The Overbearing CEO Ran Away Pregnant [Transmigration]

[My new novel, When a Scheming Green Tea Decides to Break Up, is now out! Please add it to your reading list.]

Bai Le has recently become obsessed with a melodramatic angst novel. He's a die-hard shipper of the male and female leads and absolutely despises the villainous rich second-generation CEO who schemes to keep them apart.

But when he wakes up one morning, he finds himself transmigrated into the very cannon-fodder CEO he hates most. He tries to drug the male lead, only to get caught in his own trap.

And just that once is enough to hit the jackpot. He resolutely decides to run away with the baby, only to be caught and brought back the very next day.

From then on, whenever a major business deal comes up, Bai Le gives a cold laugh, pulls out a fountain pen with tragic resolve, and starts poking it against his belly. He might as well write the word threat across it.

"Are you signing or not?"

Xi Yan watches him expressionlessly for a moment before finally scrawling his signature across the paper.

"I've signed. Be good and put the pen down first."

With no feelings between them, the two agree to divorce after the baby is born if things don't work out. But in the end, Bai Le discovers that this man has no respect for their agreement whatsoever.

Blurb for my other novel: When a Scheming Green Tea Decides to Break Up. Please add it to your reading list!

Song Qi plans to break up.

After a bout of high fever, he gains self-awareness and discovers that he's a scheming, manipulative cannon-fodder character in a melodramatic angst novel, destined to keep the male leads apart.

In the original story, he goes to extraordinary lengths to secure a place at Fu Yanzhou's side, eventually becoming his kept lover.

But after they get together, he realizes the man he worked so hard to seduce might not be entirely right in the head.

Fu Yanzhou does spoil him rotten, giving him whatever he wants.

But his need to control and possess Song Qi is just as extreme-and terrifying.

Before, Song Qi could put up with it for the money. Now that he's gained self-awareness, he can't stand it anymore.

Their conflict finally comes to a head when Fu Yanzhou forbids him from going on vacation to a foreign island with his fellow cast members.

As a grown adult, Song Qi has had enough. He finally says what's been weighing on his mind.

Fu Yanzhou pauses over the document he's reviewing and frowns slightly, as if he hasn't heard him clearly.

"What did you say?"

Through gritted teeth, Song Qi enunciates every word: "I! SAID! I! WANT! FREEDOM!"

Without looking up, Fu Yanzhou writes out a check and hands it to him. "Three days. I'll have my secretary book you a trip somewhere closer."

Song Qi decides to put it more plainly. "...Forget it. I'm saying I want to break up."

Fu Yanzhou casually tears off another check and hands it to him. "Ten days. Not a day more."

Song Qi: "..."

After Song Qi breaks up with him-

When his agency shelves him and his rivals start making life difficult for him, Song Qi can't help going to Fu Yanzhou to plead with him to let him off.

But instead, he sees a young man who bears some resemblance to him walking out of the home they once shared.

Only then does he realize that Fu Yanzhou was only ever fond of his face, and all those sweet nothings were just empty words meant to placate him.

Having finally understood what he means to Fu Yanzhou, Song Qi decides to leave the entertainment industry and get far away from the city.

But to his surprise, Fu Yanzhou corners him outside his home the day before he leaves.

Looking haggard, his eyes bloodshot, Fu Yanzhou says, "Damn it, is that stupid island really so important?"

"..."

"I've already bought the damn island. If you like it, we can go there together."

"..."

"Stop being upset, all right?"

"..."
