Wu Yu transmigrated into the body of a noble family’s eldest son, who was supposed to marry in place of his younger brother. He was married to an unfavored, lazy prince and bound to a husband-killing system.
System: Poison your husband and you can get whatever you want!
Wu Yu: There’s actually a deal this good?
Wu Yu went all out, but his husband, Yu Mingheng, only got livelier. At night, he even had the nerve to pin Wu Yu beneath him.
Wu Yu was baffled. Hadn’t he poisoned him? When was his husband going to die?
*
Yu Mingheng seemed like a lazy prince, but was actually a workaholic. To hide his ambitions, he married a fool of a male consort.
The fool claimed to be a master chef, but the cola chicken wings he served were green.
The braised pig’s trotters were black.
The medicinal soup was purple.
Yu Mingheng glanced impassively at the pretty fool beside him, giggling away, and wondered if he had ever eaten normal food.
With colors like these, did they look anything like they weren’t poisoned?

Wu Yu suspected there was something wrong with the poison the System had given him, because not only was Yu Mingheng still alive, he was getting stronger.
One day, Wu Yu got out of bed holding his aching back and demanded, “What kind of medicine did you give me, exactly?”
System: So sorry, dear. In response to the latest directives, we accidentally sent you [fertility-inducing colorant].
Wu Yu blinked in confusion. “What the heck is that?”
System: Commonly known as aphrodisiacs in various colors.
Wu Yu: “...”
Looking at his steadily growing belly, Wu Yu immediately decided to run away with the baby.
But just as he climbed over a courtyard wall, Yu Mingheng, who had risen from prince to emperor, smiled faintly. “Come down. It’s dangerous up there.”
Wu Yu stammered, trying to refuse, but his foot slipped and he fell into Yu Mingheng’s arms.
Yu Mingheng caught him and thought: Fool. You couldn’t learn to poison me, and you can’t even learn to run away.
He’d better protect him himself.
...But after all that protecting, why did the fool’s belly seem to be getting bigger?
