Yuan Jia only learned after his unexpected death that he was the male lead's cannon fodder older brother, who had blocked the male lead's path and was therefore killed off by the plot.

If you, dear readers, find "I'm the Male Lead's Older Brother [Quick Transmigration]" enjoyable, please don't forget to recommend it to your friends on QQ groups and Weibo!

Lin Xuan never expected to wake up in the game world he created—especially not as a doomed survivor of the fallen dynasty, marked for death in just a few years by the rebellion of the five Kings. Determined to rewrite his fate, Lin Xuan hatches a desperate escape plan.

His unlikely partner in this scheme? Zhao Yuehan, an unassuming official from the Ministry of Commerce. However, there’s a twist: Zhao Yuehan is not only disguised as a man but also alarmingly calm in the face of Lin Xuan’s constant cries of impending doom.

“Brother Zhao, the Empress Dowager will die soon. Let’s run away together!”

“Brother Zhao, the five Kings are about to rebel. Let’s run away together!”

“Brother Zhao, the Empress herself will die soon. Let’s—run away together!”

However, Zhao Yuehan seems far more interested in Lin Xuan’s surprisingly accurate knowledge of national affairs, forcing him to answer questions he’d rather dodge. Little does he know that Zhao Yuehan’s true identity is far more explosive than he could ever imagine.

When the legendary Empress Ji Handan—alive, powerful, and very much not dead—suddenly confronts Lin Xuan, she drops a bombshell:

“I’m the Empress you claimed would die soon, and you even suggested I run away with you! Care to explain that, Lin Xuan?”

Now caught between the looming rebellion, Zhao Yuehan’s sharp intellect, and the Empress’s undeniable authority, Lin Xuan must navigate a web of political intrigue, hidden identities, and his wildly unpredictable destiny.

Due to family changes, he developed bad habits.

After returning home, my life underwent a huge change.

After going through hardships, he finally saved enough money for a down payment on a house at the age of 36. However, he was extremely disappointed because of his girlfriend's ridicule.

Thinking back on the past, I felt a surge of regret.

But fate gave him a second chance, and Chen Xi was unexpectedly reborn back to the age of eighteen.

Since you are already abroad, why not study abroad again?

Now that we are reborn, of course we have to give up our bad habits and make money properly.

As soon as I opened my eyes

Qin Heng was completely dumbfounded.

With powerful clans vying for power, the imperial court and the martial arts world are fraught with danger.

Qin Heng was utterly desperate.

The ladies in the harem suffered...

Xiao Jin transmigrated into a melodramatic angst-filled novel as a cannon fodder side character.

A strange woman who was disabled, disguised herself as a man, and obsessed with the male lead.

None of that mattered though, because she wouldn’t survive more than three chapters.

The cannon fodder was the third prince of the current dynasty—an accomplished war hero with a fearsome reputation that spanned the empire. Enemy armies trembled at the sound of his name. He was known as the “Ghost Rakshasa.”

Yet this god of war was gravely injured and crippled, coughing up blood after taking just a few steps.

He also developed tuberculosis and hovered on the edge of death.

There was only one reason for this: it was an angst novel. The male lead was the Crown Prince, and the female lead was a fallen princess from a ruined nation.

The cannon fodder’s only role was to destroy the heroine’s country, then die beautifully.

At this moment, Xiao Jin stared at her ruined legs and the pool of blood she had just coughed up. Her mental state completely collapsed.

She kindly told the butler to prepare a coffin—she’d lie down soon.

Then the mechanical voice of a system rang out.

“Warning! Host’s life has only 48 hours remaining. Please complete the first task as soon as possible to extend your lifespan.”

“Task 1: Interrupt the wedding — forcibly marry the heroine who is about to wed the second male lead.”

“Friendly reminder: Only after completing all tasks and getting killed by the heroine, Chu Shao, will your life countdown stop and you can return to your original world.”

Xiao Jin was silent.

In her mind, she pictured a terminally ill cancer patient in a wheelchair dramatically crashing the heroine’s wedding.

“…”

Xiao Jin: “Can I choose death instead?”

System: “Nope, Host.”

⸻

After many twists and turns, Xiao Jin finally completed all the tasks.

That day, the sky was vast and clear, autumn geese flew south.

Chu Shao stepped over the corpses of cannon fodder and returned to her homeland, ascending the throne in glory.

The whole empire bowed before her.

Xiao Jin, in prison robes, sat in a wheelchair, escorted by imperial guards, looking up at the new empress.

She was content.

Everything was ready—now she just needed Chu Shao to kill her.

Empress Chu Shao, with unparalleled beauty, stood with twelve ceremonial tassels hanging from her crown. Sword in hand, she descended the steps and gazed gently at Xiao Jin.

Just when Xiao Jin thought she was about to be stabbed through the heart, Chu Shao raised her sword and slit the throat of the imperial guard beside her.

The rest of the guards turned pale and fell to their knees.

Chu Shao, hands dripping with blood, crouched in front of Xiao Jin. As though gazing up at a deity, she stared at her for a long time.

She placed the bloodied sword aside and said in a trembling voice:

“Don’t leave me.”

[IMPORTANT WARNINGS!!]

1. While the tone of the story is marked as lighthearted, some parts are definitely not.

2. Chapters 138–140 and 77–80 involve side couples and previous-generation characters. They’re melodramatic, not pure (non-virgin), and written to tie together the story’s logic—please read the author’s notes for context before purchasing.

⸻

How to Enjoy This Story:

1. This is a cathartic fantasy story set in an alternate world—historical accuracy is not the goal.

2. The female lead, Chu Shao, is a yandere and mentally unstable. The system doesn’t do much—Xiao Jin mostly survives by being awesome.

3. The ending has a twist, but it’s a happy one. Timeline explanations are in the author’s note for Chapter 175.
