Reborn as a Tyrant Carrying the Enemy Crown Prince's Child

Shen Yanzhi transmigrated into a book.

He had become a brainless villain and cannon-fodder tyrant in an old-school angst novel on Green River.

His only purpose was to move the plot along, bringing the male protagonist and his love interest together!

And despite all the angst in the book, nobody else suffered. The only one who got tortured was him, the cannon fodder.

According to the original plot, the male lead, a crown prince from an enemy kingdom, would stab him seventy-seven times, then chop off his head and hang it on the city wall to bake in the sun for seven days and nights.

Now, the male lead who would come for his head in a year was locked in the imperial prison, enduring inhuman torture.

Shen Yanzhi thought he had to do something to save himself.

So...

The ministers watched as their emperor got up early every day, went into the imperial kitchen, and personally made all sorts of delicious dishes.

Then he eagerly carried them to the prison and fed them by hand to the nastiest, most hardheaded crown prince from an enemy kingdom.

At bedtime, he stopped flipping through the cards of the three thousand beauties in his harem.

Instead, he brought a book of fairy tales he'd written himself to the prison and dramatically told the crown prince stories about princes and princesses.

He also started reviewing memorials to the throne diligently,

and earnestly took up the duties of an emperor who cared about the affairs of the realm.

People said the emperor had gone crazy, gone stupid...

Only Shen Yanzhi knew how hard he was working to stay alive!!

[Bonus Scene]

Shen Yanzhi: "What do you want to eat today? Just tell me. My cooking is amazing now!"

The enemy kingdom's crown prince, Gu Xingyuan, smiled wickedly. "You smell delicious today. I want to eat you."

Shen Yanzhi: "...I can't even get the curse word out in time."

Later, Shen Yanzhi stared in shock at his bulging belly and grabbed the enemy kingdom's crown prince by the throat. "I told you stories about princes and princesses. They were for you to use to woo a princess, not to seduce me!"

The Crown Prince: "Your Highness, Princess, you're so adorable when you're angry!!"

Shen Yanzhi: "..."
