A sweet intersex pregnancy story, told mainly from the receiving partner's perspective.
Mu Shi was born with white hair and a body with both male and female characteristics. The old Imperial Preceptor found him beneath a crooked tree by the back gate of a Daoist temple and took him in.
After the old Imperial Preceptor died, Mu Shi became the Imperial Preceptor of Ning.
The late emperor entrusted his young son to Mu Shi on his deathbed, asking him to help the four-year-old emperor rule alongside Feng Su, a prince with a different surname.
In truth, he wanted Mu Shi to keep Feng Su in check and prevent the empire from falling into another family's hands.
But Feng Su's influence was overwhelming, and Mu Shi couldn't shake his hold on power.
By peering into the secrets of Heaven, Mu Shi learned that he and Feng Su were destined to be together. After observing him for many days, he realized that the regent was secretly in love with him.
Though it was hard to believe, Mu Shi decided to use himself as bait.
And then Mu Shi got pregnant with the regent's child.
Mu Shi had been frail and sickly since childhood. He got a little better as he grew up, but still fell ill now and then.
At first, Feng Su couldn't stand the sight of Mu Shi looking so weak. Later, Mu Shi started seducing him every day.
Feng Su: Enough. I won't fall for your little tricks.
Mu Shi: So yesterday, when you thought I was walking too slowly and gave me your sedan chair, were you worried about me?
Feng Su: I just wanted to stretch my legs.
Mu Shi: Oh, do you think I'll believe that?
Feng Su: ...Forget it.
#They each fall for each other in their own imagination, and their mutual overthinking is what brings them together#
