I Ran Away After Getting Pregnant by the Emperor

Please check out my ongoing novel, Straight-Laced Childhood Friend Chases Me onto a Dating Show [Novel Blurb] Ming Lai had a dream. In it, he transmigrated to the cultivation world, became a spirit herb demon, and was made the emperor's favored concubine. The emperor was violent and cruel, deceiving him, breaking his heart, and torturing him to death. Now, the first step had already happened: he'd transmigrated, and was on his way to becoming the emperor's attendant (and favored concubine). Thinking of his fate, Ming Lai trembled and prepared to run. Unexpectedly, he fell in love at first sight with a handsome immortal lord in the imperial palace, and accidentally spent the night with him. They were both in love with each other, vowed to spend their lives together, and cultivated together every day. Later, when Ming Lai planned to escape the imperial palace, he looked at the handsome, charming immortal lord and decided to take him along. The immortal lord smiled. "Sure." Ming Lai never managed to escape. Only later did he discover that the immortal lord was none other than the tyrant himself. He was also carrying the tyrant's child. Ming Lai clutched his belly and ran. "That scumbag tricked me into falling for him and ruined my youth. I'm done with this!" Lu Zhengming, emperor of the Thirteen Continents, held an exalted position. He was violent and cruel, and protected all living beings, even though he didn't like them. What he loved most was watching magical creatures die horribly. There was only one spirit herb demon he loved passionately. He pursued him desperately for tens of thousands of years, only to ruin everything through his own stupidity. Everyone in the cultivation world said the demon was a beauty who brought disaster, fought over by the Demon Lord and the emperor, and that he didn't know what was good for him. Only the emperor knew he had brought it all upon himself. Ming Lai's perspective: "I opened my eyes and found myself delivered straight into the tyrant's palace, with my life hanging by a thread. I thought I'd met my dream guy, and he just happened to like me too. We fell in love at first sight and couldn't keep our hands off each other. I even planned to run away with him. But it was all a damn trap. My dream guy was the tyrant! He seduced me into falling for him. Mom, I'm calling the police!" "Little scatterbrain, don't be afraid of me. I'll love you and our baby forever." "Go kneel on your washboard!" "Okay." The emperor's perspective: "That spy from the Demon Realm was so easy to fool. I barely had to act before he fell for it." "Love him? No way. I was just having fun." "I only indulged him because he could help me through my rut." "I don't like the baby at all." "Lu Zhengming, what did you say?" "I said I'm an idiot. I'm sorry, darling, I was wrong.

In the book, the little cannon-fodder grew up alongside the male lead. As an adult, he realized he was in love with him. Unfortunately, the male lead was as straight as a ruler and homophobic. After meeting the female lead, he fell in love at first sight, and the two began a sweet romance. But the little cannon-fodder refused to give up. He pursued the male lead relentlessly and eventually got himself killed. Lin Xishui: "..." This is ridiculous. After learning he was living in a book, Lin Xishui felt both happy and sad. The happy part was that he knew the plot and could avoid danger in advance. The sad part was that he had already fallen for his childhood friend, Xie Yan, and stepped right into the story. To save his life, Lin Xishui had no choice but to stay away from his clingy childhood friend and join a dating show that filmed around the clock. The next day, Xie Yan, an actor's son and a wealthy heir, made a surprise appearance on the dating show. Love's Journey was a dating show that became a sensation before it even aired. As the name suggests, the contestants traveled together, hoping to spark romance and find true love. On the show, Xie Yan, a newly crowned national heartthrob, actor's son, and wealthy heir who'd been cold and ruthless since childhood, fussed over the ordinary contestant, showing him every consideration and sticking close to him at all times. He wouldn't even let anyone else get near him. At first, Netizen 1: The ordinary guy is gorgeous, but is the heir to the Xie Group really so desperate? Netizen 2: It's scripted. Has to be scripted! Netizen 3: Is nobody else shipping them? Cool beauty x big dog energy. I love it! Later, Netizen 1: Xixi, darling, look at me! Don't trust those awful men! Netizen 2: His face is too gorgeous, huff huff. Debut already! Don't make me beg! Netizen 2: You big dummy, please confess already, or Xixi will get snatched away! Netizen 3: I'm obsessed! Am I the only one who thinks they're genuinely sweet? Xie Yan: "I'll never like a man. Xixi and I are just brothers." "Best brothers!" Lin Xishui smiled guiltily. "Right." Later, one of the contestants couldn't hold back and confessed to Lin Xishui. Xie Yan exploded. Contestant: If you don't like him, why are you stopping other people from liking him? Xie Yan shielded Lin Xishui behind him like a wolf guarding its food. "Who said I don't like him?" Lin Xishui: ? Because of his family, Xie Yan had been homophobic since childhood and disliked gay people. But he never expected that Lin Xishui, the person he'd always thought of as his best friend for life, would turn out to be gay. Lin Xishui: "I know you can't accept it, but I can't change who I'm attracted to. I can only..." Xie Yan: "What are you talking about? So what if you're gay? What's wrong with being gay? What year is it? How can anyone still discriminate against gay people?" Lin Xishui: "Then would you be okay with me finding a boyfriend?" Xie Yan: "I would... I absolutely would not!" Lin Xishui lowered his head sadly. Xie Yan: "I wouldn't trust anyone else with you, so I'll be your boyfriend." Lin Xishui: ?
