Whose Child Is the Emperor Carrying?

[Opening a fantasy danmei novel on May 11: After My Ex-Boyfriend Defects. The blurb is below this novel's blurb.]

Novel blurb:

One day, Gu Hengzhi opened a fanfiction based on a popular male-lead novel...

He had just read about a character with the same name as him, a shou who was drugged with medicine that could make him pregnant. Then he opened his eyes and found himself in the original novel, in the body of a frail, useless, sickly beauty of an emperor who couldn't lift a finger and spent all day soaking in medicine.

Dazed and confused, Gu Hengzhi thought he had only dreamed that some stranger had done unspeakable things to him. But when he woke up...

He was pregnant!

Even worse, he had no idea who the father was.

The Regent Lu Jue holds power over the court and the military, and could force the young emperor to abdicate at any time. But one day, he accidentally slept with the young emperor Gu Hengzhi. Then he heard Gu Hengzhi was pregnant and started figuring out how to deal with the situation, only to realize that Gu Hengzhi was becoming less and less like the useless emperor he used to be.

One day after court, the Regent cornered the young emperor in the Hall of Heavenly Favor and pinned him to the dragon throne.

"Is Your Majesty feeling well?" Lu Jue asked, blocking his way.

"I'm fine, I'm fine..." Gu Hengzhi's legs went weak, and his whole body trembled.

At first:

Gu Hengzhi: Your Highness, am I holding on to your leg properly?

Lu Jue: Hmph. Useless.

Later:

Lu Jue: Hengzhi, look at me.

Gu Hengzhi: Hmph. You big dummy.

Please note:

Pregnancy, one-on-one, both leads are each other's first love.

Many details are authorial inventions. Anything unreasonable is an authorial invention. The main story may include some tongue-in-cheek commentary.

Coming-soon fantasy danmei novel, After My Ex-Boyfriend Defects: Blurb

Yu Chuchen and Duan Yan worked side by side from military academy through their time in the military, opening up new frontiers for the Federation and repelling foreign enemies. They had an impressive record of military achievements.

Together, they became the youngest major generals in the Federation and were hailed as its twin stars.

After years together, they had already been permanently marked. They thought they would never be separated.

Until one day.

Duan Yan defected, and the twin stars fell apart.

Yu Chuchen endured the pain of his alpha's betrayal and watched Duan Yan transform into an imperial prince, filled with resentment and confusion.

After all those years together, how could Duan Yan cast him aside so easily for the allure of being a prince?

From then on, Yu Chuchen stepped back from the front lines, thinking he would never have another chance to see Duan Yan.

Then the Federation lost the war, and the two nations entered negotiations.

The Federation's leaders sent Yu Chuchen, who had long since left the political arena, to Duan Yan's bed.

The gentle, considerate boyfriend of the past was gone. The man standing before Yu Chuchen now was the Empire's de facto ruler, having seized power in just three short years.

"Meeting an old flame again."

"General, don't you have anything to say?"

Duan Yan ran his fingers over the omega's vulnerable gland, his eyes full of dangerous intent.

But Yu Chuchen was as unyielding as ever. He fought down the joy he felt at seeing Duan Yan again, a reaction brought on by his omega physiology, and refused to bow his head.

Theme: Even in adversity, never give up hope.
