After Transmigrating Into a Book, I Was Kidnapped by the Enemy Kingdom's Crown Prince

Shen Zhiliu transmigrates into a book and becomes the protagonist's beloved, who shares his name: an unloved prince of a fallen kingdom.

Unfortunately, he was wearing women's clothes when he tried to escape. The crown prince of the enemy kingdom, Chu Jin, mistakes him for a breathtaking princess and abducts him by force, even declaring that he will marry the fallen kingdom's "princess" as his crown princess.

The beloved's perspective:

Chu Jin is cold, ruthless, unreasonable, constantly taking liberties, and always ready with threats and warnings.

This leaves Shen Zhiliu, who only arrived recently, trembling with fear. He wants to run away, but his frail body holds him back. To stay alive, he can only carefully ingratiate himself with the enemy crown prince and depend on him.

The crown prince eats, and he pours the soup.

The crown prince is injured, and he comes to the rescue.

The crown prince is cold, and he warms his bed.

The crown prince wants a child, and he...

Huh?! Why is his belly suddenly getting bigger? Only then does Shen Zhiliu realize this is a male-pregnancy story!

The pursuer's perspective:

He happily abducts a pretty little princess, only to discover before they even reach home that the princess isn't a "princess" at all.

It takes Chu Jin only half a cup of tea to accept the fact. It doesn't matter if the sex is wrong, as long as the person is pretty.

So he brings the pretty "little princess" home, intending to keep him nearby so he can admire him and put him to good use.

Who knew this "little princess" would be so restless? Every day he comes to Chu Jin with food, pours him soup, and gives off a captivating fragrance, leaving him completely bewitched.

Later, he even risks his life to save him.

He must be madly in love with me.

If that's the case, I suppose I could love him too!

And so, they happily begin a romance filled with love and sweet nothings.

--- Reader's Guide ---

1. Old-school melodrama, alternate history, no logic required, with plenty of authorial liberties. The plot serves the romance, so nitpickers beware.

2. A major identity reveal and a "now I get it" moment. The reveal comes quickly, and so does the change of heart.

4. Male pregnancy, male pregnancy, male pregnancy. Important things must be said three times.

The Little Eunuch, Warm My Bed

[Airheaded eunuch beloved and unserious emperor pursuer]

Quanfu is a little eunuch in the servants' office. Every day, he does the dirtiest and hardest work. All he wants is to send enough money home for his younger siblings to live on and buy a small house of his own in the countryside.

Then one day, he is selected to enter the emperor's inner palace and become the emperor's personal attendant.

To earn more money, Quanfu works even harder. He stays by the emperor's bed every day. When the emperor is thirsty, he brings water; when the emperor is hungry, he brings pastries; when the emperor needs to pee, he brings the chamber pot; when the emperor is in the mood, he offers himself. Huh? Wait, that's not right! How did he end up offering himself?

One day, Mu Ling gets drunk. He looks at the little eunuch who serves him every day and is quite handsome, and in a moment of weakness, he takes him to bed.

The little eunuch is soft and cuddly, and once Mu Ling gets his hands on him, he can't bear to let go.

The next day, Mu Ling wakes to the sound of sobbing. He tries to comfort him kindly for ages, but to no avail. In the end, a fine piece of white jade is all it takes to get the little eunuch to settle down.

The little eunuch, who has always been so obedient, turns out to be a little money-grubber. Mu Ling uses this as an excuse to coax him back into bed.

Who knew the little eunuch would be in such poor health? He keeps coming down with fevers and falling ill. When his fever gets bad, he starts babbling, asking for food and drink.

Later, the roles are reversed: when Fubao is thirsty, Mu Ling brings him water; when Fubao is hungry, he feeds him pastries; when Fubao... Wait, that's not right! I'm the emperor. How can I be taking care of a little eunuch?

Reborn as the Regent's Beloved

[The ruthless regent and his mighty "little wife"]

Xie Huaize spends his whole life serving Chu Zhao. He helps him ascend the throne and expand his territory, only to be accused of treason and collusion with the enemy, then killed with a cup of poisoned wine.

As his soul leaves his body, he sees the regent, Ning Buxiu, hurrying over. He numbly lifts Xie Huaize's body and sheds a single tear.

His soul wanders the world for several years. He sees Chu Zhao's true nature, and realizes just how deeply Ning Buxiu loves him.

Fortunately, Heaven takes pity on him and gives him another chance. He returns to the moment he drank the poison and forces himself to hold on until Ning Buxiu arrives. Dragging his battered, bloodied body, he takes Ning Buxiu's hand and gently kisses it.

In my previous life, I gave my heart to the wrong man. In this life, I will never let you down.

After Xie Huaize is reborn, there is no longer a mighty general in the world, but the regent's manor gains a deeply cherished noble consort.

He leaves the all-powerful regent so dizzy with love that if he wants the stars, Ning Buxiu won't pick the moon; if he says east, Ning Buxiu won't go west.

Even when Xie Huaize wants to drag those who put imperial authority above all else into the mire, Ning Buxiu does exactly as he asks. He doesn't even mind replacing the ruler of Great Sheng.

When Ning Buxiu presents the throne to him, Xie Huaize simply smiles, affectionately wraps his arms around Ning Buxiu's neck, nestles close, and whispers, "Rather than being emperor, I'd much rather be your empress."
