Xiao He was in his second year of high school when he learned that his grandfather had arranged a childhood betrothal for him before he was even born. Now the other family had come to ask for his hand. With his aunt, who made snide remarks at him every day, and his uncle, caught in the middle, Xiao He climbed into the car sent by the Xia family. After Xia Zhinian became head of the family, his grandmother told him that many years ago, his grandfather had left a will stating that the head of the Xia family had to marry a child from the Xiao family. Xiao He suddenly found himself with a fiance, and the whole thing felt awkward. He found his fiance, who kept trying to control him, incredibly annoying. Xia Zhinian, meanwhile, found Xiao He just as frustrating. His ideal partner was quiet and virtuous, not a rebellious boy like Xiao He. So the two people who couldn't stand each other made a private deal: once Xiao He got into college, they would end their engagement. After that, Xiao He's grades went through the roof. He went from last in his class to first in his grade, and even ranked first in the city. One day, Xia Zhinian, who was overseas, got another call from a teacher, who told him Xiao He had been injured in a fight. Xia Zhinian rushed to the school that very day. After taking him to the hospital for a checkup, he lectured him for ages. Xiao He snapped: Do you ever get tired of this? You're always controlling me. You're not my dad! Xia Zhinian: I'm your fiance. Xiao He: What fiance? Once I get into college, we're done! A year later, after Xiao He earned the highest score on the college entrance exam, Xia Zhinian pinned him against a wall and kissed him. "Still think I'm annoying? Still want to end things with me?" Xiao He: Daddy, I'm sorry. Reader's Guide: 1. Xiao He is already eighteen when he gets married. Minors should focus on their studies and not date too early. 2. Older male lead.

Blurb for After Flirting with My Scumbag Ex's Uncle, I Got Pregnant and Ran Away: Devoted, gentle top VS a bottom who's sharp-tongued but soft-hearted On his nineteenth birthday, Shu Ci had the worst day of his life: he caught his boyfriend cheating in bed. Feeling miserable, he went to a bar for a drink and met a handsome man. A little tipsy, he went over and struck up a conversation. "Hey, man, wanna hook up?" The next morning, the man said, "I like you. Let's be together." Shu Ci quickly got dressed and ran off. What a joke. It had only been a brief fling. Two months later, Shu Ci felt dizzy, nauseous, and unwell. At the hospital, the doctor told him he was pregnant! Shu Ci was thunderstruck, remembering the man he'd shamelessly flirted with at the bar two months earlier. As he was about to undergo surgery at the hospital, he ran into that man. The man picked up the lab report Shu Ci had dropped and clasped his hand tightly, his eyes red. "Why have you been avoiding me?" One day, Ji Mingchuan, his scumbag ex's uncle, brought someone home and said, "This is your aunt." The scumbag took one look and realized that his aunt was Shu Ci, his ex-boyfriend. Only then did Shu Ci learn that Ji Mingchuan was the head of the Ji family. It was rumored that he had no interest in anyone, which made the scumbag his sole heir. Shu Ci's appearance threw the scumbag into a panic. He started pursuing Shu Ci again, begging him to abort the child and marry him. Shu Ci kicked the scumbag away and threw himself into the arms of the man behind him. "Honey, he wants to hurt our baby." Ji Mingchuan had always loved someone. When he finally worked up the courage to confess his feelings, his nephew pointed to Shu Ci and said he was his boyfriend. Heartbroken, Ji Mingchuan handed all his property and company over to his nephew, wished him and Shu Ci a lifetime of happiness, and retired overseas. But then he heard that his nephew had abandoned Shu Ci after seducing him, and that Shu Ci had jumped from a high-rise. On his way back to China, Ji Mingchuan died in a car accident. When he opened his eyes again, Ji Mingchuan was back before his trip overseas. He swore he would never let anyone take Shu Ci from him this time. He found Shu Ci, tipsy, at a bar, held him tightly, and vowed never to let go again. His nephew couldn't understand why his uncle had suddenly changed his attitude. "Uncle, weren't I always your favorite? Didn't you say you'd leave me all your inheritance?" Ji Mingchuan said with disgust, "You're not the one I want to leave it to."
