The Cannon Fodder Becomes a Smart and Stunning Young Lady

Xiang Wan transmigrated into a book and became a cannon fodder character who only appeared once! She was originally a top-tier heiress from a prestigious modern family. After her mother's early death, her father squandered her mother's money daily with his mistress, resulting in several illegitimate children. In order to secure her position as the young heiress of the Xiang family, she had to outwardly pretend to be an excellent and knowledgeable heiress, internally act as a filial granddaughter and daughter, and occasionally engage in power struggles with her half-siblings. Despite the hardships, she couldn't let go of her mother's possessions, not a single one! Unfortunately, just before she could reclaim her inheritance, she accidentally fell into the water during a gathering. When she woke up, she realized she had transmigrated into a book, and her identity was that of a noble young lady from the 1970s?! She was incredibly beautiful and came from a remarkable family, yet she wasn't the female lead? She was just a cannon fodder character? Xiang Wan couldn't accept it. But when she saw the 100 billion cash locked in the System, Xiang Wan regained her motivation! Indulging in a life of food, drink, pleasure, and luxury was what she should be living! Complete a task for a hundred thousand dollars? She had to do it! However many there were, she would complete them all! Various luxury goods for just a few hundred bucks? She would take them all! Later, as the market opened up, while everyone, including the main characters in the book, was doing business, Xiang Wan drove luxury cars, lived in mansions, embraced her handsome husband, counted her precious gemstones, and lived a joyfully happy life!

Mission Refresh

編輯: Henyee Translations

Over the past 2 days, she has been experiencing what she had never gone through in both her lifetimes—exciting and thrilling, but truly exhausting. Now, she can finally relax and enjoy a comfortable bath.

Sinking into the wooden tub, the warmth of the water embraces her slowly…

"It's getting chilly. Don't soak for too long, or you might catch a cold!" Huo Xiao's voice echoes from outside.

He felt that the room was too quiet, even the sound of splashing water was absent. He was worried that something might happen to her, so he quickly reminded her.

Startled, she sat up abruptly. She was actually on the verge of falling asleep!

She thoroughly rinsed herself and then dried her body promptly.

It was very cold in the countryside at night, and Huo Xiao's house was not very well-insulated. If she did not dry off quickly, she might catch a cold.

"I'm done!" She opened the door after tidying up.

Perhaps due to the steam from the hot water, she looks exceptionally beautiful today.

At least that's how it seems in his heart, leaving him momentarily stunned.

Regaining his composure, he quietly carries the water tub outside and then comes back in to clean up the water spills, repeating the same steps as last night.

Observing his earnest and diligent appearance, she couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Who would've thought our Comrade Huo Xiao is good at taking care of others!"

He blushed at her comment. "I've never taken care of anyone before."

With that, he quickly left the room.

She raised an eyebrow. He was quite adorable!

The next morning, Huo Xiao heard a scream.

"Ah!!"

"What's wrong? Wanwan, what's wrong? Can I go in?" He immediately knocked on the door.

"It's nothing, you don't have to come in."

"I'll be right outside, just call me if you need anything." He didn't barge in but stood guard at the door.

On the bed, Xiang Wan was pulling her hair in a frenzy, looking bewildered at the new mission.

[Main Mission: Accompany Huo Xiao to get the acceptance letter and return to Xiang Jiang together.]

She recognizes every word of this task, but she doesn't want to recognize any of it since being together with him!

That's right, she woke up in the morning with a notification that the mission had refreshed. She couldn't help but let out a cry.

Was this a joke?! She bid farewell to Huo Xiao yesterday, sharing their feelings and everything.

And now, what was this?! Was she directly going back on her word?

Does she have to slap herself in the face like this?!

Xiang Wan thought about staying in this remote and inconvenient place without baths or proper toilets for several more days, and she couldn't stand it anymore.

But this mission was worth 500,000.

What did 500,000 yuan mean? She could easily buy this little village and still have plenty of balance left!

She tidied herself up with a mixture of joy and distress.

In the morning, they still ate the delicious food cooked by Auntie Wu Lan.

"What's wrong?" asked Huo Xiao.

He sensed that her mood was somewhat complicated, just like when he was torn between going to Xiang Jiang or the capital. How could her emotions change so drastically overnight?

"I'm fine. Are you done eating? Let's go find Uncle Zheng!" She couldn't explain why she was in a dilemma, and she had already made a decision.

"Wait for me, I'll pack up and then get your luggage." Saying that he was about to go inside to fetch her luggage.

"No need, I'll have to come back anyway. I'll just take this." She held the small basket in her hand and turned to leave.

"Huh?" Before Huo Xiao could ask, he caught up with her pace.

When they arrived at the village chief's house, they saw Zheng Hui overseeing the packing and guarding of the prisoners.

"Miss Xiang, you're here! Shall we set off?" Zheng Hui was eager to report back as soon as possible.

He was worried that if there were any accomplices, this operation might not go smoothly. The sooner they leave, the better.

"Uncle Zheng, I'm here to tell you about this," she explained. "I've decided not to go back for the time being. Please help me pass this letter to my uncle."

"What… Alright!" He wanted to persuade her, but when he saw Huo Xiao behind her, he didn't say anything.

"These are some snacks I prepared. You can take them with you or distribute them to everyone. Consider it a small token of appreciation from me. I'll be sure to thank you in person after I go back." She handed the basket to Zheng Hui.

"If there's anyone to thank, it's your uncle. I'm just running an errand for him." Zheng Hui didn't dare to take credit for this matter. After all, he hadn't expected to bring back a criminal case along with him. Who knows, he might even have to thank her in the future.

Zheng Hui accepted the snacks and set off with the group.
