Roguish jianghu top x refined gentleman bottom
Xue Wang loves money more than life itself. His greatest wish is to earn enough to build a house and marry a wife.
By chance, he saves a man who fell into the water, only to discover that he's the handsome man he'd once met briefly!
The beauty has lost his memory. His thatched hut is full of holes, and the night wind is cold. In a daze, he burrows into Xue Wang's arms...
Xue Wang: "...I'm no Liu Xiahui, immune to temptation..."
Later, Xue Wang thinks that the beauty has a lovely face, a fine figure, and a sweet temperament. Sure, he's a man and can't have children, but that's no big deal.
He slaps his thigh and tells him, "I'll help you find your family, and then I'll go to your house and ask for your hand in marriage!"
The man obediently agrees.
But when Xue Wang has spent all his savings and arrives at the man's house, beaming with joy, he is stunned.
Pointing at the three characters "Chancellor's Residence" on the plaque, Xue Wang asks in disbelief, "This is your home?!"
The man only smiles.
Xue Wang immediately turns and runs for his life!
Damn it, if he goes in there to ask for the man's hand, they'll beat him to death before he can even finish speaking!
After fleeing far and wide for a long time, Xue Wang sees Lingxi again on a rainy night. The man's slender waist is now swollen with pregnancy. He sits inside drinking tea, as if he has been waiting for Xue Wang for a long time.
When he sees Xue Wang, Lingxi rises, holding his belly, and smiles tenderly. "Husband..."
Shi Lingxi is the eldest son of the current chancellor and the Grand General of the Cavalry. He grew up adored and cherished, becoming both brilliant and beautiful, gentle as jade. But he doesn't want to spend his whole life sheltered by his fathers. He wants to make his own way in the world.
So he conceals his identity and ventures into danger, only to be ambushed, poisoned, thrown into the water, and left with amnesia!
When he wakes, the only person by his side is a young man named Xue Wang.
The young man says, "There's nothing in this world better than silver!" Yet again and again, he spends his entire fortune to buy expensive medicinal ingredients for Lingxi.
He complains, "What a pain!" Yet he cares for Lingxi night after night. When the poison brings on a high fever, he wraps the last blanket in the house around him. When the autumn wind bites, he even strips naked and uses his body heat to keep Lingxi warm!
Later, the young man says he'll help him find his family.
Lingxi has a complicated background, and countless people want him dead along the way. The young man scolds him, "How did you manage to make so many enemies?!" while repeatedly saving him from danger. Once, when they are ambushed because of a moment's carelessness, the young man uses his last bit of strength to shove Lingxi to safety, nearly losing his own life in the process!
Later, after being drugged, Lingxi can't even tell whether he's confused or lovestruck. He wraps his arms around the man's waist and refuses to let go, forcing him to lose control and succumb with him...
[Reading Guide]
1. The bottom is the son of the top and bottom from my previous book, The Cold Chancellor Is Pregnant with His Rival General's Child. Although this is a second-generation story, the two books are not closely connected plot-wise. Readers who don't like connected stories can treat them as entirely separate books.
2. The top isn't truly a rogue. He's only roguish toward the bottom.
3. Mpreg, one-on-one, both virgins, older top, happy ending.
4. The main story takes place during the pregnancy. The child-rearing is mostly in the extras. The setting is fictional, the system of government is a blend, and there isn't much political intrigue, so please don't overthink it.
Happy reading!
