My Late Wife's Return Doesn't Feel Quite Right

[Little Couple Alternate-Universe Updates in Full Swing]

1.

Xiao Yuanji's entire family, loyal to the end, died unjustly. He returned to the capital for one purpose only: revenge and rebellion.

Depose the crown prince, marry a princess, produce royal heirs, hold the emperor hostage, and control the court.

Deposing the crown prince was no challenge, and he married the princess soon enough.

The problem was producing royal heirs. His wife, the eldest princess, was breathtakingly beautiful, but she was frail and sickly, born with a weak constitution. She was also timid and meek, and resisted any contact or intimacy with him.

Fortunately, the princess was outwardly weak but exceptionally clever, and helped Xiao Yuanji greatly.

As for children, there was no need to rush.

2.

Qi Mingjing was a man, but he had spent seventeen years disguised as the eldest princess.

Somewhere along the way, a coarse, brutish warrior ruined his escape plan, forced him to marry as a princess, and even expected them to make their marriage official and have children!

The next day, Qi Mingjing sought out the imperial physician and got a medical record stating that he was "born with a weak constitution and unable to bear children." He also found his "princess consort" ten or so respectable young women to keep in the rear courtyard.

Have children! As long as he didn't have to do it himself, Xiao Yuanji could have as many as he wanted!

Unexpectedly, the rear courtyard was cleared out that very day. The menace barged into his room while he was bathing.

"Your Highness, what is the meaning of this?"

"If this is the reason, then so be it if we have no heirs."

Qi Mingjing clenched the gauze curtain with his wet hand, afraid he would come in. "Fine, just go outside first!"

3.

Xiao Yuanji wanted to use Qi Mingjing to gain leverage over the imperial bloodline. Qi Mingjing turned the tables, using Xiao Yuanji as cover to block the transfer of power, lay his plans, and fake his death to escape, eventually taking the throne himself.

His trusted aide urged him to deal with Xiao Yuanji soon, or he would become a grave threat sooner or later. But when Qi Mingjing heard that Xiao Yuanji had coughed up blood from grief over his late wife, he hesitated.

Later, when the army returned to the capital, Xiao Yuanji ignored all propriety and stared fixedly at the new emperor, whose face was identical to his late wife's.

It was not until the middle of the night that Qi Mingjing was locked on the imperial bed, a large hand resting over his belly.

"Back then, my wife claimed she was unable to bear children."

"Since Your Majesty can even reverse the roles of man and woman, surely having an heir is nothing. I would like to try."

Coming Soon: They All Went Mad After the Real Young Master Died

In the interstellar age, humanity's genes mutated and the population evolved as a whole. Those with soul beasts were held in the highest regard.

Yan Lan was weak and had no soul beast, so everyone looked down on him.

To get a good-looking report card, he pushed himself to exhaustion in physical education and passed out. When he woke, he heard his mother apologizing to the teacher with a forced smile: "I'm sorry. My child has been useless since he was little. It's his own fault for overestimating himself and causing you trouble."

He tried hard to find a way to cure himself. At the hospital, he heard his father complain to the doctor: "Can we just not treat him? This child is a burden to me."

One day, people from the Imperial Star arrived, claiming to be his biological parents, who had been searching for him for fourteen years. It turned out he'd been switched by mistake.

He arrived at his new home full of anticipation. His two older brothers were friendly, his parents were loving, and the adopted son who had been switched with him was considerate toward him. He thought he was loved.

Until the adopted son "sent a message by mistake": Bro, if we replace his blood, can my soul beast evolve?

On his birthday, his eldest brother wouldn't let him show up: We haven't announced to the public that you're part of the Yan family yet.

Later, his adoptive parents went bankrupt, and he was thrown out of the house. His loving mother sneered at him: You really thought your parents managed to switch the children successfully?

Yan Lan fled in panic, only to be caught by his second brother and thrown into a laboratory, where he was used as material to strengthen his younger brother's soul beast.

Alone and helpless in the lab, he cried until his face was covered in tears, but still couldn't beg his second brother to spare his life.

Only later did they learn that Yan Lan was the true blood of the Yan family, the youngest son they should have cherished above all else.

The Yan family shattered when they learned the truth.

The imperial heir was a rabid dog. That was the highest praise his enemies could give him.

Because his soul power was too strong, the imperial heir was often in a berserk state. Along the border, people said, "You'd be better off provoking a dog than the imperial heir."

The imperial heir used to be normal.

Two years ago, a little soul beast suddenly appeared by his side. It was tiny, no bigger than a palm, and could hide in his pocket by day. At night, it turned into a boy, whom the imperial heir hid under his covers.

As long as the little soul beast was with him, the imperial heir was mentally stable.

Two years later, the little soul beast suddenly disappeared.

The imperial heir searched every inch of the empire's territory but couldn't find him. In his dreams, he saw the boy the soul beast had become, bound to a cold operating table and cut into pieces.

The boy's round eyes were full of fear and tears as he cried out to him: "Save me!!"

The imperial heir's eyes nearly split with rage. Every night in his dreams, he watched the boy grow weaker and weaker, until he lost all signs of life.

Later, one day, the imperial heir saw his soul beast boy again.

He had grown taller, and his eyes were narrower than before, with a new, sharp, striking beauty.

When the imperial heir suggested taking him away, the boy propped his chin up and tapped the imperial heir's chest with his toe. "Lots of people here like me. Why should I go with you?"
