The Pregnant Female Supporting Character Won't Run Away in the 1970S

One moment, Jiang Xueyi is swallowed by a tide of zombies. The next, she becomes the cannon-fodder female supporting character in a melodramatic period novel. She's also pregnant. She looks up at the sky and sighs. She may be good at killing zombies, but in this era, she can't do a thing. What should she do? Jiang Xueyi rubs her belly. Looks like she'll have to find the baby's father and ask him to keep her. He Chengze is handsome and has a bright future ahead of him. After years of keeping himself pure, all he wants is to focus on his career. Then a woman shows up at his door, rubbing her already prominent belly and telling him the baby is his. He Chengze's face turns cold. "Madam, you've got the wrong man." Does he look like some sucker who'd raise another man's child? A woman moves into He Chengze's spotless home. His peaceful life turns into utter chaos. "He Chengze, I want a chicken leg." "He Chengze, I want to buy a floral dress." "He Chengze, I want..." Every day, she keeps him running around, making him spend his pay on clothes and snacks for her, then giving her shoulder rubs and foot massages. He Chengze: ... Why is he so happy to do it? He originally thought having one more person in the house wouldn't change much. But when the woman walks around in his white shirt, showing off her long, fair legs... He Chengze: Damn it, he can't hold back any longer! One late night, Colonel He turns into the Big Bad Wolf and pins Jiang Xueyi to the bed, just about to have his way with her. Jiang Xueyi laughs, her belly sticking out as she nudges him. "Colonel He, you can't~" He Chengze's gaze darkens. He grits his teeth. "Just wait until the baby is born. Then you'll see what I do to you!" Here's a pre-release, A Blended Family in 1990s Hong Kong. If you're interested, click through to the author's page to add it to your library.
