May You Be Well [Matriarchy]

A female-dominant GB story with male pregnancy, written for my own amusement.

Yun Jinghai, the notorious ruffian and Prince Huai, sees the husband Ji Huaiqing and lecherously harasses him. Ji Huaiqing’s wife, Shao Jue, is a censor who has always despised the dissolute Yun Jinghai, so this only adds fuel to the fire. She publicly impeaches Yun Jinghai, dragging all sorts of other cases into the open. The empress can’t punish her younger sister, so she half placates and half threatens Shao Jue, promoting her in title while demoting her in practice and sending her to a post in the provinces. To everyone’s surprise, Shao Jue dies inexplicably in office. Then, on the very day she is to be buried, another scandal erupts: Ji Huaiqing, her surviving husband, is dragged from the Shao family funeral hall by people from the prince’s estate and forced into a wedding sedan. He has to marry Yun Jinghai, the chief suspect in his former wife’s murder. Ji Huaiqing threatens suicide, so Yun Jinghai uses the Shao family as leverage, leaving him no choice but to give in. Even so, every day Ji Huaiqing hates her enough to want to eat her alive. He finds Yun Jinghai unbearably annoying, but she loves getting in his face. The more he scowls, the happier she looks, as if to say, “I love that you hate me and can’t do anything about it.” Over time, Ji Huaiqing gradually realizes Yun Jinghai may not be as awful as the rumors say. With her help, he uncovers the truth behind his former wife’s death, finally sets aside his guilt, and runs toward the happiness before him…
