Chapter 180 - 178: Only Perfunctory and Sloppy Towards Him
Vicious cannon fodder villainess?
Shen Yinning thought to herself that this was quite a fresh term. She wondered where Yin Shanshan had picked it up from.
Setting aside her questionable character, Shen Yinning actually thought Yin Shanshan was someone with quite a few commendable traits.
For example, her little trick for making ice, her ideas for a courier company and a Western-style restaurant. However, this girl didn’t usually come across as particularly smart. Who knew if these ideas were even hers in the first place.
She deliberately teased Yin Shanshan, saying, "And what if I were to stand in your way?"
"Hmph!" Yin Shanshan snapped back indignantly, "According to the rules of transmigration novels I’ve read, the vicious cannon fodder villainesses all meet tragic ends. Either they die horribly, or they live a life worse than death! The legitimate wife who lacks foresight, like you, is usually exposed by a clever transmigrated female lead like me after scheming in vain, then cast aside, married off to some lowly, impoverished commoner or servant, and ends up living a wretched life! Meanwhile, I, along with Zheng-lang, would bask in endless glory and riches, even making it into the annals of history! Shen Yinning, I’m warning you out of the goodness of my heart — don’t make yourself a fool!"
Shen Yinning smiled faintly: "But how can you prove that you and Gao Zheng are the male and female leads, and that I’m merely the side character who highlights your undying love?"
The question stumped Yin Shanshan.
After a while, she responded dismissively, "That’s just how it’s written in all the novels! Besides, haven’t you noticed? I’m completely different from you feudal women — I’m much smarter than all of you!"
She ordered her maid to bring over a delicate album and tossed it to Shen Yinning.
