The Fourteenth Prince is the emperor's youngest brother. He was spoiled from childhood, is famous throughout the capital for his beauty, and is both spoiled and sickly.
But then his imperial brother assigns him to spy on the ambitious regent.
The regent has never paid him much attention, so the prince keeps trailing after him.
He curses the man as a villain in his heart, all while enduring hardship and biding his time!
But as time goes on, his body starts acting strangely. He often gets stomachaches, feels nauseous, and craves sour foods. Day by day, he becomes tearful and sensitive, and clings to people more than ever.
At night, he can't stop thinking about that villain...
He used to cling to the regent as an act. Now he clings to him for real and won't let go.
One day, the regent discovers the young prince's secret: he had deliberately gotten close to him. After they exchange a few angry words, the regent turns and walks away with a cold expression.
The young prince turns pale with anger, grabs the regent's hand, and suddenly clutches his stomach, doubling over in pain.
The regent immediately scoops him up and rushes off to find the imperial physician.
The diagnosis: He's pregnant. With twins. They're yours.
The two of them are completely dumbfounded.

Later, the young prince suffers from severe pregnancy symptoms. He throws up everything he eats and can't keep anything down.
His belly keeps growing, but his body grows thinner. Every day, he feels so awful that he curls up in the regent's arms and cries.
Only then does the regent, usually ruthless and decisive on the battlefield, realize how brilliant the emperor's scheme was.
Why bother fighting for power?
He's busy every day holding a bowl of rice in one hand and a bowl of sour dates in the other, trying to coax his beloved.
"Your Highness, you have to eat a couple of bites of porridge before you can have a date," the regent says softly.
The young prince lifts his tearful eyes from the regent's arms and hiccups through a sob. "But I can't eat..."
The regent grits his teeth, then adds, "I'll feed you."
A decisive, cold-hearted regent who dotes on his spouse x a spoiled, clingy, sickly young prince who cries and fusses
