Pregnant With My Rival’s Child

Chi Yao lived a tragic life marked by isolation and betrayal. Born an illegitimate child, he was despised by his father and stepmother, who viewed him as a burden rather than a son. His only emotional anchor was Shen Ling, a man Chi Yao worshipped as his "white moonlight," unaware that Shen Ling was manipulating him for amusement and financial gain. Chi Yao’s so-called friends were equally parasitic, exploiting his wealth while mocking his loyalty behind his back. When Chi Yao discovered he was pregnant, he learned the father was unknown, having been drugged and assaulted months prior. His family called him a monster, and his friends wished him dead. Suffering from late-stage stomach cancer and a deteriorating body, Chi Yao died alone in a hospital, his fetus still inside him. In his final moments, he regretted his blind devotion to Shen Ling and wished for a second chance to live freely.

Chi Yao awoke in his younger body, two years in the past, confirming he had been reborn. His first act was to reject his past self’s lifestyle. He quit smoking, threw away his alcohol, and attended a barbecue gathering where he had previously been humiliated. This time, he confronted his fake friends, exposing their greed and refusing to be their ATM. He also encountered his rival, Fu Rong, a cold and powerful man who had once been his romantic competitor for Shen Ling’s affection. In his previous life, Chi Yao had hated Fu Rong, but now he felt a strange gratitude toward him, though he could not yet understand why. Chi Yao’s demeanor shifted from submissive to coldly observant, and he began to see Shen Ling’s manipulative nature clearly.

Determined to change his fate, Chi Yao sought medical attention and confirmed he had a benign stomach tumor that could be removed, preventing the cancer that killed him in his past life. He also discovered he possessed a rare condition allowing him to carry children, a secret he kept hidden. To investigate the men who had drugged him in his previous life, Chi Yao took a job as a waiter at an entertainment club where the incident had occurred. He observed the same group of men plotting to assault another victim. Chi Yao intervened by starting a fire to evacuate the hotel, saving the potential victim and gathering evidence of their crimes. During this time, he had a chance encounter with Fu Rong, who was holding a child. The child, Fu Rong’s niece, was drawn to Chi Yao’s beauty, causing a brief, tender moment that unsettled Chi Yao, reminding him of the child he had lost.

Chi Yao’s plan to catch the men who assaulted him required him to become the bait again. He drove to the location where he had been kidnapped in his past life and allowed himself to be drugged and taken to a hotel room. As the men prepared to assault and blackmail him, Fu Rong arrived unexpectedly. Fu Rong had been monitoring the hotel due to suspicious activity. He brutally subdued the attackers and discovered Chi Yao on the bed. Chi Yao pretended to be unconscious, hiding his awareness. Fu Rong, realizing Chi Yao was the man he had slept with in the past life, felt a complex mix of emotions. He took Chi Yao home, destroyed the incriminating photos, and kept one of Chi Yao’s earrings as a memento. Chi Yao woke up alone, realizing Fu Rong was the father of his child from his previous life. Instead of confronting him, Chi Yao decided to use this knowledge to his advantage, planning to "borrow" Fu Rong’s genes in the future to have the child he had always wanted, setting the stage for a complicated entanglement between the two rivals.
