Acting Like a Cannon Fodder is the Best Life
Yan Yan has become the cannon fodder in the novel.
Young Master Cannon Fodder was lost when he was a child, and when he was found he was covered with scent of red dust (1) , his lazy look provoked annoyance. So it didn’t take long for the cannon fodder to be sent to marriage by his family. The marriage partner is the protagonist of the book.
After the marriage, the cannon fodder not only failed to curb it , but became more able to do it. He pestered the protagonist all day acting coquettish, and finally the protagonist gave the cannon fodder a huge sum of money and drove the person out of the house.
After seeing the “end” of the cannon fodder, Yan Yan’s eyes lit up. Behave in a spoiled manner? He is best at it. It is guaranteed that the protagonist will not be able to bear it within three months, and he will be driven out with a huge sum of money.
Because of a favor owed by his father, Ji Juechuan, who has already achieved something at a young age, had to marry the young master of Yanjia who doesn’t love his mother or father.
On the first day of cohabitation before marriage, Ji Juechuan sat on the side of the bed and looked at his mobile phone. His face became even more ugly when he thought that he would be sleeping in a bed with the perfume-scented person. He will make it clear as soon as he arrives, and let the man pay attention to his behavior.
The bathroom door opened, and a soft and refreshing ball rolled into his arms. The young man with wet hair raised his face and smiled sweetly: “Husband, can I sleep with you tonight?”
Ji Juechuan looked at the person in his arms for a long time, and his Adam’s apple moved slightly.
“Yes.”
Later, Yan Yan received a huge sum of money from Ji Juechuan. It was just that the ticket he had prepared was torn to pieces. The man’s hot hands pressed against his waist, his tone dangerous.
“Yanyan, our wedding hasn’t been held yet, where do you want to go?”
Yan Yan:? That’s not what it says in the book!
*Mr Ji at the beginning: #Who is his wife? Anyway, it’s not my wife#
Later: #Do you have a wife yourself? Why do you covet my wife all day? #
*sā jiāo in the title means to act like a spoiled child/ to act coquettishly
*(1) 红尘 (hóng chén) the world of mortals (Buddhism) / worldly affairs. It’s a part of a poem, the actual phrase is 看破红尘 ( kān pò hóng chén) to see through the world of mortals or to see through red dust/ disillusioned with human society to reject the world for a monastic life

Cute, stupid, predictable low stakes novel. Just like all the others of this type
August 25, 2024
this was a fun read! all fluff and no big angst. just some classic wife-chasing near the end. while i did enjoy this, its probably the most basic you can get with an oblivious, cute mc x cold, domineering ml plot. its more just their daily life and slowly falling for each other. the chapters were pretty long too. i see why this wouldn't be someone's cup of tea but i was hooked enough to keep reading for 5 days. 🤷♀️

BEWARE of SPOILER
The MC transmigrated into another world and, thanks to limited memories from the body’s original owner, quickly realized he was just a cannon fodder character. Fortunately, unlike the usual doom-and-gloom trope, this cannon fodder’s original ending wasn’t tragic. Still, the MC decided to stick to the plot—just to be safe.
From those inherited memories, he also learned one key detail: the ML absolutely hated coquettish, clingy behavior. Unfortunately for the MC, that’s exactly what he had been good at his entire life. So naturally, in a twisted bit of logic (and dedication to following the plot), the MC doubled down on acting as coquettish as possible—hoping to be hated and left alone.
Many readers criticized the MC, saying he was too old to act like a “baby.” But if you read between the lines, the MC had just finished high school in his previous world. Meanwhile, the ML, though also young, had been forced to mature early due to his circumstances. So while the age gap wasn't large, their emotional maturity levels definitely were.
In his previous life, the MC learned that elders responded positively to his cute, spoiled behavior. It became second nature until peers at school pointed out how out of place it was. After that, he toned it down and reserved it only for family. In this new world, however, he consciously brought it back—not because it came naturally anymore, but because he thought it was necessary for the “role” he was playing.
What many overlook is that the MC didn’t actually need to act at all. He was naturally innocent, sheltered, and raised with such care that it made people instinctively want to protect him. But don’t let the soft exterior fool you—he had bite when necessary. Still, those closest to him would rather get their hands dirty themselves than let his purity be tainted.
