After Accidentally Seducing a Clingy Merman

[Clearheaded, resilient heroine x pregnant man pursuing the heroine]

Yun Zhao, daughter of the former sect leader of the Yunhua Sect, was born frail but enjoyed a noble status.

The reason was that her fiance was the current sect leader, while her senior sister and junior brother each headed a peak. With them backing her, Yun Zhao could at least throw her weight around in the cultivation world.

Until one day, Yun Zhao had a dream.

In the dream, her fiance clashed swords with her over another woman, fighting to the death.

Though she had glimpsed the secrets of fate, Yun Zhao took every precaution, yet still fell for that woman's scheme. Drugged, she tumbled off a cliff...

At the bottom of the cliff, she met a beauty.

And so she made a mistake every woman would make.

Yue Ci was the only merfolk in the world.

He sealed away his five senses and set up a barrier so he could endure his mating season.

Yet a woman suddenly appeared, broke through his barrier, and shared the most intimate moment with him.

He was no longer pure.

Yue Ci had planned to kill the woman who had taken everything from him and then escaped, burying that sinful past.

But he never expected to become pregnant with that woman's child.

Yue Ci's long lashes trembled as he placed a hand on his stomach and murmured, "Then she deserves to die even more, doesn't she?"

[Bonus Scene]

When Yue Ci found Yun Zhao, she was tussling with another man.

He concealed the murderous intent in his eyes, flung the irritating man aside, and stepped between them. Under Yun Zhao's puzzled gaze, he said something shocking.

"I'm pregnant. It's your child."

Yun Zhao's eyes widened. She never thought someone could blackmail her like this.

"You don't want to take responsibility?"

The man's eyes brimmed with reproach, making her look every bit the heartless cad.

Yun Zhao gritted her teeth. "Fine. If you can give birth to it, I'll raise it." She refused to believe a man could give birth to anything.

But ten months later, when the baby arrived wailing into the world, Yun Zhao held the infant in her arms, at a loss.

So men really could give birth.
