I’ll See Her Again in Ten Years (Matriarchy)

Xiao Huaiyue saw her again at the Lantern Festival. She stood high above on a tower, her every feature radiating the bearing of an emperor.

He hurriedly lowered his head just before their eyes were about to meet.

Back then, he had disappeared while carrying her child. He never thought they would meet again.

He had intended to get the medicine and leave, but instead, he was set up and sent to her bed.

"Get out! Who let you in?"

Her furious voice rang out from beyond the heavy curtains, striking his ears.

His cheeks burned. He picked up his clothes and lowered his head to leave, but as he brushed past her, a warm hand wound around his waist.

"Yue Nu, I've been searching for you everywhere."

"If you dare run away again, I won't hesitate to break your legs and keep you locked up by my side."

After ten years, Xiao Huaiyue once again tasted a pleasure that shook him to his core.

Qing Jianshu had done two outrageous things in her life. One was stealing her elder sister's fiance, and the other was leaving the imperial harem empty after that person disappeared.

For ten years, countless people had sent her lookalikes, but she had never been moved.

Until one day, they once again disregarded her wishes and sent someone to her bed. She thought it was yet another person willing to risk their life for power, but instead, she saw someone she had believed she would never see again.

His features were still the same as ten years ago, only he had lost that cool and proud air.

"Do you still hate me?"

Qing Jianshu forcefully lifted his chin and made him drink strong liquor, watching his face flush as he choked.

"This time, you won't get away."

Female-led story, women in power, male pregnancy, one-on-one, both leads' first time.

Alternate setting with original worldbuilding.
