After Becoming the Villain, I Was Forced to Marry the Male Lead

Sorry, everyone. This story hasn't been going well, and I want to do a major rewrite. I'll try to finish revising it within this month. I'm truly sorry for disrupting your reading.

Xu Jiahe transmigrates into the body of a minor villain with the same name in a power-fantasy novel.

After failing to force himself on the male lead, the original owner was kicked out of his home and earned the achievement of living on the streets and fighting stray dogs for food.

And right now, Xu Jiahe is about to make a move on the male lead.

Xu Jiahe's internal options:

A. Go through with it. The male lead will beat him up in retaliation.

B. Stop, get down on his knees, and beg for forgiveness.

C. Choose A.

Thinking quickly, Xu Jiahe pulled the covers over them both and confidently said, "Look, my boxers glow in the dark."

[Divider]

In Qin Zheng's eyes, Xu Jiahe is a beautiful waste of space: lazy, useless, and always asking for money. The Qin family only keeps him around to repay a debt of gratitude.

Now, seeing his glow-in-the-dark boxers, Qin Zheng can only conclude that he might be an idiot. He'd overestimated him before.

To protect himself, Xu Jiahe starts working hard again, gets his career back on track, and plans to leave the Qin family and support himself once he's saved enough money.

But after the boxer incident, the story starts taking a strange turn. The whole world thinks he and Qin Zheng are involved, and that Xu Jiahe is the one living off Qin Zheng.

Hah. The wise don't fall in love. Getting involved with a man will only slow down making money.

But Qin Zheng slaps a marriage agreement in his face and says domineeringly, "Marry me. I'll support you for the rest of your life." Then he adds, "If you refuse, I'll tell everyone you love collecting glow-in-the-dark boxers."

Xu Jiahe slams the table: He's been threatened, and the threat worked!

P.S. 1v1, both are sexually inexperienced.

The leads are not related by blood, nor are they legally related.

Flirtatious but cowardly seme who doesn't realize he's flirting (Xu Jiahe) x cool and sweet, baby-faced uke (Qin Zheng)

There is a small amount of showbiz content. The author doesn't follow celebrities or participate in fandom, and there are no real-life inspirations, so please don't read real people into it.

Seme-focused, and the leads dote on each other.

Title and blurb:

After Awakening, My Rival Got Pregnant with My Child

After Zhao Boning gets injured and falls unconscious from fighting with his romantic rival, he suddenly realizes he's a character in a harem novel.

Zhong Yi, the rival he fought, is also his romantic rival. Just like Zhao Boning, he's nothing but a lovesick dog chasing after the novel's beloved uke. When the true male lead appears, the two of them will serve only as foils to the protagonists' true love. They'll even have their careers and reputations ruined as they compete with the male lead for the uke.

Zhao Boning has always been proud and aloof. How could he put up with such humiliation? He'd rather stop being a lovesick dog.

On a dating reality show, he works hard to maintain his persona, while privately staying as far away from the protagonist uke as possible.

At a bar, he's singing his heart out when his rival, Zhong Yi, slips into his arms with red-rimmed eyes and murmurs, "Save me."

Cold water and medicine do nothing. Zhong Yi knocks him onto the bed, and that night, they both lose their virginity.

The next morning, Zhong Yi gives him a cold glance, thanks him for helping, and tells him to pretend he was bitten by a dog. From now on, they can go back to being rivals.

If Zhao Boning remembers correctly, he's the one who's supposed to be the dog.

The dating show continues, but Zhao Boning's thoughts are no longer on the protagonist uke.

Lately, Zhong Yi keeps getting sleepy, so Zhao Boning negotiates with the production team to give him less screen time and let him catch up on sleep.

Zhong Yi's become picky about food, so Zhao Boning takes him around to try all kinds of delicious dishes.

Zhong Yi starts throwing up a lot, so Zhao Boning quickly improves his diet.

Zhao Boning begins to realize he's fallen for Zhong Yi, who is mature and capable but occasionally has a bit of a temper. But after Zhong Yi learns he's pregnant, he runs away with the baby.

At the airport, Zhao Boning grabs Zhong Yi by the wrist, his tone unusually forceful and suggestive. "Did you think I watched you and stuck to you every day without realizing you were pregnant? This isn't one of those stories where you run off pregnant and I have to win you back after a painful separation. It's a sweet romance."
