Mother, I’m Your Son Too

A genius novelist, Jin Linyuan, became an overnight sensation with a no-romance power fantasy featuring a male lead.

The villainous punching bag in her story, often face-slapped by the hero, was Chang Xianyu.

The most common reader comment was: "When is that dog Chang going to die already?"

For the sake of popularity, Jin Linyuan kept making the story longer, Chang Xianyu more despicable, and his health bar thicker.

She stayed up late, typing away as she tortured Chang Xianyu with words.

Then a man crawled out of her computer: golden eyes, black hair, and a blood-red phoenix flower birthmark at the corner of his eye.

Wasn't this Chang Xianyu?

He gripped Jin Linyuan by the throat in hatred and dragged her into the otherworld she'd created. His voice rang with resentment and fury.

"Jin Linyuan, why did you do this to me?"

It turned out he resented the fate she'd given him, and had come as a vengeful ghost to claim her life.

When she awoke from unconsciousness, the ghost was thankfully nowhere nearby.

Jin Linyuan was also certain he'd dragged her into the book she'd written.

The fiend had posted wanted posters for her everywhere, so she hurried to cling to the male lead for protection.

Relying on her knowledge of the plot, she revealed the male lead's origins and pretended to be the mother who had never existed.

She thought she could settle down and escape Chang Xianyu's pursuit.

But the male lead was still in the beginner's village, utterly powerless against Chang Xianyu, who was already max level. He beat him up every day.

It's fine. The male lead will grow stronger later.

Jin Linyuan carefully taught him and guided his growth.

But the health bar she'd given Chang Xianyu was already approaching infinity. The male lead couldn't kill him at all.

Bound by an Immortal-Binding Rope, Jin Linyuan thought she was about to lose her head. Instead, Chang Xianyu wiped the blood from her face.

"Mother, I'm your son too."

"You gave birth to me, so why do you only have eyes for him? Can't you look at me too?"

As Jin Linyuan stared in shock, the male lead rose from the ground, his face full of hatred.

"In your dreams, Mother. You can only belong to me."
