After the Cannon Fodder Phoenix Man Mistakes the Male Lead

Mainly from the top's perspective. Updated punctually every day at 12 noon.

An Shiwu transmigrated into a danmei novel about male pregnancy, whose male lead's name he couldn't even remember.

In the book, he was a phoenix man who married into the male lead's family. They were mismatched in social status, but had been engaged since childhood. The male lead married him to gain the chance to take charge of the family business, then made a name for himself and became a legendary businessman in the ancient world.

Meanwhile, An Shiwu was ambitious and thought the sky was the limit. He tried to meddle in the male lead's family business, but got slapped in the face again and again. In the end, all he got was a divorce agreement and a huge settlement before leaving in disgrace.

What kind of dream setup was this? He had food, drink, and a huge house, no spousal obligations, and a pile of silver waiting after the breakup. This male lead was a keeper.

Sure enough, on their wedding night, the male lead, with his cool features and serious expression, brought out a contract.

A marriage of convenience? An Shiwu understood. As an illiterate man from the ancient world, he signed without even reading it, then waited for the male lead to ask for a divorce so he could collect a huge breakup fee.

In the first year of marriage, he clutched his seemingly slimmer waist and felt utterly drained.

In the third year of marriage, he looked at the man's slightly rounded belly and felt increasingly guilty.

In the fifth year of marriage, he heard the man's eldest nephew cursing him behind his back, calling him a "phoenix man" with ulterior motives.

In the seventh year of marriage, An Shiwu's identity as a "phoenix man" was exposed. His incredible skills earned him everyone's admiration, and he became so influential he could summon the wind and rain. The eldest nephew was dumbfounded. So he really was a phoenix man? But he was supposed to be my fiance!

Upcoming story 2: Qin Er Shi: Did He Get Beaten Today? No CP, child-rearing story

Hu Hai transmigrated. Before the baby could even open his eyes, he heard a stern, middle-aged man's voice: "Is this the little golden dumpling? Isn't it a little piglet? Could Xu Fu have made a mistake?"

"Your Majesty, Xu Fu is only human. Heaven's will is hard to discern. The young prince is simply a little round."

Hu Hai was baffled. He thought he wasn't an ordinary baby, but his father seemed to dislike him.

A stream of water shot into the air, and the cleanliness-obsessed First Emperor's face darkened.

"Ding! The First Emperor's anger level has increased by 10. The Host has been awarded a protective aura that can block three physical attacks."

"Ding! Li Si's approval rating has increased by 0.5. The current balance is insufficient to redeem a skill."

"The Hegemony System is at your service. Host, keep up the good work."

What was the Turtle System? The useless little Hu Hai thought for a second, then promptly fell fast asleep.

Years later, the First Emperor saw bamboo slips scattered all over the floor and grabbed a bamboo switch, chasing Hu Hai around the great hall.

"Ding! The First Emperor's anger level has increased by 15. Host has accumulated 5,000+ experience points. Redeeming one copy of hybrid rice technology. Host, keep up the good work and become a regional overlord soon."

An overlord? Impossible. A socialist successor loves peace. Hu Hai ran while taking a sip of watermelon juice from his hand. I really am the most filial crown prince. Today is another day of working hard for Father's grand ambitions.

Years later, Hu Hai sat high on the palace throne. Ministers made their remonstrations below, while behind him the First Emperor stood glaring with a ruler in hand. His father had gotten lazy. So the consequence of a top-tier laborer waking up was simply to switch to another poor sucker (Hu Hai) to keep working.
