As soon as Chi Xingran transmigrated to a matriarchal world, he learned that his family planned to send him to the imperial palace to become one of the three thousand beauties in the old empress's harem.
Damn! If not now, when?
After days of traveling, he finally reached a place where the sky was high enough for birds to fly and the sea wide enough for fish to... get caught in a net?
A fishing net fell from the sky, and freedom became a thing of the past.
From then on, Chi Xingran embarked on a tumultuous life of being robbed, kidnapped, and struggling to survive in a brothel...
After escaping one den of danger only to land in another, Chi Xingran angrily beat up the person who took his virginity, then fled with the money that very night.
As if! He wasn't a man from a true matriarchal world. How could he spend his life with a scumbag woman who cheated on him?
Then, two months later, a doctor discovered that he was pregnant.
Chi Xingran nearly fell apart.
You bitch! I curse your ancestors for eighteen generations!
In the fifth year of Jingqing, the Jingqing Emperor, who had been on the throne for years but still had no heir, left the palace incognito.
In a small town, she met a little girl who instantly stole her heart. She wanted to speak with the child's father about adopting her, but when she met him, she was stunned to discover that the mother the child said had died and rotted away to nothing was none other than herself.
Su Xi was both delighted and furious.
Good. Now she could get two for the price of one. She would take the child, and bundle up the adult, too.
After being forcibly dragged back to the palace he'd risked everything to escape, how could Chi Xingran possibly submit meekly?
But...
Escape Plan 1.0: Failed.
Escape Plan 2.3: Failed.
Escape Plan 3.5: Failed.
Escape Plan 6.6: Failed.
Chi Xingran lay sprawled on the soft couch in Fenghua Palace, utterly lifeless.
Su Lingruo sighed and patted him sympathetically on the shoulder. "Dad, don't worry. We'll definitely succeed next time."
Su Xi rubbed her temples in exasperation. What had she done to deserve a Phoenix Lord like this? In just two months, he'd run away six times, taking the child with him every time.
Looks like the only way to make him settle down is to leave a certain someone too exhausted to get out of bed.
[Domineering, scheming empress who dotes on her husband x silly, beautiful Phoenix Lord who keeps trying to run away with the child]
