I'm Pregnant with the Villain's Paper-Doll Baby

[Come check out Doggo's new upcoming novel: The Maid of the Disgraced Crown Prince]

He Shuyu discovers she's inside an old-fashioned redemption novel, as the sunny heroine destined to save the tragic but powerful male lead.

But her vicious stepsister, the villainess, has already bound herself to a comeback System and stolen the male lead away.

He Shuyu: “Well then... I wish you two a lifetime of happiness.”

He Shuyu doesn't want to cause trouble for no reason. She just wants to lie flat and live her own life in peace.

Not long afterward, she gets married in a flash.

They marry because she's pregnant, and her husband is her online dating partner.

A real online romance.

The drawback is that he's a monster.

He came from a xianxia game after going through countless hardships to meet her in person.

The bonus is that he's obedient and considerate.

He doesn't have a job, so He Shuyu keeps him at home as a househusband.

He never leaves the house, stays out of trouble, and faithfully fulfills his duties as a husband.

While the couple are shut away at home, blissfully in love, trouble quietly brews around them.

The male lead, who wants to win Shuyu back, hides away trembling. The adoptive mother who switched the babies confesses of her own accord. Even the two-pound comeback System falls out of her stepsister. The stepsister lies sick in bed, muttering, “I'm sorry. I didn't mean to steal He Shuyu's luck. I'll give it all back to her, every bit!”

“Please, let me go!”

That night, He Shuyu tells her husband about the strange events. The young man covers his mouth in shock. “Ah, everyone out there is so bad!”

He embraces He Shuyu affectionately. “I'm not like them. All I do is worry about you, Big Sis.”

Until one day, He Shuyu sees her husband with her own eyes, no longer gentle and easygoing. His eyes red and claws bared, he grips the original male lead by the throat with ruthless arrogance. “This is your last warning. Stay away from her.”

He Shuyu: “Obedient, considerate, content to live a quiet life?”

A paper-character monster, brimming with martial virtue and dripping with tea, x a diligent, earnest little ray of sunshine~

Note:

1. A purely modern story with no game content, just a paper character who came to life.

2. If it's not your cup of tea, please don't be mean. There are countless Jinjiang stories, and there's bound to be one you like. *Bows~*

Blurb:

In this top-tier “chase-your-wife-to-the-crematorium” novel, the male lead, Chu Yan, is a ruthless and demented villain.

He rises from being a disgraced crown prince, killing his brother and father before ascending to the throne.

Half of his face is devastatingly handsome, while the other half is concealed beneath a green jade mask. They say that side of his face was ruined in a great fire.

Twisted and cruel, he turns the palace into a sea of blood, then forcibly takes the female lead into the palace. She had abandoned him years ago to marry someone else, and now he begins a tortured romance of seizing her by force.

While Ruan Yi is engrossed in following the novel, she transmigrates into it as a lowly palace maid who sweeps and cleans at the imperial retreat.

She's a throwaway character who doesn't even count as an extra. Her only connection to the main plot is that the male lead, Chu Yan, is being held prisoner at the imperial retreat.

At that moment, a raging fire engulfs the retreat, and countless palace servants flee in panic.

Kindhearted Ruan Yi casually rescues a bloodied boy and carries him to safety. She never expected the boy to be the disgraced crown prince, Chu Yan, or that the fire was an assassination plot targeting him.

The two of them drift through the streets, hiding from place to place. They share moldy steamed buns, suffer beatings at the hands of cruel servants, hold each other for warmth in a ruined temple, and cheer with delight when they earn a few coins.

Ruan Yi helps the boy rally his old followers, and at last they return to the imperial city.

From a distance, she watches the noblewoman heroine come to welcome him. Her heart for shipping the couple lights up again. She takes the boy's hand. “Go back to her. I should go home too.”

“Okay.” Chu Yan looks at her in a daze, then smiles.

At that moment, she doesn't notice the poison of frenzied possessiveness filling the boy's eyes.

When she wakes again, Ruan Yi finds that she can't move her limbs. The boy is holding her on the dragon throne.

The nobles and officials below have their hands bound and kneel in a vast crowd. Among them is the heroine, dressed in plain white.

The boy smiles, both deranged and fragile. He leans close to her ear and says hoarsely, “How about I give you a grand farewell gift? I'll pave the road home for you with the corpses of the people at my feet.”

“A-Yi?”
