After Saving the Male Lead Three Times, I Realized I Saved the Wrong Person

[Main story complete!] Wen Lian receives a mission: he has to enter a book, find the male lead, who was once a beggar, and give him sunlike warmth during his childhood, adolescence, and young adulthood, raising him into an upstanding young man before quietly faking his own death. As soon as Wen Lian enters the book, he looks down and sees a pitiful little beggar clinging to his leg in the snow, refusing to let go. Well, would you look at that. He came right to me. Wen Lian scoops the little brat up and says earnestly, “From now on, I’m your dad. I’ll raise you.” The little brat, who begs in public but steals money in private: ...? Are you okay? * For the warmth of his childhood, Wen Lian takes him to his original body’s home, where he keeps him by the brazier and feeds him delicious food. Just as the boy lets down his guard and becomes sweet and clingy, Wen Lian dies with a satisfied grin. For the warmth of his adolescence, Wen Lian becomes his page and helps him study. He fans him when he’s hot and warms his bed when he’s cold. Just as the boy grows more cheerful and grateful to him, Wen Lian dies with a satisfied grin again. For the warmth of his young adulthood, Wen Lian becomes a Grand Tutor. The little brat from back then has transformed into the Crown Prince, suffering under a barrage of impeachments from the officials. Wen Lian does everything he can to win loyal ministers over to his side. With the mission complete, he’s just about to die with a satisfied grin again “Where are you going?” Cui Yan gives him a knowing smile, his knuckles pale as he grips Wen Lian’s wrist tight. “Uh, just going for a walk,” Wen Lian answers. Cui Yan’s smile deepens, desire surging in his eyes. “How about a walk to my bed?” Wen Lian: ? Wait, what?! His attempt to fake his death has failed, and the son he raised has pinned him down and slept with him. If he doesn’t run now, the story won’t make any sense. Kept on a tight leash and watched closely by Cui Yan, Wen Lian can only rack his brains for a new way to die, until one day, at the banquet celebrating the new top scorer’s arrival in the capital, he accidentally sees bold, black characters above the top scorer’s head: [I’m the male lead] Then who is Cui Yan?? Wen Lian turns to look at Cui Yan, his beloved son and upstanding young man. Cui Yan smiles with noble grace and gazes at him tenderly. At some point, a new line has appeared above his head: [Mad, vicious villain Crown Prince] “Grand Tutor, if you keep looking at the new top scorer, I’ll get jealous.” His voice turns chilly. “You’re only allowed to look at me.” Wen Lian: ?? Holy crap, I saved the wrong kid! Is there still time to switch to the right one?! A little plug for my upcoming novel, which you can find in my author’s column: Title: The Rabbit Fakes a Pregnancy and Gets Caught with a Baby One-line pitch: If you can’t give birth, you’re done for. Blurb: Shen Er is most proud of being an ancient evil creature. His greatest humiliation is having been sealed away for three lifetimes by a human named Gu Mingzhou. Calling them mortal enemies would be an understatement! Luckily, he gets a chance to break through the seal once every hundred years. Another century passes, and the seal weakens. This time, Shen Er decides to keep a low profile and disguise himself as a rabbit. But the moment he breaks through the seal, Shen Er is caught. He looks up and almost swears out loud. Gu Mingzhou, you damn pest! Can’t you leave me alone? The hand seems extremely curious, kneading and playing with the rabbit’s fluffy body in every possible way. Before long, Shen Er is burning up, his eyes grow hazy, and his lower belly starts to slowly swell. Just before he passes out, he remembers a saying his great-grandma left behind: Once a rabbit is touched by a human, it gets pregnant! * Gu Mingzhou finishes petting the rabbit and leaves. The rabbit, after being petted, cries. The good news is, Gu Mingzhou didn’t recognize him. The bad news is, he’s pregnant. With Gu Mingzhou’s child! The rabbit swears a bitter oath: he’ll make Gu Mingzhou pay! * Gu Mingzhou is a genius from an immortal sect, sent to subdue an ancient evil creature. Who could have guessed that the moment he found the cave where the creature was hiding, someone would grab him by the throat? The other person’s eyes are bloodshot. He says each word through clenched teeth: “You bastard! I’m pregnant with your child!” Gu Mingzhou takes a closer look. Sure enough, the other man’s belly is swollen. Like he’s gotten fat. Gu Mingzhou: ? A man can give birth? You’re trying to scam me, aren’t you? Then I’ll make your fake pregnancy real. Without changing expression, he grips Shen Er by the waist and pins him down in the cave, where no sunlight can reach. Only when the little rabbit’s voice has gone hoarse from crying and his legs have turned weak does Gu Mingzhou stroke the back of his neck, smiling without warmth. “Ten months from now, if you haven’t given birth, you’re done for.” Ten months later, Gu Mingzhou stares at the babbling little brat and the rabbit sound asleep on the couch, lost in thought. So... What do I do now that the baby’s been born? #Probably just a little game of pretend# Airheaded beauty villain bottom x scheming, horny righteous-path top Content warning: Includes childbirth. The bottom is a complete idiot. If you don’t like him, you can insult me instead, but don’t insult him. He’s still young and doesn’t know any better ().
