Quick Wear: I Fulfill the Wish of Cannon Fodder

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, five years have passed since Zhou Zilang left home for Beijing. Chengming and Zhaozhao, who were just learning to speak back then, are now seven years old, but there is still no news from their father, whom they miss so much.

The original owner waited anxiously for her husband to return home and reunite. However, the day-after-day wait gradually eroded the last shred of hope in her heart. Finally, unable to contain her longing and worry, she repeatedly asked her mother-in-law to personally travel to the capital to search for her husband's whereabouts.

But every time, Zhou's mother would do everything in her power to stop her. She would either make up excuses or put on a stern face and scold the original owner, determined not to let her embark on the journey to find her husband.

Faced with her mother-in-law's repeated stubbornness, the original owner couldn't help but wonder: Why was she so adamantly opposed to her going to find her husband? Could she be hiding some hidden secret? Driven by doubt and unease, the original owner finally made up her mind. Without telling her mother-in-law, she secretly took her two sensible and lovely children and resolutely embarked on a journey to Beijing filled with uncertainty...

Zhou's mother was terrified, fearing that the truth would be revealed, so she hurriedly wrote a letter and ordered a reliable person to deliver it to the capital at full speed. The letter detailed all the matters concerning Su Lan.

Meanwhile, Zhou Zilang's status as a royal consort propelled him to a meteoric rise, leading to his successful promotion to the position of Shangshu. Furthermore, the princess gave birth to a lovely son, Zhou Chengyun, now four years old, and the family of three enjoyed a happy and carefree life.

However, when Zhou Zilang received the letter from his mother, a murderous intent suddenly surged in his heart.

The original owner and her two young children were left on the run for their lives, seemingly unaccounted for. Along the way, the killers pursued them relentlessly, and the situation became extremely critical. To ensure the safety of her children, the original owner resolutely decided to lead the murderous killers away alone, while instructing the children to find a secluded place to hide.

But even though she tried her best to escape, she was ultimately no match for the other party's superior lightness skills.

In the end, the original owner was ruthlessly stabbed in the throat by an assassin, dying on the spot. Afterwards, her cold body was carelessly discarded like garbage in a deserted mass grave.

However, as a mother, even after her death, her soul was still concerned about her two underage children. She was worried about letting them go alone to find their father, so she was reluctant to leave and turned into a lonely ghost wandering in the world.

She watched helplessly as the brilliant Zhou Chengming and his sister searched for their biological father's whereabouts. Their efforts paid off, and after a difficult search, they finally learned that their father was now a powerful minister. Filled with hope, the siblings followed their path until they found the gate of the minister's mansion.

However, what they never expected was that the man who once made a solemn vow with their mother to protect them for the rest of their lives, Zhou Zilang, now flatly denied that the two children were his own flesh and blood.

Faced with the children's expectant eyes, his heart was as hard as stone, and he insisted that they were just scammers who came out of nowhere and were trying to curry favor with the powerful.

Zhou Zilang had already carefully arranged everything. He had specifically dispatched his own housekeeper to quietly and safely escort the two innocent children out of the mansion before the princess returned home, planning to retrieve them after Zhou's mother arrived in the capital.

However, fate always seems to like playing tricks on people. Just when this seemingly foolproof plan was about to be implemented, a sudden change caught everyone off guard.

It turned out that the princess's beloved son had contracted an extremely rare and dangerous acute illness. After careful diagnosis and consultation, the doctors determined that the treatment required the blood of a relative. This news was like a bolt from the blue, instantly shattering all tranquility.

At the same time, the princess accidentally heard a rumor that several children in the capital were looking for their relatives everywhere, and the name of their father mentioned was exactly the same as that of her husband Zhou Zilang!

So, the cruel princess immediately seized this opportunity and used it to force Zhou Zilang to hand over the two children so that she could use them as life-saving medicine for her own flesh and blood.

Faced with such a difficult choice, even though Zhou Zilang felt helpless and reluctant, he sent his daughter Zhaozhao away in order to preserve his bright future.

From then on, poor little Zhaozhao was fostered in the princess's courtyard, where she lived a life worse than death. Not only did she have to endure the pain of having her blood drawn from her body, but she also had to serve the arrogant people in the princess's mansion like a lowly maid, leading an extremely humble life.

The original owner's ghost was very weak. She could only watch her daughter suffer but was unable to help Zhao Zhao escape from the suffering.

Time passed, and finally the day arrived for Zhou's mother to come to Beijing. As soon as she arrived at her villa in the capital, she couldn't wait to take her grandson, Zhou Chengming, away. However, the young Zhou Chengming resolutely refused to go back with his grandmother.

Since his mother's death and his sister's mysterious disappearance, his young heart has endured too much pain and suffering. Now, how could he bear to abandon everything and leave alone?

So, taking advantage of the dead of night, the brave and stubborn little Chengming secretly escaped from the carriage back to his hometown, and found an opportunity when the princess's mansion was recruiting a young master to study with him, and sneaked into the mansion.

However, he was still just an underage child whose mind was not yet fully mature. When he saw his tortured sister, the fear and heartache in his heart instantly overwhelmed his rationality, and he couldn't help but call out his sister's name.

This cry was insignificant, but it aroused the suspicion of the high-ranking princess. After some investigation, the princess finally learned that her husband had a pair of adorable twin children with his first wife! This news was like a bolt from the blue, and the princess was furious.

Naturally, poor Zhou Chengming became one of the ingredients in the medicine used to cure his brother's illness. And even more tragic things were to come—the enraged princess ordered his legs broken and imprisoned him in a desolate courtyard. From then on, Zhou Chengming lived a life of darkness and misery.

The young Zhaozhao looked at her brother covered in wounds and could only cry helplessly. Tears kept flowing like a flood, until her bright eyes were finally broken.

As for the original owner? Even if she was filled with endless rage, how could a wandering ghost like her interfere in the affairs of the mortal world? Furthermore, the princess was a member of the royal family, protected by dragon energy. It was impossible for a weak ghost like her to easily approach her.

And so, five years later, Zhou Chengming and his sister passed away in a bitterly cold winter. Their bodies, like their mother's, were ruthlessly dumped in a desolate mass grave. Perhaps, in a way, this was another form of "reunion"...

Things are far from over here. Unexpectedly, the real protagonist of this small world is not Zhou Zilang and the princess, but their lovely baby son - Zhou Chengyun.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, Zhou Chengyun has reached adulthood. It was during this year that fate's gears began to turn, and he unexpectedly met the extraordinary woman, Du Ruoxi, who had traveled through time. From that moment on, their lives became inextricably intertwined.

Zhou Chengyun, with his extraordinary wisdom and business acumen, devoted himself to helping Du Ruoxi run her business. With his assistance, Du Ruoxi successfully gained a foothold in the bustling capital and gradually emerged as a successful person.

At the same time, the intelligent and clever Du Ruoxi was not to be outdone. She used her unique insights and strategies to advise Zhou Chengyun, helping him step by step to the pinnacle of power, and eventually become a powerful official who was feared by the court and the people and had power over the world.

However, the story's original plot wasn't quite that simple. If it were simply about revenge for the original owner, who had become cannon fodder, it would be nothing more than a mid-level mission.

But as the saying goes, things are unpredictable, and at this moment, due to the careless manipulation of heaven, Zhou Chengming was reborn!
