Pluck That Flower from the High Peaks

Chao Shu was merely an obscure little eunuch in the imperial palace: lowly, worthless, and at the mercy of his masters, who could beat him or kill him whenever they pleased.

The Crown Prince, by contrast, was the heir to the throne, worshipped by all and peerless beneath heaven. He had a compassionate heart and was beloved by countless people.

Then, in a single day, he fell from grace, like a flower on a high cliff tumbling from its pedestal.

Ordered to hang the deposed Crown Prince with three feet of white silk, Chao Shu was overcome by a desire he had never dared entertain before. He hid the prince away.

A son of the dragon in my arms: bullying him, indulging myself, crossing every line...

Chao Shu did everything he should not have done. Even if he died for it, he thought it was worth it.

Later, the deposed Crown Prince returned at the head of an army. When he first ascended the throne, Chao Shu knew his life was over.

As he tried to take his own life, the emperor took the dagger from him and restrained him. Chao Shu begged His Majesty to give him a quick death, for the sake of their brief affair.

The helpless look on his face could no longer conceal its alluring charm.

The sinister, twisted little eunuch was gone. In his place was the beauty the emperor kept hidden away in a golden house.

Upcoming story: The Genius Baby Born After I Ran Away Pregnant

Blurb: The genius baby Zhou Xiaojuan grew up watching his daddy's silly videos. Before the age of three, he had no idea he had another dad, until one day his father turned down an offer from a high-profile advertiser.

Zhou Xiaojuan tapped away on his phone, searched it up, and pointed to the company's CEO. "Daddy, why does this uncle look so much like me?"

Zhou Jianhuan dropped his instant noodles with a guilty start. "...Kiddo, this is your biological father."

Zhou Xiaojuan: ???

Zhou Xiaojuan asked seriously, "Daddy, how did you manage to trick such a high-quality man back then? Was he attracted to the way you splatter soup on your clothes whenever you eat instant noodles, or to how you can do the splits when you trip on flat ground?"

The CEO Lu Renlai had only stumbled twice in his life.

The first time was three years ago, after a charity gala, when a little bastard slept with him and ran off.

The second time was three years later, when he came across a clueless streamer on a live-streaming platform, coughing after drinking too fast. In the corner of the frame sat a kid who looked eighty percent like him.

Lu Renlai narrowed his eyes at the screen. "...Zhou Jianhuan?"

Without hesitation, Lu Renlai booked a plane ticket.

To Zhou Xiaojuan, even though his daddy was known across the internet as a "natural disaster in the lifestyle category," that did nothing to hide his clueless nature: he could blow up the kitchen while cooking and forget his keys when he went out.

To Zhou Jianhuan, even though his son was a genius toddler with off-the-charts intelligence, that did nothing to change his tsundere streak: he complained about his dad every day, yet secretly tucked him in at night and depended on him completely.

Zhou Xiaojuan and Zhou Jianhuan: This family can't function without me!

*

Until one day, Lu Renlai showed up at their door. "Zhou Jianhuan, care to explain?"

Zhou Jianhuan felt his world collapse. He grabbed the kid and backed away. "Th-this is what they gave me after Meituan Select went bankrupt!"

Zhou Xiaojuan held his forehead. "Daddy, I'm three years old, not three hours old."

Lu Renlai: "..."

Never mind. Now he had to take care of both father and son.
