As the only girl born in the four generations of the Mo family – a prestigious and powerful family in Hua Xia – Mo Liu Gui has been adored since the day she was born. She is gorgeous, naive and intelligent. Behind her is the noble Mo family and by her side are countless excellent pursuers. Whether in career or relationships, she’s the heaven born life winner. It’s a pity that Mo Di is not Mo Liu Gui but a tragic contrast of what one would call life winner. He has been disliked by everyone in the Mo family since the day he was born. When he left the incubator, the whole family was competing for his sister but left him in the hospital corridor overnight. He never took a sip of his mother’s milk because it was just enough to feed one child. He has not been held by his father once because his father was extremely disgusted with the culprit who robbed his darling of nutrition in their mother’s womb. His five brothers never looked him in the eye. When he was six years old, they even ganged up to beat him till he had a fractured right leg which almost left him permanently disabled, all because he scored first place in his grade while his sister scored third, making Mo Liu Gui sad to the point of crying. Countless scolding, neglect, double standard treatment, and even ab*se in the name of education have been habitually done to Mo Di. Finally one day, the Mo Di who has been soft and obedient for eighteen years turned black. He was no longer a soft and sensible man but had become gloomy and aggressive. He ran away from home, started his own company and made new friends. Everything is booming but when his company was about to go public, he was found by the Mo family. During a struggle with Mo Liu Gui who was asking him to come home, she fell and almost had a miscarriage. This incited everyone’s anger and they forced him into a mental hospital. In the end, he died on his 25th birthday…Afterwards, he was reborn.

## My Thoughts on Rebirth of a Cannon Fodder from a Novel "Rebirth of a Cannon Fodder from a Novel" is definitely a wild ride, and not always in a good way. This story plunges you into a world of intense family drama, revenge, and a surprisingly sweet romance. It's a novel that evokes strong feelings, and while it has its flaws, it also has elements that kept me hooked. ### First Impressions Initially, I was taken aback by the sheer level of abuse the main character, Mo Di, endures. It's over-the-top, almost cartoonish, and it's definitely not for the faint of heart. The family's irrational hatred towards him, stemming from a twisted belief about his twin sister needing all the nutrients during pregnancy, felt contrived. However, I decided to stick around to see if the promised revenge would be worth it. ### What Works Well The romance between Mo Di and Mu Tian Heng is a definite highlight. Despite the dark themes, their relationship offers a heartwarming contrast. Mu Tian Heng is a doting and supportive partner, and it's genuinely touching to see him care for Mo Di, who has experienced so little kindness in his life. The "face-slapping" moments, where Mo Di gets his revenge on those who wronged him, are undeniably satisfying, especially given the extreme circumstances. Also, the author is great at writing likeable supporting characters. ### Areas of Concern The biggest issue I had was the brain-dead villains. The sister and her blind followers are so illogical and one-dimensional that it often felt frustrating rather than engaging. Their actions are frequently driven by plot convenience rather than believable motivations. The plot relies heavily on coincidences, which can stretch the bounds of believability. The constant melodrama and the sister's "white lotus" behavior can also be grating at times. And, the yandere aspect of the ML felt forced and unnecessary. ### ⚠️ Spoiler Warning Okay, let's talk about the plot twist. The sister is a transmigrator who read a BL novel where Mo Di and Mu Tian Heng were the main couple. Because she's a raging homophobe, she's determined to rewrite the story and destroy Mo Di's life. This revelation does explain some of the family's bizarre behavior, but it also feels like a last-minute justification for their cruelty. Also, Mu Tian Heng remembers his past life where he already loved Mo Di and avenged his death. ### Final Verdict "Rebirth of a Cannon Fodder from a Novel" is a guilty pleasure. It's not a masterpiece of literature, but it offers a compelling mix of revenge, romance, and over-the-top drama. If you're looking for a story with complex characters and nuanced plotlines, this isn't it. However, if you enjoy face-slapping, dog-blood melodrama, and a sweet romance, you might find yourself hooked, despite its flaws. I'd rate it a solid 3.5/5 – enjoyable but definitely not for everyone.
