Doomed to be a Cannon Fodder

02

"Yang! Yang Ran!"

Yang Ran.

That was my name in this world.

"Yang Ran! You perverted lout! To think that you would come back and ravage a pillow."

I peeked open with one eyes.

And tried to resolutely fall asleep.

Yang Ran.

The younger cousin of Zhao Prince.

The younger useless perverted cousin of Zhao Prince whose only goal in life is to eat (women), sleep (with women) and be happy (with women).

Mother ah!

Sobs.

Your son's body in this world...

Has been tainted!

Sobsobs.

I could only hug a pillow to remove the effects of the aphrodisiac.

What humiliation.

But this is still better than waking up to be found trifling with Prime Minister He's illegitimate daughter.

And being forced to marry her.

Shudder.

Such a vengeful daughter who would eventually be my wife.

I'm too frightened!

This life, Yang Ran, I'll live for you.

Celibate and wholesome!

That is my new motto!

***

"Younger Cousin."

I trembled slightly.

"Where were you last night?"

Zhao Prince looked at me with sharp eyes.

Can I say I was at home?

No.

Better to admit it.

This cousin of mine is too sharp and petty.

Better to cleanly admit than to find myself in his black-bellied scheme.

Immediately I dropped down to beg, clinging onto his leg.

"Cousin, I was framed! I found myself drugged in the same room as Miss He and I ran away in fear!"

Immediately, I knew my decision was right when Zhao Prince's sharp eyes rescinded a little

His sharp cold aura was piercing previously... But now the blade has blunted.

"That was a smart move."

He patted my head before I dared to stand up.

"Younger Cousin..."

"Older Cousin! Please help me!"

My cry immediately startled him.

He stopped a little and then beckoned me to continue.

"Older Cousin. Can you talk to Mother and send me away to the suburb house?"

Zhao Prince was visibly shocked.

I guess that would make sense. His younger useless cousin brother, who enjoyed the pleasures of life, want to rough it out in the countryside?

Sigh.

I muttered to myself.

The countryside mansion is still way larger than the previous apartments in my world before. What's so bad about it?

But I kept this to myself and whimpered a little.

"I made enemies with Boss Song."

Immediately Zhao Prince had a look of understanding.

Boss Song was the boss of the capital in the area we stayed in.

For (past) Yang Ran to offend people was typical.

A hooligan and cowardly in nature, Yang Ran was a detestable cannon fodder. And he tended to offend those around him.

If his aunt wasn't the current Empress, who knew how many times Yang Ran would have died already.

Zhao Prince scrunched his eyebrows, obviously feeling a little frustrated.

He finally assented.

"Fine."

And gave one last warning.

"But no more scandals."

Again, I nodded with full force, tears in my eyes.

Goodbye heroine.

Goodbye ML.

I'm off to live a happy life in the countryside.

No cannon fodder life for me!
