Born into wealth, Gu Tianjiu spends her days teasing cats and dogs, making trouble wherever she goes. She's notorious as the scourge of the capital.
Her family thinks: It's fine. She's just a girl, and the family can clean up after her. A little bad publicity doesn't matter. She'll get married in the end anyway.
Gu Tianjiu thinks so too.
But she never expected her knack for "making trouble" to be so impressive that she would accidentally sleep with the most promising young man in the capital, and the most powerful of his generation.
He's the eldest young master of the Yu family, a prized heir cherished by the entire clan of the equally distinguished Yu family since birth. He's brilliant and sharp, cool as ice, and destined to follow in his forebears' footsteps and become the foremost minister of his age.
There's one more thing: the Yu and Gu families have been friends for generations, and Young Master Yu is the older brother of Gu Tianjiu's best friend.
Young Master Yu has always been aloof and proud, looking down on wastrels like Gu Tianjiu, who coast through life on their family's wealth and spend their days eating, drinking, and having fun.
Gu Tianjiu looks down on him just as much. She often whispers to her best friend, gossiping about Yu Shaotang.
After accidentally sleeping with her nemesis, Gu Tianjiu immediately hikes up her skirt and runs. Luckily, circumstances change, and she leaves the capital for the frontier, putting a hundred thousand miles between herself and Yu Shaotang.

When Yu Shaotang learns he's pregnant, he suppresses his anger and travels a thousand miles to confront her.
But there she is, sitting by the glowing bonfire, comforting a delicate, tearful man on her left. A gentle, handsome young man sits on her right, while a burly man in front of her shows off his chest with his shirt off.
"..."
Yu Shaotang narrows his eyes and grits his teeth. He sends the three men away, finally getting the chance to speak with Gu Tianjiu alone.
Gu Tianjiu's sharp retort makes his blood boil.
He corners her against a wall, putting on a haughty front even as resentment fills his eyes. In a casual tone, he says, "I'm pregnant."
Gu Tianjiu doesn't believe him. If he's going to make something up, can't he come up with a reasonable excuse? Then Yu Shaotang takes her hand and places it on his abdomen.
"..."
Oh no! He's really pregnant!!!
P.S. 1. This is neither a matriarchy nor an ABO world, just an ordinary historical setting. Why the male lead can get pregnant will be explained later.
2. A proud, ruthless, untouchable beauty x a sunny, lively, growing young wastrel.
3. There will be a true-versus-fake heiress plotline, and the female lead is the fake heiress. She'll grow and change.
4. Set in a fictional world.
Theme: Love and growth
