Quick Transmigration: Saving That Cannon Fodder

[This is a fictional Republic of China era; please don't take it too seriously.]

"Have you heard? A new star has arrived at the theater. His figure and voice are like a fairy."

"Isn't she just an opera singer? Isn't the famous actress Li Lan'er much prettier?"

"You don't know anything. That new star is said to be a man. Not only is he better looking than Li Lan'er, but the way he looks at people is also very cunning."

"Oh my, won't this make all those men go crazy?"

"Pah, a man who only knows how to seduce women, he really has no shame."

……

Akahoshi opened his eyes and found himself in a luxuriously decorated private room.

Exquisite wooden furniture, paired with luxurious fabrics and fine artwork, with a red leather sofa beneath her.

The sound of several women talking came from next door, but Akahoshi ignored it because it was too noisy.

He called out in his mind: "Xiao Wu."

250's tone was cheerful: "Your Highness, this world is about to face another struggle."

Akahoshi nearly fainted; life without his brother was truly miserable.

This was an era of great change and turmoil, with a recent change of regime, severe warlordism, and widespread chaos.

Chi Xing, the eldest son of the Chi family in Nancheng, is Commander Chi's most valued son and his chosen successor.

As the son of the wealthy and powerful in this bustling metropolis, he was a household name.

No one knew that the original owner had known someone since college. In fact, Akahoshi was an informant for the new regime, infiltrated into the warlords of Nancheng.

After returning to Nancheng, the original owner only needed to play the role of the crown prince.

In less than two years, he firmly established himself as a major general in this southern city, making the forces in other provincial cities wary of him.

But he was the son of Commander Chi, and almost no one dared to mess with him.

The original owner was not misled by the chaos and prosperity of the world. In addition to securing his position as the crown prince, he also secretly provided a lot of clues and destroyed many dens that manufactured and sold pornographic films.

Later, he obtained hundreds of classified intelligence reports and saved the new regime from danger on several occasions.

After regaining his identity, he resolutely threw himself into the War of Resistance against Japan.

When Old Master Chi found out, he joined his son without hesitation.

Not long after, war broke out in the southern part of the city, and both father and son died in the smoke and fire of battle.

The original owner's life was very short, and he had only one wish before he died: to protect his country and hope that Chixing would make more contributions to the country's prosperity and development.

Instead of giving the original body to the System Bureau, Chi Xing used his divine power to send him to the prosperous modern world, so that he could see for himself how the land he was protecting would become so powerful that no one would dare to shake it in the slightest.

Seeing Akahoshi's actions, 250 raised his paw and took a picture.

Akahoshi: [Where's Tama? Where is she?]

250: [The immortal lord of this world is named Zhou Siyu, a famous actor in the opera house. He is a man who plays a female role, yet he is charming and alluring. His voice is comparable to that of a lark, causing countless wealthy merchants to fall for him.]

Zhou Siyu is seventeen years old this year. She was recently bought by the opera house from elsewhere and has been performing for more than two years.

After arriving at the Nancheng Opera House, he sang "The Peony Pavilion" on his first stage performance, and from then on became a famous star sought after by everyone.

Mr. Li, the owner of the Nancheng Opera House, thought he had gotten a great deal, but he didn't expect that Zhou Siyu could only sing opera and nothing else.

After finishing her performance each day, she would stay in the theater. She didn't know how to speak or please people, and every time she saw Boss Li, she would ask: "Do I have enough money to redeem myself?"

At first, Mr. Li wanted to teach him how to please people, but later he found that the kid was just a fool, so he had no choice but to lie to him and say that he didn't have enough money.

With his looks, if we were to actually redeem him and let him go, he might just die in this chaotic world one day.

However, Zhou Siyu's appearance was truly outstanding. Even though Boss Li made it clear to the outside world that he was a man, there were still many people who wanted to buy him back as a concubine.

Among them was Akahoshi's half-brother, Akahoshi Xun, who had returned from studying abroad. Akahoshi Xun was the son of the second concubine and was Akahoshi's half-brother.

In addition, there is Cheng Minghui, the son of the governor of the neighboring West City.

250: [Cheng Minghui is the male protagonist of this world. He falls in love with Zhou Siyu at first sight and buys her to be his seventh concubine.]

Mr. Li wanted to stop them, but it was no use. Faced with people wielding guns, Mr. Li, a businessman, could do nothing.

After Zhou Siyu went to the Cheng family, Cheng Minghui quickly learned that he was a little fool. At first, he treated him very well and only let him sing operas on weekdays.

But soon he found a new love, the female protagonist of this world, named Chen Manman.

Chen Manman is a young lady who returned from studying abroad. She has liked Cheng Minghui since childhood, and even though she knows that he has seven concubines, she still married into the family.

She was skilled in bedroom matters, so much so that Cheng Minghui wished he could die in her room. Chen Manman used her own methods to kill all seven concubines and became the only young mistress of the Cheng family.

Among them, Zhou Siyu suffered the most, because Cheng Minghui treated him very specially and often listened to him sing opera.

Chen Manman had someone administer a drug to Zhou Siyu to make him mute, rendering him unable to perform, and then splashed boiling water on his face to disfigure him.

However, Zhou Siyu had a good figure, and Cheng Minghui still couldn't forget her, going to her room several nights in a row.

Chen Manman was naturally unhappy. One day, when Cheng Minghui was away, she had Zhou Siyu thrown into a beggar's den, where she was abused to death within two days.

After reading the plot, Akahoshi's fists hardened; this was a world where people devoured each other.

Where is Ayu?

250: [At the South City Theater.]

*

Beneath the magnolia blossoms, a handsome young man sat upright in a soft chair, his slender, pale hands clasped together at his lower abdomen.

Her clear, bright eyes were pure and innocent as she stared intently ahead, and when she opened her mouth, she uttered a melodious operatic tune.

Several people passed by the house behind them, rolling their eyes.

"Tsk, she really has the life of a young lady. She wakes up every day and doesn't have to do anything but sit there singing and seducing people."

"Don't say that. He's a man, a young master no matter what."

"Hmph, isn't she just a bought little slut? She doesn't deserve to be called a young master!"

In this theater, everyone is a singer, so why should Zhou Siyu pretend to be stupid and not have to do anything?

Wang Cuier couldn't help but walk over quickly, throwing the feather duster in her hand at Zhou Siyu, and said sarcastically with her hands on her hips:

"Miss Zhou, I heard we have distinguished guests coming today. Wouldn't you like to help with the chores?"

Zhou Siyu didn't flinch when she was hit on the back; instead, she seemed to have her thoughts disrupted, and frowned as she pondered.

I forgot where I was in the song. My master said that I have to practice every day and can't be lazy. Once I save enough money to redeem myself, I can go home.

He hadn't seen his parents for a very long time. His uncle said that his parents had gone on a long trip, and that if Ayu learned to sing opera well, his parents would be able to come back.

But Zhou Siyu didn't understand why her uncle had sold her. She only remembered what her master had said: after being sold, she had to work hard to sing operas and earn money to redeem herself before she could go home.
