Synopsis:
"Zhao Mocai" is the only boy in Zhao Village to have passed the first imperial examination. His family dotes on him, and he does whatever he pleases. He's also picky, and after failing to find a wife for a long time, he can only marry a husband instead.
But the husband he gets isn't the original groom. He's a short, skinny little bean sprout who was sent in someone else's place.
Looking at his tiny husband, who seems like a middle schooler, and at his family's gaunt faces after they'd spent everything to support the original Zhao Mocai's studies, Zhao Mocai feels the weight of responsibility.
By a twist of fate, Zhao Mocai writes A Simple Arithmetic Book Anyone Can Learn, Young or Old, Man or Woman. He teaches his entire family to do arithmetic, then prints copies to sell to the villagers and starts a village school to teach everyone math.
From then on, his reputation improves, and his family starts making good money.
But someone loses out as a result and tries to ruin Zhao Mocai. He retaliates by writing even more books:
How to Become a County Magistrate and Make Your Name Live on in History
From Buy-One-Get-One Deals to Making a Fortune
Learn to Farm with Me: A Thousand Shi per Mu
Later, Zhao Mocai is admitted to the Imperial College as an exception because of his books, and the truth about the original owner's background gradually comes to light.
The original owner is the true young master who went missing in a novel about a real and fake young master.
In the original story, once his identity is revealed, his cruel father refuses to acknowledge his biological son, who grew up in the countryside. He plots against him in every way, eventually bringing ruin upon the Zhao family.
Now Zhao Mocai has several best-selling books under his belt. As long as he passes the imperial examinations, he is guaranteed a position at the Hanlin Academy.
The father who once despised him now welcomes him with open arms, treating him like a treasure.
Zhao Mocai turns away with a cold laugh. Compared to the debt of giving birth, the debt of raising someone is obviously greater.

Synopsis:
Sheng Nian transmigrates into an angsty novel on the night the protagonist is framed. His agent is about to send the original owner to a pervert's bed when his childhood friend rescues him. But the rescue leads to the two of them sleeping together.
However, this is no good for the original owner.
The childhood friend loves him without realizing it, but exposes the original owner's pregnancy to help his own white moonlight, costing the original owner a movie role that goes to the white moonlight instead.
As a result, the original owner is subjected to endless online abuse and oppression during his pregnancy. He eventually dies in childbirth, taking the baby with him.
Sheng Nian: A disastrous start! I... I'll go to the room of a top big shot instead. No way am I repeating the original owner's fate!
That night, Sheng Nian's back nearly broke, his voice went hoarse, and his eyes were swollen from crying.
The next morning, Sheng Nian glanced at the still-sleeping villain, quietly left him a phone number, and slipped away.
Two days later, Sheng Nian heard that the villain was "hunting down" the person who had framed him worldwide. He was glad he'd gotten away fast.
He also got to star in the movie that should have been his, then took an extended leave and went home to prepare for the birth.
That's right, the original owner's fate hadn't changed. A different soul in his body still got pregnant.
Seven months later, Sheng Nian looked at the villain's phone number and congratulated himself on his foresight!
He texted the big shot to say he would have someone leave the baby at his door.
Two days later, he again heard that the big shot was "hunting down" the person who had framed him worldwide!
After Sheng Nian returned to the entertainment industry, his agent actually wanted him to appear on a couples' reality show with his childhood friend. Sheng Nian dealt with his agent while messaging a friend who claimed to be the baby's godfather: [Be my boyfriend!]
The reply came at once. He picked up his phone and told his agent, "I've told you, I already have a boyfriend!"
His agent: "Your boyfriend is... Kan Feng?"
His agent sneered. "Well, 'your boyfriend' wants to know how you got his number."
Sheng Nian: ... Ahhhhh! Wrong person! I sent it to the baby's real dad!
Theme: Leave behind the original owner's flaws, be an honest person, and strive to improve.
