Summary

Yu Wei has transmigrated into a book. The good news: He is now a wealthy young heir with a massive inheritance worth billions. The bad news: He is the older brother of the “vicious Beta cannon fodder.” In the original plot, the protagonist eventually utters the dreaded line, “It’s dawn—it’s time for the Yu family to go bankrupt.” Decades of family hard work will vanish in an instant, leaving Yu Wei’s family drowning in debt, begging on the streets, and meeting a tragic end. In his past life, Yu Wei worked himself to death for a measly 3,000-yuan salary, literally collapsing on the job. He’s had enough of suffering. In this life, he is determined to protect the Yu family business, save his cannon fodder brother, and live a life of absolute luxury. There’s just one problem: He never actually read the book. He only overheard a colleague rambling about it for half an hour during lunch—and he wasn’t even paying attention. He has no idea who the protagonist is, how the plot unfolds, or even the basic rules of this world. His plan? Find the protagonist by keeping a close eye on his younger brother. While searching for the lead, Yu Wei’s “heat” hits him out of nowhere. This is the moment he realizes just how different this world is from his old one. It’s also his first real taste of what being an Omega means and the price of that realization is his “innocence.” Once the heat passes and his condition stabilizes, Yu Wei scrambles to find his clothes scattered across the floor. Before fleeing the scene of the “crime,” he catches a quick glimpse of the person sleeping soundly on the bed. He tries to treat it as a one-night accident, a “dog bite” he can just forget. But reality hits him harder. As time passes, his stomach starts to grow. At first, he thinks he’s just gaining weight. He tries dieting, but his belly only gets bigger while the rest of him stays the same. Within a few months, he’s rocking a full-blown beer belly. Terrified that he has a tumor, he goes to the hospital for a checkup. The doctor tells him it’s not a tumor. Yu Wei sighs in relief, until the doctor cheerfully congratulates him on being pregnant. Yu Wei blacks out on the spot. He can’t treat it like a “dog bite” anymore… because dogs don’t get you pregnant. Fine, he’ll have the kid. He can hide it and raise the baby in secret. But then he remembers: the original Yu Wei has a fiancé through an arranged marriage a man he’s never even held hands with. Yu Wei: How am I supposed to explain to my fiancé that I’ve mastered the art of as*xual reproduction? ***** Summary: Cannon Fodder Omega vs. Villain Alpha Theme: Stay away from the yandere; cherish your life.
