Description

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 the Yan family 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

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. 🤷‍♀️

This novel is great for a light read.

although there are quite some plot holes and unanswered things, it still is not bad and could be used to spend some time for relaxing.

what would have been better is if the author took time to explain some things rather than just add some little drama for other characters.

Spoiler

like why on earth did the stepmother go in to MLs room to burn his mums photos. She crazy or what. Little things like these were unanswered only making the novel incomplete.

Leaving a review for myself because I kept re-reading this and forgetting why I stop. So here’s a reminder, dear future me.

This isn’t my cup of tea. The summary made it seem like it was because I would die for the tropes mentioned in it but —

1.) I eventually found it boring. The first few chapters were okay, and, dare I say, entertaining. But it quickly became stale. There were no satisfying face-slaps, no interesting character developments, no banter, nothing that kept me entertained while the plot is moving. It’s... more>> all mostly fluff and I didn’t care enough about the characters to find those fluffy moments interesting.

2.) Characters are cardboard cut-outs, in my opinion. Nothing about them feels alive. They’re all caricatures. They do have their quirks but sadly, nothing about them interests or surprises me.

I can’t think of any good points right now because I really am very disappointed in this. I turned my brain off but this is still something I can’t fully immerse in. <<less

Because of the bad review in 2021. The novel is not being translated. They havent even finish half, it's just barely started and they treated is as a plague of "s*upidity" from MC. Bruh. The general story was okay tho. It was funny and fun to read. And plus, he really do know the plot but he is also dense and never been in a relationship. Who would be so profecient in love when you grewhen you grew up in a health environment. You probably will be naive and shielded... more>> with the bad of the earth, too. The growth actually is pleasant to read too. Well communication wise cant blame the two. But of them are just not good at it. It equates tho. The ML treats him nicely and MC treats him nicely in a spoiled brat way because he assume in all his sense that he will get divorce through it. Obviously that didnt happen because MC and ogcannon fodder have different personality, style of living and actions. The ogCF is the one with bad perfume and acts more dumb through series of bad decisions. Well he was ostracized by his own family and grew up not learning life lessons anyways. But still it could have avoided if his real family was genuinely nice, but they are shitty. So no matter what the growth of the story was actually entertaining

Btw if I said things incorrectly, I was reading 3 novela at the same time and finished all of them at the same time. I might have mixed up some detailes. Btw, this is why it's not being translated anymore because some people only judged the story with few chapters and few bad scenes from the MC (mostly) <<less

BEWARE of SPOILER

MC transmigrated into another world and from a limited memory from the previous host, he found out that he was just a cannon fodder. Fortunately, the ending for said cannon fodder was not bad. From the memory, MC also found out that ML hated coquettish acts, the one thing he was good at. And so, to promote the hatred from ML, MC decided to do just that. Basically, MC wanted to follow the plot.

A lot of readers dislike MC. They said he was too old to act like... more>> a 'baby'. Do take note that even though their age wasn't mentioned, from bits and pieces of information, MC just finished high school and ML was a few years older than him. For ML, circumstances led him to be more mature than his actual age.

In his previous world, MC knew that elders liked it when he acted coquettish. It became a norm until his classmates pointed out that the behavior was off. And so, MC only limited the coquettish act to family members only. In this world, he did the act just to follow the plot. In fact, he made a list of what act he should do in front of ML.

In truth, MC didn't have to act at all. He was raised so pure and naive by his parents, that it has borne the protective feeling from the people closest to him. But, do not underestimate our MC. He had fangs too. But, the people around him would rather do the dirty deed than pollute his pure self. <<less

First of all I really like the translation, help me learn more English verb. Thank youuu 💕

It's good if you want light story, kinda dumb hahaha. Their problem not solved actually, until the end they are not talking about their fight, why and how make it better in their relationship. Bad communication because they busy with their mind in head, definition solve problem with kiss (or sex). I think they just love the idea of each other, make sense if you remember this is their first relationship but yah still... more>> bad for two grown up man to think like that :/

Spoiler

MC kinda dumb, it's because in his previous world he lives like that and get spoiled alot from his family. He's not feel safe about ML because he's always wanted and loved but had bad health. Buuutttt, he's not showing fear like people who transmigrated to another world with no one else he knows from his world. Like with that background more make sense if he's afraid, and until the end he's never talking about the book with ML. If I'm the ML even we are ok with each other after fight and my spouse acting strange, I will still thinking about it wonder what's wrong with me or my partner.

And ML, I think he had bad anger management because he will throw something when MC run away. From background story from ML (even not that much story) I think he had trauma. Two of them should go to therapy.

Let me get things straight here, when you're having a fever do not, I repeat DO NOT take a hot shower. Especially children. Wear minimal clothing unless its cold snowy weather. Let your body breathe, wipe with slightly warm water to open the pores but not too cold or too warm. The way the author wrote about the characters handling fever is making me having anxiety. Its actually good for our body to shower using cold water.

Well actually, how young is the MC? He doesn't even know about french... more>> kiss? He is not aware about people's thoughts around him? He is a GUY but dont even get the hint about cold shower and clueless about everything sexual. If this were any indication, he might as well be a minor (younger than 14?).

For 5 days beach trip both of them only get 10 minutes of handjob? 10 minutes.. Really? Only that when you already got certificate and realized you love your spouse? The author either a virg*n or too dense. Poor the original body though, he was missing from his real family, he does not received proper education and guidance and were expected to perform like an elite child when the Yan family brought him home. Then, when he does not behave according to their golden standard, he was married off just so ML can control him better than the mother. Like seriously? What kind of a mom does that. I would never even if they sent me off to borderland. <<less

its a pretty nice story.

But with a simple plot which is easily forgettable, I had already read it a while ago and completely forgot about it.

Anyway it's still a decent story, I would recommend you guys to go through it.

Thanku author for the hard work.

It's very interesting story. I really liked it. But it didn't explain many things at the end of story but the interaction between MC and ML is really heartwarming. If u are bored then this is really good to read. It's a simple story.. But it's not boring. I liked it a lot

Personal enjoyment: 4.25/5!

It's a simple and fluffy story that's entirely focused on the romance. There aren't any side plots or strong side characters, no angst or drama either - other than a little bit when Yan Yan attempts to divorce his husband.

Ignore a few plot holes, and this story is really a lot of fun!!!

It really is a story full of dog food even though they gather almost 2/3 of the way through the story 🥺

Really this story has too low ⭐️, like, if this is not your 'taste' then leave it. This is definitely one of those stories where the story synopsis really describes the whole story itself!!!

Our MC is silly, because in real life he was 'taught' to be a naive child. Our ML is quite yandere, but she... more>> is developing quite well. She accepted the 'feelings' in a reasonable way, and they got together in a reasonable way,

that's how it should be!!!

I liked how the author solved the conflict problem in a BoOM way, without dragging on, and had a pretty solid remaining chapter without ending it so abruptly... I even liked their short real-life extras 🥺

The story was light, full of dog food, fun, ignoring a few missing characters, but I liked how the story really focused on the MC and Ml...

just ignore some things, and enjoy this story 🥹

and thanks to the translator who introduced this story to us... 🫶 <<less
