The Brooding Regent's Abandoned Cat in His Palm

Everyone knew that Wei Yan was the regent Tan Yunshen's bedmate, his little lover.

Beautiful and obedient, sweet and considerate, he did whatever Tan Yunshen told him.

Only Wei Yan knew that theirs was the purest master-servant relationship.

But he harbored an unspeakable love for Tan Yunshen, and had a long, fine, fluffy orange tail like a cat's growing from his tailbone.

Both were secrets. If either one came to light, he would be killed.

Wei Yan thought he would take both secrets to his grave, until the day he got drunk and failed to keep either one hidden.

He even foolishly handed his tail to Tan Yunshen, grinning like an idiot. "Hee, isn't my tail pretty?"

Wei Yan was delighted that Tan Yunshen liked his tail, and thought it meant Tan Yunshen had some genuine affection for him.

But in the end, all he got was a casual remark to someone else: "He's just a little pet. As long as he behaves, that's enough."

Later, Wei Yan faked his death and ran off to some remote mountain valley, where he became a bandit who robbed the rich to help the poor.

After Wei Yan ran away, Tan Yunshen went mad.

Then one day, three years later, Tan Yunshen was passing through when he caught a glimpse of the boisterous bandit king.

He was brimming with confidence and radiance, happier than Tan Yunshen had ever seen him.

Tan Yunshen didn't want to lose the bright, self-assured young man he should have cherished, but Wei Yan's gaze would never turn toward him again.

So the once-arrogant, haughty regent clung to Wei Yan like a stray dog and pleaded, "I'll let you do whatever you want to me, all right? Please don't leave me."

Coming soon: The Feudal Lord's Little Servant

Yun Su's family was poor. His father had died young, his mother was in poor health, and his younger siblings were still little. They barely scraped by.

He was small and weak, and had nothing going for him but a pretty face, so he sold himself into the prince's manor as a servant.

Prince Rong Qi He seemed refined and courteous on the surface, but was cold and unfeeling, with a cruel streak underneath. He loved making life difficult for people and was impossibly demanding. They said plenty of servants had gone into his service, but very few had ever come out.

Little Yun Su was terrified. All he could do was work as hard as he could, hoping to earn enough to escape his miserable life and reunite with his family.

Then one day, he was chosen to serve in the inner chambers, becoming the prince's personal servant and reading to him at night.

From the Four Books and Five Classics to strange tales and romance stories, and then to erotic poetry and scandalous accounts, the material grew more and more improper. Yun Su's head slowly drooped, and his voice grew softer and more breathy.

A large, strong hand with prominent knuckles reached out from between the layers of bed curtains and pulled Yun Su onto the bed.

The haughty prince seemed addicted to his body and spent every day with him.

Later, Yun Su discovered he was pregnant.

Terrified, he fled with his hands on his belly, not even taking the time to pack his belongings.

A few months later, Rong Qi He found him. He looked at Yun Su's red eyes, then at the tiny baby nursing in his arms. "Had enough fun? When are you and the baby coming home?"

Yun Su said timidly, "I... I can take care of the baby on my own..."

Coming soon: The Little Emperor Is Carrying the Scheming Grand Tutor's Baby

[Soft, teary-eyed little emperor uke x scheming grand tutor seme]

The little emperor Xiao Yanzhen ascended the throne at eight. Naive and often ill, he only managed to secure his position with the support of his grand tutor and the prime minister.

Compared to the kind and benevolent prime minister, Xiao Yanzhen absolutely hated his grand tutor, Shen Xingzhi, who controlled his every move. Even eating an extra bowl of shaved ice could earn him a smack on the palm. But he didn't dare argue, and acted like a well-behaved boy every day.

In reality, he did plenty of outrageous things, but he always got caught.

Everyone knew the little emperor was terrified of Shen Xingzhi. Sobs could be heard coming from his bedchamber every night, making it sound as though he was being punished terribly.

"You... you're really too cruel," Xiao Yanzhen panted softly.

Shen Xingzhi pinched the little emperor's cheeks. "I offered myself to you. Am I not better than anyone else?"

"I will strip you of your position!"

"Of course. Then I'll become Your Majesty's consort."

Later, Shen Xingzhi went too far and got him pregnant.

Xiao Yanzhen was beside himself. All he could think about was hiding his belly, afraid that if Shen Xingzhi found out, he would punish him harshly again.

But a secret like that could not stay hidden forever. One day, Shen Xingzhi noticed something was up. "Have you put on weight lately, Your Majesty?"

"N-no, I..."

It's over! It's over! I can't hide it anymore!

What should I do? What should I do...

Xiao Yanzhen wasn't good at much, but he was a champion at shedding pitiful little tears. Shen Xingzhi only became even more domineering, though.

The prime minister believed that the little emperor was still the Son of Heaven and shouldn't be treated too harshly, so he decided to have a word with Shen Xingzhi.

Instead, he walked in on Shen Xingzhi changing the little prince's clothes and shoes, affectionately calling the little emperor "baby," and softly coaxing the pouting emperor to drink his medicine. The sight left him completely flabbergasted.

Wait, weren't people saying His Majesty was being punished so badly he couldn't even get out of bed?

The little emperor had grown plumper and plumper! His belly was getting bigger, too!
