Chapter 1

[Host, don't be nervous. Once he gets you pregnant, you'll succeed.]

[As long as you raise the child to five, you'll possess the supreme abilities of a Pureblood. By then, no one will dare look down on you.]

[Besides, you'll regain the ability to speak. Isn't that wonderful?]

The cold system voice in her mind prattled on, painting a beautiful blueprint of the future.

An Xiang had no heart to listen. Her mind was filled with nothing but fear.

The room was pitch-black. Naked, she curled herself tightly into a ball like a shrimp. The blanket covered her head, sealing her in completely. The dwindling air made her breathing increasingly rapid and ragged, as though a heavy stone weighed on her chest, suffocating her until her heart ached faintly.

Even so, An Xiang refused to emerge from her confinement.

She squeezed her eyes shut, her slender, trembling fingers clutching the bedsheet beneath her.

An Xiang was terrified.

So terrified that she could not even cry.

But she could not run away. She had to endure the coming violation.

An Xiang was the youngest daughter of the An Family, and also the most useless Pureblood.

She was clearly a vampire, yet she possessed none of the Vampire Clan's most basic abilities.

She could neither see through people's hearts nor control time. She was weak and foolish, slow to react, and mute. Most mockingly of all, though she was a vampire, she was allergic to human blood. That meant she could not drink blood and could only survive on specially prepared food supplements.

Over time, the utterly useless An Xiang was abandoned by her family and subjected to endless scorn and neglect.

They ridiculed her, laughed at her, and tormented her.

Her unruly cousin had deliberately poured blood into her bowl. An Xiang had accidentally consumed it, and before she died, all she heard was peals of laughter and all she saw were her parents' indifferent eyes.

—No one had saved her.

An Xiang had originally believed her life had ended at twenty. She had never expected to open her eyes in another place.

The system said that the world she existed in was a novel called Descent of the Divine Son. The original owner of this body had been the male lead's mother in the novel, but she had died in an accident. Now, An Xiang, who shared her name and came from the same world, was required to complete the mission in her place.

As long as she slept with a man and gave birth to the future male lead, then raised him until he was five, she could leave.

By then, she would return to her own body and awaken the Vampire Clan's greatest power. Not only would she be able to speak, she would no longer be allergic to blood, and no one would ever look down on her again.

Remembering all the abuse she had suffered, An Xiang had agreed in a moment of heated impulse.

But now...

Fear of the unknown made her want to flee at the last moment.

Amid her daze, she heard the faint sound of a door opening. Her spine stiffened, then began to tremble.

An Xiang's heart pounded wildly beyond her control. Her snow-white teeth bit hard into her lower lip, and each breath came faster than the last.

The curtains around the bed were pulled aside. One corner of the mattress sank beside her. The next second, the silk quilt was violently yanked away, and an unfamiliar presence occupied the little space she had left.

—It was a man.

Before An Xiang could fully feel afraid, that presence had trapped her within it. A thick scent of alcohol accompanied the man's scorching breath as it washed over her.

In the darkness where she could not see her own hand, he found her moist, gleaming lips with unerring precision and vented his most primal instinct.

An Xiang's lips went numb from his kisses, and her mind grew increasingly muddled.

"I'm scared..."

She said it reflexively, then froze after hearing herself. In disbelief, she covered the throat that had just made a sound.

She...

She could speak?

That made sense. She had been mute before, but this body she had entered belonged to a perfectly healthy, ordinary human.

An Xiang swallowed and tried to calmly face the situation before her.

This man seemed to have been drugged. He was not lucid, and every movement he made was driven by instinct.

The system seemed to have mentioned at the beginning that the male lead's father had indeed been set up and mistakenly entered the commoner's mother's room...

As long as she... as long as she obeyed and endured for six years, she could obtain everything she had ever dreamed of.

An Xiang did not want to be bullied again. She did not want to be trampled like an ant ever again.

She wanted to become stronger. More than that, she wanted revenge on the members of her clan who had humiliated her.

The laughter she had heard before dying echoed beside her ears once more, while those vicious, terrifying faces flashed before her eyes again and again.

Compared to what she had endured before, this little harm was nothing at all.

With that thought, An Xiang silently loosened the fist she had been clenching.

Besides the scorching smell of alcohol, the man carried a faint cedar scent. The two fragrances intertwined and enveloped her completely.

He had been fierce at first, but gradually became much gentler. As An Xiang began to adapt, she stopped struggling. The cries in her throat turned into soft whimpers.

Actually... it was not that hard to accept.

An Xiang closed her eyes and gradually sank under.

***

Night gave way to dawn.

Exhausted in both body and mind, An Xiang was awakened by the system's voice in her head.

[Host, wake up! It's time for you to leave!!!]

[Host, can you hear me talking?]

It called out again and again. An Xiang's fingertips twitched, and she slowly opened her eyes.

A sliver of light fell across the floor through the gap between the curtains. Her waist felt heavy. The man's strong forearm was wrapped around it, his palm warm and broad against her cool skin.

The man's skin was very pale. Several red nail marks could vaguely be seen on his forearm, all of them left by her last night.

She gently pushed his arm away, then slipped out of bed and quietly picked up her clothes, putting them on one piece at a time.

Her limbs were sore and weak. An Xiang let out a deep breath, then carefully turned around and examined the man who had spent the entire night tangled up with her.

The white sheets made his black hair stand out. His neck was long, and the lines of his shoulders and neck were smooth and flawless.

His entire face was covered in blurry mosaic censoring, making his features completely impossible to see.

Mosaic censoring...

An Xiang froze.

[According to novel conventions, the female lead can't see the protagonist's face after a one-night stand, so I handled it for you. No need to thank me.]

Seeing that An Xiang was still standing there, the system added, [Don't worry, he's a handsome guy.]

An Xiang's breathing caught, and she stammered, "I... I don't care about looks."

In a vampire's long life, there were many things more important than a face.

The system fell silent, assuming she was embarrassed.

[Those people will be here soon. Host, hurry and leave.]

An Xiang nodded. Not daring to delay, she dragged her exhausted body out of the hotel.

It was early spring. The morning wind carried a chill, and pedestrians hurried along the streets.

She had no money and no phone. Guided entirely by the system, she headed toward this body's home. At the same time, the system slowly transferred the original owner's nineteen years of memories to An Xiang.

She had been born into an utterly ordinary family. After her parents died, they left behind three apartments. The original owner had no ambitions. The change in her family circumstances had made her increasingly lazy, and she had dropped out of school early, living off the rent from those apartments.

The system asked, [Does the host need to reread the original plot?]

An Xiang had arrived in too much of a rush. At the time, she had been so panicked that she had been unable to calmly assess the situation. Since the system had offered, there was no reason to refuse.

"I want to read it again."

The system replied, [All right.]

As it spoke, it replayed the plot of Descent of the Divine Son for An Xiang at a slower speed.

In this novel's world, three major races coexisted: humans, vampires, and hunters.

Humans did not know that the other races existed. Since the nonhuman races had been driven from this land a century ago, they had kept their identities hidden and lived quietly in the corners of Earth.

However, balance was always meant to be broken. As the Vampire Clan grew stronger and began taking the initiative to attack the other two races, hidden currents surged among the various powers, and An Zimo was born.

As the male lead of this novel, An Zimo's life was destined to be difficult.

His mother had given birth to him with a cursed vampire. As a human-vampire hybrid, An Zimo had been diagnosed at birth as a "mentally deficient idiot." It meant that he would never be able to speak, would have no awareness, and would not even recognize his own mother.

The original owner, who knew nothing about life and was little more than an overgrown baby herself, panicked. She threw An Zimo to his maternal grandfather, who lived in the mountains, and he cared for An Zimo for four years.

Unexpectedly, An Zimo encountered a mysterious person there, received guidance, broke through his limits, awakened his bloodline, and became a once-in-a-century genius.

Later, his grandfather died. An Zimo was brought back to his mother's side, but a year later, she fell ill and died as well, leaving An Zimo to grow up alone.

After enduring countless hardships, the male lead would ultimately break through the chaos, rule the Vampire Clan, and become humanity's savior.

It was worth mentioning that the first Pureblood family An Zimo had sacrificed as cannon fodder in the novel was the An Family—An Xiang's own family.

An Xiang carefully reviewed the middle portion of the plot again and found that the novel never mentioned her existence.

"I'm not in this. Did you make a mistake?"

The system said, [Your family never valued you and never acknowledged your identity. They even concealed your existence, so it's normal that the novel didn't mention you.]

An Xiang fell silent, feeling as though a knife had pierced her heart.

Seeing her despondent, the system hurriedly comforted her. [It's all right. As long as you properly finish your part of the plot, I will naturally fulfill your wish when you return.]

An Xiang reviewed the plot once more and bit her lip. "Then... my whole family gets wiped out by the male lead. If I awaken my abilities, will they still... still be of any use?"

An Xiang might have been slow to react, but she was not stupid.

She had read many novels when she was bored. Someone like An Zimo had the standard script of an overpowered chosen one.

In a world where he was the protagonist, even if she obtained supreme power, she would only be destined to become cannon fodder in the end.

The system said, [You're so silly. By then, An Zimo will take revenge on your family for you, while you gain power. Isn't that the best of both worlds? Besides, An Zimo is a very kind male lead. You even share the same name as his mother. As long as you don't deliberately provoke him, he definitely won't come looking to provoke you.]

An Xiang fell into deep thought and was eventually persuaded.

She was softhearted. Even though she hated that family to her core, she might not be able to bring herself to kill them in the end. If someone else would do it for her, why not?

The system said, [You've successfully completed the first step. Next, all you need to do is focus on the pregnancy. Once the child is born, send him straight to your grandfather. According to the plot, you will fall ill and die a year later. The day you die will be the day you return to your body and awaken.]

It sounded quite easy.

But...

An Xiang, who knew nothing about the outside world and might not even be able to support herself, stroked her flat belly and sighed deeply.

But what if something went wrong, and the baby died in the womb?

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

In case you didn't understand, let me explain again. An Xiang's world is the world of the novel~

A melodramatic vampire world setting. Back to 2008 to experience the flavor of youth. Not really.

Content warning: I know fantasy romance readers love satisfying female leads, but this story is mainly a goofy family tale. The female lead is not a dominant heroine either, just like the summary says. I also think a flawed mother paired with a genius son would be very interesting.

So if that bothers you, just click the X. There's no need to specifically explain which personality traits you dislike. Fictional characters aren't living with you, so your dislike is useless.

Love you all.

Coming soon: Transmigrated as the Male Lead of a Tragic Romance's Younger Sister

Chu Li transmigrated into a novel, and it was a famous tragic romance series.

Her three older brothers were leaders among the male leads of tragic romances, each one ranked among the worst scumbags. Her eldest brother loved digging out female leads' uteruses; her second brother loved exterminating the female lead's entire family; her third brother was even more vicious, a future textbook example for criminal law.

When Chu Li transmigrated, her three brutal brothers were viciously beating a young man in the corner.

The young man was beaten until his head bled, utterly unable to fight back. In the end, he looked at them with a weak yet vicious expression and said, "...Just you wait."

Looking into those dark, sinister eyes, Chu Li suddenly remembered—this was the male lead of a comeback novel!! In the future, one stomp of his foot would make X City tremble three times!

Chu Li was stunned. What on earth was wrong with this world?!

*

A few days later, Chu Li hid in a corner and cried alone, successfully drawing affectionate concern from her three brothers.

"Little sister, were you bullied? Tell your brothers. We'll avenge you."

"No..." Chu Li sobbed and choked out her complaint. "Shen Zhi... pinned me against the wall and kissed me."

Without another word, they went to settle the score with Shen Zhi that very day.

The young man leaned against the wall, his expression cold and his gaze contemptuous. "I told you. Just you wait."

"..."

"Wait until you acknowledge me as your brother-in-law."

"...!"

Later, after Chu Li fell in love with Shen Zhi, she discovered that she had not transmigrated into a melodramatic tragic romance, nor a comeback novel, nor a sweet wall-pinning romance from Jinjiang. She had transmigrated into a little X-rated story from some website!

Chu Li: QAQ She hated this world where unspeakable things could happen everywhere.
