Pregnant With The Male Lead’s Great Uncle’s Baby [Interstellar]

Ling Shaoze, a terminally ill young man with a congenital heart condition, dies and transmigrates into the body of a cannon fodder character in an interstellar melodramatic novel titled "The Interstellar Evil Young Master's White Moonlight Is Reborn." In the original story, the protagonist Song Qinghe is reborn to seek revenge on his cheating boyfriend and best friend, eventually choosing He Yuteng, a notorious playboy, as his new partner. Ling Shaoze in the novel was a wealthy but foolish junior who pursued He Yuteng obsessively, only to be used as a stand-in for Song Qinghe and ultimately die in a car accident while pregnant with He Yuteng's child. Upon waking at a banquet hosted by the He family, Ling Shaoze realizes he has landed in this dangerous plot. He is wearing a white tuxedo and has consumed wine laced with a potent aphrodisiac known as CY5211. Determined to avoid the tragic fate of the original character and escape the toxic entanglement with He Yuteng, Ling Shaoze resolves to flee the situation entirely.

Seeking refuge, Ling Shaoze stumbles upon Marshal He Yiyuan, a legendary and cold-hearted military figure who is He Yuteng's great-uncle. Mistaking the Marshal for an attractive stranger rather than a dangerous aristocrat, the drugged Ling Shaoze aggressively propositions him. He Yi, initially repulsed by the boy's shameless advance, finds himself unexpectedly aroused by Ling Shaoze's boldness and beauty. Despite his conservative views on relationships and his intention to remain detached, He Yi succumbs to his physical desires and takes Ling Shaoze to the estate's infirmary. Their encounter is intense and marks the first time both men have experienced such passion. Afterward, He Yi demands that Ling Shaoze take responsibility, proposing a monogamous relationship, which terrifies the freedom-loving Ling Shaoze. Fearing commitment and the Marshal's overwhelming presence, Ling Shaoze blocks He Yi's contact and decides to transfer universities to a remote border planet, Shuilan Star, hoping to put as much distance as possible between himself and his pursuer.

Ling Shaoze successfully arranges his transfer to Shuilan University and books a luxury suite on a spaceship bound for the Violet Star District, intending to continue his journey to the outer borders. However, he discovers that He Yi has followed him, having tracked his movements through his personal assistant and financial records. He Yi, disguised and refusing to accept rejection, reveals that he knows Ling Shaoze's past infatuation with He Yuteng and is determined to win him over. He issues an ultimatum: Ling Shaoze must remain exclusive to him for one year, or He Yi will punish anyone else he sleeps with. Terrified yet intrigued by the Marshal's power and charisma, Ling Shaoze reluctantly agrees to the terms but seeks an outlet for his social and romantic desires within the virtual world.

With his real-life movements monitored, Ling Shaoze turns to "Eternal Legend Online," a highly anticipated full-dive holographic MMORPG set to launch soon. He creates a character named "Domineering Lingling" and chooses the Priest class, aiming to flirt with top-ranked players in the game without violating his agreement with He Yi. He befriends a fellow student, Pang Wenguang, who shares his enthusiasm for the game. Meanwhile, He Yi, unable to let go, also purchases a military-grade gaming pod linked to his own, allowing him to track Ling Shaoze's in-game activities. He joins the virtual world under a different identity, determined to infiltrate Ling Shaoze's digital life and understand the boy who captured his heart. The story establishes a dynamic where Ling Shaoze attempts to live a double life—avoiding the Marshal in reality while seeking validation and romance in the game, all while He Yi closes the net from both the physical and virtual realms.

The narrative sets the stage for a complex romance involving class differences, a significant age gap, and the clash between Ling Shaoze's desire for autonomy and He Yi's possessive devotion. Ling Shaoze's background as a transmigrator gives him knowledge of the plot's dangers, driving his frantic efforts to escape the original storyline's tragedies. He Yi's status as the Empire's strongest Marshal provides both the threat and the protection that defines their relationship. As the open beta of Eternal Legend approaches, the two men are poised to interact in the virtual space, where Ling Shaoze's charm and He Yi's persistence will likely collide, further complicating their already tense dynamic.
