After the Male Leads Ran Off with the Child

Bai Aoyue transmigrated into an otome game where men could get pregnant.

Not only could she set the male leads' pregnancy duration, number of babies, and the babies' sexes, the most important thing was that the female lead had to stay by a male lead's side while he gave birth. Otherwise, he would die in childbirth.

The underworld judge, whose legs were disabled, writhed and groaned in pain in his wheelchair. He searched heaven and earth, but couldn't find a trace of her soul.

The empress ruled the land, but the Phoenix Consort had someone else in his heart. Aoyue pursed her lips. She'd started playing the game because she liked the Phoenix Consort's character, but this huge red flag had thoroughly lowered her affection for him. No matter how difficult his labor was, she refused to stay with him through the birth.

A famous opera singer went into labor onstage. Trying to avoid the crowd's prying eyes, he got separated from her in the crush.

The hostage prince from an enemy state clutched the doorframe, afraid to move for a long time. With two births under her belt, she suddenly understood. "Is it time?"

"Mm."

"When did it start?"

"Six hours ago."

"..."

In those six hours, he'd even heated the kang bed for her, chopped firewood, cooked a meal, and made late-night snacks.

There was also a hidden male lead, of whom only a silhouette had been revealed.

After finally completing the main storyline, Bai Aoyue tapped "Return," but a notice popped up saying the feature hadn't been developed.

Bai Aoyue had never even dated in the real world, yet she'd become a mother in an instant. The child from the first storyline was already five years old.

The other four were no pushovers either. It seemed she might not be able to leave this game in one piece.

In that case, she should probably get as far away as possible first.

Reader's guide: 1. The male leads give birth; the men are put through the wringer. 2. The parts involving the empress feature a nontraditional matriarchal setting. Only the heroine's clan allows men to give birth; the rest of the world is set in a conventional ancient era. 3. All male leads are virgins. The Phoenix Consort is already in love with the heroine when he appears; expect melodramatic misunderstandings and a groveling redemption arc.
