Transmigrated After Pitying the Cannon Fodder Prince

Xiao Tan was a refined, gentleman, warm like the bright moon and refreshing like a clear breeze. Unfortunately, he suffered from frail health and was perpetually sick. Bored during a long illness, he found a web novel detailing political schemes, cunning ploys, and overt and covert struggles in the imperial court. Initially reading to pass the time, he felt a lingering sense of melancholy upon finishing it, unable to stop pitying and aching for a cannon fodder character who was betrayed by his true love and died in bitter regret. “Yu Yi, Yu Guisi…” One night before sleeping, Xiao Tan tossed and turned, thinking that if he were in that person’s place, he would never betray his lover for mere power. Unbeknownst to him, when he opened his eyes again, he had actually transmigrated into the novel, cherished and spoiled as the heart’s treasure by the Second Prince. During their first meeting, Xiao Tan knelt to receive the imperial decree granting their marriage. The man sat in a wheelchair with a face full of defiance, yet unable to conceal his sickly pallor. Xiao Tan thought to himself that this might be Heaven giving him a second chance: A healthy body, and the power to change a regretful fate. In his past life, Yu Yi had loved someone for a long time. Unfortunately, before he could fully offer his heart, he met a tragic end betrayed and dying in prison. Living a second time, he resolved to sever all romantic feelings, calculating every step with determination to seize the throne and never be used by that person again. Yet, that person seemed to have taken the wrong medicine in this life: risking his life to save him in moments of danger, fighting for power and status on his behalf in court, and looking at him with eyes brimming with a tenderness deep enough to drown him. In a capital city clouded with intrigue, the two plotted carefully and walked forward hand in hand. One felt that many things had changed after rebirth, discovering that the other would no longer betray him like in the previous life, yet constantly worrying whether he was still loved. The other harbored countless anxieties, wearing the face of someone who had once hurt the prince, lacking the courage to confess his love. They treaded carefully, stumbling through cautious probes and trials for a long time. Only in the end did they discover that the so-called betrayal was fake, the novel was fake, and even the transmigration into the book was fake. All of this was merely a lingering obsession that two people, who had failed to express their true feelings to each other until death could never let go of. “He too was once a carefree martial artist of the pugilistic world, living freely with sword in hand; yet no matter how swift or ruthless his blade was, it could never match the cruelty of the human heart.” “Fortunately, they could start over again.” — Description from novelcodex.orgFull novel: Transmigrated After Pitying the Cannon Fodder Prince — read the rest free on N​o⁠v​e⁠l​C⁠o​d⁠e​x⁠.​o⁠r​g⁠
