Suspicious beauty gong x loyal, stoic shou As the master of Tinghe Manor, Yin Wujing commanded countless shadow guards, each with a specific duty, all devoted to protecting the manor. They were the sharp blades in Yin Wujing’s hands. What he hated most was for a blade with no feelings or desires to develop an inappropriate attachment. It had happened once, ten years ago. And ten years later, it happened again. Yin Wujing stared at the physician, his face icy. Impatiently, he asked, “What did you say?” The physician stammered, “Master, the shadow guard is four months pregnant.” Well, this time, ten years later, was even harder to deal with than the last. A few notes: 1. This is actually a story about healing and redemption. 2. I’m doing my best to write what I like. 3. I hope you enjoy it. Next story: Doting on My Wife with a Crematorium Plot. Add it to your reading list if you’re interested. Xie Wen transmigrates and is bound to a System. To return to the real world, he must actively complete missions while staying in character. If he deviates from the character, the System will erase him. World One: Emotionally detached tycoon x humble, unknown celebrity Everyone in business knows Xie Wen goes through people like clothes; no one by his side ever stays for long. Song Yu thinks so too. The moment he finds out he’s pregnant, he’s sure it’s all over. When the truth comes out, Xie Wen should have had the baby aborted and ended their contract. Instead, he holds out a new document to the utterly heartbroken Song Yu: a marriage agreement. The System lets out a piercing shriek: Host, what are you doing??? Xie Wen: Staying in character and ensuring my daily needs are met for the long term. World Two: Debauched young master x composed shadow guard While out, Xie Wen picks up a shadow guard. He pins the guard down in the study, pins him down in the bedroom, and pins him down in bed. When he learns the guard is pregnant, he should give him a bowl of abortion medicine and abandon him. Instead, he corners the guard and asks whether his former master was better, or he is. The guard can’t answer, so Xie Wen smashes the bowl. System: What the hell just happened??? World Three: Rich kid x simple, honest man After offending his father, Xie Wen is dumped in the countryside and left to fend for himself. But village life isn’t as dull as he expected, especially since the honest man next door has a great body. But who said he wanted to like him and marry him? System: There’s nothing you can do about this one, right? Xie Wen: He has a great body. System: ? Xie Wen: I’m a visual person. I can’t give him up. System: ...Sure. Theme: Love takes many forms. May you find one that’s sincere.
