[Domination and Conditioning] [Rivalry for Her Favor] [Love After Marriage] [Forced Marriage and Possession] [Female Lead Is Not Chaste, Male Lead Is a Virgin]
Mu Yuan has always known he was born into servitude. He wants to find a wife like his mother. She married only his father, and he likes a simple life. The two of them need only stay together for a lifetime.
After he rescued a woman from beneath a cliff, she told him, "To repay you for saving my life, I will marry you."
He found it hard to believe. The woman was clearly extraordinary, nothing like someone from his world.
His mother died unexpectedly at the village chief's house. On the day he planned to marry the chief's legitimate daughter, the entire chief's family was executed.
When he woke again, the woman had become the Crown Princess, and he was forced to become her favorite.
She pressed him beneath her, playing with the ornaments on his body.
His body trembled faintly. His hand clenched tightly inside his sleeve, and the corners of his eyes were tinged red.
"Be good. I've never done anything to make you uncomfortable, have I?"
Bonus Scene:
The Emperor: "Tell me, what's this about you having a favorite?"
Faced with her mother's warning, Wu Qingwu's lips curled into a mocking smile.
"Which favorite does Mother mean? I have many."
"Father was once my favorite, too."
The Emperor glared at Wu Qingwu, furious. "You must never fall in love with someone who doesn't love you!"
Wu Qingwu laughed. She had snatched her father away from his wedding, imprisoned him, and murdered the family of the woman who had been his childhood sweetheart, then claimed bandits were responsible. How could she not realize how ridiculous those words were?
"So what? I already have him. Who cares what he feels?"
"Mother, don't you think I'm right?"
Bonus Scene:
Later, Wu Qingwu ascended the throne. Mu Yuan ran away, and his true identity was revealed. In an instant, he became the Miaojiang Saint feared by everyone in the Central Plains.
The Wu Kingdom was beset by troubles at home and abroad. Mu Yuan arrived with his Gu insects. "I'll help you resolve this crisis, then you can marry me openly and honorably."
A Miao servant asked him, "The Emperor toyed with you so cruelly before. Did you never want her dead?"
Mu Yuan: "I'm making her wish she were dead."
The servant watched the young master compete for the Emperor's favor: "..."
Mu Yuan: "She's my Gu insect now. I have to take good care of her."
The servant: "..."

[Calm Older Sister vs. Shy Guy]
[Antisocial Woman vs. Self-Persuading Man]
Lan Xinyu enrolled at Nanhua Agricultural University, a 211 university near her home. Her mother wanted her to study law, while her psychiatrist recommended fish farming.
Everyone at Nanhua Agricultural University knew that a genius had appeared in the 2025 class at the School of Law. On the first day of school, she dissected every fish on the sixth floor of the Aquaculture Department, then threw them all out the windows.
A graduate student who had been unable to graduate for nearly five years because of the data requirements went from sobbing one moment to weeping with joy the next, after receiving a lifetime high-paying contract from the Lan Group.
Onlookers just thought she was another person who had gone crazy from studying aquaculture.
She landed an internship at a top law firm during her freshman year, all because of her mother's social status. In other words, she was a nepotism hire.
She thought she wasn't suited to be there. In her eyes, someone like Yang Yugu, a junior who had won award after award, was the sort of person who deserved a place there.
By her sophomore year, Lan Xinyu had taught herself the entire law curriculum, passed the bar, and won a case that made her famous overnight. She became a campus celebrity: from a wealthy and powerful family, a double-degree prodigy, and so popular that she overtook the aloof campus heartthrob Yang Yugu in the popularity polls, becoming everyone’s darling.
Later
"Lan Xinyu, why didn't you go on that blind date? You stood them up."
"I wasn't going." Lan Xinyu looked at Yang Yugu. "I've got a mermaid to raise."
"..."
She hung up.
Lan Xinyu met his gaze and said coolly, "You blush so easily..."
Yang Yugu buried his face against her neck and gave a muffled, "Mm."
Yang Yugu told his friends: Before she knew him, she saw the trophies he'd won at school and kept praising him. She said she wanted to meet him, saw his name, and praised his graceful beauty and otherworldly charm.
Yang Yugu: "She secretly fell for me."
His friend: "Do you know what you look like right now?"
Yang Yugu: "?"
His friend: "She was just curious about you, but you went and fell head over heels..."
Content Warnings:
1. Matriarchal world, female-led society with male pregnancy, and an alternate setting. Read without overthinking it. The legal plot may not be accurate, since the author's law-school friend has gone missing.
2. The female lead has an antisocial personality. Don't read if that's not for you. Apart from being unable to act cute or cook, she can do everything. She's a ruthless character, a genuinely bad person.
3. The male lead and the second male lead are biological brothers, and both love the female lead.
4. The male lead seems aloof, but in reality he blushes very, very easily. He'll get earrings, a navel piercing, and other things for the female lead's kinks. Don't read if that's not for you.
Theme: Fate isn't in the hexagrams. It's in the hands clasped tightly together.
