I Had a Baby After Becoming a Cannon-Fodder Stand-In

Chu Yu read a melodramatic novel and was furious on behalf of the cannon-fodder substitute, whose name was similar to his own. The scummy top tortured him relentlessly, and in the end, the substitute was left disabled in a car accident while saving the very man who abused him. But that very day, Chu Yu transmigrated into the substitute's body, and accidentally slept with the scummy top's adoptive father, a sickly man supposedly suffering from a hidden ailment. The next day, Chu Yu couldn't help questioning his life: What kind of hidden ailment is this supposed to be? Forget it. Maybe he's shooting blanks, Chu Yu thought. Before long, something even more baffling happened. He was pregnant. Chu Yu: ??? Wait, author, could you at least make this make sense? Is his hidden ailment that he can only get men pregnant?

Shi Zheng, scummy top's dad: ...guilty.jpg Shi Xuze thought Chu Yu was just a substitute he looked down on, someone he could summon and dismiss whenever he pleased. He never expected Chu Yu to be the one to break up with him. And after dumping him, Chu Yu went from plain and dowdy to breathtakingly gorgeous, debuted as a genius designer, and even became his... stepfather? Chu Yu: Don't call me Dad. I don't have a good-for-nothing son like you! Shi Zheng: Whatever you say, darling. Shi Xuze: ... Reading Notes: 1.
