Orange-Scented White Moonlight

["Married, Yet Still Strangers" is complete. Also ABO. Please add it to your favorites!]

Blurb:

Shi Qiu is a delicate, frail single omega who gets pregnant, and the father is Lin Fengluo, the man he's had a crush on!

Everyone who knows Lin Fengluo knows he has an unreachable moonlight. Lin Fengluo protects this moonlight so well that nobody knows who it is or where they are.

Shi Qiu only managed to guilt Lin Fengluo into using his pheromones to help him through his heat because he was allergic to suppressants, and Lin Fengluo happened to be accompanying him to the hospital for a checkup.

Caressing his still-flat stomach, Shi Qiu can already picture Lin Fengluo kicking him out and leaving him to sleep under a bridge and scavenge for trash.

But after learning that Shi Qiu is pregnant, Lin Fengluo actually takes him to register their marriage.

Shi Qiu: Does this mean I'm getting status through my child?

Later, Shi Qiu realizes that his habits are remarkably similar to those of Lin Fengluo's moonlight. Could he be a stand-in?

Then Shi Qiu accidentally breaks the fountain pen Lin Fengluo's moonlight gave him.

Shi Qiu: "Should I buy you another one?"

Lin Fengluo: "Sure."

Well, it turns out he was the moonlight all along!

Reading Guide:

1. This is a melodramatic, sweet little story. Best not to overthink it.

2. It's quite short, so it makes a good bedtime story.

3. The two leads may sometimes seem a little dim. Please be understanding. Falling in love makes people less intelligent, after all.

"Seven Million for a Boyfriend"

Su Yanuo spends seven million to keep an alpha. The little A has quite a temper, but at least he's handsome, fit, and vigorous, and he does all the laundry, cooking, and cleaning.

Wait, why are my parents so friendly with this little A? Could I be adopted, and he be their real child?

The contract is about to expire. The day before it does, Su Yanuo asks, "Would you be my real boyfriend? The kind who gets a marriage certificate."

Wait, who did you say you were? The son of Su Yanuo's parents' moonlight!

Pre-order: "Married, Yet Still Strangers"

To avenge his older brother, Zhuang Yan plots to marry Yue Lu, the young master of the Yue family.

The Yue family has assets and connections throughout the country, making them the perfect means to get his revenge. To be chosen as a bride for the Yue family, Zhuang Yan deliberately turns himself into the ideal rich-family wife. He even stages a scene where an illegitimate child tries to seize the family fortune, forcing Yue Lu to marry him.

But on their wedding day, Yue Lu runs away, leaving Zhuang Yan to go through with the ceremony alone. Zhuang Yan tells himself: "Be patient now, or you'll ruin the greater plan. A real man never lets revenge go unanswered!"

A month later, Zhuang Yan "runs into" Yue Lu at a dessert shop. Yue Lu hasn't been home for a month.

Zhuang Yan expects Yue Lu to be cold to him, or at best to treat him like a stranger. To his surprise, Yue Lu takes the initiative and talks to him.

After that,

Yue Lu makes a point of picking Zhuang Yan up after work;

when Zhuang Yan goes into heat, Yue Lu takes time off to help him get through it;

on Zhuang Yan's birthday, Yue Lu takes him to the countryside to set off fireworks;

when Zhuang Yan is off work, Yue Lu spends the whole day with him at the library.

If you ignore the little incident at their wedding, they're just like a loving couple.

So when Zhuang Yan learns that Yue Lu has been framed and pushed into an early rut, he goes to help him without a second thought.

But afterward, Yue Lu actually wants a divorce!

Fine, you bastard. You get what you want and then pretend you don't know me? He has to confront Yue Lu in person.

But Yue Lu seems to be deliberately avoiding him and even goes away on a month-long business trip. Meanwhile, Zhuang Yan discovers that he's pregnant.

No matter. You may not care that an illegitimate child will ruin your reputation, but your mother certainly will.

Zhuang Yan finds Yue Lu's mother and uses the baby to negotiate for her help investigating his older brother's case. As long as the case remains unsolved, he'll keep the baby. The baby can only stay in the womb for ten months at most, so Yue Lu's mother has no choice but to get busy cleaning up her son's mess.

While Zhuang Yan relies on other alphas' pheromones to get through his pregnancy symptoms, Yue Lu pulls him back into his arms. "You're carrying my child, and you're still throwing yourself into other alphas' arms?"

He was the one who asked for a divorce first, so how is it Zhuang Yan's fault? Settling old and new scores at once, Zhuang Yan slaps Yue Lu across the face. "Mr. Yue, we're already divorced."

Only then does Yue Lu realize that the person he married back then was Zhuang Yan. And Zhuang Yan finally learns that Yue Lu has secretly loved him for years.
