Dressed As a Cannon Fodder For the Rich and Powerful

Qi Xiaoyu was a pillar of the Red Moon Troupe during the Republic of China period. He had a unique appearance, figure, and singing style. His ability to adapt to all kinds of people and situations is even more remarkable. Meanwhile, Qi Xiaoyu, the starlet in the novel “Sick President Sadistically Loves Me”, is the complete opposite. As a small cannon fodder who had a “warding-off” wedding with the soon-to-be-dying President Xun in order to “wash away” his bad luck and “cure his illness,” this person is s*upid, conceited, arrogant, and proud of his beauty. He gave the president a green hat, coveted the president’s family property, framed the protagonist shou, and was finally sent to an asylum by the sick president, where he was locked up until he turned into an actual lunatic. When Qi Xiaoyu transmigrated, it was the same night that he was sent to the sick president for the warding-off ceremony…… Qi Xiaoyu judged the situation and was very clear about what he wanted: Before the protagonist shou appeared, he would obediently clamp his tail tightly between his legs, coax the president into submission, and strive to develop his acting career. After the protagonist shou appeared, he would work hard to match the two of them, retire after success, and divorce the president! Qi Xiaoyu blinked his big, innocent eyes and smiled, saying, “What the Third Master said is right. Come on, I’ll massage your legs.” His face is harmless, innocent, and pure. At the beginning, Third Master Xun casually glanced at Qi Xiaoyu and said, “I have a cleanliness habit. Don’t just push a random person toward me.” Not long after, Third Master Xun lazily looked at Qi Xiaoyu at his side and said, “This little thing is quite attentive.” Later, Third Master Xun, whose attitude has completely made a 180-degree turn, couldn’t leave his wife for a day and just wanted to spoil him to heaven.

## My Thoughts on Dressed As a Cannon Fodder For the Rich and Powerful This novel, "Dressed As a Cannon Fodder For the Rich and Powerful," definitely took me on a rollercoaster. It's a story with a lot of potential, and while it has its charms, it also stumbles in a few key areas. ### First Impressions Initially, I was hooked by the premise. The idea of a protagonist transmigrating from the Republic of China era into a modern-day entertainment world is intriguing. The early chapters drew me in with their romantic pace and hints of mystery. I appreciated the focus on the protagonist's career, especially with his background as an opera singer. This aspect felt fresh and offered a lot of possibilities. ### What Works Well The protagonist's initial maturity and calm demeanor were appealing. I also enjoyed the moments where the male lead showed genuine understanding and warmth, moving beyond the typical cold CEO archetype. The dynamic between them, at its best, felt like a sweet and slightly sour lemonade – refreshing and engaging. I thought the author did a good job in showing the MC and ML understanding one another. There are also some fun side characters like the dog and the enemy turned friend. ### Areas of Concern However, as the story progressed, I found myself getting increasingly frustrated. The plot felt inconsistent, with several storylines introduced and then abruptly abandoned. The protagonist, initially presented as clever, sometimes made baffling decisions that seemed out of character. The male lead's personality shift also felt jarring and abrupt, going from cold to overly affectionate. ### ⚠️ Spoiler Warning Several plot points felt unresolved. The divorce arc, for instance, was handled poorly. The misunderstanding that led to it was never fully addressed, and the subsequent reconciliation felt rushed and unearned. I also found the ending to be somewhat abrupt, with several character arcs left incomplete. The reborn villain's storyline, the protagonist's family, and the details of the male lead's past are all touched upon but never fully explored. ### Final Verdict "Dressed As a Cannon Fodder For the Rich and Powerful" is a mixed bag. While it has moments of sweetness and intrigue, the inconsistent plot, character inconsistencies, and unresolved storylines ultimately left me feeling unfulfilled. It's a light read that might appeal to those looking for a simple romance, but be prepared to turn off your brain and overlook some significant flaws. I'd give it a tentative 3 out of 5 stars.
