After being reborn as cannon fodder, all I want is a divorce

Chapter 1

After being reborn as cannon fodder, all I want is a divorce.

Question: What do I do if I wake up one day to find myself transmigrated into a book and married to a man?

Zhou Zhou: Thanks for the invitation. I'm a straight man who just transmigrated into the book and am currently getting a divorce.

Zhou Zhou, a writer, fell asleep while researching the popular novel "The Movie Emperor and His Substitute White Moonlight". When he woke up, he had transmigrated into the book and become one of the many suitors of the movie emperor, a nameless cannon fodder character in the entertainment industry with the same name as him.

The original owner was a pretty face actress. With a husband at home, she fell in love with the protagonist but couldn't have him. So she went to a gay bar for a one-night stand to relieve her frustration. Before she could even take off her clothes at the hotel, her husband caught her cheating on him in bed. During the heated argument, she collapsed onto the hotel bedside table.

When Zhou Zhou opened her eyes, she was met with an embarrassing scene of catching her husband cheating.

According to the plot, the original owner will be forced to divorce for 30 million, then be blacklisted by her management company, and eventually die on the street with no source of income after living off her savings.

Zhou Zhou said that 30 million is not an easy amount to earn, especially since he is a straight man.

Divorce? Yes! You're not human if you don't!

Until the other party tore up the divorce agreement in front of him.

Fu Hengzhi: I'll give you one more chance.

Zhou Zhou: ?

No, bro, why aren't you following the script?

Fu Hengzhi loathed Zhou Zhou, but since his elders in the family were willing, he had no choice but to become her partner.

Early stage

Fu Hengzhi: I don't care about your private life, but don't go too far.

Zhou Zhou: Okay, no problem.

Mid-term

Fu Hengzhi: The person calling you "husband" on your phone doesn't seem like a good person. I've deleted them for you.

Zhou Zhou: Are you being polite?

later

An actor: Hey, Editor Zhou, who's that guy who picks you up and drops you off at the set every day?

Zhou Zhou: Driver.

Fu Hengzhi: ...

Chapter One: The Thirty Million That Was Within Reach Fleeing

"This gentleman's wound is quite deep. Although it has been stitched and bandaged, the hospital recommends that he stay in the hospital for observation for two days."

"Okay, I understand, thank you."

In the single hospital room filled with the smell of disinfectant, Zhou Zhou stared blankly at the white ceiling. Only after the door slammed shut did she turn her gaze to the well-dressed, elite man in a suit standing by the bed.

"What else do you want to say? You can say it now." The man's tone was unfriendly as he threw the entire stack of medical reports that the doctor had handed him onto the table next to him with a 'thud'.

Zhou Zhou's body trembled, his gaze blankly returning to the ceiling, and he murmured, "It's like a dream, waking up..."

"Zhou Zhou!"

The man had tolerated him for too long, and finally snapped, "You'd better understand the situation!"

This shout forcibly pulled Zhou Zhou's wandering thoughts back, and his mind became more clear.

It's not the man's fault for being irritable; it's all Zhou Zhou's fault for being so indiscreet.

Of course, Zhou Zhou was referring to the original owner, the owner of this body, who shared the same name as him, Zhou Zhou.

This world is a book called "The Movie Emperor and His Stand-in White Moonlight". Zhou Zhou is one of the many suitors of the protagonist, the movie emperor, but she is just a pretty face and cannon fodder who can't even be called an actor.

Today, another round of confessions from cannon fodder Zhou Zhou to movie star Ye Qisheng unfolded as he relentlessly pursued her. After being publicly humiliated and rejected by the movie star, Zhou Zhou, heartbroken, chose to go to a gay bar to relax. As a result, she got drunk and went to a hotel for a one-night stand with a strange man. No sooner had she arrived than her husband caught her in bed with him.

Yes, honey, this is a world where same-sex marriage is legal.

Zhou Zhou was also bewildered. As a writer, he was studying the popular novel "The Movie Emperor and His Substitute White Moonlight" when he was annoyed by the intricate plot of chasing and escaping. He had just taken a short nap on the table when he woke up to this scene.

At that moment, Zhou Zhou, clutching her bleeding forehead, gave an awkward but polite smile to her one-night stand partner and her husband, who were still facing off.

"Excuse me, could you please take me to the hospital first?"

Then he fainted due to excessive blood loss, and when he opened his eyes again, he was in a VIP ward.

Zhou Zhou slowly turned her neck, letting her gaze fall once again on the suit-wearing elite man.

This is Fu Hengzhi, Zhou Zhou's husband in the book.

The president of a listed company, standing at 1.85 meters tall, with broad shoulders, a narrow waist, and deep-set features. Ignoring his current angry expression, his shrewd, capable, and decisive aura alone would make even a man who dislikes men swoon over such a condition. And yet the original owner of this body still cheated on him.

What are you thinking? Could it be that the other person has some hidden illness?

Thinking of this, Zhou Zhou's gaze towards the other person gradually softened, filled with pity.

Fu Hengzhi was being stared at so openly. Unlike the greedy and clingy gaze he usually had, the other man's eyes were now clear and pure, and seemed to contain a hint of... sympathy?

Fu Hengzhi frowned deeply, his face full of disgust.

"Don't look at me like that. Even if Mom and Dad are angry, this divorce is still on!"

Fu Hengzhi could no longer tolerate it and could not stay there for even a minute longer.

I glanced at my watch; it was 11:50 PM.

"I can handle other things for you, but I'll have my secretary bring a divorce agreement at eight o'clock tomorrow morning. If you know what's good for you, just sign it."

Without waiting for Zhou Zhou's response, he slammed the door and left.

From the moment he entered until he left, Fu Hengzhi spent less than five minutes in the ward.

That temper.

Zhou Zhou stared at the slightly trembling door frame with her mouth slightly open, then closed her mouth again.

Staring back at the ceiling, he digested the original owner's memories while sighing deeply.

He was wrong, he was really wrong. He shouldn't have bought this book just to research a popular topic. If he hadn't bought it, he wouldn't have read it; if he hadn't read it, he wouldn't have been so agitated; if he hadn't been agitated, he wouldn't have wanted to take a short break to refresh his mind; and if he hadn't refreshed his mind, he wouldn't have ended up in this hellish world.

Fortunately, he was all alone and had no ties before he transmigrated into the book, otherwise he might be thinking about how to go back now.

"Hiss—" The wound on his forehead, which had just been bandaged, suddenly twitched, causing Zhou Zhou to gasp in pain.

Zhou Zhou covered his forehead, picked up the phone on the table, and used the black screen to examine his injuries and take a look at the appearance of the body.

"Wow?" Zhou Zhou was slightly surprised; the original owner did look quite handsome.

The screen reflected the face of a fair-skinned young man with a high nose bridge, delicate lips, raised eyebrows, and smiling eyes. His cheeks still had a bit of baby fat that hadn't been erased by time, making him look like he had just come of age. But Zhou Zhou knew that the original owner of this body was already twenty-five.

"No wonder he's in the entertainment industry." Zhou Zhou sighed, touching his face. The original owner's appearance was not exactly the same as his; in fact, they were completely unrelated.

Although he was a decent-looking guy before he transmigrated into the book, he wasn't as stunning as the guy who was in the entertainment industry.

Zhou Zhou opened the phone and entered the original owner's password to unlock it.

Since he's here, he might as well make the best of it. Since he's inherited the original owner's body and memories, he has to live a good life for them. He doesn't expect to live like a transmigrated male protagonist in an online novel, able to bankrupt someone with a flick of his finger, but at least he can escape the tragic plot and live a decent life.

Speaking of the tragic plot, Zhou Zhou began to think about how to proceed step by step.

Fu Hengzhi just mentioned that he will sign the divorce agreement tomorrow morning. According to the original novel, he will receive 30 million yuan from his ex-wife after the divorce.

The original owner was spoiled and used to luxury. In the end, he squandered his 30 million yuan fortune, was blacklisted by the company and lost his source of income, and died suddenly on the street.

Thirty million! A huge sum!

If you don't understand, just ask. Did the original owner eat up all the gold he had?

Zhou Zhou felt that with this huge sum of money in his possession, he could resume his old career as a writer, directly escaping the melodramatic and tragic endings and reaching the pinnacle of his life.

Skipping the struggle and hard work, I'll soon be enjoying a peaceful life with my wife, kids, and a warm bed. I'm actually quite excited about it.

Excited, Zhou Zhou wrapped herself in the blanket and chuckled to herself.

I didn't sleep a wink all night.

At 1:30 a.m., in the office of the president of Mingsen Listed Company, Fu Hengzhi slowly rubbed his temples while looking at a newly drafted divorce agreement. On the table next to him was a hands-free cell phone, from which a kind, weathered female voice was speaking.

“Xiao Zhou is a pitiful child. Even if you don’t have that kind of affection for him, you can treat him like a younger brother for now. What did he do that you want to divorce him…” Perhaps noticing that Fu Hengzhi hadn’t spoken for a long time, the woman’s voice paused, and after a moment she asked cautiously, “…Hengzhi, are you still listening?”

"I'm here, Aunt Feng." Fu Hengzhi picked up his phone, turned off the speakerphone, glanced at the time in the upper left corner, and advised in a cold but warm voice, "It's very late, you should rest. Let me think about this matter some more... Don't tell my parents yet."

At this point, a sigh came from the other end of the phone, "Okay, get some rest. You're still young, don't ruin your health by staying up late all the time. By the way, which hospital is Xiaozhou in? I want to go see him tomorrow."

"I'll have a driver pick you up tomorrow. You should get some rest."

After hanging up the phone, Fu Hengzhi pressed his throbbing temples.

When his father agreed to let him inherit the company ahead of schedule, his only condition was that he marry Zhou Zhou, the orphaned son of the Zhou family.

He didn't care at first, only wanting to get rid of those troublesome suitors by getting married, but little did he know that he would run into Zhou Zhou, a troublesome woman.

He's been dealing with one mess after another in the entertainment industry, and this time he absolutely has to sort out what's going on between the two of them.

As summer approached, the sun rose in the east, and a ray of golden sunlight shone through the gap in the curtains, illuminating the eyes of the well-behaved young man sleeping on the bed.

The young man's eyelids trembled, and he slowly opened his eyes. His gaze remained unwavering as he turned over and peacefully closed his eyes again.

'Bang bang'

A knock suddenly sounded on the door. Zhou Zhou opened his eyes a crack, barely able to see, and squinted as he got out of bed and opened the door.

"Fu Hengzhi?" Upon seeing that strikingly handsome face, Zhou Zhou instantly snapped to attention and blurted out, "Are you here to deliver money?"

"......"

Zhou Zhou was preoccupied with the 30 million he was about to receive and his freedom of marriage. Seeing Fu Hengzhi's dark face and silence, he noticed that there seemed to be someone standing behind him.

Zhou Zhou quickly accessed the original owner's memories and remembered that the kind-faced, simple-looking woman was Aunt Feng, the nanny who had worked for the Fu family for over thirty years. She was also the mediator between the original owner and Fu Hengzhi. The original owner had caused trouble many times before, angering Fu Hengzhi, and it was Aunt Feng who helped to stop it.

Aunt Feng had been divorced once and never remarried. In addition, the Fu and Zhou families were close friends and often visited each other. She treated Fu Hengzhi and Zhou Zhou, whom she had watched grow up, as her own children. Especially after the Zhou family's accident, Aunt Feng felt even more sorry for Zhou Zhou, a child without parents. She could be said to be the best person to the original owner of this body, apart from the elders on both sides.

"Aunt Feng?" Zhou Zhou called out tentatively. Seeing the light in Feng Xiaoxia's dim eyes as she held a thermos, he called out with even greater certainty, adding respect and greetings to his elder, "Aunt Feng, why didn't you tell me you were coming? Come, come, please come in and sit down."

Zhou Zhou reached out to stop Fu Hengzhi from leading Aunt Feng into the room first. He took the thermos from her and placed it on the bedside table, then pulled Aunt Feng to sit on the single sofa provided in the VIP ward.
