After the Cannon-Fodder Deposed Crown Prince Faked His Death and Fled While Pregnant

Xuan Xiao was a washed-up nobody in the entertainment industry. After binding himself to a Superstar System, he accidentally transmigrated into a book and wound up with the role of a doomed, deposed crown prince.

The ambitious Regent Gu Zhuoyu wanted to put his puppet, his thirteenth younger brother, on the throne. He planned not only to depose Xuan Xiao, but also to make sure he died without a whole corpse.

Xuan Xiao hugged his knees and trembled, racking his brain for a way out, while the System only wanted to make him a top-tier star in ancient times.

"..."

A top-tier star in ancient times? That just means emperor!!!

Terrified, Xuan Xiao spent the night figuring out how to fake his death and escape.

Before fleeing, his urge to rescue someone from a life of hardship kicked in. He spent several nights with a pitiful male courtesan from a brothel and even wanted to buy his freedom.

When he heard that the Regent had already installed a new crown prince and would soon deal with him, the deposed crown prince, Xuan Xiao had no choice but to slip away first. He could come back for his sweetheart later.

After faking his death, he discovered he had a little one on the way.

Xuan Xiao was bewildered. "System, was this in the plot?"

Five years later, the court was in turmoil. The Regent had installed and deposed several emperors, and the imperial family had no one left who could inherit the throne.

Then a court official reported that a four-year-old child had been found in the Jiangnan region, and he looked exactly like the former crown prince had as a child.

And so Xuan Xiao was carried back to the palace, child and all.

The System planted its hands on its hips. "I told you I'd make you a top-tier star in ancient times!"

Xuan Xiao: "?"

After unexpectedly ascending the throne, Xuan Xiao was still wondering whether he could find his sweetheart before figuring out how to run away, when the Regent cast him a dark look.

Xuan Xiao shuddered.

"System, judging by his eyes, is he planning to kill me and make my son his puppet?"

Gu Zhuoyu had refused to believe Xuan Xiao was dead and had spent five years searching for him like a madman. Now that he saw him alive and standing before him with a child, he broke into the bedchamber that night.

"Your Majesty, didn't you say you'd buy my freedom?"

Xuan Xiao: "QAQ???"
