Imperial Marshal Feng Yu is known as “a walking iceberg.” Cold, taciturn, and indifferent, he is the man no one in the entire star system wants to marry more than anyone else.
One day, while on a mission, he rescues a mysterious young man from a smuggling ship. The stranger is holding an egg, his eyes red, looking soft and easy to bully.
Feng Yu thinks: Trouble.
A few days later, the egg hatches.
A fluffy gray-and-white baby penguin waddles out, pecks at Feng Yu's military boot, then dives into the young man's arms.
Feng Yu: ...
Even more trouble: someone with too much time on their hands uploads a video of him raising a baby to the internet.
Overnight, the entire star system goes wild.
“Holy crap, the marshal's raising a baby?!”
“What kind of fluffy creature is that? It's so cute!”
“Who's that handsome guy holding the baby next to him?”
“So the marshal secretly got married and had a kid???”
Feng Yu is forced to start a livestream to clear things up. “First, the baby isn't mine. Second, neither is the person.”
The comments: “So you haven't won him over yet? Got it.”
Feng Yu: ...
Later, netizens notice that the cold-faced marshal's gaze toward the young man is getting more and more suspicious.
“Girls, did he just smile?”
“He put a jacket over Niannian!!!”
“The little dumpling sat between them. Why do they look like a family of three?!”
Later still, in front of hundreds of millions of viewers, Feng Yu holds the little dumpling and says to Jiang Nian:
“My life used to be all about the battlefield. Now, I have you two.”
