[Optimistic and bold | Swan bottom who abandons his husband and egg X Amnesiac, blind | Black snake top who raises a child]
Yun Ranheng was an ugly duckling, but he wasn't the least bit insecure.
Because he wasn't an ordinary ugly duckling. He was a new human with ugly duckling genes, and the uglier he was before adulthood, the more beautiful he'd become afterward.
So Yun Ranheng looked at himself in the mirror and nodded with satisfaction, convinced that one day he'd become a swan so beautiful it would put the moon to shame, make fish forget to swim, and outshine all the flowers… (several thousand words omitted here).
Of course, Yun Ranheng wasn't the only one who thought so. His family, childhood sweetheart, and admirers all agreed.
Until the fourth year after Yun Ranheng came of age
Yun Ranheng looked at his reflection, still an ugly duckling: ?.?
Wasn't it a bit much to take this long and still not turn into a swan?
*
After a round of tests yielded nothing, Yun Ranheng could only try folk remedies: kissing other new humans with animal genes, or even doing more intimate things.
But his childhood sweetheart always said he was busy, his admirers had all left long ago, and the male model he'd ordered, ahem, the one he'd ordered, gave his money back.
"Damn it. Every dog has its day. Don't mock an ugly duckling, or a swan will slap you in the face." Yun Ranheng said as he walked, then stumbled over someone and nearly fell. And then
When he saw the upper half of the person he'd tripped over, he pouted.
When he saw the lower half, his eyes lit up.
"Wow, a black snake with two of them!" Yun Ranheng didn't even have time to wipe the nonexistent drool from his mouth before rushing the injured man to the hospital.
If he did this and that with a black snake with two of them, wouldn't the effects be doubled?
And how was he supposed to do this and that with a black snake? As the saying goes, you repay a life-saving favor by giving yourself to your rescuer. Yun Ranheng thought about it happily.
*
Only, things turned out even better than he'd imagined.
The black snake had lost his memory and gone blind. So Yun Ranheng managed to trick him in no time, then got pregnant. Wait
Yun Ranheng didn't realize he was pregnant until he was about to give birth: !!!
*
These were all minor problems.
After successfully turning into a swan, Yun Ranheng reached the pinnacle of life. His family valued him, his childhood sweetheart wasn't busy anymore, and his admirers returned.
Ahem, on top of that, there was also a well-behaved little white…
But Yun Ranheng wasn't a saint. He accepted none of his admirers' advances and instead planned to choose someone else for a political marriage.
But why did this marriage candidate look so much like the black snake he'd tricked before, the one he'd left with an egg and told that he'd died in childbirth?
And why did the little black duck beside him look…
Yun Ranheng, seeing a carbon copy of his childhood self: (O mouth O)
