Jiang Yao accidentally discovered that he was in a certain online novel, the kind where men have babies.
The next second, after making eye contact with his childhood friend Gu Yanshen from across the room, he was so bewildered that he couldn't help looking away.
The old Jiang Yao, looking at Gu Yanshen: A man of pure desires, immune to romance.
The new Jiang Yao, looking at Gu Yanshen: The novel's male lead, a lofty beauty, a fertile body everyone wants to claim... only to be abandoned by a scumbag.
Jiang Yao: Bro, you're so pitiful.jpg
At last, unable to bear the thought of his straight childhood friend having two kids in three years and ending up in misery, Jiang Yao resolved to defy fate for him. After that, he looked at everyone like they were thieves:
A junior came all the way to City A to organize a get-together,
Jiang Yao: What a flimsy excuse. Hilarious!
A scheming neighbor threw himself at him,
Jiang Yao shook his fist. "Hey, you. Keep your hands to yourself."
He warded off the bad romances, but not quite all of them.
After someone spiked his drink, Jiang Yao locked the hotel room door. Before he could get the words of comfort out, someone kissed him into silence.
Jiang Yao's spine went cold. Gu Yanshen had just grabbed his wrist and pinned him against the wall, and after the world spun around, he was pressed against the floor-to-ceiling window.
His childhood friend's kisses were gentle and close, like a spring breeze, but a storm was raging in his eyes.

After years of secret love, just as Gu Yanshen was preparing to take his feelings to the grave, a car accident happened.
Jiang Yao was physically unharmed, but the accident scrambled his brain, mixing up reality with a novel.
At first, everyone who heard Jiang Yao talking nonsense was like: …
So shocking, so ridiculous. How can anyone put up with this?
Then everyone received scripts full of lines like "go along with it" and "bully and seduce him," and their jaws hit the floor.
Gu Yanshen, are you even crazier? You're setting yourself up?!!

In the hotel, Jiang Yao's heartbeat was loud enough to deafen him.
At the first kiss, his head buzzed.
At the second, he pinched himself. It hurt. He wasn't dreaming!
At the third, Jiang Yao's soul left his body. He was freaking out, and only managed to free his tongue at the last moment, tears sliding from the corners of his eyes.
"So the price of changing the protagonist's fate is sacrificing yourself? The author is awful!"
Gu Yanshen leisurely swallowed the tears on his face, then lifted his eyes in agreement. "They really are awful."
"How about... you have my baby too?"
Jiang Yao: ?!! Don't scare me like that!

One day, much later,
Jiang Yao could no longer ignore the very noticeable belly.
He swore that whoever ate dinner was a pig.
He was betting that this cursed world wasn't really a pregnancy novel, right? O_o

3. A personal idea; the logic doesn't hold up to scrutiny.
4. The blurb may be polished, but the core premise won't change.
