Time ticked by, second by second.
Finally!
A nurse emerged from the doctor's office.
"Lin Li, Mr. Lin, right?" The nurse approached Lin Li.
Before Lin Li could nod, Lin Chang quickly stepped forward.
"Well? Are the test results out?" Lin Chang asked anxiously.
"And you are…?" The nurse looked at Lin Chang in confusion.
Lin Chang hurriedly replied, "I'm Lin Li's father, Lin Chang. I'm the one who brought him in for the examination."
"Mm." The nurse nodded. "The results are ready. Follow me inside."
She led the Lin family into the doctor's office.
Lin Li's test results had already been printed out.
The doctor stared at the report, his brows tightly furrowed.
"Doctor, what's the verdict?" Lin Chang pressed urgently. "How are my son's sperm?"
Lin Li clenched his fists.
Necrosis!
It had to be necrosis!
He had been to the hospital countless times before, undergone endless tests, taken mountains of medication—yet every result was the same.
They all said he had no sperm left, that he was completely sterile, with no chance of recovery.
The doctor gave Lin Li a meaningful look.
"Your son's sperm…"
He sighed. "They're all necrotic. Not a single viable sperm can be found."
"What?" Lin Chang's face turned pale.
Exactly the same as his own condition!
"Doctor, is there any chance of a cure?" Lin Chang pressed again.
"No." The doctor shook his head. "Your son's reproductive system no longer has the capacity to produce sperm. With current medical technology, recovery is impossible. Moreover, very few researchers are working in this field, so significant breakthroughs are unlikely in the near future."
In other words.
For the rest of his life, Lin Li's fertility might never return.
The last glimmer of hope in Lin Chang's heart was utterly extinguished.
Lin Li could no longer carry on the Lin family bloodline. And thanks to the medicine Jiang Shuqin had forced him to drink, he couldn't even seek out another woman to bear him a child.
That left only Lin Xuan.
Would he really have to beg Lin Xuan to return to the Lin family and continue the lineage?
Just thinking about Lin Xuan's attitude toward him filled Lin Chang with resistance.
His expression darkened as he glared at Lin Li.
"Let's go." Lin Chang abruptly stood up.
Out in the hospital corridor.
Lin Chang fixed Lin Li with a cold stare. "Speak! When exactly did this happen?"
"Before I went abroad for the exchange program," Lin Li murmured, lips pressed tight.
"So early!"
Rage flashed in Lin Chang's eyes. With a loud "smack," he slapped Lin Li hard across the face again.
Lin Li endured the blow without a word.
"Turned into a eunuch, completely sterile! Lin Li! Why didn't you tell me sooner?"
If he had known earlier.
He could have found another woman to bear him a son, ensuring the Lin bloodline wouldn't die out.
But now, it was all over!
Nearby, nurses hiding around the corner eavesdropped in shock.
"Holy crap! He really is sterile! First a eunuch, now no sperm—who the hell did this to Lin Li? That's brutal."
"Serves him right! Who told him to trick someone into marriage? I heard men who become eunuchs usually turn into total psychos. If his fiancée married him, who knows how he'd torment her."
The nurses buzzed with excitement upon learning Lin Li was sterile.
One even secretly asked her hacker friend to leak the news online.
Soon.
#Lin Li Not Only a Eunuch but Also Sterile# shot to the top of Weibo's trending list.
Douyin (TikTok) also pushed the story relentlessly.
Countless netizens reveled in Lin Li's misfortune.
Tears streamed down Lin Li's face as he faced Lin Chang's interrogation. "I'm sorry, Dad. I was too scared to tell you."
"Lin Chang." Jiang Shuqin stepped in protectively. "Isn't it natural for Li'er to hide this from you? Becoming a eunuch is traumatic enough, and you still hit him! What kind of father are you?"
Lin Qingwan frowned. "Dad, whether Li'er is a eunuch or sterile doesn't really affect our family, does it? He's the one suffering. Why are you reacting so strongly?"
"Yeah." Lin Qingxiu nodded. "The way you're acting, anyone would think Li'er is your biological son, and you're freaking out about the family lineage."
At this, a flicker of panic crossed Lin Chang's eyes.
"Don't talk nonsense!" he snapped, flushing with anger. "Li'er was born shortly after your mother and I got married. How could I possibly have a son that old!"
Lin Qingxiu shrank back. "Dad, I was just speculating. Why are you so defensive?"
Lin Qingwan and Lin Qingyan exchanged puzzled glances.
Lin Chang clenched his fists.
They must never find out Lin Li is his real son!
"Enough."
He took a deep breath. "I have company matters to attend to. I'm leaving."
As he walked away, he couldn't even bear to look at Lin Li.
Lin Li tightened his fists.
Lin Chang must be thinking of bringing Lin Xuan back now.
No, he couldn't just sit back and wait!
After repeatedly bribing people and deceiving Lin Chang, his standing in his father's eyes had surely plummeted.
Lin Xuan had set his expulsion from the family as a condition for returning—and Lin Chang would agree.
No way.
He had to make Lin Chang realize he couldn't just cast him aside.
Suddenly, Lin Li thought of Wang Yajun.
Right!
He could ask his mother for help!
Jiang Shuqin helped Lin Li up, her voice tender. "Li'er, don't mind your father's attitude. No matter what happens, your three sisters and I will always treat you the same."
"Mm." Lin Li nodded heavily.
He looked at Jiang Shuqin with gratitude. "Thank you, Mom."
Jiang Shuqin smiled. "We're family. No need for thanks. Come, let's go home."
She supported Lin Li as they left.
Behind them, nurses continued gossiping excitedly.
"This is hilarious—a eunuch who's also sterile! I wonder who he pissed off to deserve this."
"I bet he'll become a hot commodity for certain gay men now."
Unaware that the Lin family was passing by, they kept discussing Lin Li's predicament without restraint.
young master of the Shen family—a figure of immense power and wealth beyond measure—and awakened the "Destined Ultimate Villain System"! His starting scenario? Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement. The divine doctor arrogantly taunts: "What does your Shen family have besides a bit of stinking money? You're not even worthy of tying Qingxue's shoelaces!" Shen Fei just smiled. He completely defied the usual script: "Fine, I agree to break off the engagement. Also, notify the finance department to withdraw all investments from the Su family." Minutes later, with its capital chain severed, the Su Group teetered on the brink of bankruptcy! The once aloof and proud ice queen CEO was thrown into utter panic. That very night, she went to Shen Fei's villa, casting aside all dignity to beg and plead desperately... From then on, in this world teeming with Sons of Destiny, Shen Fei embarked on a path of extreme dimensional suppression! A mountain-descending divine doctor? Peerless medical skills? Shen Fei: "Reporting you for practicing medicine without a license! I'll gladly take your ancient medicinal cauldron and twin sister assassins." The Crooked-Smiling Dragon King? Commanding a hundred thousand soldiers with a single order? Shen Fei: "Illegal assembly and suspected treason! Let a fleet of attack helicopters sanitize the area and teach you what the state apparatus really means!" A reborn tycoon? Knows all the golden opportunities of the next decade? Shen Fei: "A trillion in capital to reverse and pump the stock market, making you blow your margin and jump on the very first day of your rebirth!" What Chosen Ones? What bearers of Heavenly Fortune? In Shen Fei's eyes, they're all just chives (i.e., suckers/marks) waiting to be harvested! Shen Fei: "Sorry, but as the Destined Ultimate Villain, I don't play by the rules of honor. I only play the game of dimensional suppression."
agon king storylines. At the start, I obtained the "Ultimate Lackey System" - the more I act as a lackey, the stronger I become. What else could I do? I chose to become the personal henchman of the ultimate villain, Su Muwan. I provoke all sorts of chosen ones, snatch away their opportunities, and commit every evil deed imaginable. You ask who's behind me? Hmph! You're not worthy of knowing my lady's name! ...... ....... I am Su Muwan, the eldest daughter of the Su family. Since childhood, I've possessed extraordinary talent in martial arts, which led to my arrogant and domineering personality in my past life. I was even foolish enough to repeatedly challenge those favored by heaven, ultimately resulting in a tragic death. In this life, I must behave and absolutely cannot walk the same path again!! However... SLAP!! "So you're the Dragon King, huh?!" When I saw my little lackey swagger over and viciously slap the Dragon King who was hiding his identity, I felt my heart sink. Su Muwan's suspended heart finally died as she watched Qin Luo, her utterly loyal lackey, standing before her. She fainted on the spot from shock. Heaven is determined to destroy me!! (Pure love 1v1, light-hearted, no angst, single female lead, villain, reincarnation, lackey)
for mindless slaughter, this isn't for you.] My name is Ye Shu, and I'm a transmigrator. It seems I'm supposed to be the protagonist, but that feels pretty unlikely. This world has been invaded by a system. The antagonists on the other side have suddenly become pure, flawless saints. The female leads have been force-fed the so-called "original plot," making them think they've been reborn. Now, everyone thinks I'm scum. Including the old lady in my ring. And here I am, in the Monster Beast Mountain Range, braising pork. To put my situation in perspective— It's as if, the moment Xiao Yan stepped into the Monster Beast Mountain Range, the Soul Emperor already knew he would become the Flame Emperor, and Yao Lao had been turned to the enemy's side. I have nothing right now. Oh wait, that's not true. I do have a white-haired loli child-bride who's the Heavenly Dao, and her only skill is acting cute. So, tell me guys... what are my chances of making it to the end?
rowess are unmatched, commanding a million-strong army! Yet, the Emperor wants to depose him for the sake of a false prince? Hold on, are you throwing me into some female-oriented romance plot?

The False Prince: "Although I am not the biological son, Father and Mother love me more. The throne should be mine!" The Female Lead: "Qin Xiao, you are the Emperor, and I am a commoner. If you wish to marry me, you must abdicate. Otherwise, you will never have me!" The Empress: "After we divorce, you must give me half the empire!" The Transmigrator Consort: "You worthless Emperor, why should I kneel to you? All men are equal—I advise you to be kind!" The Great General: "The enemy general is my childhood sweetheart. For her sake, I willingly abandon the frontier defenses!" The Retired Emperor: "Although Yu'er was adopted, I prefer him. Qin Xiao, you should abdicate and let him become Emperor!" ... Very well! So this is how you want to play? Facing this twisted world of female-oriented tropes, Qin Xiao grins and raises his hand to unleash—the Nine Clan Extraction Technique! I am the Emperor. Why would I bother reasoning with you? Seal the gates! Leave none alive!
