Holding the Script, but Everyone Has Awakened

Tang Ling transmigrates into a melodramatic, angsty novel about a marriage that begins before love. The System tells him to save the tragic shou in the story.

System: "The protagonist shou is oppressed and ostracized. His father doesn't care for him, his mother doesn't love him, and his husband has a white moonlight. They draw his blood and take his kidney, leaving him wishing he were dead every day."

Tang Ling frowns. "Another brainless angst story. Wouldn't calling the police solve this faster?"

The System ignores him and issues its mission. "Your job is to protect him when he's being hurt, guide him when he's lost, and comfort him when he's sad."

Tang Ling furrows his brows even more. "I'm not going to be the other man."

The System leaves him with one last warning. "If you won't do it, just wait for this world to be destroyed."

To stay alive, Tang Ling has no choice but to grit his teeth and do it.

Gu Ling'an is the illegitimate son of a top-tier wealthy family in Haicheng. Word is, his family plans to get rid of him by marrying him off to an ugly old man.

According to the information Tang Ling has on Gu Ling'an, he has rosy lips and pearly white teeth, a pair of beautiful, lively eyes, and a fair, handsome face as lovely as peach blossoms. A boundless heroic spirit rises in Tang Ling's heart. Who else can save the world if not me?

On the wedding day, Tang Ling goes to great lengths to climb over the wall and gets into the garden, where he sees Gu Ling'an. Dressed in a spotless white suit, he leans alone against the railing and admires the scenery, beautiful as a painting. Hearing the noise, he looks up. Clear sunlight falls into his deep eyes, which sparkle with life as they move.

Gu Ling'an asks, "How did you get in here?"

His voice is clear, bold, and proud, but Tang Ling barely hears it. All he can hear is his own heart pounding in his ears.

Only when Gu Ling'an narrows his eyes and says, "Hmm?" does Tang Ling respond.

His heart hammering, Tang Ling blurts out, "I-I came to be the other man."

After a moment of surprise, a teasing smile appears on Gu Ling'an's cool, handsome face. "Oh?"

That day, Tang Ling has no idea how he leaves the Gu residence. Naturally, he also doesn't know that after he's gone, a bodyguard steps out of the shadows and asks Gu Ling'an, "Master, should I take care of him?"

The corner of Gu Ling'an's mouth curves ever so slightly. "Not for now."

P.S. There may be pregnancy and childbirth.
