No A9, No Rescue!

Yun Sui transmigrated into the protagonist bottom of an old-school street-stall romance novel about picking up men. The System gave him a mission: find the male lead, save his life, then experience a heart-wrenching romance full of love and hate, marry into a wealthy family, and live the life of a pampered rich wife, surrounded by fine clothes and lavish food, spending money like water. Taking the cautious view that you can't just pick up some strange man off the street, Yun Sui set his standards very high. No ugly ones, no short ones, and anyone with assets below A9 wasn't even worth considering. No one was going to ruin his dream of marrying into a wealthy family. He waited and waited until his place was practically a rescue station for the injured. Then one day, he finally found two men lying side by side in the grass by the road. They looked as if they'd just fought a fierce battle: their clothes were disheveled, and they were both wounded. One had a gash on his head, while the other had a bandage wrapped around his arm. Both were unconscious, but even so, each had a handsome face in his own way. Yun Sui had no idea which one was the real male lead, so he took them both home. The man with the head injury was completely clean, with nothing valuable on him. His ID card, in his wallet, had two characters on it: Yan Su. As for the man with the injured arm, the handful of black cards and limited-edition leather wallet Yun Sui found on him were proof enough of his considerable wealth. His name was Zhuang Zhengyu. One look at Zhuang Zhengyu, and Yun Sui knew he was his future husband. While they recovered, Yun Sui naturally devoted all his attention to Zhuang Zhengyu. He made soup and brought him medicine, fussed over him, and kept casting glances at him with his affectionate eyes. His little scheme was practically written all over his face. Zhuang Zhengyu seemed to enjoy it, too. They exchanged meaningful looks, the air between them grew increasingly charged, and before long, a baby was on the way. Zhuang Zhengyu told him that Yan Su was one of his subordinates. Once they had recovered, Zhuang Zhengyu took Yun Sui away with him. They got engaged and married, and within three years they had two children. Being a rich family's daughter-in-law wasn't easy: there were countless rules, and Yun Sui had to stay on guard against all the women throwing themselves at Zhuang Zhengyu. * Just as Yun Sui discovered he was pregnant again, before he could tell his husband, who was away on a business trip, he sat in the garden of their estate drinking freshly squeezed juice made by the staff. He was working out that the third baby ought to be a girl, to complete the perfect family, when the System, missing for nearly four years, suddenly came back to life in his mind. "Host, a major deviation from the plot has been detected. You saved the wrong person! Zhuang Zhengyu is not the male lead of this story. He's the story's biggest villain. Yan Su is the male lead." Yun Sui's hand jerked, making the juice in his glass spill. The words escaped him before he could stop himself. "...Excuse me?" * Only after learning that the husband he'd shared a bed with for three years was the story's biggest villain did Yun Sui belatedly realize what kind of terrifying person lay beneath Zhuang Zhengyu's refined and gentle exterior. He had toyed with Yan Su like a dog, keeping him under his thumb and taking everything that should have belonged to him, including vital resources and status, and even... the male lead's wife. What could Yun Sui do? The baby in his belly was almost three months along, and Zhuang Zhengyu had personally promised that if this one turned out to be a girl, he'd reward Yun Sui with an island. Just as Yun Sui was trying to convince himself that it didn't matter if his husband was a villain, as long as he treated him well, Yan Su suddenly regained his memories. * The true male lead cautiously tracked Yun Sui down, after all, Yun Sui had once saved his life. "Sister-in-law," Yan Su said. "Come with me and bring the children. They've got enough to bring Zhuang Zhengyu down. I don't want you to get hurt." Yun Sui looked at Yan Su's earnest, sincere face. Damn it, the male lead wanted to ruin his dream of marrying into a wealthy family! Yun Sui decided to lie low beside the male lead for a while and find out what terrible things Zhuang Zhengyu had actually done. If nobody had died and he hadn't crossed any lines, then Yun Sui could still do his best to save the father of his children. After all, he'd picked up so many men over the years, and they were all useful connections. He never expected Zhuang Zhengyu to come after him a few months later. It was a gloomy afternoon. Yun Sui's belly was already starting to show, and Yan Su was helping him out of a black sedan when a long black luxury car suddenly pulled up in front of them. The car door opened, and Zhuang Zhengyu stepped out, several bodyguards behind him. His face held none of the gentle smile Yun Sui knew. Instead, he wore a chilling, sinister smile, as if he'd crawled straight out of hell. "Wife, I've had such a hard time finding you." Yun Sui saw him staring at his belly. "W-wait! Honey, let me explain!" Zhuang Zhengyu looked past him at Yan Su. The curve of his lips deepened, but his voice was cold enough to freeze. "I'm the one who's at fault, darling. I failed to protect you. It's fine, I'll chop up the adulterer and throw him into the sea for the fish. As for this little bastard..." Yan Su: "...The adulterer?" Yun Sui: "...The little bastard?" He looked down at his slightly rounded belly, then at Zhuang Zhengyu's terrifying expression, which didn't look like a joke at all. It seemed his dream of marrying into a wealthy family hadn't been shattered yet, but Zhuang Zhengyu might be the first one to break apart. On the Way to Save My Husband, I Became a Big Shot A super pickup artist with a vast network of connections as the protagonist bottom, paired with a refined, sinister villain as the top Dual systems, comedy * Also, please check out my upcoming novel: Healing Cats, Dogs, and a CEO Tu Zhi is a rabbit spirit who works as a veterinary assistant in Peace Town. He helps treat cats and dogs and assists the doctor. Most of the time, he sits with a book about animals and studies. He isn't very good at medicine, actually, but thanks to his keen intuition, he can accurately locate the source of an illness. Tu Zhi isn't much of a medical expert, but he makes up for it with experience. The small town is home to many plants and animals that have gained sentience, and its ecosystem is thriving. Then one day, an especially wealthy developer arrives and announces that he's going to develop their town. He even includes the forest, a favorite place for the local animals, in his plans. But then the wicked developer is attacked in the middle of the night by some animal bearing a grudge and is brought to Tu Zhi's clinic. Tu Zhi is used to fixing animals, so he has no idea how to fix a person. People usually come to the clinic with their pets, so Tu Zhi can only treat a half-dead person as if he were still alive. The man wakes up, but he's lost his memory and mistakes Tu Zhi for his wife. To save his home, Tu Zhi has no choice but to pretend to be the developer's wife and persuade him not to go through with it. He tells him to lay down his butcher's knife and become a Buddha, and suggests making the area an ecological reserve instead. Lou Xi agrees. * Lou Xi married a beautiful veterinary assistant. His wife is sweet and adorable, and loves to act cute, though he can be a little temperamental at times. Lou Xi has tried many times to convince his wife to move with him to the big city, but his wife doesn't want to leave home. So Lou Xi makes the trip back and forth between the two places, and doesn't mind at all. Their life together is sweet enough. Whenever he comes back, his wife even puts work on hold for him and sticks close by his side. Then one time, he came home early with flowers and a gift to surprise his wife. He saw someone go in, then suddenly a snake crawled out of a pile of clothes, and his wife started talking to it. Tu Zhi: "...You must be getting close to shedding. If your skin itches, go rub up against a tree." Snake: "I see. Thank you, Doctor Tu." Tu Zhi, bashfully: "I'm not a doctor yet. I'm still studying." Lou Xi fainted on the spot. When he woke up, his memories had returned, and he realized that his wife hadn't actually been his wife at first. * Finding out that his wife wasn't really his wife wasn't even the most devastating part. Worse, his wife didn't seem to be human, either. After agonizing over it, Lou Xi decided to pretend he didn't know. Then one day, his wife suddenly left home, leaving behind a letter saying that he had realized Lou Xi's memories were back. He was pregnant now, and humans and demons were different. Still, he would be strong and raise the baby by himself, so Lou Xi didn't need to look for him in the future. Lou Xi: … Lou Xi looked at the carrot-themed decor all over their home and decided his wife must be a rabbit spirit. He looked it up online and found out that rabbits can experience false pregnancies, and that they're sexually active all year round. Unfortunately, his wife hadn't gotten to that chapter in his animal encyclopedia yet. Theme: The direction your heart points you toward is the right one.
