[Upcoming Novel: Who Knew I'd Run Away While Pregnant? Please Add to Favorites]

Blurb: Xiao Mo transmigrated. The System: Your mission is to win over the female lead, defeat the Sword Venerable, and become the male lead.

The System: First side quest: Go help the female lead by taking a hit for her in battle right now. Make her fall in love with you after she's moved.

Seriously injured, Xiao Mo gathered his courage and rushed toward the battlefield, only to witness the female lead die at the hands of the villain.

The System: !!!

Xiao Mo: ???

After the System had crashed ten thousand times...

Xiao Mo: "How about I try to win over the male lead instead? The female lead's man is the male lead, and the male lead's man is also the male lead, right? In a story with two male leads, why can't I count as one?"

The System: ???

But the Sword Venerable was a naturally gifted practitioner of the heartless path!

Xiao Mo: "Your database has so many tricks. Even if he's on the heartless path, I'll make him join the Hehuan Sect!"

Today, Xiao Mo brought a bouquet of flowers. As he presented it to the Sword Venerable, he tripped over his own feet and fell to the ground. "Oh no, I fell. I need a hug to get up."

When he looked up, all he saw was the Sword Venerable's coldly retreating hem.

The next day, he spent a fortune on a little spirit tiger and held it up in front of the Sword Venerable. "Is this kitten cute? Meow~"

The spirit tiger and Xiao Mo were both slapped to the ground by the Sword Venerable's mount, Black Owl, and rolled eight times.

Covered in dust, the man, the beast, and the System sat up. The Sword Venerable had already flown away on Black Owl.

Xiao Mo: "So you won't take a friendly offer? Fine, I'll give you something stronger!"

He stuffed pills he'd bought from the Hehuan Sect into his clothes and charged into the Sword Venerable's cave abode. "I brought you a present!"

Leng Qing looked at the Love-Inducing Pill in his palm and said coldly, "I know what this pill is."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Love-Inducing Pill crumbled to ash in his hand.

Xiao Mo had been worn down by failure until he was desperate. He asked the System, "If I can't become the male lead, will I really die?"

The System: "...I lied to you before. Actually, your cultivation will just stagnate until your soul is annihilated."

Xiao Mo: "...I can live for at least 500 years at the Golden Core stage! Why am I wasting time here? Come on, let's fly our swords around the world!"

Leng Qing hit a bottleneck in his cultivation. When he emerged from seclusion, he no longer saw the person who'd clung to him every day. Then he heard that Xiao Mo was touring the cultivation world with the Hehuan Sect Leader. Leng Qing spat out a mouthful of black blood and fell into demonic cultivation.

Upcoming novel: Who Knew I'd Run Away While Pregnant?

Blurb: Zhuang Huai was sent to Lou Lin's bed by his fiance. Lou Lin was his father's friend, more than ten years older than him.

Afterward, Lou Lin turned his back to Zhuang Huai, his back muscles tense and trembling. "It was my fault."

Lou Lin added, "I'll take good care of you."

Zhuang Huai stared at the ceiling for a long while. "I hate my fiance. I don't want him to get away with anything."

Lou Lin: "All right."

Zhuang Huai looked at Lou Lin's back. "My father died. I won't manage the family company, but my younger brother has a real talent for it."

Lou Lin: "I'll keep him by my side and teach him myself."

After that, Lou Lin never did anything inappropriate again. He was just like Zhuang Huai's kind uncle.

Zhuang Huai gradually let down his guard, thinking he could get his life back on track. He never expected that he would end up pregnant.

The first time Lou Lin met Zhuang Huai, he was a tiny little kid, only 1.5 meters tall. Lou Lin treated him like a younger relative.

But after one summer vacation two years later, the little kid shot up in height. His slender figure was as supple as a willow, and when he smiled with curved eyes, he bloomed like flowers in spring.

Lou Lin couldn't suppress the wicked thoughts in his heart, so he could only avoid seeing him.

Who knew their fates weren't finished? Years later, Zhuang Huai was sent to his bed.

Lou Lin had been set up and had taken advantage of Zhuang Huai. Afterward, all he could think about was how much he'd enjoyed it.

Lou Lin buried his most repulsive thoughts deep inside and hated himself to the utmost.

A year later, Lou Lin was overjoyed to have a son. His eyes and brows brimmed with happiness, and he held a diamond ring in his hand.

He pushed open the hospital room door, only to find the hungry baby crying for milk.

Lou Lin's happy expression froze, and his face darkened. The diamond ring in his clenched fist cut into his heart.
