I'm a sucker for transmigration novels
It was a cute story, I mean, it's quite different from the overpowered female leads in transmigration novels but still in par at the same time, like making her unparalleled beauty her powers. 😅
It was cute. I'm kinda bummed I can't find more books with this storyline.
