The Cannon Fodder of the Rich Family Has Gone Crazy

Description

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

Lu Ran is the neglected biological son of a wealthy family.

When he was four years old, he got lost. Upon returning home, his family favored the adopted son, Shen Xingran, ignoring the difficulties Shen Xingran imposed on him. In fact, to spare Shen Xingran from feeling upset or embarrassed, they kept Lu Ran’s true identity a secret.

At first, Lu Ran couldn’t accept this treatment and fought desperately against the adopted son. Eventually, however, he was pushed into the pool during winter by Shen Xingran, damaging his joints at a young age.

The members of the Shen family watched this unfold but remained indifferent.

Lu Ran’s heart turned to ashes; he no longer sought his family’s affection and resolutely left the wealthy household.

Yet, the Shen family and Shen Xingran continued to harass him. They pressured him in various ways, forcing him to be as grateful as a dog for the scraps of mercy from the wealthy family, leaving him with no place to hide.

While escaping from his family, Lu Ran got into a car accident and became completely paralyzed, confined to a hospital room for a full ten years.

In a moment of rebirth, he learned that he was merely a cannon fodder character in a wealthy family pampering novel, with the true protagonist being the adopted son, Shen Xingran.

Lu Ran suddenly came to a realization.

What was he hiding for? He was living a miserable life, so why should he let the Shen family have it easy?

Thus, he began to go wild…

His biased parents launched a tirade against him at the dinner table. Lu Ran kicked over all the dishes and smashed a dog’s feces onto the table, shouting, “If you’re not going to eat, then nobody eats!”

Rich kids tried to make things difficult for him. Lu Ran brandished a toilet brush and thrust it toward someone’s mouth, saying, “If you don’t want to be human, then I’ll give you a different kind of food.”

The Shen family wanted to kick him out of the house. Lu Ran simply grabbed a sleeping bag and lay down at the entrance of the Shen residence.

Come on, let’s see who can outlast whom.

In an instant, Lu Ran became the most feared person in the wealthy circles of the capital.

Some were puzzled, wondering how a seemingly helpless Lu Ran dared to act this way.

At a banquet, they spotted the neglected young master nestled in the wheelchair of the Ji family head.

The rumored gloomy and aloof Ji Min carefully held the sleeping boy in his arms, gently covering him with a thin blanket to keep him warm.

When an unobservant person approached to greet them, the man immediately made a shushing gesture, his gaze cold and serious.

People could only sigh, believing he must be deeply in love with Lu Ran.

Little did they know, this cold and domineering figure, who had long held power and was used to getting his way, was secretly thinking:

It took so much effort to get him to sleep.

If he wakes up, who can stand it…?

One-sentence summary: They are all scared.

Theme: Only by having self-respect and self-love can one earn the respect of others.

Seems a little unrealistic that the MC can get away with all this, but what bothers me is the author's attitude towards disabled people. My understanding is that for people who use wheelchairs, the wheelchair counts as their own body. If you wouldn't bodily pick up a person and move them, you shouldn't be moving someone in a wheelchair without permission. Not wanting someone to shove you around without asking does not constitute a "ridiculous boundary".

It was a great read 9/10. The end felt a little incomplete in regards to his 'family' but otherwise it was worth it. I especially liked the fact the MC had a professional other than actor, businessman or assistant lol

The MC is so unhinged sometimes I love it, it's very refreshing! Loved how paced and realistic the relationship between the ML and MC is.

4.5 stars

I recommend this one for those who can handle a somewhat childish MC who loves to punish his enemies by doing gross things (yes, its what you think and what is mentioned in the synopsis).

I really felt invested in the characters, and some of them had wonderful character development. I found myself rooting for some of them, disappointed in others, angry on behalf of the MC. Some themes included with this novel are regret, family relationships, greed, fear, perseverance, and many more. MC is not pushover, and his methods... more>> are gross, yet interesting, as I've never read a book that went in this eww direction. The ML is older, about 8 years or so, and is disabled, but he has such a good rapport with the MC and is a really doting, accepting MC and all his flaws, eventually really becoming his accomplice... haha. Would have liked to get an update on the brothers Shen at the end, but that's all she wrote! <<less

Rating 4.4, rounded up to 5

I thought that MC is kinda silly and childish in his revenge despite his current age when he died. But most of them is just acting, letting their guard down.

I like the overall story and the ending quite satisfying. Except some of the execution in the plot are repetitive and lacking. Most of the hilarious scenarios are really funny, except some of the repetitive sit.

This is going to be one of the MOST DIFFERENT TYPE OF REVENGE EVER!!!

BE WARNED NOT TO EAT OR DRINK during reading this novel!!!

I LOVE Our MC SOOOOOOOOOO MUCH with his type of Revenge and all the Faceslapping. It was Satisfying but also... Ewwww many times. But still Satisfying. Lol

... more>> I Love how in the end he create such Powerful image where most of people in his generation scared of him. But only Idiotic people would still try to make trouble...

The Shen Family is Full of Psycho or Hypocrite people. At the start of the story, they made my head boiled in anger, but in the end MC truly know how to handle them. Over and over again... It was Satisfying! Chef kiss. jpg

The ML though... I love how the author truly make his characteristic so lively. All his reactions is so expressive. And his wants related to MC's sake, he tried to hide or being subtle, but it doesn't escape his Butler's sight.

He truly truly dotes MC even after witnessing all MC'S madness of revenge. And keep doting him even when MC clearly misunderstood his feelings.

It may have revenge as the major, but the Comedy was TRuly top notch. You Must Read this kind of Novel at least once in your life!

Anyway I pray soooo hard the rest of the story have satisfying conclusion and clear Happily Ever the!!! 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Finished at 30 December 2024:

I'm truly gonna miss this crazy cutie MC. No MC has ever been like this MC so far. The crazy revenge beyond believe but that's made him such a Special existence. No one can copy nor replace him. He's both special as a Protagonist and a Person.

Anyway for the plot is Absolutely Satisfying!

The Main Text ending ended with Perfectly Satisfying end for everyone involved. No Unnecessary actions and drama. It's straightforward with everything MC feel and involved.

Sure I would love to stab a certain character so badly, but that person better be gone for good is what better the most.

Anyway it's still left me content and happy that our CP get their truly Happily Ever After together forever.

For the What If, I won't call it perfect, but I'm absolutely grateful the author could make it still so satisfying knowing what would happen if MC and ML meet earlier and the Grandpa alive. Truly Heartwarming ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

All in all this Novel truly have special unique place in my Heart and I Love it for Eternity and Beyond in any Universes!!! <<less

This story is very beautiful if we want to put logic aside and just enjoy it as a story, but if we want to think about it, it is illogical in many places, for example, every time the main character uses those methods to take revenge on his family or others. No one ever really fights with him, he makes those dignified jokes with the rich second generation, but their parents or even themselves do nothing, and when he makes those jokes with his own family, there is no punishment,... more>> while a father who can It is impossible for him to hire someone to hit his son with a car. He does nothing in the whole story after those jokes. If it was a normal novel, after those jokes, maybe the Shen family or the Lino family would use their power against him, but just to make the story long, everyone just tolerates and keeps silent. <<less

A funny story with a slow burn romance and bittersweet ending...

1. Mc's revenge

I personally think the MC's petty retaliation while seeming childish is horrifyingly satisfying in a way (and as someone who's terrified of dogs and insects, MC's retaliation tactic is a stuff of nightmare) and realistic.

This is because MC is not someone with the capability to stand against the Shen family directly (since he's not a business genius he can't do things like build his own company and destroy the Shen family that way) so as someone who is... more>> aware he can't just leave the Shen family since it could lead to terrible consequences for himself like in his past life and also does not wish to stay a doormat in this life, he chose the most humiliating and petty way to retaliate against those who offended him. I like that he never stoop to become just as bad as his tormentors in his first life, and even his final revenge against the rest of the Shen family was stg that wouldn't have been possible if they had not been doing bad things/have bad personality in the first place.

However I wish the ending of his brothers at least was fleshed out more. I know some things are simply unforgivable but they too are victims of circumstances and if their parents weren't so tr*shy they wouldn't have ended up like that.

2. Slow burn romance

Although it was cringe to see how MC acted as first, I don't think he was wrong considering his guess (gut instinct?) was spot on, I mean, if the ML was really trying to act like an elder for MC, there was no need for him to keep MC so close as to make him hos assistant at first. And if he really didn't have any romantic inclinations for MC at all, he would have clarified their relationship properly to the public from the beginning and followed up properly using his actions, so... yeah, not very convincing act there ML XD

I also adored how respectful and cherishing ML was of MC, all his gestures and considerations are honestly very sweet (if I was MC I would have fallen in love too), like
Spoiler

how he secretly celebrated MC's birthday while disguising it as Da Huang's birthday and how he prepared for the worst scenario im case he didn't survive the surgery on his legs

[collapse]
...

3. Comedy

4/5 for the comedy element of the story, always ended up laughing until my stomach hurt due to MC's antics, but I still gave a 4 coz the joke isn't very creative as they usually resolve around MC's petty revenge via animal excretions/insects or MC's shameless interactions with ML (one of which was his antics to spread rumors of ML's capability in 'that' department XD) so while they were indeed funny I guess some ppl could find it tedious over time.

4. Extras

The extras however are quite 2D in the term that they're only there as plot device and was not given proper background and enough screen time, even the likable ones, which made me less invested in the story in a way.

Anyway, it's a pretty good story, can't wait for the extras to be translated^^ <<less

This story was a hidden gem that popped up for me, and I binged it in one go! The MC knows what they want and doesn’t take insults, making sure to return every single one, which had me laughing out loud so many times while reading. The relationship between the MC and ML develops really well without feeling forced or overly sweet, and their interactions are super fun to read. Highly recommend it for anyone who loves a good slap in the face and plenty of laughs!

The MC is like a loose canon and the way he deals with ppl is absolutely hilarious. You'd never think of getting back at ppl in such ways. The MC's family is very messed up and his father is just tr*sh. You really do feel sorry for all the things the MC went through in his last life. The ML is a saviour to the MC in this new life. I like the MC's straight forward character and when he finally realizes that he likes the ML he doesn't hesitate... more>> at all. I also really enjoyed the extras too. <<less

I did not know I have a soft spot for comedic characters with sob or emotionally-stirring back stories. Thank goodness there are "What If" extras, or I would have been clutching my chest for a whole day due to heartaches.

Well written plot, and a special round of applause for the brilliantly added details. In the future, I feel like I can't see ice cream the normal way again.

It was such a fun ride! Hilarious and tear jerking at times!! MC and ML dynamic is amazing very natural and slow burn, but I can guaranty that you won’t be bored.

Overall it’s worth your time and you will enjoy it! But if you’re looking for reconciliation with his family please don’t expect it!

I do feel bad for the Shen family brothers at times but then I also feel like they deserved it! It’s a mixed feeling!

MC will find love and leave a good life in this life and the... more>> journey is fun and heart wretch inc at times! <<less

The power of choice was always in Lu Ran’s hands.”—c104

THIS.

THIS RIGHT HERE.

... more>> This was where the fifth star went to. MUAH—chef’s kisses Ji Min because what an outstanding mindset. You deserve all the praise.

Read this for kicks & giggles, but got one of the BEST How-to-Bully-Others guide. What the heck, Lu Ran. MC takes revenge to different heights. Business calculation & schemes WHO?? Stock manipulation WHERE??? All he needs is a working toilet bowl. The amount of times I busted out laughing in the middle of night needs to be noted; the schemes in this one were crazy.

But aside from the typical wealthy conspiracy drama that I initially came for, there was depth. I really appreciated that the motives to certain characters were fleshed out. It felt more than antagonists being antagonists just because they were written like that. Rather, the characters ended up the way they were due to their respective circumstances. Thought-provoking, adds layers to the story, & I LOVED THAT,

Romance was great; I’m biased because I like thigh-hugging plots & as I’ve mentioned earlier... Ji Min is a GREEN FLAG. No crazy cons for me. Others may hate the age gap, but at least he’s not 17. Just sayin..I’ve read the latter types before.

But YO- the angst? Especially that one specific flashback—I hate the author—gave me a whiplash I could not recover fast enough from. I curse my vivid imagination because I felt so aggrieved when I’m supposed to be eating dog food.

Definitely a story I’d reread it more than once. <<less

Honestly, this is a pretty impressive novel, now that I've finished it and thinking back over what I read.

For the most part it is a typical rebirth revenge face slapping novel, just with very unique revenge methods (I've certainly never seen an MC shove a toilet brush into his bully's mouth in any other novel). If you're easily grossed out by bugs or toilets maybe don't read it though, because that's like 85% of the revenge (the rest is letting people hang themselves with their own rope via their own... more>> evil plans)

The romance is well developed, slowly and naturally.

But the story also slowly sprinkles in hints of bigger reveals, and I think the ultimate payoff of those reveals together was a deeper, more psychologically insightful take on this kind of story than the usual lower effort stuff and left a deeper emotional impression than many other novels in this genre I've read

Some specific things that impressed me (contains spoilers)

Spoiler

The fate in the original timeline is not just standard dogblood terrible fate like I assumed initially, there's actual motive to treating Lu Ran like that.

Every single villain is given some sympathy without being redeemed

Lu Ran retaining his phantom pain into his next life was a very interesting thing I've never seen done before, it makes a lot of sense because being reborn doesn't erase your psychological/mental trauma.

The slow buildup of the reveal about the ice cream made it punch my heart super hard
