Please add my upcoming novel to your collection: Why Hasn't My Husband Had His Rut Yet?
Blurb:
After working herself to the bone as a kindergarten teacher, Shen Qingyue dies from pulling too many all-nighters and wakes up as a frail, beautiful young master in a wealthy-family novel.
The good news: His family is rich, so he doesn't have to be a wage slave anymore!
The bad news: He's about to marry a rich playboy he's never met, then endure a miserable life of infidelity, domestic abuse, and divorce.
Shen Qingyue: "...I'm out."
In the blink of an eye, he ignores his family's protests, takes his eldest brother's kid, Doudou, and runs off to join a variety show for parents and children.
*
In the original novel, his character is frail, stupid, and vicious. After suffering both mental and physical abuse, he raises Doudou to become a dark, twisted villainous nobody, and ultimately meets a terrible end himself.
Luckily, everything is only just beginning. Shen Qingyue looks down at the toddler clinging to his leg, sweetly calling him "Uncle Su-su." The child's lips are red, his teeth white, and his bright, watery eyes seem to hold stars.
Shen Qingyue (clenching his fist): "Baby, Uncle's here."
*
After the show goes live, Shen Qingyue only wants to change the original story's course, but is surprised to learn that the program has become a huge hit.
The combination of a frail beauty and an adorable, well-behaved little cutie sends the livestream's viewer count soaring. His and Doudou's Room Five becomes the undisputed most popular livestream!
Even the production team, which had been scraping by with inadequate equipment and funding, lands a ton of sponsorships and suddenly has money to burn!
The livestream comments fly by in a blur:
[We're planning to have a kid this year. Can we have Doudou? /doge]
[Qingqing, my destined wife.]
[Ahhh, can you send my baby to my house with that handsome uncle?]
[Doudou, here's a secret: I gave birth to you. Come to Mommy!]
[Hey, Qingqing! Let's get marriaged!]
*
Because of his sickly-beauty character setting, Shen Qingyue has plenty of childcare skills but nowhere to use them, so he pours all his knowledge into Gu Lianzhi, who's also brought his sister's child to the show.
Gu Lianzhi is eager to learn, asking Shen Qingyue about every last detail of childcare, supposedly because he loves looking after kids.
Several months after the show ends, Shen Qingyue holds his pregnancy test results and thinks of his husband, who's so enthusiastic about making babies. His silence is deafening.
*
Both leads are single and have no past romantic experience.
The setting is an alternate modern world.
He raises his biological older brother's child in the first part, and there will be a pregnancy plot later.
Upcoming: Why Hasn't My Husband Had His Rut Yet?
*
Lu Wan has been spoiled since childhood, and after marriage, Zhong Lin dotes on him so much that he gets away with anything.
Before leaving home, he had just finished reading a domineering ABO romance about a wealthy family and forced love.
After a car accident, he forgets everything about his real life and becomes convinced that he's an Omega with a defective gland and no pheromones, forced to marry a top-tier Alpha to save his family.
That powerful, ruthless, domineering Alpha, who could destroy the Lu family with a snap of his fingers, is the husband who stays by his hospital bed every day to care for him.
At the hospital, Zhong Lin won't let him get out of bed on his own or skip even one pill. He even personally checks how many glasses of water Lu Wan drinks each day.
Lu Wan is secretly alarmed.
The top-tier Alpha's legendary possessiveness is no exaggeration.
To save his family, he decides to lie low for the time being.
He starts planning how to use his beauty to cloud the capitalist's judgment, drain the capitalist during his heat, and get pregnant with an heir as soon as possible, so he can seize all the Zhong family's assets in one fell swoop.
The only problem is that he can't release pheromones.
*
To keep the Alpha from discovering his defective gland, Lu Wan secretly buys a bottle of perfume. Every day after showering, he sprays a couple of squirts on the back of his neck, pretending it's his pheromones.
But Zhong Lin shows no reaction, even after several days.
Lu Wan can only drop a hint: "Don't you think the air around us feels a little different?" Without showing it, he exposes his fragrant neck to the Alpha.
Zhong Lin puts down his documents and reaches out to him. "Come here."
Zhong Lin wraps an arm around his waist and pulls him into his embrace. The man's nose presses against the back of his neck as he slowly takes a sniff.
Lu Wan is nervous. "Can you smell it?"
"Yeah."
"You're leaking a lot."
Zhong Lin fixes him with a dark gaze.
Lu Wan immediately goes on guard.
Could his pheromones be so potent that they're enough to send a top-tier Alpha into a rut?
*
A concussion means he can't be subjected to stress. The doctor tells Zhong Lin not to rush to correct him, but to go along with the patient's understanding and gently guide him.
They've known each other for five years and been married for two. Even after forgetting everything, Lu Wan still instinctively depends on Zhong Lin and does what he says. The forced marriage only exists in Lu Wan's head.
As for why Zhong Lin doesn't set him straight...
The doctor's warning not to distress the patient is one reason.
Another is that a defective Omega's five bouts of irregular heat each month are genuinely hard to resist.
[Bonus scene]
One night, Lu Wan is so thoroughly worn out that his mind is hazy when he suddenly feels a sharp pain at the back of his neck.
He instantly comes to and covers it with his hand. "You can't permanently mark me!"
Zhong Lin remains calm. "Too late."
How wicked!
Top-tier Alphas are all vile, shameless creatures. They wait until an Omega is too weak to resist, then take advantage and, once the deed is done, casually inform him: You're completely mine now.
When Zhong Lin sees that he hasn't said anything for a while, he prepares to pull away.
Lu Wan grabs him around the waist. "You can't leave."
The Omega's cheeks are flushed, but his expression is serious. "After a permanent mark, we have to stay joined for a while, or it might not take."
"How long?"
Lu Wan answers cautiously, "At least...tonight."
Zhong Lin nods thoughtfully.
"Okay."
He'll remember that.
[After the car accident, the protagonist's perception is confused. This is an ordinary urban story with no fantasy elements.]
Theme: Keep your feet on the ground, and a bright future awaits.
I think it's impossible that he can't afford it, and he doesn't want to spend so much money on his son. She can tell from the fact that he asked the male protagonist to get married. With a little research, you can find out who the dealer is, and this grandfather doesn't seem to care much about Doudou, otherwise how could the child not eat for a day [angry]
This is human nature. Don't get angry when you wake up.
. What dad. Just go home, okay? Leave the child in good hands
I really hate this sentence. It's so offensive. It's so annoying.
It's okay, baby, he will be your aunt in the future~(
What a straight ball, bang bang
Oops, it's still a baby after all [lop-eared rabbit head]
Are all the children asleep?
Asleep!
The main character is Shen Ba, and there are too many descriptions of Zai.
Tsk tsk tsk, it doesn't matter~ I'll just have insomnia all night~~
