The Laid-Back Slacker Is Pregnant with the Ambitious Tyrant's Child

The upcoming novel, “After My Sweet Omega Wife and the Dragon-Pride Protagonist Got the Wrong System,” is listed below the blurb. If you’re interested, please add it to your favorites! Meng Mianzhou was a distant... very distant poor relative of the former dynasty’s foolish emperor. So when news arrived that the former emperor had been beheaded by the brutal leader of the rebel army, his corpse hung on the palace walls for three days and nights, and princes and princesses were executed one after another... the purge of the emperor’s entire clan went on for a full month... Meng Mianzhou simply gathered up his quilt, rolled over contentedly, and slept even more soundly. After all, he was even more distantly related to the foolish emperor than Liu Bei, the sandal seller, was to Emperor Xian of Han! They could kill everyone else and still never get to him! But the next day, an unwelcome visitor showed up at his door. 【Hey there! We’ve detected that your grandmother’s grandmother’s second maternal uncle’s... aunt was the sister of the former emperor’s great-great-great... grandfather. Congratulations, you’ve successfully been bound to the Restoration System! Begin your imperial quest to claim the Central Plains!】 Meng Mianzhou snapped wide awake and hurriedly covered his ears with the quilt. In his previous life, he’d been caught in the rat race of modern society, competing until he was utterly worn out... He died at thirty without getting to enjoy a single day of life. This time, he’d sworn while still in the womb: Even if it killed him, he was going to be a lazy salted fish in this life! Restoring a dynasty sounded exhausting... especially when his opponent was a tyrant who had wiped out the former emperor’s entire clan, then slaughtered all the subordinates who had once fought alongside him! The System smiled. 【Host, you’re almost out of money. If you don’t accept my mission, you’ll have to go out and get a job.】 Get a job? Not a chance. He’d never work a day in his life! Meng Mianzhou sat bolt upright on his deathbed, then said despondently, 【Then kill me now. I want a peaceful death.】 System: ... After the System wheedled and pleaded, Meng Mianzhou finally relented. 【Is there a way to restore the dynasty without getting out of bed?】 System: ? System: There is! System: 【According to our analysis, Host, you’re 99% similar to the late tyrant’s dearly departed true love. All you have to do is bear the tyrant a child, wait until he dies, then have the child change the dynasty’s name... and the restoration will be a success!】 Meng Mianzhou, a lifelong workhorse, needed only one ear to catch the trap hidden in the System’s words. He sneered. 【You want me to fight in the imperial harem... That’s even more exhausting than restoring a dynasty. Just let me die peacefully.】 System: ... 【N-no, no harem scheming!】 【Really! I promise! Don’t worry, my shop carries a chemical castr... I mean, a miraculous medicine that protects a man’s chastity. It’s colorless and odorless. Once you’ve had the child, secretly give it to the tyrant. After that, if anyone else claims to be carrying the tyrant’s child, swear on your whole clan that they’ve debased the imperial harem and deserve death! 【So you can just lie back and win!】 Meng Mianzhou, whose entire clan consisted of himself: ... 【...Fine.】 In the eyes of outsiders, the tyrant Chu Hancang was cold-blooded, cruel, and unpredictable. But in his heart, he had always kept a place for his one true love. When Chu Hancang was fifteen, disaster struck his family and he was sold into slavery. Fortunately, the person who bought him was a young man with a terrible reputation. The young man had a bad reputation because he was lazy. When Chu Hancang first started working, he was clumsy and broke an expensive vase worth several hundred taels. The young man angrily picked up a whip, then put it down, flopped onto the ground like a soft pile of egg custard, and sighed. “Forget it. I can’t be bothered to beat you.” Someone leaned close to the young man and falsely accused Chu Hancang of being light-fingered, stealing things from the household and selling them. The young man didn’t even bat an eyelid. “Can’t be bothered to suspect him.” The outsider kept sowing discord, and the young man was eventually convinced. “Fine.” “But investigating this would be such a hassle. I really can’t be bothered. Hmm... Let Chu Hancang investigate it himself.” The outsider and Chu Hancang: ... Chu Hancang thought laziness was wonderful. Simply marvelous. Until one day, refugees rioted, bandits blended in among them, and the young man’s household was ransacked. His life was even in danger. While they were being pursued, Chu Hancang injured both arms protecting the young man. The young man said he couldn’t run anymore, and Chu Hancang begged him through tears to keep going. The young man had a sudden inspiration. “Xiao Cang, I’ve thought of a way to run fast without using any strength!” The young man curled into a ball and rolled straight down the steep slope, but at the bottom was a cliff hundreds of feet deep. Chu Hancang: “No!” At the palace banquet. Presented as a beauty, Meng Mianzhou gazed at the imposing emperor seated high above him. He tried to remember the System’s instructions, but most of them had slipped his mind. Of the few he could recall, he couldn’t be bothered to follow any. What a hassle, what a hassle. Meng Mianzhou simply gave up and flopped down. “Tyrant, I really can’t be bothered to win you over. Just come and take me!” The moment he said it, the whole hall was stunned. Everyone thought the beauty was about to die. But when Chu Hancang saw that familiar face from his dreams, his eyes reddened and he nearly burst into tears. Trembling all over, he walked down from the dais one step at a time, dropped to one knee, and bent over to lift the person he had yearned for so desperately into his arms. “...All right.” Bonus Scene 1: After years of campaigning, Chu Hancang realized that no matter how carefully he looked after Meng Mianzhou, his beloved still needed the strength to protect himself. So every day, he made Meng Mianzhou train. Rain or shine, nothing could stop him. The salted-fish Meng Mianzhou was miserable. The System took the opportunity to whisper in his ear. “Host, if you get pregnant, you won’t have to exercise! Who would make a pregnant man run an 800-meter race? They’d be condemned for it!” Exhausted to the point of collapse, Meng Mianzhou actually thought the System had a good idea. He took the initiative to spend night after night with Chu Hancang, and at last he got pregnant. Meng Mianzhou wept with joy, convinced that at last he could live the good life. But before long, he started throwing up and suffering from diarrhea, miserable enough that all he could do was lie in Chu Hancang’s arms and sob. 【System, you absolute scammer... You’ve ruined me!】 Bonus Scene 2: Rumor had it that another remnant of the former dynasty was plotting to restore it. Chu Hancang was furious and ordered a thorough investigation. But after searching high and low, the investigation led straight to his own empress and young crown prince. Meng Mianzhou coughed guiltily and poked his child’s cheek. The crown prince puffed out his chest and declared righteously, “That’s right, Father Emperor. My father and I are remnants of the former dynasty.” “But Father Emperor, don’t be afraid. Our plan is to wait until you die, then I’ll become emperor and change the dynasty’s name to Hua!” Hua was the name of the former dynasty. Chu Hancang sighed. “There’s no need for that. It’s only a dynasty name. Just tell me, and I’ll have it changed tomorrow.” A minister nearby heard this and turned pale with shock, hurrying to his knees. “Your Majesty, you absolutely must not! Changing the dynasty’s name would shake the foundations of the state and dishonor our ancestors...” Chu Hancang turned a cold gaze on him. The minister suddenly remembered that the man before him was the founding emperor of the current dynasty... Oh, never mind. He himself was the ancestor. The minister calmly stood back up as though nothing had happened. Meng Mianzhou, who usually couldn’t be bothered to give his opinion, spoke up. “There’s no need to change it. I like the current name.” The System protested. 【Host, how could you do this? Are you going to finish the restoration mission or not?】 Meng Mianzhou: 【Have you forgotten my name?】 The System was speechless. And the name chosen for the dynasty at its founding was Zhou, the same Zhou as in Meng Mianzhou. Reading Guide: 1. Set in a fictional world.
