[Two male leads] [Everyone's favorite + sworn enemies + raising children + both each other's first and only]
[Child-loving scholar bottom x loyal, puppy-like general top who is his sworn enemy]
After dying unexpectedly, Shen Wanghe is reborn in ancient times and grows up alongside his sworn enemy, Lu Jingyan. Later, one pursues a civil career while the other takes up arms.
Shen Wanghe doesn't have many hobbies. He just likes picking up children. When he was little, he coaxed his childhood friend home and made him his bride. As he grew older, he started taking in children too.
When he picked up the fourth one, his parents tearfully begged him to stop: "This is the last one. Don't pick up any more, son. We really can't afford to raise another..."
He lovingly raises all four children to adulthood. One makes a name for himself in business, one establishes a secret guard bureau, one builds an intelligence network reaching across the court, and one joins the army, determined to replace Lu Jingyan.
"Big brother, don't abandon us. We'll be good."
"Big brother, we know how to take better care of you than Shen Jingyan does."
"Big brother..."
Lu Jingyan keeps Shen Wanghe close at his side, looking darkly at the people surrounding him. In a low voice, he says,
"A-He, look at them. Every one of them is up to no good. How about we get married? That would put an end to all their hopes."
