The Leader of the Righteous Path Says I'm Carrying His Child

[New story, After Marrying My Rival by Contract, is looking for bookmarks! Blurb at the bottom!]

Shu Yan never imagined that the number one cultivator of the righteous path, the omnipotent Zhenren Xuan Qing, would come looking for him with the excuse, "You're carrying my child."

They had slept together once three hundred years ago, sure, but...

Shu Yan: I'm male. You're trying to scam me.

Xuan Qing treated Shu Yan wonderfully, personally cooking for him, brushing his fur, and bathing him. But Shu Yan wasn't happy.

He knew Xuan Qing was only treating him well because of the little cub in his belly.

But after the little fox was born, whenever it tried to play with Shu Yan, Xuan Qing would pick it up and toss it onto the cat tree, then issue a merciless warning in the voice of a stern father.

Xuan Qing: Mine.

Shu Yan: ...

#What do I do when the cub's dad gets jealous of the cub every day?#

A super-powerful, romance-clueless, fluffy-animal-loving gong x a gorgeous, silly-cute little fox shou who's secretly a big shot too

1. Mpreg, one-on-one romance. The gong is a very believable blockhead, but he dotes on the shou. They're each other's only one.

2. The shou doesn't realize he has a cub for three hundred years. He needs to cultivate dual cultivation because his spiritual energy is too weak to have one.

3. The author is a hopeless romantic who loves indulging in self-insert fantasies and shipping sweet couples. Silly, sweet tropes abound. The central theme is: "I forgot love for you, and fell in love for you."

Blurb for After Marrying My Rival by Contract

On the night Gu Xian married his rival Xie Yunjing by contract, Xie Yunjing declared, "I have a beloved. We'll each do our own thing."

Gu Xian retorted with a cold laugh, "What a coincidence. I have a cinnabar mole too. You'd better mind your own business."

After exchanging threats, they agreed to go their separate ways, and Gu Xian was very pleased.

But then...

Xie Yunjing showed up at Gu Xian's workplace.

Xie Yunjing showed up at the banquets Gu Xian attended.

Even when Gu Xian just organized a dinner with some people, he ran into Xie Yunjing!

Xie Yunjing seemed to be everywhere. One day, when Gu Xian ran into him yet again at a bar, he finally snapped. He slammed a hand on the table, ready to demand why Xie Yunjing was following him.

But the usually serious, rigid Xie Yunjing suddenly shoved aside the handsome young men surrounding him, pulled open his collar, and pinned Gu Xian against his chest like a thug, loudly proclaiming, "He's my wife!"

Gu Xian: ...

Gu Xian: You damn Xie Yunjing! I'm your husband!

*

The morning after they returned from the bar, Gu Xian and Xie Yunjing both attained sagehood.

Gu Xian: What happened to your beloved?

Xie Yunjing: ...It was fake.

Xie Yunjing: What about your cinnabar mole?

Gu Xian: ...Look at this mole on my foot. Doesn't it look like a cinnabar mole?

1. One-on-one romance, a sweet story of falling in love after marriage. The gong and shou's beloveds and cinnabar moles are both fake. Two childish idiots.

2. Neither the gong nor the shou is a celebrity.

Theme: A little story about the protagonists working hard to make money, being hopeless at romance, and eventually finding success in both love and their careers.
