The Hated Young Heir Awakens

Blurb:

[The Hidden Clan, a people who can bear children in a male body and are destined to become the chosen empress consorts of the Li Kingdom.]

Su Mu was flamboyant, domineering, and arrogant. Relying on his status as a member of the Hidden Clan, he behaved outrageously and never thought about the consequences of his actions. Wherever he went, everyone hated him.

A sudden serious illness made Su Mu realize that he was a minor stand-in character in a danmei harem novel. In the future, he would be married off in his brother's place, become the shared spouse of several princes, and die in childbirth.

The protagonist of the novel was his biological older brother, Su Heng, a universally adored protagonist and shou.

To escape the fate written for him, Su Mu looked at the older brother he had just found: Should I try to win him over, so he won't have the heart to make me marry in his place?

Xie Yun lost his mother when he was young. He was the least favored prince of the Southern Kingdom, and had to be sent to the Li Kingdom as a hostage as soon as he turned ten.

To escape the fate of becoming a hostage, Xie Yun went through untold hardships to get away along the road. But someone found him, and somehow he ended up as the eldest son of the Su family, who had been lost long ago.

One day, an adorable little child with rosy cheeks came up to him, held out his arms, and called in a soft, sweet voice, "Big brother, pick me up~"

His cheeks flushed red. He reached out and picked the child up.

Xie Yun realized that Su Mu, who had been clinging to him lately, was acting strangely. Whenever a prince was with him, Su Mu would go out of his way to avoid him, as though the person beside him weren't a prince but a vicious beast.

But as he was about to return to his own country, he had to repay the Su family's kindness. So, at Old Master Su's request, he had no choice but to introduce Su Mu to the princes.

Then, one night, Su Mu suddenly went into heat, and Xie Yun learned that this so-called introduction was actually to help Su Mu choose a husband.

That night, he let no one else have Su Mu. He became little Su Mu's husband himself.

Su Mu got pregnant, but no one knew who the father was. The emperor issued an edict ordering him to marry several princes as their shared spouse.

Remembering the ending of the original novel, Su Mu went pale with fright.

Su Mu: Run! I have to run! Otherwise, I'll not only die in childbirth, I'll also have to serve four men while pregnant before I die! Who could put up with that?!
