Transmigrating into the role of a cannon-fodder male supporting character, he planned to keep his head down until the end, but accidentally spoiled the villain husband and their kid rotten.
[Official Synopsis]
After a car accident, Xie Yubai woke up to find that he had transmigrated into a melodramatic revenge novel, where he had become the “contract spouse” of the powerful villain, Gu Zhi.
In the original story, this cannon-fodder character didn't make it past three chapters. Now, not only did he have a sham marriage contract that would last four years, but he also had a four-year-old bundle of joy, Gu Xingche, who called him “Dad” the moment they met.
Everyone was waiting to see Gu Zhi throw him out,
Only Gu Zhi knew that someone else had taken over the body.
He watched coldly, curious to see how long this new “little wife” could keep up the act.
But then
Xie Yubai nursed the villain's corruption level down from 100% to 0%;
Tore up the sham marriage contract and turned it into a love letter;
Drove the cool, celibate Mr. Gu into becoming a clingy sweetheart;
And spoiled the little one into the toughest kid in the entire kindergarten.
Later, a business rival asked him, “President Gu, what is your greatest weakness?”
Gu Zhi took the hands of the two people beside him, one big and one small. “Them.”
Later still, the System asked Xie Yubai, “Mission complete. Do you want to return to your original world?”
Xie Yubai looked at Gu Zhi holding an umbrella for him in the rainy night, and at Chebao clinging to his leg. He smiled tenderly.
“I’m not going back. I’ve already moved my home here.”
After the rain stopped, I took off the villain, and I took down the stars too.
The plot and emotional descriptions are very touching, but there are too many repetitive points in the narrative and it jumps around a bit. Towards the end, it gives people a sense of confusion and irritation. But if you put these aside, it is still very good overall.
It's very good-looking, not long and drawn out, and it explains everything clearly.
It's right up my alley, and the romance is very well described. I highly recommend it, but it seems like not many people read it.
It's just right for me. It's not love at first sight, but it's also not a slow burn either. The pacing is just right. I really like it.
