Dressed As a Cannon Fodder For the Rich and Powerful

Description

Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.

Qi Xiaoyu was a pillar of the Red Moon Troupe during the Republic of China period. He had a unique appearance, figure, and singing style. His ability to adapt to all kinds of people and situations is even more remarkable.

Meanwhile, Qi Xiaoyu, the starlet in the novel “Sick President Sadistically Loves Me”, is the complete opposite. As a small cannon fodder who had a “warding-off” wedding with the soon-to-be-dying President Xun in order to “wash away” his bad luck and “cure his illness,” this person is s*upid, conceited, arrogant, and proud of his beauty. He gave the president a green hat, coveted the president’s family property, framed the protagonist shou, and was finally sent to an asylum by the sick president, where he was locked up until he turned into an actual lunatic.

When Qi Xiaoyu transmigrated, it was the same night that he was sent to the sick president for the warding-off ceremony……

Qi Xiaoyu judged the situation and was very clear about what he wanted:

Before the protagonist shou appeared, he would obediently clamp his tail tightly between his legs, coax the president into submission, and strive to develop his acting career. After the protagonist shou appeared, he would work hard to match the two of them, retire after success, and divorce the president!

Qi Xiaoyu blinked his big, innocent eyes and smiled, saying, “What the Third Master said is right. Come on, I’ll massage your legs.”

His face is harmless, innocent, and pure.

At the beginning, Third Master Xun casually glanced at Qi Xiaoyu and said, “I have a cleanliness habit. Don’t just push a random person toward me.”

Not long after, Third Master Xun lazily looked at Qi Xiaoyu at his side and said, “This little thing is quite attentive.”

Later, Third Master Xun, whose attitude has completely made a 180-degree turn, couldn’t leave his wife for a day and just wanted to spoil him to heaven.

Love everything about this novel. Even though MC is quite OP because of his experience from his past life...

But it still made me read to the end..

Edit: although MC's mind is quite mature due to his experience from his childhood, readers must consider that he's not perfect. As the author had stated at the end of text he's just 23 when he transmigrated in the book.

❤️😍🥰

Well, I was first going to refute some of the negative comments, but then after thinking about it... they’re not THAT wrong (except the 1 star rating one... can’t accept it. Personally, I feel like no story deserves 1 star, idk, anyways.)

Tho I personally enjoyed this novel a lot (until now) idk I have problem continue reading whenever it gets to the real romance part / staring a relationship part... I may take a break from reading this for now (but only bc of personal feelings ahdksjks!!!!)

I find... more>> it intriguing that the person who transmigrated was from the „Republic of China period“ haha I haven’t seen that before~

OK SO, to that one star review, I just want to say that MC is not dumb?? Also he didn’t deserved to be cursed at, we should try not being rude~
Spoiler

considering his situation, where he firstly just wanted to survive and be nice to ML so that he won’t destroy his life in the future (like the novel plot) he’s just trying to not make ML unhappy... then he seems to have some budding feelings which are crushed pretty early on bc of the divorce paper etc. additionally he’s been worrying bc of MLs legs not healing if it’s bc he (MC) is trying to change the plot which backlashed in return. So bc of his slowly growing feeling, worries that ML would leave him later and pursue the original Shou according to the plot and his worry that he is the one causing ML to suffer (and maybe die) made him so „hat and cold“... also also, after that whole divorce stuff happened, he just closed himself off emotionally (especially regarding ML), which is totally understandable!

[collapse]

anyways, I’m pretty sure there is more to say, but in conclusion, in my opinion (and sorry I didn’t say earlier, ofc anyone can have their own) MC is definitely not s*upid. Just wanted to put my thoughts out there for those considering to read this and the first thing they see is this 1 star review... if I was a new reader, it’s really make me loose interest immediately or at least leave a lasting impression (tho it may just be me)

All in all I found this novel quite good, a light read. Wouldn’t give it 5 star, since.. idk it’s not unique, we still have that cruel CEO type ML who only pampers MC. But idk... guess MC is calmer and accepted his feelings sooner than others would, first doubting themselves etc. Though it’s a petty they couldn’t properly communicate, so that some small misunderstandings came to be.

Spoiler

Like the divorce letter that ML found and asked but until now hasn’t gotten an answer to. Or the „I Love You“ card MC left that the dog accidentally ate so ML never found but MC never asked about and ML never told him about. Also I don’t like lying much in a relationship and idk I don’t like how ML pretended to still be sick/still hasn’t healed his legs and need rehabilitation so as to get MC softhearted and help him... idk it would have been so much more wholesome (AND SHORTER) if they would have talked about some small things sooner.

[collapse]

In the end, yes there were and probably will still be some plot holes, but I think it’s definitely a novel you can give a try to! The translator is doing a good job and giving explanations with photos, and the mtl is readable! So yeah~ <<less

It's quite frustrating to read, very inconsistent and kind of a mass.

MC used to be an opera singer, his new body is a singer, and while he does have to train it a bit to get up to his former standard, he mysteriously decides to become an actor.
Something he has no experience in but somehow does better than people who know how to act.

He's set up as clever and mature, then turns around and does the dumbest thing you could possibly do, causing chaos and misunderstandings wherever he goes.
It just so happens that he's never the one who suffers because of it, thanks to plot armour it always turns out to be good for him – it just never makes any sense.

MC is the typical self-insert Gary Stu with tons of talents and skills who never does anything wrong, who's always right, and at the right place at the right time to get benefits.

That would be fine, the problem here is that the main-character coating is so thick that the story is immensely bland and artificial, as well as his character a walking contradiction.
Of course he has the "tragic backstory" mandatory for writers who don't know how many stereotypical MC-traits are too many.
He's simply too perfect and the world too convenient for any kind of enjoyment to be found, you know exactly how everything will turn out after reading the first 10 or so chapters.
It's more or less one single formula reused countless times in the same novel.

Other characters aren't better, they are shallow and most of them nothing but plot devices.

Plot points are mentioned once then never again, they silently vanish into obscurity and leave you wondering why they were there in the first place.

There's a reason why the writer tends to include long comments every few chapters, because readers just can't buy nor understand what she's trying to do with the story and characters.
After 30 chapters, I'm pretty sure she herself didn't even know and made it up while writing, there's no rhythm to the plot or at least clear outline visible anywhere.

Two stars because there's nothing seriously wrong with it, it's just a case of an inexperienced writer not being good at writing (just yet).

I thought the MC was supposed to be smart, or at least that's what it was shown in the beginning, BUT just a few chapters later and I can't help but cursed "THIS bit*h IS s*upid AS f*ck!"

Without the ML, MC is nothing and cannot do anything. He was supposed to be smart and can read people face and able to tell if people have bad intention or not but that totally disappear after 20 or so chapters and he just become this dumb MC who only cares about advancing... more>> his own career. He doesn't bother to care to understand the ML a little bit even though the ML was doing so much for him.

The MC does not deserved the ML at all but what pissed me off the most was how inconsistent the MC character is. He's cold one minute and hot another minute. He's such an OLD dude who lived twice so how could he be so dumb? <<less

We have a MC who can do everything, singing, acting, cooking, horse riding, fighting, you name it.

We have ML who is like OP just by sitting in his wheel chair.

Both have terrible family and child hood situations. So loner attracts loner scenario.

... more>> The plot just get thrown out the window, the original Shou never shows up beside in 2 segments where he doing dumb things. Every villain get one shot when they try to mess with MC with his plot armor.

I don't know how they fall in love when they don't see each for days and months. It was kinda ridiculous to me when ML keep letting MC go, treat him like crap and MC just go do his acting jobs for weeks and months and they are like super close without doing anything out of no where. Also ML personality shift was too abrupt for me. It;s like a switch he went from one word acting cool to a pampering sweet husband. The romance is just too inconsistent this novel, I feel cheated. I wanted to see how they relationship develop by spending more time together in the early stage. MC was cooking and singing for him, then it just stop after his dumb acting career came in.

I also don't understand why MC just not focus on his singing career I mean with his former background.. I don't get why acting is even needed here. MC singing is enough to me

Also we don't get answers from some plot holes, like some random guy also gets reborn and then gets destroyed by ML in 2 seconds. The sister who ML always remembers, no POV from him to see why she left such a deep impression on ML. Also why did MC's female friend end up with that 2nd rich generation who was so awful in the beginning., she rejected him countless times.

You can read the novel and admire the MC for his multiple abilities and his clever ways to deal with people and still maintains his image. There's also the cute dog for any animal lovers. <<less

It was a simple and straightforward romance and career story. I enjoyed how the story focused strongly on MC's career without the romance taking over completely once the MC and ML got together. Usually in these types of stories, the romance would take over completely after mutual confession (which is still fun to read) but the career line (and therefore the more interesting part) gets super weak and almost nonexistent. Thankfully that didn't happen here.

MC is almost OP and faces almost zero issues. The antagonists have a weak presence. One... more>> major plot hole imo is how MC transmigrated from an older time period without the OG body's memories and still managed to be okay from day one in modern times. Granted MC had memories of the book (which is also???how did he understand the book references) but I was a bit surprised it wasn't a bigger issue. Ofc conveniently MC was estranged from his father, has no other family, and no friends.

Overall I'd recommend to those interested in light romance. <<less

I'm actually really enjoying this novel. I feel like the MC and the ML will mesh well in the future when their romance begins. So far, we've seen hints of them understanding one another, which is so nice.

I'm also really glad it's focusing on the MC's career in showbiz, I'm excited to read more.
