Bad news: I transmigrated into a CEO romance novel with my ex-boyfriend, then ran away while pregnant.

Good news: My ex-boyfriend is the one who ran away while pregnant.

☆ About the Pregnancy ☆

During an overtime shift, as a steel frame collapses, Xie Zhaoyi is pulled out of danger into a familiar embrace.

When she opens her eyes again... she's become the heroine of the novel One Night of Passionate Entanglement: Five Years Later, I Return with My Adorable Baby to Turn the Capital Upside Down.

Wait... the domineering CEO male lead is her ex-boyfriend, whom she broke up with three years ago?

It's awkward enough being around the ex-boyfriend she dumped, who ended up transmigrating into the book with her after saving her. And now... now she's gotten her ex-boyfriend pregnant!

Xie Zhaoyi: Just kill me already.

Gu Qingyan is in a bit of a daze.

He never thought that one day he'd hear a doctor tell him he was pregnant.

That's right, he's pregnant.

He's pregnant?!...

He looks expressionless, but inside, a thunderbolt has reduced him to rubble.

Xie Zhaoyi, the "culprit," tries to comfort him guiltily. "It's okay, it's okay. In the novel, it just goes 'whoosh' and jumps ahead five years. You won't actually have to go through the pregnancy. Don't worry."

A glimmer of hope flashes in his eyes. "Mm."

Then the next day... the third day... the second month... the third month... the fifth month...

Gu Qingyan's belly grows steadily bigger. Morning sickness, swelling, mood swings... one pregnancy symptom after another sets in.

Watching him grow gloomy under the strain day after day, Xie Zhaoyi knows she's deeply in the wrong and racks her brains to cheer him up:

"Gu Qingyan, I'll make you breakfast."

But Gu Qingyan gets up even earlier.

"Gu Qingyan, I'll build Lego with you."

In the end, Xie Zhaoyi spends five minutes building Lego with Gu Qingyan, and Gu Qingyan spends half an hour massaging her shoulders and neck.

"Gu Qingyan, is there nothing you need me to do?"

"I just want... you to stay by my side forever."

Gu Qingyan is pathetically trying to win his wife back...

·

Before pregnancy, Gu Qingyan was a stubborn, prideful workaholic who spent three years working up the nerve to ask her to get back together.

After getting pregnant, he's sensitive, clingy, and teary-eyed, wanting to cuddle with his wife every day.

☆ About the System ☆

[Quest System]

Features: Constantly freezes. It gets through two lines of dialogue, then crashes for N chapters.

The first time the Quest System appears: "Your quest is to win over %#%..." (crashes.)

Xie Zhaoyi: It's fine. I may not have enough information, but I'm good at analyzing things. I'm the heroine, so my target must be the male lead, Gu Qingyan!

The second time the Quest System appears: "Your quest is to win over Gu Qingyan..." (crashes.)

Xie Zhaoyi: I knew it!

So she goes all out to please Gu Qingyan. When he finds the second female lead annoying, she steps in to confront her herself, making sure the woman can't get anywhere near Gu Qingyan.

The second female lead hates her guts, but her affection meter doesn't go up by a single point.

The third time the Quest System appears: "Your quest is to win over Gu Qingyan's childhood friend and the second female lead of this novel, Qiao Xinxue."

Xie Zhaoyi: ?

The end.

[Affection Meter System]

Features: A completely emotionless progress-reporting machine. When it's working, it doesn't want to say one extra word. When gossiping, it can chat away for eight hours.

The Affection Meter System's daily routine:

"Why did you break up with him?"

"Are you still hung up on him?"

"Why don't you get back together?"

*Optimistic, chatty, gentle(?) kitten Xie Zhaoyi x seemingly cold but actually clingy (and occasionally a bit sharp-tongued) leopard Gu Qingyan

Reader's Guide:

1. The blurb may be revised, but the story's direction won't change. While writing, I may add little bonus scenes I particularly like.

2. Probably a sweet little romance?

3. The male lead loves and clings to the female lead more, but they dote on each other through their actions.

Theme: Talk things through when problems arise
