The Brooding Alpha from the Restriction Novel Won't Leave Me Alone

(A cultivation story featuring a dark, possessive, scheming green-tea top who has an extremely twisted love for his partner. Please steer clear if that's not your thing.)

Wen Xiu transmigrates into a cannon-fodder beta in an abruptly ended novel. The protagonist dies a tragic death, and the villain destroys the world. The System sends him to change the ending and save the protagonist.

So I'm the savior, huh? OK, leave it to me~

"The System will definitely give me some kind of golden finger, right?"

System: :)

Wen Xiu: ???

When the System suddenly goes offline, he discovers to his dismay that worse than having no golden finger is that he has to start saving the protagonist back when they're a child!

Great. This life is never going to end.

Wen Xiu knows next to nothing about the protagonist, so he makes do by being a good Samaritan and helping kids wherever he can.

First, he comes across a little boy with black hair and black eyes who looks incredibly well-behaved. With a face like that, he must be the protagonist.

But just a few days later, he meets a silver-haired boy with pink eyes. He's so distinctive, he looks like the protagonist too. A few days after that, a pretty pink-haired boy who looks like a little prince comes knocking on his door.

Wen Xiu: "..."

So, which one is he supposed to save?

The poor guy is still young and suddenly has three kids to raise. He works hard, muddles through looking after them, and finally, ten years later, gets to enjoy the good life, with food and clothes brought right to him.

Just as Wen Xiu thinks things are finally looking up, the kids grow up and reach their second gender differentiation...

Wait, I'm a beta. Don't bite me!

Pheromones? I don't have those!

One night, he is suddenly jolted awake by a strange sensation. When he opens his eyes, Wen Xiu is horrified to find himself bound tightly to a chair, his clothes in disarray.

The black-haired boy he'd always thought was the most well-behaved is kneeling beside his legs, head bowed. His eyes, usually warm with a gentle smile, now look up at Wen Xiu with terrifying, absolute possessiveness.

Even the boy who had never been willing to call him "brother" like the others does so now.

"Brother, could you look only at me?~"

"I met you first, Brother. I won't give you up to anyone!"

Wen Xiu, utterly bewildered: "You like me?"

The little dog who has licked him until he's flushed all over firmly shakes his head. "No, Brother, you're my light! My god! My only faith!"

"Huh??"

This alpha is insane!!!

Only later does Wen Xiu learn that the book is called "The Violent Alphas in the Restraint Novel."

Wen Xiu: "A restraint novel???"

System: Hehe~

Reader's Guide: 1. All characters are virgins. Modern alternate setting, my take on ABO.

2. I'll add more if I think of anything.

Theme: Keep looking on the bright side, and the clouds will part to reveal the moon
