Description
Lin Zhiyu died, realizing in his final moments that his suffering was because he was just a cannon fodder in a wealthy family’s story. In the novel “The Fake Daughter is Spoiled to Heaven,” the fake daughter, Ruan Jiaojiao, is the protagonist. After being spoiled by the Zhao family, she struggled when the real daughter returned. Her confession to Lin Zhiyu failed, causing her to break down and run away. She then miraculously met her true, powerful family, who retaliated against those who hurt her. Soon after, the Zhao family, who loved Ruan Jiaojiao, was destroyed, and Lin Zhiyu, blamed for rejecting Ruan Jiaojiao and causing her to run away, faced the most vicious revenge. His family went bankrupt, his parents and sister met tragic ends, and he was slandered, transforming from a beloved figure to a despised one. Expelled from school, he was abducted by the Ruan family, mutilated, and turned into a “freak show” at an underground casino in Southeast Asia. He endured this hell for three months before finally dying. However, no one expected that the vengeful ghost of Lin Zhiyu, who died with eyes wide open, would be reborn.

My Thoughts on It Turns Out I’m Just Cannon Fodder in a Rich Family’s Story
This novel promises drama, romance, and revenge, all wrapped up in a modern fantasy setting. As someone who enjoys a good face-slapping story, I was eager to dive in. After considering a range of opinions, here's my take.
First Impressions
The initial chapters definitely grab your attention. I found myself immediately invested in the protagonist, Lin Zhiyu, and his plight. The setup is classic cannon fodder: wronged in a past life, reborn with a chance for vengeance. It's a familiar trope, but one that can be incredibly satisfying when done well.
What Works Well
I particularly enjoyed the dynamic between Lin Zhiyu and Xie You Zhou, the male lead. Several readers described him as a "wolfdog" type, and I can see why. He's fiercely devoted and undeniably powerful, and his unwavering support of the MC is a definite highlight. The romance, while slow-burn, does develop into something quite sweet. I appreciated the focus on both the characters' individual careers and their growing relationship. The revenge plot, while not solely executed by the MC, is ultimately fulfilling. The villains get their just desserts, which is always a plus.
Areas of Concern
While the overall story is enjoyable, I did find some aspects a bit lacking. Several readers pointed out that the characters, particularly the villains, can be somewhat two-dimensional. While their actions are certainly outrageous, I sometimes felt like they lacked depth and complexity. Additionally, the MC's active role in the revenge felt somewhat diminished by the ML's overwhelming power. It would have been nice to see Lin Zhiyu take a more active role in dismantling his enemies. Finally, while the plot is engaging, it can feel rushed at times, with certain sections glossed over.
