[Pregnancy and childbirth + melodrama + size difference]
Everyone in the capital knew that the two young masters of the Su family, the Minister of the Secretariat's household, had dark hair, clear eyes, and otherworldly beauty. They were not only strikingly handsome, but exceptionally talented as well. All the noble families in the capital took pride in marrying a Su son!
Who could have guessed that the Minister of the Secretariat would fall from power overnight? When the decree accusing the family of treason was issued, Su Lanning became a government courtesan, while his older brother was sent to a military camp. The rest of the Su family were confiscated as property and exiled...
Only Lin Cheng, the Su family's adopted son, was left untouched.
The next time Su Lanning saw Lin Cheng was in a brothel.
Lin Cheng was surrounded by a group of spoiled young masters, who jeered and cheered as they led him toward the red-draped stage.
On the raised platform, Su Lanning wore only a thin, gauzy robe. Two burly men had forced him down onto the stage, and his clothes barely concealed his body!
He had viewed Lin Cheng as his last lifeline.
But the man merely lifted his chin and coldly spat out one word: "Undress."
Su Lanning stared at him in disbelief!
The young man who had once been his childhood sweetheart had become the envy of everyone, the powerful and exalted General Dingyuan. But he hadn't come to save him!
Lin Cheng had acknowledged a traitor as his father, done countless evil deeds, and risen to power by trampling on the bones and blood of the Su family. And now he even wanted to violate his body!
Pinned beneath him, Su Lanning struggled desperately, but to no avail. All he could do was glare furiously at the man before him. "Lin Cheng, my family treated you well!"
Lin Cheng's expression didn't change. He simply bent down and sealed Su Lanning's lips with his own!
Later, the Su family's name was cleared.
With his big belly, Su Lanning reclined against a beauty couch. Seeing Lin Cheng's face tense with worry, he smiled slyly and stretched out one long, slender, pale foot...
Then lazily uttered one word: "Undress."
Lin Cheng: "..."
Lin Cheng: "You're pregnant..."
Su Lanning: "Quiet. I said undress!"
[Reader's Guide]:
1. Melodramatic, with pregnancy and childbirth, lots of pregnancy, monogamous pairing, happy ending, some angst.
2. The top and bottom are mutually chaste. The bottom's first time is with the top, and he only sleeps with the top afterward.
3. There is a misunderstanding between the leads. The top was not responsible for the bottom's family being confiscated as property and exiled. This will be explained in the story, and the misunderstanding will be resolved later. Please don't take the blurb out of context.
4. Fictional setting, with a mixture of official titles. There isn't much political intrigue, so please don't overanalyze it.
Happy reading!
