The White Moonlight Is Actually a Black-Hearted Lotus

[70% of the main text is protected against piracy. Creating a novel is not easy, so please support the official release!] Ji Yuanhui was reborn and gained the ability to read minds. The skill only worked on his husband. When he went hunting with a young general, taking time away from his husband, he asked whether it bothered him. Pei Xu simply replied gently, "Your Highness, it's always good to make more friends." But Ji Yuanhui heard his true thoughts: [How annoying. I need to find a chance to get rid of him.] When his childhood friend fell ill and he went to visit, Pei Xu looked concerned and said, "It's only a minor illness, but you shouldn't ignore it. Be sure to take good care of yourself." [Heaven help me, hurry up and die.] The young master of Minister Li's household got drunk and slung an arm around Ji Yuanhui's shoulders as he chatted with him. When the man's mouth was about to reach his ear, Pei Xu pressed his lips together but still managed a faint smile. "Young Master Li, please mind your manners." [You're done for. You won't live past tomorrow.] Ji Yuanhui: ... . He and Pei Xu had known each other since they were nobodies. They had married young and shared a childhood bond. Through every night spent together in each other's arms, Ji Yuanhui had been certain they would grow old side by side. Pei Xu had always been frail. When Ji Yuanhui brought him into his household at seventeen, it took a long time of pampering and careful attention before he finally put on a little weight. Ji Yuanhui wouldn't dare lay a finger on him, afraid he'd hurt him with the slightest careless touch. But Pei Xu didn't understand his good intentions. He just loved provoking him on purpose. Ji Yuanhui knitted his brows and held Pei Xu's chin, keeping him at arm's length. "Don't you have anything important to do?" Because he was weak, Pei Xu always spoke softly, as if to save his strength. "Giving birth to the heir soon is important, too." Then Ji Yuanhui grabbed Pei Xu and made him drink two large bowls of medicinal broth. Pei Xu furrowed his brows. "It's bitter..." "Drink it anyway." Ji Yuanhui sneered. "Didn't you say you wanted to give me an heir? Get your body in shape, and you can have two in three years, three in five. Have eight or ten of them." Pei Xu: ... [I was only saying it!] 1. As always, it's a big, bold, mutual love story. Both leads are crazily in love with each other, and the romance is guaranteed to be sweet. They're both faithful in their past and present lives, and it's a one-on-one romance. The older one is four years older. This is a pregnancy story, and there will be a baby later on. Only men can get pregnant, and the pregnancy is inexplicably possible, with no scientific explanation. 2. Both are reborn, but they don't remember everything right away. They'll gradually recall their past lives as the story develops. The couple dote on each other, so this may not suit readers who are very particular about which partner takes the lead. Coming soon: My Dead Ex Suddenly Attacks Me Ever since some day, posts about paranormal phenomena have started circulating online. Although the clothes he tossed around in a mess the day before would be washed and hung up by the next morning, his annoying suitor would suddenly disappear one day, and even after he showered at night, he'd still wake up feeling sticky the next morning... Chu Xiu still thought his life was perfectly normal. Maybe he'd tidied up his clothes while sleepwalking. Maybe his suitor had moved away. Maybe he got sweaty in his sleep, leaving him all sticky. Everything was fine. There wasn't a single problem. It was all nonsense, and he wasn't going to believe it. After all, he was a teacher, and he taught political theory. He firmly believed in Marxism-Leninism. Then one day, a group of people carrying identification knocked on his door. They said they were conducting a routine investigation and asked who had lived in the house. "Just me and my boyfriend." Chu Xiu pushed up his glasses. "Officers, I'm a teacher, and he's a butcher. We're both law-abiding citizens." The visitor continued, "Why are you here alone? Where's your boyfriend?" "He's dead. Car accident." Chu Xiu answered curtly. "About six months ago." The visitor looked apologetic, then discreetly offered a kind warning. "Things have been unsettled lately. You need to be especially careful if someone close to you has died recently. If you encounter anything unscientific, remember to contact us." "Thank you." After seeing them out, Chu Xiu closed the door. Someone suddenly pressed up behind him, held his chin, and kissed him, asking what he wanted for dinner. It was his boyfriend. "Let's have pasta." He wore an expression close to happiness. "I bought tomato sauce yesterday." There was nothing strange about that. After all, ever since his boyfriend died, he hadn't been quite right in the head. A little scene: It was late at night again. Su Ze watched Chu Xiu come home, looking exhausted and carrying a pool cue smeared with something unidentified. Then Chu Xiu went to the bathroom to wash the sticky blood off himself. Su Ze said with a pained look, "Honey, honestly, I don't think it would be so bad if I were dead..." Chu Xiu gazed at him tenderly and replied gently, "No, darling. There's still hope for you." Su Ze felt even more distressed. "If I'm just holding you back..." "Shut up." Chu Xiu cut him off, his expression turning cold. "If I say there's hope, then there's hope. Don't you understand?" Su Ze shuddered. "I-I understand..."
