[Blurb]

[Marriage Before Love + Possessive Love + Childbirth]

☆Proud, flamboyant son of a military family, a teasing bottom × Older, rugged overlord top who knows he spoils him☆

The Qi family was falsely accused of treason. As the general's eldest son, Qi Xinglan was exiled to the southern border with his younger sister. But as they passed through Xiyuan, the soldiers escorting them suddenly developed improper designs on Qi Xinglan and his legitimate younger sister.

Forced to flee with his sister, Qi Xinglan was badly wounded and could barely walk. He had no choice but to collapse where he was. At that moment, he thought that he was about to meet his father before he had even taken revenge, and felt a little guilty about leaving things unfinished.

Then he thought of his sister, who was only thirteen, and couldn't bear to leave her behind. Even as he lost consciousness, he was still worrying about what would become of Qi Chaoting.

But when he opened his eyes again, he was in a warm royal tent. A stern-looking man entered at the sound of movement, gazing at him with eyes full of tenderness.

"Who are you?"

"I'm your husband."

When he woke up, Qi Xinglan discovered that this "king" had brought him back to his own territory.

Thinking of the people hunting him outside, Qi Xinglan decided that leaving now would only anger the man, and he would likely die anyway. It was hardly a wise plan. The man seemed powerful, so if Qi Xinglan pretended to go along with him, won his heart completely, and then made use of him...

That would bring his great plan of revenge one step closer to success!

To that end, Qi Xinglan used every trick he had to make Huilin fall deeply in love with him and willingly let himself be used. Qi Xinglan even gave him an heir. But somehow... all it took was for him to stand there, and the man had already fallen for him.

Even more frightening, as he kept deceiving Huilin, Qi Xinglan realized that he had fallen for him too.

"Huilin, would you be willing to become emperor for me?" Qi Xinglan asked, testing the waters.

Without the slightest hesitation, Huilin replied, "Whatever you want me to do, I'll do it."

Lovers become true love | Both are each other's only one | Celebrity bottom × CEO top

Guan Nanyi had spent several years in the entertainment industry. He was impressive in both looks and talent, and had even gained a little fame.

But he had turned down too many powerful men and blocked his own path in the industry. People kept snatching away his future opportunities, and he was on the verge of becoming "yesterday's news." His company's boss issued a strict ultimatum: he had to generate some buzz, or they'd freeze him out.

Just then, his manager came back from some banquet with a rumor: the heir to the Duan family liked him. Thinking of his mother, who was bedridden, Guan Nanyi knew he could no longer turn such an offer down. In the end, he wrote down the room number his manager had found out.

That night, CEO Duan opened his hotel room door and found Guan Nanyi standing obediently outside.

Duan Wangjin: ...Who are you?

Guan Nanyi: No idea. They said you liked me, so I came.

Having never encountered anything like this before, CEO Duan screamed inwardly: Damn it, I was just saying that casually! Who could have guessed they'd actually find me someone so gorgeous yet aloof, so gentle yet innocent and pure, so sweet and obedient?

But he'd seen enough to know the ropes, and immediately slipped into the role of sugar daddy.

Guan Nanyi had no good resources? He'd provide them!

Guan Nanyi was being bullied? He'd stand up for him!

Guan Nanyi was injured while filming? He'd take care of him!

Guan Nanyi's mother passed away? He'd comfort him!

Guan Nanyi got drunk and acted up? He'd reluctantly let him kiss him a few times.

People in the industry watched and thought: Oh, CEO Duan just got the beauty he wanted. What's the big deal? Why all the fuss?

Guan Nanyi's boss and manager: Nanyi, you and CEO Duan have to stay happy together!

Netizens: Just passing by to ship them.

Guan Nanyi tried to explain himself: I really am not dating the CEO!

Everyone: Oh, got it.

Years later, CEO Duan woke up in a wonderfully soft, cozy bed. Looking at the person in his arms, he couldn't help smiling. "Good thing I made the first move back then."

[Bonus Scene]

Guan Nanyi took the family pet on a variety show and warned Duan Wangjin in advance not to reveal their relationship.

Duan Wangjin readily agreed.

But while filming, Guan Nanyi watched his cat leap straight out of his arms and run directly to Duan Wangjin.

Guan Nanyi: It's over. The sky's falling.
