Raising Babies in a Dating Sim System

Ye Xiamu, an unlucky woman, is killed when a flowerpot falls from a balcony and hits her on the head. Her drifting soul is forcibly bound to a shady System. The System sets her up with a real-life version of a game about showing off. At first, she’s put off by it, but when she sees how pretty and well-behaved the game’s protagonist is, she happily starts raising her little one. As their bond grows, Ye Xiamu becomes more and more fond of the little character in the game. “My sweet boy is so handsome. When he grows up, he’ll have a whole bunch of girls wrapped around his finger.” “My sweet boy is so clever. No wonder he’s destined to become emperor.” “My sweet boy looks wonderful from every angle. This old mom can hardly bear to be without you.” Ye Xiamu, who’s usually so cool and indifferent, showers the character in the game with praise.

[Sorry, the game character doesn’t accept.] General’s daughter? [Sorry, the game character doesn’t accept.] Ye Xiamu: “…” [Hello! Would you like to activate romance mode for the character in your game?] Ye Xiamu suddenly gets it and quickly hits OK. The next instant, with a whoosh, she’s standing in the Golden Throne Hall. “Long live the Empress!” Jian Mo gently takes her hand. “Xiaxia, you’re finally here.” Ye Xiamu’s world spins. That damned System tricked her.
