A Dominant Alpha Reborn as a Pitiful Little Substitute

"I love him, though he's beyond my reach; I resent him for standing by and watching. Must the bright moon itself bend down to look at me?", "Love Him, My Bright Moon"

Alpha Wen Cheng transmigrates into a book.

He becomes the frail moonlight beloved of the male lead in an old-school angsty romance, causing trouble and driving a wedge between the lovers until the male lead kills him with his own hands, leaving him with a tragic ending.

Wen Cheng shudders and curses the author for being inhuman, but he has no choice but to keep playing his role.

Liang Ze allows his pack of cronies to bully his substitute, the story's male lead, Xia Qingshi, without restraint, claiming he's just helping Liang Ze get revenge.

As Xia Qingshi kneels on the ground, someone grips his chin and pours alcohol down his throat, and Wen Cheng suddenly remembers the ending of the book.

[An elite university graduate willingly becomes a substitute, gives his love to the wrong person, and ends up disabled in one leg. The domineering CEO humbly begs him to come back, and they eventually live happily ever after.]

Wen Cheng cuts this farce short with a cold laugh, takes Xia Qingshi's hand, and strides away.

He has only one thought: To hell with substitute angst! To hell with happily ever after! To hell with that scumbag!

-

He thinks that redirecting Xia Qingshi's attention toward his career and avoiding falling in love with Liang Ze will be enough to change the original ending and make everything right.

But Wen Cheng unexpectedly presents as an Omega, has a wild night with Xia Qingshi, and ends up permanently marked.

Xia Qingshi and Liang Ze fall out completely over him, becoming mortal enemies. Worse still, Wen Cheng seems to be pregnant.

The plot has gone completely off the rails!

Wen Cheng decides to run away. When he wakes up, he is met with Xia Qingshi's face and a gentle smile that somehow sends a chill through him.

A ring, cold and smooth, is slipped onto his ring finger.

"Wen Cheng, if you don't want me, where are you taking our child?"
