The Frail Beauty's Wolfish Live-in Son-in-Law

Clever, sickly beauty shou x strong, mixed-blood foreign loyal puppy gong

Cen Jinqing is the only child of the direct line of the Cen family, one of the four great families of Jiangnan. The family head's wife died young, leaving him with just one frail, sickly ger.

Everyone used to think the Cen family head would take a second wife and have a son to inherit the family's vast estate. But after all these years, the only news that came was that the Cen family was looking for a son-in-law.

"Whichever family gets their son to marry that precious darling of the Cen family will be set for life!"

"If you want to go, go ahead. I don't want to wait on some ancestor."

"Isn't the Cen family head afraid he'll end up handing over all his wealth to someone else? How long can that sickly weakling possibly last?"

When the Cen family head heard the gossip outside, he was so furious he nearly blew a fuse. Nobody knew that the reason the family business kept growing was because his precious ger was the one making plans behind the scenes.

Though people talked that way, plenty still thought marrying a frail, short-lived ancestor in exchange for the entire Cen family fortune was a great deal. After the Cen family announced they were seeking a son-in-law, matchmakers nearly wore out their doorstep.

Meanwhile, in the Cen family courtyard,

Cen Jinqing was lazily snuggling in the arms of the green-eyed wolf cub he'd bought, keeping warm. The man's body was all muscle, broad and well-defined, with an absolutely divine feel. Cen Jinqing couldn't get enough of him.

With such a devoted, handsome human-sized furnace, who would want to meet those sorry excuses for men hoping to marry into the family?

Tuoba Yu was the mixed-blood son of northern barbarians and Central Plains people. His status was awkward, and neither side accepted him. He grew up among piles of corpses.

Then one day, he was sold to the watery lands of Jiangnan. At death's door, he met a person of noble birth.

From then on, the savage lone wolf learned to love quietly, carefully sheathing his sharp claws and fangs, afraid he might accidentally hurt the master he cherished above all else.

Reader's Guide:

1. Younger gong, shou is two years older. Slice of life, mpreg story (important). If that's not your thing, don't read.

2. An entirely fictional setting with no logic. The schemes in the story are simple, and the author's intelligence is limited. Everything serves the romance.

3. I've read too many stories about infertility where the woman is the one who gets examined, treated, suffers, and takes medicine, while the man gets to disappear without a care. It really made me mad. If your seed is bad, don't blame the soil. So I wanted to write a story where the soil is poor but the seed is good, and they can still have baby after baby (hands on hips).
