I Mistook the Villainous Crown Prince for a Husband and Raised Him

[Please add my upcoming story to your favorites: Reporting in! Crown Prince, You're Going to Be a Dad! Blurb at the bottom~]

After waking up reborn in the womb, I became a shuang'er in the Marquis of Zhenyuan's household in a political intrigue novel, a cannon-fodder character who gets killed by the tyrant as soon as he appears.

Thankfully, the plot hadn't started yet, and I was still a little kid. My father had power, my dad had money, and my big brother was talented. I was set for an official's childhood of lying flat.

To escape my future arranged partner, I decided to find myself a child bridegroom in Jinling. Important point: he had to be good-looking!

Smitten by a handsome boy, I stuffed the purse in my arms, the gold lock around my neck, the gold bracelet on my wrist, and the little jade pendant at my waist into his arms all at once. Then I patted my chest with confidence.

"Big Brother, be my child bridegroom! My family is rich and powerful, so I'll make sure you have the best of everything. And I'm very good-looking, too!"

When someone bullied my child bridegroom, I sent the young protagonist top tumbling to the ground.

When my child bridegroom said he was shy, I didn't tell anyone he was my child bridegroom.

When he said he was afraid of the cold and the dark, I happily rolled up my bedding and went to warm his bed.

The rule was simple: spoil your own child bridegroom!

One day, I saw the child bridegroom I'd raised with such effort dressed in a four-clawed python robe, moving betrothal gifts into my residence one chest at a time.

Song Ziyu: ??? Who's this? Is he my child bridegroom? My child bridegroom is the Crown Prince?

So I thought I was raising him, but actually, I was the one being raised.

I thought I'd painstakingly raised a kid, while everyone else thought I was playing childhood sweethearts with the Crown Prince.

Song Ziyu was numb. He'd actually made the Crown Prince, the villain who later became the tyrant who killed him, his child bridegroom!

Song Ziyu: I was such an idiot back then, such an idiot. I thought I'd raised myself a child bridegroom, thought I was getting the better end of the deal, thought I'd secured myself a way out. Who would have thought?!

What child bridegroom? What childhood sweethearts? It was all his scheme. I was nothing but a tool he'd used to escape the plot!

Nope, I'm out of here! I'll find some other handsome big brother to spoil!

The Crown Prince, who had been waiting at the city gates, swept the sneaky little runaway into his arms, looking aggrieved. "I'm already your child bridegroom. You can't take advantage of the fact that you're a shuang'er to be fickle, ruin my reputation, then try to run off pregnant with our child, take the baby with you, abandon the father, and refuse to take responsibility!"

Song Ziyu: "Huh? Pah! You wicked schemer, get lost!"

Xiao Yanqing: He had intended to destroy the Great Yu along with himself. But when he thought of how the Great Yu still had this one person, the one who should have belonged to him alone, he suddenly couldn't bear to do it.

A beautiful, shameless, carefree beauty-loving bottom vs a scheming, fated-to-be-powerless, masterful actor of a crazy top

The top isn't a good person. The bottom heals and teaches him. They spoil each other.

[Reader's Guide]

1. 1v1, both untouched, happy ending. Light political intrigue. The early story focuses on raising a child and political intrigue, with more emphasis on the plot. The later story focuses on romance and career, with more emphasis on feelings. Overall, plot and romance are evenly balanced.

2. Shuang'er are also called ge'er. Their bodies are built like men's, except they can get pregnant.

3. The top is six years older. They begin their relationship as adults, and the extras include a birth.

4. All the logic was written over milk tea by the author, so don't insult the author. (Runs off with a pot over my head.)

5. If you don't like the early child-raising storyline and want to read about them as adults, you can start from chapter 91.

Ji Xianyun never expected that one outing would send him transmigrating into a book, where he became the heir of the Duke of Ji's household. He was a background character who didn't want to marry the Crown Prince and hanged himself instead.

Ji Xianyun: "You don't want to get married? Just talk it out! Why kill yourself?"

Determined to go out and have a proper talk with him, Ji Xianyun looked at the handsome Crown Prince before him, who clearly had a muscular build and impressive stamina. He immediately swallowed his words, twisted his ankle, and fell right into the man's arms. Looking up with a shy smile, he said, "Husband, oh, I mean, Your Highness."

He'd marry him! He'd die before passing up a catch like this. What kind of person wouldn't want a taste?

Who says he only knows how to build a career? As long as everything works, he doesn't need love!

Xiao Jingyu had always known that the heir of the Duke of Ji's household only wanted to marry a woman and have children to inherit the dukedom. In fact, he'd threatened to kill himself rather than marry the Crown Prince. But the person in front of him, who practically wanted to cling to him and called him "husband" the instant they met, seemed to be that very heir.

Was there something wrong with his intelligence network, or was there something wrong with this man's brain?

Xiao Jingyu at first: "Why are you calling me husband? Guards, take him back to my residence! Don't let him climb into my bed! Ji Xianyun, who said you could take off my clothes? Take your hands off me!"

Xiao Jingyu later: "If you won't sleep with me, where do you want to sleep? Once every seven days? It should be seven times a day! My Crown Princess only has me in his heart!"

While Ji Xianyun was eating the snacks someone had specially bought after court and congratulating himself on being so irresistible, a crackling sound suddenly rang in his mind, followed by an ear-piercing wail.

"Waaah! You villain! How could you seduce my male lead, take his virginity, and get pregnant with his child? You're going to make this world go off the rails! Waaah!"

Ji Xianyun: What the heck? Who's that? Is this the legendary System? And who's pregnant?

The System: "You'd better run before the Heavenly Dao finds out! If it realizes you've ruined its baby, it'll erase you from existence!"

Ji Xianyun helplessly sorted through the banknotes he'd managed to get his hands on, left behind a farewell letter, and ran for his life.

Five years later.

"If you see a handsome big brother later, what are you supposed to call him?"

"Big Brother," came the child's soft voice. "If he's not handsome, I'll tell Father to talk to him, and call Father 'Father.' I remember it all."

"Good boy." Ji Xianyun was satisfied.

"I'll watch out for handsome big brothers for you, Father. When I find one, I'll help set you up."

Ji Xianyun was touched. That's my boy, just like his father.

At the Qiqiao Festival lantern fair.

"Big Brother, look! This big brother is so handsome." The little one led the man over.

Ji Xianyun stared at the handsome face before him, trembling. Kid, do you know who you're bringing over?

"I heard you're single and looking for someone?" The man's voice was cold.

The little one: "Yep."

"Didn't you meet anyone suitable along the way?"

The little one shook his head and sighed. "Nope. I found four, five, six, but none of them worked out."

"Four, five, six?"

Ji Xianyun: Kid, stop talking! If you say any more, your dad's life is over!

A devoted-seeming but actually carefree flirtatious bottom who only wants to enjoy himself vs an outwardly abstinent but actually devoted, self-deluding top who eventually comes around

1v1, both pure, pregnancy

The bottom doesn't fall in love with anyone else later. Those four, five, six weren't romantic partners.

From beginning to end, the top and bottom only have each other.

The System only makes a brief appearance.
