Becoming Daddy to the Villain's Little Brat

[Original title: My Aloof Master Became the Villain's Toddler's Stepfather]

Pei Yuexue is an aloof master in a cultivation world, dressed in white and wielding a sword that cleaves the clouds. One moment, he's in the middle of a battle between immortals and demons. The next, he's transmigrated...

He's become a wicked cannon-fodder character, a wealthy family's stepfather, with a husband and a stepson he got for free.

His domineering CEO husband warns him: "You're just a pretty face. I hope you'll behave yourself and know your place."

Netizens diss him: "A stupid but gorgeous gold-digger, with nothing in his head!"

Master: "Got it. Gorgeous."

As an outdated idol ranked among the industry's bottom-tier nobodies, the master is invited to bring a child to the variety show Set Up a Stall, Brothers. The master takes one look and thinks: A variety show means people get to watch us?

Master: "I have never stooped to such a lowly undertaking."

Production team: "We'll pay you. A lot."

Master: "Got it. Money!"

Gorgeous, rich, and with her husband away from home. Could life get any more perfect?

The only surprise is that his stepson is the young version of an ultimate villainous mastermind, reborn from the future.

As a child, Xiao Aotian was tormented by his wicked stepfather until he became twisted and eventually turned evil. Now reborn, he plans to kill Pei Yuexue, the demon, while he's still a child.

But his stepfather seems to have changed.

When the wind picks up, he wraps him in a warm, soft blanket. He wants to find him the best teachers. He thinks about what's best for him and talks with him about his dreams and future.

Who is this daddy of mine? He's putting on an act. It must all be a disguise!

Later, he discovers that Pei Yuexue is also kind to other handsome boys.

Pei Yuexue keeps taking in one person after another: a future top-tier star producer who is being bullied, a future genius singer who will burst onto the scene, and a future superstar living in poverty... Each one acts like a docile kitten around Pei Yuexue. But Xiao Aotian knows that in their own storylines, they're all villainous masterminds who turn evil. You crafty liars!

Xiao Aotian panics. No, he has to be the one to protect his daddy!

At last, the domineering rich CEO returns home:

His child has become the master's little shadow, calling him "Daddy" over and over. There's no room for him in this family anymore.

Pei Yuexue: "Divorce. Pay up."

Xiao Aotian: "I'm staying with Daddy."

And that's not to mention the pack of hungry wolves watching them covetously.

In a single night, his child and wife have both run off?

Xiao Yingchen struggles to restrain the urge to embrace the man before him. His voice trembles slightly as he says, "Master."

Pei Yuexue looks at him, and the CEO's face overlaps with that of his disciple, who had fallen into the demonic path.

Pei Yuexue: "You... wicked disciple."

Xiao Yingchen drops to his knees before him. "Master, I'm back."

Xiao Yingchen: "Bet you didn't see this coming: I'm the master's original villainous disciple"; "This family won't fall apart while I'm here"; "The master just has a special constitution that attracts villains, but the one he loves most is me (VERY LOUD)."

P.S. Xiao Aotian is not the CEO's biological child.

Coming soon: Please add my upcoming novel, No Playing with the Background Character at the Aristocratic Academy, to your reading list!

[A Pretty, Antisocial Guy Raises His Pixel-Kid at an Aristocratic Boys' School]

Chen Yi is a pretty, antisocial young man who recently graduated.

His only hobby is raising a kid in an RPG dating game called Aristocratic Boys' School.

Because he's antisocial, even in games Chen Yi is used to playing all kinds of background characters, including but not limited to: a school janitor who locks the storeroom at night, a little security guard who shouts, "Stop fighting, you two!" when students get into a brawl, and a timid dorm supervisor who passes the protagonist's dorm every day...

Although the roles are all background characters, he's taken great care of his pixel-kids.

The bullying protagonist gong gets locked in the storeroom for an entire night, and Chen Yi shows up to save the protagonist shou.

Because he quietly encourages them to stop fighting, his classmates become friendlier.

Even the dormitory conditions improve dramatically thanks to Chen Yi's hard work...

The pretty, antisocial guy is very pleased with himself.

But soon he discovers that after waking up from a nap, he's ended up inside Aristocratic Boys' School, only it's the adult-rated version!

His pixel-kids are looking at him more and more strangely...

The college boys at the aristocratic academy realize that the background character they've always ignored looks so delicious.

No matter where the background character goes, he's followed everywhere by their invading, heated gazes.

One day, the college boys discover the labels he's given them:

Baby 1

Baby 2

Baby 3

The boys go crazy and pin him down behind a rock garden at school, demanding:

"Tell us. Which of us is your baby?"

Chen Yi, eyes brimming with tears: "Don't come any closer! I'm just a slice-of-life raising-game player. I don't want a romance route!"

In the end, on the forum of the school next door:

[Names redacted. The aristocratic academy had a fight last night. I heard it was over a background character. Do you know anything about it?]

[How bad was the fight?]

[Please give us all the details!!]

Chen Yi rubs his aching waist and flips the table. "You bunch of bastards! I said no playing with the background character at the aristocratic academy!"
