Blurb:
Lin Chuxia, the young cousin in the Anping Marquis's household, has a secret: the male lead in almost every romance novel he likes is based on his peerless cousin, Pei Yi, whose fame has spread throughout the capital.
Lin Chuxia is determined to cling to his cousin's coattails. He thinks Pei Yi is a decent person, too. On the very first day they meet, Pei Yi gives him a place at the Imperial College, and treats him with great consideration.
But whenever Lin Chuxia looks at such an elegant gentleman, he can't help thinking of all the romance novels he has hidden away.
And so...
When a maid accidentally spills tea on Pei Yi while serving him:
Lin Chuxia: I've read this one! Next, Cousin will find her clumsy but earnest efforts adorable!
Pei Yi silently looks at the back of his hand, red from the burn.
When the flower-songstress playing the pipa at the tavern casts flirtatious glances at Pei Yi:
Lin Chuxia: I've read this one too! In a moment, she'll pour her heart out to Cousin, who's taken pity on her!
Pei Yi takes the candied hawthorn skewer from some fool, so he won't space out and accidentally poke himself with it.
When the princess of the ruling dynasty climbs over the wall to sneak into the marquis's estate just to see Pei Yi:
Lin Chuxia: I get it. This time they're well matched, so Cousin will soon go to the palace to ask for her hand!
Pei Yi irritably drags the princess's brother over and tells him to take her away.
Lin Chuxia keeps feeling that things aren't quite going the way he imagined.
It isn't until Pei Yi finally loses patience, pins him down on the bed, and kisses him over and over that Lin Chuxia realizes something is wrong. Wait, I never read any male-male romance novels! Later, after he and his cousin become lovers, he discovers that his belly is growing... Which romance novel said a man could get pregnant after falling in love with another man?!
Oh, no, that's not the point. Why can he get pregnant at all?!
At first, Pei Yi just thought his new little cousin was a bit dim, and figured it wouldn't hurt to take advantage of him a little. After all, he hated fools most of all.
Pei Yi, later on: ...Well, this is surprisingly nice.
The original blurb below (which is better?)
Before he had even come of age, Lin Chuxia was unlucky enough to lose both his parents and become an orphan. With no other choice, he obeyed his mother's dying wish and traveled a thousand miles to the capital to seek shelter with his uncle's family.
Just like that, he became the young cousin in the Anping Marquis's household. Lin Chuxia, who wasn't exactly sharp-witted, spent every day feeling apprehensive.
Romance novels all said that life in the mansions of noble families and royal households was complicated. Lin Chuxia was timid, and after entering the marquis's estate, his greatest wish was to stay invisible in his little courtyard and grow up safely before getting married. Of course, an even better future wouldn't hurt.
With that little ambition in mind, Lin Chuxia set his sights on Pei Yi, the heir to the marquis's estate and his cousin, whose fame had spread throughout the capital.
On their very first day together, his cousin gave him a place at the Imperial College without an entrance exam. As a complete academic failure, Lin Chuxia was both alarmed and deeply moved.
Cousin really is a good person! I can't go wrong sticking with him! Once Cousin takes over the household, I should at least get a couple of estates to live comfortably on, right? Maybe finding a match for me will be easier, too ⊙▽⊙
With that in mind, Lin Chuxia never looked back from his quest to cling to his cousin's coattails. Showing concern, braving any danger, and doing anything his cousin asked became part of his daily routine.
Before long, his relationship with his cousin was improving by leaps and bounds, getting sweeter by the day (?). Was it supposed to be like this?
Then Lin Chuxia noticed something else he couldn't control: As he kept clinging to his cousin's coattails... why was his own belly getting bigger?!

This article has been delayed for too long and I need to rewrite it. I'll lock it now. Can you guys let it sit quietly in your favorites for a while? Qaq
Madam, I'm waiting for you. When will you update?
When will my wife pinch me more?
Wuwuwu, Mrs. Wu, are you still writing?
The question is... The author is unfortunately in Sichuan. Unfortunately, there are three or four power outages every day. It's hot and the Internet is disconnected, so the progress is touching T^T
The visa application failed again T^T I decided to change the beginning again, a big change T^T That is to say, if anyone is reading this, I would like to apologize in advance for not updating in the past two days!
