I died as a hardcore gamer, only to open my eyes in a cultivation fantasy I once played. Not as the hero. Not even as a helpful mentor. or a big villian... But as the cannon fodder destined to die before the first act even concludes.
I recognize this world instantly—the sprawling mansions of nobility, the immortal sects hidden in misty mountains, the power hierarchy where cultivators stand above common folk. I've played through this story dozens of times, defeated every hidden boss, unlocked every secret ending. And now I'm trapped inside it, wearing the skin of the game's first villain.
My position? The worthless young master of a prestigious family, universally despised yet secretly possessing a dormant bloodline that nobody in-game ever discovered because this character dies too quickly.
But something is wrong. Characters are behaving differently than they did in the game. Events are unfolding in unexpected ways. The cold beauty who should immediately despise me seems strangely interested in my skills. The vixen villianess who orchestrated my demise now studies me with curiosity.
Is my presence changing the storyline? Or was there always more to this world than what players could see through their screens?
With each deviation from the script I memorized, my meta-knowledge becomes less reliable. Yet it remains my greatest weapon as I navigate political intrigue, forge unlikely alliances, and desperately work to awaken powers that were never meant to be unlocked by a character designed only to die.
I refuse to be expendable. I reject the role assigned to me. In a world where destiny is supposedly predetermined, I will rewrite the algorithm itself—or break the entire system trying.

Reborn As A Villainous Cannon Fodder

Lily looked at Yino with a face full of joy.

Bathing in the holy light, Yino couldn't help but be moved. He pursed his lips, making a decision to himself- he would not let down Lily's heartfelt intentions and would make good use of the Azure Forest's heart!

Lily suddenly remembered something. She quickly walked up and grabbed Yino's hand.

"Brother, before, Little Deer and Sister Yunjin, both helped me..."

"So, before I left, I conveniently took some treasures from the ancient temple... Although these things belong to the Azure Forest, I will no longer be there. These treasures would just be taken by the cultivators anyway. I might as well take them out to repay everyone!"

"Brother, do you think these things will be of any help to Wangxue and Sister Yunjin?"

Ch 238 - Senior Sister, please don't get mad at what I'm about to say, okay?
