Reborn as Cannon Fodder? Not in This Lifetime!

Zhong Ning wakes up in an ancient world with one job: die and hand over her stuff to the protagonist. Hard pass. Armed with nothing but wit and a survival instinct, she ditches the doomed script and carves her own path to power. While a parade of devoted suitors vies for her attention, she's too busy building an empire to care. From expendable extra to unstoppable force—this is one cannon fodder who refuses to explode on cue.
