Cannon Fodder is a Master of Manipulation

Bai Yulan was a young girl who had to flee her country after a series of misunderstandings and unfortunate events. The death of the young girl, who was filled with intense regrets until the end of her life, was extremely miserable. But everything changed when she opened her eyes at the age of 23 when she thought that everything was over. Because now she had the chance to reverse the disasters that would happen to her and defeat the friendly-looking enemies one after another. She would especially ask for an account of her past grudges with the manipulation techniques she had mastered. So she did something that no one would normally think of. She took a completely different path from her previous life. She was no longer that young girl, restrained by her emotions, she. On the contrary, emotions were only one's most obvious weakness in her eyes. That's why she arranged a fake marriage for herself. She wanted to hold a pawn to help her defeat her enemies. “Remember, we are not really husband and wife. This kiss means nothing. So stop looking at me like you want to kiss me again" “I'm pretty, right? Wait…you better get rid of that look in your eyes before things get dangerous.” “Don't come any closer. My heart is beating so fast right now and if this continues I might fall in love with you" “What is that expression on your face? 'She sighs wearily' Don't tell me you're really in love with me. It wasn't in our contract!”

Bai Yulan was still wearing her nightgown, driving a car large enough to fit 10 people comfortably to the nearest mall.

Frankly, she didn't really care as she was going to change her clothes soon anyway. After telling the driver to wait for her in the car in the parking lot of the shopping mall, she went up to the 4th floor, where the luxury stores were, and started to look at the windows of the stores out of the corner of her eye.

'All of these clothes are totally out of fashion, the fashion of these years is seriously stale.'

But her face looking around was completely expressionless no matter what outfit she saw.

After learning the art of emotion manipulation, a person first tries to master their own emotions, and after mastering them, their normal faces often become expressionless.

In other words, she can reflect her joy, pain and sorrow behind the face pattern she wants.

But in her normal life, Bai Yulan hides all her emotions behind this expressionless face. This has caused people to stay away from her in the past. Of course, for Bai Yulan, who had no joy of life at that time, it didn't matter much.

But now she will never let her chance to settle her past plans go to waste.

Seeing Bai Yulan wandering around like a beautiful ghost who had lost her way, people stared at her as they passed, whispering among themselves, and some trying to take a picture of her on their phone.

'Uff…people….so annoying'

Bai Yulan, who didn't care for people to talk about her, would turn her face to the opposite side and increase her speed so that his face would not be seen in any of the photos taken. In this way, no detail was evident in the photograph, except for a girl in a white nightgown.

Since her reputation was still at a salvage level in this life, she would not give her enemies any leverage to use as best she could.

Finally, as she passed by the Black Orchid jewelry store, which is the most expensive and very popular among the fashionable women, something suddenly caught her eye.

Bai Yulan's eyes lit up for a moment as she stared at a necklace and earring set made of various precious stones made of diamonds studded with purple diamonds.

'Purple Passion....it really is that set'

This necklace and earring set was worn by Bai Meixie on her wedding day. For weeks, all high society had talked about her and gossiped about how beautiful and extraordinary she looked. Of course, the news such as the couple of the year and the wedding of the year did not stop.

Looking at the platinum card Su Fang had given her in her hand, Bai Yulan decided to buy that set anyway, even though she didn't care about those two now.

She entered the Black Orchid store resolutely. There was no one inside except her, and she pointed calmly at the store employee who was looking strangely at her nightgown, pointing to the Purple passion set.

"I want to buy this set. Can you pack it for me please?"

Her calm and dignified expression, which contrasted with the nightgown she was wearing, instantly brought the employee to her senses, tossed the outfit off her mind, and turned her head to look at the set she was pointing at.

"Ohh, ma'am sorry but this set is already booked. In fact, the person who booked said that he will come here and buy this set himself."

Hearing this, Bai Yulan's facial expression remained the same, but in the next moment, her facial expressions suddenly softened and she looked at the female employee with an expression that included the irresistible charm of an attractive young girl.

"I see, but it's still unsold after all, right? It shouldn't be wrong for you to sell it to me if I give you more money than the person who booked it. Please…I hurried here today just to get this necklace. I seriously need to get this set for my mom and dad anniversary. Otherwise, it could even lead to divorce. Please do me just a little favor. If you want, I will personally explain the situation to the person who made the reservation. Please..!"

Towards the end, pearly tears began to pour from the girl's peach eyes. She looked so fragile and frail that if you touched her she would shatter into pieces as if she were a glass doll.

Seeing her in this state, the employee's eyes began to show signs of hesitation, even though it was obviously forbidden for her to do such a thing. This, of course, did not go unnoticed by Bai Yulan.

She wiped her tears gracefully, but this gesture made her look even more fragile.

"I seriously wouldn't want to put anyone in such a difficult situation if I had any other choice, but this set is very important to me. Please…'hiccup'…I can pay the money right now. Please…"

The heart of her employee, who was looking at the young girl whose eyes were filled with tears again, couldn't take it anymore, so she decided to sell the set to this young girl in front of her, even if she was brushed by the manager.

Of course, seeing from the woman's eyes that his performance had worked, the tears that flowed from Bai Yulan's eyes instantly stopped, and before the woman changed her mind, she held out the credit card in her hand.

"The purple passion set is the highlight of our store this season, so its price is worth 40 million yuan. Ma'am, are you sure you want to buy it anyway?"

Thinking about the 100 million yuan upper limit of the platinum card in her hand, Bai Yulan nodded her head without thinking twice. She wasn't the one who gave the money anyway.

After what seemed like hours, the store employee pulled the required balance from the card, packed the necklace set, and handed it to the young girl. While Bai Yulan was about to take the black store bag designed with luxurious gold lines, suddenly someone entered the store.

The atmosphere radiated by the intruder was so sharp that involuntarily, both Bai Yulan and the store employee paused for a moment and turned their heads towards the entrance of the store.

Seeing the intruder, Bai Yulan's face was completely still, except that her face was slightly red from crying just now, but two words appeared in her mind.

'Chu Shingyi'
