My upcoming novel, "The Moonlight I Lost and Found Again", is an ancient-style palace-set pregnancy story. The blurb is below. My other danmei novel, "Starting from Zero", is also available. (Bows)

Blurb:

Song Yunming was the real young master of the Sheng Group, switched at birth and raised in the mountains. He worked his way up to graduate with a PhD from one of the world's top universities, dedicating his life to researching terminal illnesses.

After returning to China, Song Yunming discovers that without money, even a god can get nowhere.

His not-so-bright childhood friend has a flash of inspiration. "You should join the entertainment industry. You can make a fortune there."

Song Yunming: As long as it pays.

His friend promptly bundles him off to join a variety show called "Devoted to Science".

He Chenyu was born into a wealthy family and debuted as a top-tier star. Ten years later, he'd squandered a winning hand and fallen to the ranks of minor celebrities.

The first time He Chenyu sees Song Yunming, he thinks, This guy was born with a face that could make a living for him.

Later, he watches helplessly as Song Yunming says the coldest things with a breathtakingly beautiful face.

Someone on the show deliberately gives him a hard time: "Which paper did you get this data from?"

Song Yunming: "It's from a survey. If you want a paper, I suggest spending a year and a half living in the village and publishing one yourself."

There's a manipulative flirt on the show: "How could I ever compare to Professor Song...?"

Song Yunming: "Are you always this fake, or only with me?"

He Chenyu: "I'm upset. Why aren't you comforting me?"

Song Yunming: "Comfort yourself. Come talk to me when you've cheered yourself up."

He Chenyu: "...Professor Song, you'll have a hard time making friends like that."

Song Yunming: "Do you only want to be friends with me?"

He Chenyu: "..."

When the show airs, the two of them become an online sensation.

Viewers: "Waaah, you can actually learn things from a variety show. Also, Professor Song's face... hawt!"

Shippers: "Mom, they're real!"

Haters: "He's just cashing in on his degree. Disgusting."

The industry says of Song Yunming: "He squandered a winning hand. He could have made history with his research, but instead he had to get mixed up in money."

Then Song Yunming's breakthrough drug makes a sudden debut, smashing the monopoly and shocking the whole country.

That night, Song Yunming posts on Weibo for once: "I finally have time for a date."

Five minutes later, paparazzi photograph He Chenyu entering Song Yunming's home.

Everyone: "...What can we say? Bro, you're a little out of his league. Maybe you should go get a master's degree?"

He Chenyu replies instantly: "Nonsense. I've got money, he's got talent. We're perfect for each other."

Song Yunming replies right after: "Yep, yep, yep. He's the best."

Three minutes later, "Hopeless Romantic" hits the top of the trending topics.

Upcoming novel:

In the thirty-eighth year of Yan Feng, the Feng Dynasty falls. The new emperor's first act is to slaughter the surviving members of the Feng royal family. Only the seventh prince, Feng Yu, escapes.

The seventh prince, Feng Yu, is strikingly beautiful and slender, proud and high-minded, and so intelligent he seems almost supernatural. He is truly like an immortal descended from heaven.

People say the Seventh Highness once talked ten thousand soldiers out of battle, and should be the new emperor.

People say the Seventh Highness once captured a city single-handedly, and should be the new emperor.

People say the Seventh Highness once saved countless commoners with a single prescription, and should be the new emperor.

People say... In short, he should be the new emperor!

Down with the tyrant, raise a new king! We are willing to brave fire and water for Your Highness!

Feng Yu, who was captured by Gu Qu after three years of serious illness and made his bedchamber attendant: Are you people out of your minds? Have some shame!

Gu Qu is a rabid dog of a man. He was once Feng Yu's personal servant, yet somehow became a trusted confidant of the new emperor. His talent for switching sides is astonishing.

In the second year of Jia Yuan, the former prime minister's son raises an army in Feng Yu's name. Gu Qu is sent to put down the rebellion, and along the way he takes Feng Yu as his bedchamber attendant.

What Gu Qu thinks a bedchamber attendant should be like: gentle and kind, cooking for him, showing him care, and sewing his clothes...

What Gu Qu's attendant is actually like: "General, have you lost your mind?" "General, do you not have hands and feet?" "General, pour me a cup of tea." "General, I want new clothes." "General, let me see the tiger tally."...

Gu Qu is so thoroughly muddled by Feng Yu's gentle words that he hands over both his money and his power, and ends up becoming more and more adept at serving him.

Finally, one day, Gu Qu drinks a memory-restoring potion and remembers everything. "Wait, aren't you the Seventh Highness?"

By then, Feng Yu smiles sweetly and runs off with the baby.

Gu Qu: !!! I slept with the love of my life thinking he was a stand-in, and now he's pregnant and has run away. What do I do? Asking online, urgent.

The old dynasty, the new dynasty, a nation beset by internal strife and external threats. In a time of crisis, the tides of history surge, and ambitious heroes rise against the current to save a collapsing empire.

Theme: Even in adversity, keep a cheerful and optimistic attitude, pursue the truth, and fear no storm.
