"The Overbearing CEO Ran Away with a Bun in the Oven [Transmigrated into a Book]" by Yu Misheng [Complete]
Synopsis:
Bai Le had recently become obsessed with a melodramatic angst novel. He was a devoted shipper of the male and female leads and utterly despised the cannon-fodder, villainous rich second-generation CEO who kept throwing obstacles in their path.
He never expected to wake up as the cannon-fodder overbearing CEO he hated most. He plotted to drug the male lead, only to get caught in his own trap.
That single encounter hit the jackpot, so he resolutely decided to run away with a bun in the oven. To his surprise, he was caught and brought back the very next day.
From then on, whenever a major matter involving company cooperation came up, Bai Le would give a cold laugh, tragically pull out a fountain pen, and poke it against his belly. He might as well have written the word "threat" on his stomach.
"Are you signing or not?"
Xi Yan stared at him expressionlessly for a moment, then finally signed his name on the paper with a flourish.
"I signed it. Be good and put the pen down first."
With no romantic feelings between them, the two unanimously agreed to divorce after the baby was born if things weren't working out. But in the end, Bai Le discovered that the man had no respect for their agreement whatsoever.

Chapter 1
Bai Le slowly opened his eyes. All he could feel was soreness throughout his body. He struggled to move, and memories of the previous night rushed into his mind.
He only remembered that he had just regained consciousness the night before and, before he'd had time to fully take in all of this body's memories, had found himself in an intensely stimulating situation. He'd been about to speak when a slightly cool hand covered his mouth, blocking the words he'd been about to shout.
Terrified, he'd stared straight at the person on top of him, and all his memories of the man had come flooding back.
He had actually transmigrated into a melodramatic, angsty romance about a wealthy family that he'd read. The male and female leads met when a cannon-fodder character drugged them, forcing them into a one-night stand, and he was that cannon fodder!
But it was supposed to be the female lead who climbed into the male lead's bed! What did it have to do with him, a cannon-fodder tool character?!
Seeing things gradually heading in an uncontrollable direction, Bai Le finally took action. He gritted his teeth and suddenly sprang up with a kip-up, reversing their positions while the other person wasn't paying attention.
"I'm going on top!"
Since the arrow was already on the bowstring and there was no avoiding it, he might as well do it this way. At least he wouldn't have to suffer.
After hearing him speak, the man seemed to let out a very soft chuckle that sent a chill down his spine.
As for what happened afterward...
Recalling it, Bai Le couldn't help closing his eyes in shame and indignation. As it turned out, some things had the same outcome either way.
After spending the night processing and sorting things out, he had finally accepted that he'd transmigrated into a book. The book's male lead was the man lying beside him now, Xi Yan, known in their circle as Fourth Master Xi. He had all the tragic background needed to be a male lead.
His mother, Tan Lianxin, had originally been a □□ at an upscale club. She accidentally became pregnant with him while receiving a client.
But she hadn't chosen to abort this child who should never have been born. One reason was that a doctor had told her another abortion would be extremely dangerous given her constitution.
The other was that the man was wealthy and powerful, which gave her ideas she shouldn't have had.
She treated her unborn child as a bargaining chip for entry into high society, hoping to rise to the top in a single leap.
But she never expected the child's biological father to shatter her dream himself. To him, an illegitimate child simply didn't matter.
Besides, he had a legitimate eldest son and had no need for something so disreputable.
In the end, she had no choice but to accept a sum of support money. She was then driven out of S City and even lost her livelihood.
Fortunately, although she was a little older, she still had her looks. She found a civil servant in a small county town to take responsibility, deliberately concealed the fact that she was already pregnant, quickly married him, and gave birth to Xi Yan.
Although money was tight and his mother was very cold toward him for some reason, Xi Yan's childhood could not be called unhappy until he was five.
Then, on his fifth birthday, his "father" discovered the truth, and his life changed completely.
The man, who had been honest and ineffectual all his life, couldn't accept the truth.
Although he didn't choose to divorce, he became short-tempered and irritable, drinking heavily all day and occasionally beating and berating Tan Lianxin and Xi Yan to vent his anger. Things only improved somewhat after Xi Yan's younger brother was born.
The couple's relationship temporarily eased, and they lavished all their love on this child.
As for Xi Yan, his existence was the source of the family's suffering.
Later, when Xi Yan was eighteen, he was forcibly sent to a psychiatric hospital for reasons unknown and made to undergo a year of treatment in isolation.
Then his biological father sent someone to take him out of the hospital, changed his surname back to Xi, and formally acknowledged him as a member of the Xi Family.
This sudden move was also because the eldest son had died unexpectedly and the collateral branches were eyeing the family hungrily, leaving him no choice but to find his former illegitimate son, Xi Yan.
Because Xi Yan had often gone hungry in his previous home, he was also physically weaker than others his age.
Later, he fell seriously ill in the psychiatric hospital and nearly died there. Even though he was saved, his health collapsed, and he had basically been a medicine jar all these years.
But Bai Le knew his health wasn't as bad as outsiders thought. Over the years, he had consistently exercised and trained, and had also taken care to improve his health. His appearance of frailty was merely a smokescreen.
The Xi Family's waters ran deep. Those who weren't ruthless enough hadn't survived.
From the psychiatric hospital to the Xi Family, no one knew what he had been through.
The once withdrawn, silent child seemed to have become a different person overnight, turning sinister, violent, and ruthless, someone everyone in their circle feared and respected.
