After Revenge, I Got Pregnant with My Late Husband’s Nephew’s Child

[I’m not happy with how this story turned out, and I’m having trouble continuing. If I have the time and inspiration in the future, I’ll revise it.]

Story blurb:

Wen Shu transmigrates into a book as a fake young master. The moment he arrives, he’s expected to marry a dead man in place of the real young master, who has just returned home.

The original Wen Shu died of depression three years into the marriage, unable to endure the abuse and the scandals that dogged him.

Wen Shu: Great, a catastrophic start.

Wen Shu is no pushover for people to bully.

You want me to marry a dead man in your place? Then I’ll steal the man you love. He sent the real young master away, went up to the top floor of a hotel, and stayed there all night.

When the real young master came looking for him, Wen Shu smiled at him through a crack in the door, looking utterly pleased with himself.

The real young master was going to appear on a variety show with the man he loved, Bai Yucheng. Using their wild night together as leverage, Wen Shu made Bai Yucheng get him onto the show, too.

Three’s a crowd, and a battlefield of jealousy is sure to follow.

On the very first night of filming, Bai Yucheng cornered Wen Shu in a bathroom without cameras. His hand was around Wen Shu’s neck, his eyes full of a feral hunger, as if he wanted to devour him.

Wen Shu had lured Bai Yucheng into the bathroom. He pretended to cower, and Bai Yucheng switched off his microphone.

Outside the bathroom door, the real young master stood with his head lowered, eyes burning with crazed jealousy and hatred.

But halfway through filming, Wen Shu started throwing up violently. After filming wrapped, he went home and took a test. Two lines on the pregnancy test.

Shit, he’d forgotten this was a story where men could marry and have children. They’d only spent one night together, and he could still get pregnant?!

And Bai Yucheng was the nephew of his dead "husband."

Three months later, after the show ended, Bai Yucheng tore up the contract for their ghost marriage in front of Wen Shu, then turned around to fetch the blue diamond ring he’d had custom-made.

Wen Shu accepted the ring, then ran off in a flash.

He’d just escaped the Bai family. Who would want to marry back into that family?!

He was going back to the countryside to enjoy life with his birth parents and live a carefree, peaceful life in the country!

Coming soon: "How Can I Not Be the Male Lead in a Story with Two Male Leads?" Please add it to your collection.

Coming-soon blurb: Xiao Mo transmigrates. The System says: Your mission is to win the heroine’s heart, defeat the senior disciple, and become the male lead.

System: First mini-mission: Go take a hit for the heroine while she’s fighting. Make her fall for you by showing her how touched she is.

Terrified of death and pain, Xiao Mo timidly makes his way to the battlefield, only to witness the heroine die at the hands of the villain.

System: !!!

Xiao Mo: ???

After Xiao Mo squats on the ground and waits for the System to crash for the ten-thousandth time.

Xiao Mo: "How about I try winning over the male lead instead? The heroine’s man is the male lead, and the male lead’s man is also the male lead, right? How can I not be the male lead in a story with two male leads?"

System: ???

But the senior disciple is a born talent at the emotionless path!

Xiao Mo: "I’ll use the heroine’s methods. Even if he’s on the emotionless path, I’ll get him into the Dual Cultivation Sect!"

Today, Xiao Mo brings a bunch of flowers to the senior disciple. He trips over his own feet and falls to the ground. "Oops, I fell. I need a hug to get back up."

When he looks up, all he can see is the hem of the senior disciple’s robe as he walks away coldly.

The next day, Xiao Mo spends a fortune on a little spirit tiger and holds it up in front of the senior disciple. "Isn’t this kitty cute? Meow~"

The little spirit tiger and Xiao Mo are both swatted to the ground by the senior disciple’s mount, Black Owl, and roll over eight times.

The man, the beast, and the System sit up, covered in dust. The senior disciple has already flown off on Black Owl.

Xiao Mo: "So you won’t take the easy way? Fine, I’ll give you something stronger!"

He stuffs the pills he bought from the Dual Cultivation Sect into his clothes and charges into the senior disciple’s cave. "Senior Brother, I brought you a present!"

Leng Qing looks at the Affection Pill in his palm and says coldly, "Little Junior Brother, I know what this pill is."

As he speaks, the pill crumbles to ash in his hand.

After failure has worn him down to despair, Xiao Mo asks the System, "What happens if I can’t become the male lead?"

System: "Your cultivation will stagnate until your soul is destroyed."

Xiao Mo: "...I can live for at least five hundred years at the Golden Core stage! Why am I wasting time on this? Come on, let’s travel the world on our flying swords!"

Leng Qing hits a bottleneck in his cultivation. When he emerges from seclusion, he no longer sees the person who used to cling to him all day. He then hears that his little junior brother is touring the cultivation world with the head of the Dual Cultivation Sect. Leng Qing spits up a mouthful of black blood and falls into demonic cultivation.
