Chi Yanzhi stared gloomily into the bronze mirror at his own breathtakingly beautiful face. Half an hour later, he finally accepted what had happened: he had transmigrated into a book!
And he wasn't the protagonist. He seemed to be some obscure male supporting character with the same name as him, and, in parentheses, not a villain.
But Chi Yanzhi had never read this book. With only three hazy names in his memories, he had no idea how the plot would unfold.
Several days later, Chi Yanzhi finally managed to figure out his identity by asking around indirectly.
His mother was the emperor's elder sister, a princess royal, and his father was the Marquis of Xuannan, who wielded great power. He had an older brother who would inherit the title and a younger sister renowned for her talent.
Chi Yanzhi immediately accepted his new identity with great pleasure and decided to be a happy, lazy fish.
But he hadn't even been a happy, lazy fish for a few days when an imperial edict came crashing down. The emperor had arranged a marriage for him.
Chi Yanzhi stared at the name on the edict, with only one thought: Was it too late to run away?
·
Chi Yanzhi couldn't make sense of it. The logic was all wrong. Why would the second son of the Marquis of Xuannan need a political marriage? What was the original author thinking?
His betrothed was Qi Yuwen.
The biggest villain in the book. He remembered the name because the character had way too many golden fingers!
His grandfather was a Grand Tutor, his maternal relative was the chief grand secretary of the imperial cabinet, he became General Xuanwei at sixteen and General Yunhui at twenty-five...
In short, he was a ruthless man who slaughtered people on the battlefield and was devious and treacherous!
How could he marry him?
Chi Yanzhi: ...
Chi Yanzhi: Wait, is this a danmei novel?
Unwilling to accept his fate, Chi Yanzhi knew he couldn't defy the imperial edict, so he decided to throw himself a bachelor party before the wedding, partying with the young dandies of the capital.
But he got a little too carried away.
On his wedding day, Chi Yanzhi looked at his new husband, feeling a little guilty.
Well, what are the odds...
Question: What do you do when you realize on your wedding day that the young male companion you hired for your bachelor party is your new husband?
Answer: Thanks for asking. There's no saving you. Bury him in the usual place.
Thinking of Qi Yuwen's cruel reputation, Chi Yanzhi wanted to cry. He silently repeated to himself dozens of times: Don't recognize me, don't recognize me!
Three months later, Chi Yanzhi stared, dumbfounded, at his slightly rounded belly.
What the heck! Is this a childbearing novel, too?!
And another thing...
Why was the supposedly cold-blooded villain nothing like he was described in the book?
Qi Yuwen was devilishly handsome, considerate, and gentle. Only in bed did he have a constant stream of dirty talk.
Chi Yanzhi rubbed his sore waist and gazed at the sky. Lao Qi, did your character setting collapse?
Theme: Persevere through adversity, strive with all your might, and move toward the future.
