I Raised the Overbearing CEO into My Caged Songbird

When Shen Zhihuan woke up, a gorgeous, pregnant man was lying beside him.

Shen Zhihuan was so startled he stammered,

"Y-y-you... Why are you in my bed?"

"Darling, what's wrong?"

The beauty furrowed his brows, his eyes clouded with a hint of sorrow. In an instant, Shen Zhihuan's heart softened, and for no reason at all, he felt like a terrible person.

Shen Zhihuan discovered that he had transmigrated into the novel Back to the Source, which he'd stayed up late reading. He was now a bit character described in just one line:

The beloved young master of the Shen family had inexplicably decided to become a game designer, and died from staying up too late.

The novel opened with the male lead and his love interest attending this bit character's funeral, which set the stage for their meeting.

Shen Zhihuan had transmigrated into the body of this pampered young master.

But he had arrived six years later.

The young master hadn't died, and he even had a "darling wife."

That "darling wife" was none other than Lu Heng, the sinister and ruthless villain of the novel.

Lu Yan was stunningly beautiful, but as vicious and cruel as a venomous snake. His enemies either ended up ruined or in prison.

He was truly a ruthless man.

"Darling, are you feeling unwell?"

"Y-y-you, stay away from me."

Later, Shen Zhihuan discovered that this ruthless man had not only lost his memory, but had also become a beautiful, delicate househusband who loved cooking at home and fussed over him every day.

Shen Zhihuan was terrified,

afraid that this hibernating snake might wake up at any moment and bite him to death.

Lu Yan's early life had been a hopeless hell. He couldn't see a glimmer of light, and no one came to save him.

So he decided to become the most vicious monster in that hell.

He would make everyone fear him, dread him, and hate him. Then they couldn't hurt him.

Until he met Shen Zhihuan, the beloved young master of the Shen family. Born with a silver spoon in his mouth, treasured and pampered, he sat high above the world. He should have been exactly the kind of person Lu Yan hated most.

Then Lu Yan discovered that this young master could sew his own holey socks, loved snapping up delivery coupons, secretly argued with people online, and had some pretty insightful opinions about the gaming industry.

He seemed quite interesting.

Lu Yan approached him without letting on, never expecting to fall for him so completely. His heart was no longer his own, and he wished he could snatch Shen Zhihuan away and hide him where no one else could see him.

So he pretended to have amnesia, got close to him, clung to him, and tempted him until he fell in love.

Shen Zhihuan could only be his. If that wasn't possible, then Lu Yan would become his.
