After I Came Back, the Possessive Bigwigs Fought Over Me

Mu Chen ends up in the interstellar era and is ordered to hurt five children. After a moment of silence, pressured into it, Mu Chen decides to give in and resolutely keep up appearances while defying orders. He pretends to bully the children in public, but secretly raises them to be plump and healthy, becoming their salvation.

Just as he's about to take the children away, he makes one mistake and they see his "cruel" act.

"You were lying to us the whole time? Why?"

Mu Chen's mouth runs ahead of him: "It was fun."

The children: ...Fine.

After returning...

Earth joins the interstellar civilization, but its technology is backward and its status low. To develop, it sends talented people to study in space. Mu Chen goes along with the crowd, only to look up and find wanted posters offering full capture, issued by everyone from the emperor to the general to the leading researchers...

His classmates feel very sorry for him and advise him to turn himself in.

Mu Chen thinks the people of the interstellar era must be nuts, until he meets the famously handsome and powerful emperor, who is cold, distant, and adored throughout the stars.

The emperor's features look strangely familiar. Before Mu Chen can think much about it, the emperor says the wanted poster was a misunderstanding. Mu Chen gives him a V sign, failing to notice the dark glint in the emperor's eyes.

Mu Chen takes an acting class for the credits, with lessons held inside holographic scripts.

He looks at his script: a melodramatic harem story. He has to play a cannon-fodder villain who spends every day fawning over the protagonist gong, only to be scorned and killed off in a single episode.

Mu Chen says that's no problem, it'll be easy, until he meets one of the story's most powerful figures, the protagonist gong's adoptive father.

The important NPC has a face similar to the interstellar emperor's. Unlike the real emperor's coldness, he lifts his head and stares at Mu Chen with golden eyes.

"Why did you betray me?"

"?"

"You did it because it was fun, didn't you?"

"??"

The important figure suddenly laughs. "That's all right. I'll play along with you!"

Mu Chen: "???"

People of the interstellar era already look down on Earthlings, and seeing this, they all prepare to laugh at Mu Chen. But as they keep waiting, they stop laughing.

The important figures, who should be chasing after the protagonist in the script, all flock around Mu Chen. What's more, several NPCs look remarkably like famous figures in the interstellar world!

What is going on? Something must be wrong!

And things get even stranger when those important figures in real life all step forward.

The reclusive researcher, devoted to his studies and the future hope of the scientific community, is also its most handsome star and a renowned scientific genius. He declares: "Mu Chen is mine. Even if he's dead, he's still mine. Anyone who tries to take him from me gets poisoned!"

The heir to an old noble family of a major nation, born at the top of the world and with more titles than anyone could list, declares: "Mu Chen is mine. Any questions? Check my titles before you speak."

The most accomplished general in history, a walking ultimate weapon, declares: "Mu Chen is mine. Any bastard who dares object is getting shot!"

The golden federation republic's most beautiful boy, a fabulously rich second-generation heir with eight hundred billion fans, declares: "Mu Chen is mine. I learned all those skills for him. He'll definitely like me. We're perfect together, the perfect match!"

Harem magnet, love rivals, groveling redemption arc. The CP is the emperor.
