2 Transmigrated to be a Cannon Fodder

"The CEO and the pauper?" Soohyun questioned confused.

'The CEO and the pauper' was a newly released online novel that went popular among her colleagues soon after the first chapter was published.

The novel started with a female lead, Oh Chaeyoung, who worked at several part-time jobs to keep herself and her younger brother fed and sheltered. Most of her neighbours scorned at her for her mother's status as a mistress when she was alive.

Luck was by her side when she got scholarship to top medical university of South Korea in order to study cardiology. Her first meeting with the main lead, Ahn Eunwoo, was when he was distributing the scholarship certificate to her.

As cliché as it sounds, Oh Chaeyoung mistakenly tripped on smooth surface, and before she could fall off the stage, Eunwoo caught her by her back. After that, the author went on paragraphs describing on how both of them scanned each other's features and time stopped between both of them.

For Eunwoo was a renowned cardiologist at the age of 28, he was invited at Chaeyoung's university to give lectures at many occasions, and therefore, these small encounters allowed love to bloom in between both of them.

Chaeyoung's determination and perseverance moved Eunwoo greatly, and he looked for ways to support her. Naturally, he had a gentle outlook, and thus, it was easy for her to blend in with him.

Although transmigrating into a novel was a popular genre among the females, Soohyun had a hard time believing that had happened to her. This was purely nonsensical!

The voice inside her head spoke out, "You've transmigrated inside the novel as the character, Moon Jiwoo."

Soohyun immediately wanted to faint. Out of all the characters in the novel, why was she this unfortunate to get transmigrated into Moon Jiwoo? Even if Moon Jiwoo was a character despised by others, Soohyun somewhat pitied her too.

From her age of six, the only one that existed in Jiwoo's world was 'Eunwoo Oppa¹', and that remained unchanged regardless of how old she grew. After the numerous attempts, Eunwoo was finally announced as her fiancée officially at age of fifteen.

Eunwoo viewed Jiwoo as his little sister, and he had no problems in accepting her as his fiancée until the female lead showed up.

Although Jiwoo tried to interfere between Chaeyoung and Eunwoo many times, she finally gave up after Eunwoo reprimanded her, and she let them be together.

Since Chaeyoung and Eunwoo did not announce their relationship to the public, Jiwoo still had the position of his fiancée in name. Even though the sight of Chaeyoung made Jiwoo feel disgusted, she beared with it for the sake of Eunwoo.

Everything went well until Chaeyoung's half-sister, Moon Jimin, returned from abroad. With her elegant appearance and beautiful features, her outlook was able to stun all genders of all age. Nonetheless, she was the main villainess in the story.

From a young age, she overshadowed Jiwoo in all aspects. She was the sensible, smart, and kind-hearted legitimate daughter, whilst Jiwoo was the spoiled, inconsiderate, and dumb illegitimate daughter.

Jiwoo's mother was the mistress who climbed up their father, Moon Seungmin's bed, by drugging him in spite of knowing that he's married.

Jiwoo's mother, Min Hyesook, drowned herself in luxury, bullied the servants at Moon Mansion, abused her power, frequented at various clubs, and spent nights with prostitutes. On the other hand, Jimin's mother, Kim Ahyoung, was a business woman who maintained her dignity well.

With the high status of Moon family, Jiwoo used her power to bully those students with lower status in school everytime they did something that unpleased her or when she was in a bad mood.

She took pleasure in humiliating her classmates in order to relief the suffocation she felt within herself. As a result, Jiwoo ended up making lots of enemies that wished for her death.

When Moon Jimin came back to South Korea, she attempted to persuade Jiwoo to destroying Chaeyoung. In fact, she was using Jiwoo as a pawn to remove Chaeyoung from the way and get Eunwoo for herself.

Not too bright and due to her prideful personality, Jiwoo was eventually persuaded by Jimin, and following the instigation, Jiwoo could've ruined Chaeyoung if it wasn't for her female lead halo.

When Eunwoo finally found out about the ways Jiwoo tried to humiliate Chaeyoung, she showed his immediate disgust towards her and took measures to destroy Jiwoo in the most miserable way.

However, before Eunwoo could ruin Jiwoo completely, she cut her wrist in order to take her own life, and she succeeded in it. For her, if Eunwoo hated her, there was no meaning to life for her.

When everyone pointed their fingers out at Jiwoo, made fun of her, alienated her, and gossiped about her, only Eunwoo was by her side, and therefore, Jiwoo took him as a special existence. And now that, Eunwoo did not want her, what should she do with this life?

"Can't be some other character?" Soohyun asked. She didn't want her life to end as such a miserable cannon fodder!

Judging by the state of the bed, Soohyun guessed that it was the scene where she spent the night with main villain, and the entire thing was planned by Ahn Eunwoo.

At this point of the story, Jiwoo thinks that the main villain, Han Minhyun, has feelings for Chaeyoung and wants to bed her. Therefore, she planned to drug Chaeyoung and gift her to Minhyun.

However, Eunwoo knew about her plans beforehand, and in the end, it was Jiwoo who was drugged by Eunwoo. After the night of humiliation for Jiwoo, she was forced by the masked villain to marry him.

Jiwoo, who saved her virginity for Eunwoo and wanted to marry him, was devastated after the events and found herself going deeper into depression.
