The Sickly Crown Prince Is Pregnant

[May 11: My new fantasy danmei novel, "After My Ex-Boyfriend Defected," is opening. The blurb is below this novel's blurb.]

Blurb:

Ji Mingsheng died on his wedding day. Only after his death did he learn that he was the cannon-fodder male supporting character in an old-fashioned melodramatic novel.

He died simply because the heroine had been bestowed in marriage to him, the Crown Prince's eldest son, and the male lead, determined to disrupt her marriage, had him assassinated for it.

Reborn, Ji Mingsheng decides to stay away from the heroine, take good care of his health, and live long enough to become emperor.

Yet this life seems to be different from the last in many ways...

The male lead who assassinated him in his previous life now only wants him to look his way.

The general who hated him in his previous life now wants to protect him every moment of the day.

The chief minister who once repeatedly petitioned for his removal, standing against him at every turn, has become his staunch supporter.

Ji Mingsheng thinks that's the end of it, but when he lifts the Crown Princess's veil, he sees the face of his study companion, Gu Cenguan.

To outsiders, Gu Cenguan, heir to the Marquis of Huai'an, is always smiling. Everyone thinks he is a refined gentleman, as bright and open as the wind and moon, but they don't know that his heart holds someone he would never dare approach in this lifetime.

He loves the frail and beautiful Crown Prince's eldest son to the point of madness, but he doesn't dare let him see the malice in his eyes, afraid it will drive him away.

He thought he could hide his feelings and stay by his side for a lifetime, but then he suddenly heard that the Crown Prince's eldest son had died.

At that moment, it felt as if the sky had collapsed. He did nothing but search for the culprit and, without regard for the consequences, avenge the Crown Prince's eldest son.

On the night his revenge was complete, he opened and closed his eyes, only to find himself back before any of it had happened.

He still had a chance. This time, no matter the cost, he would get close to Ji Mingsheng.

Everyone in the Eastern Palace thinks the Crown Prince's eldest son sleeps late every day because his consort is so alluring that he can't bear to leave the bed.

Then one day, the imperial physician is summoned to the Eastern Palace. After taking his pulse, he falls to his knees, trembling all over.

"Y-Your Highness, the Crown Prince's eldest son... This is a pregnancy pulse!"

Reader notes:

Both leads are reborn, and each has only ever loved the other.

Pregnancy and childbirth. The gong has to dress as a woman for part of the story, so please take note if that's not your thing.

There will probably be childish arguments.

In his previous life, the shou was given in marriage, but he died on the way to the wedding.

Upcoming fantasy danmei novel, "After My Ex-Boyfriend Defected"

Blurb:

Yu Chuchen and Duan Yan served together from military academy through their entry into the military, opening up new territory for the Federation and fending off foreign enemies. Their record of service was dazzling.

They became the youngest major generals in the Federation and were hailed as the Federation's Twin Stars.

After years in love, they had fully marked each other and believed 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 as Duan Yan transformed into an imperial prince, full of resentment and confusion.

After all those years together, how could Duan Yan abandon him so easily for the allure of princely status?

Yu Chuchen stepped away from the front lines, thinking he would never see Duan Yan again.

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

The Federation's leadership sent Yu Chuchen, long since removed from the maelstrom of power, to Duan Yan's bed.

The gentle, attentive 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.

"Two old lovers meet again."

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

Duan Yan stroked the Omega's vulnerable gland, his eyes filled with dangerous intent.

Yu Chuchen was as stubborn as ever. He suppressed the joy of seeing Duan Yan again, brought on by his Omega body's physical responses, and stubbornly refused to bow his head.
