Song Qinggui transmigrated into a book, becoming a cannon-fodder supporting male character with the same name in a melodramatic danmei novel about male pregnancy.
The cannon-fodder Song Qinggui was a little beggar in a time of chaos. The protagonist, the emperor, had him taken away to serve as his double because he looked like him.
While Song Qinggui was busy fighting for power and the throne, the protagonists were busy flirting. The protagonist also saw him as an imaginary rival in love. After the two made up, the protagonist attacked and killed him to win the protagonist's favor.
Song Qinggui: T-T This is so insulting. I'm done!
After transmigrating into the book, he arrived at the moment he was being sent into the palace, where he ran into another unfortunate character from the novel, the great villain Yu Jiuxiao.
Yu Jiuxiao was the protagonist's greatest enemy. As an ultimate villain, he had a lofty ambition: to unify the realm and restore his kingdom. His goal was also quite practical: to compete with the protagonist for the protagonist's affections. In the end, he lost the contest, failed to restore his kingdom, and died in battle.
After his death, the protagonist even wept for him, built him a tomb, and posthumously bestowed on him the title Duke of Loyalty.
When Song Qinggui entered the palace, Yu Jiuxiao was at the peak of his power. Seeing the protagonist's murderous glare coming his way, Song Qinggui's knees gave out, and he clung to Yu Jiuxiao's leg.
Yu Jiuxiao: Get lost.
Song Qinggui whispered: I know a secret technique that can help you unify the realm!
Yu Jiuxiao: ???
Later, a divine fortune-teller appeared in the realm. Everyone said that whoever won his favor would win the realm, and even the protagonists turned against each other over him.
After Yu Jiuxiao took him away, Song Qinggui planned to use his knowledge of the plot to make some money and then run off. But somehow, as he was making his escape, his belly began to swell.
Song Qinggui: This must be an illusion. I'll go back and sleep, and then it'll all disappear.
When he woke up, Yu Jiuxiao was sitting by the bed. The villain, who cared only about his great cause, had a dark expression, as if he were about to kill someone.
Song Qinggui cowered in the corner of the bed, shielding his belly.
Yu Jiuxiao stroked his swollen stomach, his face darkening. "You stole my child and still think you can run?"
Song Qinggui hurriedly pushed his hand away and stammered, "It's not your child!"
Just then, his belly moved.
Song Qinggui: "!!!"
Yu Jiuxiao's expression froze. "What is that?"
As a powerful, disciplined, and proper villain, Yu Jiuxiao had always considered romantic attachments a weakness. Then he fell head over heels for Song Qinggui and never got back up.
