You Were Made to Be Cannon Fodder, but Ended Up a Winner in Life?

Chapter 1: Humble Love 1:

“Why did you buy 30 yuan worth of fruit for your family? What’s the point of that? My family’s house in the countryside urgently needs money. Give me another hundred thousand yuan.”

The sudden harsh and sharp voice of a woman startled Chen Nuo, making him frown slightly.

He raised his head and looked at the woman speaking to him.

The woman had a somewhat delicate appearance, but at this moment, her eyes were filled with disdain, and her words were so unreasonable that they made her seem harsh and unkind.

However, since Chen Nuo didn’t fully understand what was going on in this world, he chose to stay silent.

“I’m heading to work now. Clean the house, and by the time I get back, I want to see a hundred thousand yuan. If not, we’re breaking up. No marriage!”

Seeing Chen Nuo’s silent and stunned expression, the woman’s disdain deepened even further. She then turned and left with the swagger of a victorious rooster.

As she walked away, Chen Nuo let out a sigh of relief and instinctively glanced around.

It was a modern four-bedroom, two-living-room apartment, immaculately clean, equipped with a television, washing machine, and other appliances.

Recognizing the familiar urban setting, Chen Nuo’s eyebrows relaxed slightly.

“It seems like this time it’s an urban setting. It should be easier.” He thought to himself.

To put it simply, it was almost unbelievable.

While he was at home asleep, he had suddenly been chosen by a cannon fodder system to enter different worlds and fulfill the wishes of those who had been treated as expendable, tragic figures.

So far, he had already traveled to several worlds, including post-apocalyptic ones and ancient settings.

Comparatively, Chen Nuo preferred urban worlds.

For one thing, they were less dangerous. For another, he could live more comfortably.

[The plotline for this world has been issued. Host, please check promptly.]

The system’s voice suddenly echoed in his mind, and before Chen Nuo could react, a flood of plot details appeared in his head.

The original owner of this body, also named Chen Nuo, was at the center of this novel world.

The previous Chen Nuo came from a well-off family and was a native of the provincial capital. His parents were both university professors, well-respected intellectuals.

The woman he had just spoken to was his girlfriend, Zhang Ya, who came from a remote rural area.

The previous Chen Nuo was good-looking but, due to his introverted personality, had always lacked a sense of presence, even to the extent of having no friends.

During his university years, seeing his classmates all having girlfriends, he became envious and wanted a girlfriend too. However, his lack of presence since childhood left him with a sense of inferiority, despite his good family background.

In his sophomore year, Zhang Ya suddenly spoke to him.

While she wasn’t particularly beautiful, she had a delicate charm that quietly captured his interest.

The rest unfolded naturally, and they became a couple.

Due to his feelings of inferiority, the previous Chen Nuo treated Zhang Ya very well. When he ‘accidentally’ learned of her poor family situation, he covered her tuition, living expenses, and even sent money to her family to help ease their burdens.

After they graduated, her job was arranged by his family.

Later, as they prepared for marriage, his family, with more than ten properties, had already prepared a new home. But before the wedding, Zhang Ya suddenly demanded that if he loved her, the house should be registered solely in her name.

Eventually, the house was only under Zhang Ya’s name, despite his parents’ strong opposition. At the time, he didn’t care because he loved her and believed she loved him back.

Soon after, Zhang Ya’s parents and brother moved to the provincial capital and settled in the marital home. The previous Chen Nuo did all the household chores and treated her family with great care, even resigning from his job to do so, only to be mocked and ridiculed by them.

As Zhang Ya’s career progressed, and she became a company general manager with a million-yuan annual salary, she immediately abandoned him. By that time, his parents had passed away, and all their money and properties had been taken by Zhang Ya through various schemes.

After the divorce, he was left with nothing. When he tried to approach Zhang Ya and ask for reconciliation, he saw that she had already married another man.

“Look at yourself now. Do you think I would still be interested in you? If I hadn’t accidentally found out about your family’s wealth in college, I would never have dated you. Stop dreaming. You’re useless now. Get lost!”

Zhang Ya’s mocking words deeply hurt him, revealing that she had plotted everything. He had even broken ties with his parents for her, only to end up alone and disappointed.

One night, he curled up in a corner of the street and never woke up again.

…

After absorbing the complete plotline, Chen Nuo’s expression darkened. The previous owner’s love had been far too humble.

What right did Zhang Ya have to look down on him?

Everything she had was thanks to him, yet she treated him like that in the end?

He had heard of ‘phoenix men’ but had not expected there to be ‘phoenix women’ as well.

Fortunately, the current point in the plotline was right after his university graduation, before he had married Zhang Ya.

Even though the current house was their marital home, it was still under his name.

The tragedies that came later had not yet occurred.

“What is the original owner’s wish?”

Chen Nuo asked directly.

[1. The original owner hopes the host can make Zhang Ya pay the price, end up with nothing, and regret it for the rest of her life.

Take good care of his parents so that they never have to feel the same crushing disappointment and end tragically as they did before.
Live well. The original owner lived humbly for Zhang Ya, but this time he wants the host to live a good life on his behalf.]

The system’s voice rang out.

Chen Nuo nodded.

“Don’t worry, brother. I’ll settle this score for you. And I’ll make sure to get justice.”

Feeling the despair and anger left by the original owner, Chen Nuo’s eyes turned icy.

In his previous life, he had poured his heart and soul into loving Zhang Ya, only to end up with disappointed parents and a tragic death on the streets.

While part of the reason was his overly humble love, in the end, he just wanted to love someone sincerely.

But… it was the wrong person.
