After his death, Jiang Xiaoman found himself transmigrated in a tr*shy romance novel called ‘Sassy & Charming Thief: The Crippled Crown Prince Is Domineering.’ In this world, he assumed the role of a supporting character tasked with aiding the male and female protagonists of this story. His only chance of resurrection depended on successfully assisting them.
In the end, due to a small mishap, he was mistakenly identified as the cannon fodder antagonist who died off early in the tenth chapter.
Setting for the cannon fodder antagonist: An eighty-year-old man, a revered Taoist master known as a living immortal, renowned for his ability to supposedly cure the prince’s leg with just one needle.
Jiang Xiaoman, the eighty-year-old master’s disciple: ???
Jiang Xiaoman, taking a gamble as a substitute doctor, gave the prince an impromptu injection. To everyone’s surprise, the crippled prince stood up.
With the first needle, the crippled prince leaped to his feet.
With the second needle, the crippled prince jumped up and pursued him, resulting in a brawl between them.
The crowd: ‘It’s a miracle!’
The crippled Crown Prince: ‘You’re done for!’
Jiang Xiaoman: ‘It wasn’t intentional! How could I have known you were pretending to be crippled!’
The Crown Prince: ‘I will reveal your deceit, you phony immortal.’
(Shortly after)
The Crown Prince: ‘The immortal is quite adorable, but considering that the immortal is already eighty, what if in the middle of something important, the immortal suddenly ascends to the heavens?’
Jiang Xiaoman: ‘Have you forgotten that there’s also a feisty female lead waiting for you?’
One-sentence summary: You pretend to be crippled, and I pretend to be an immortal.
