My Silly Beluga Dad!

*(I'm away doing an internship over summer vacation, everyone, so I don't have time to update the novel. Sorry, everyone. Don't wait for me.) My name is Chen Xiaotan, the top human matchmaker by sales. I was doxxed and cyberbullied to death, then opened my eyes to find myself a little white whale in the ocean. I can't hunt, so I can only return to my old line of work, matchmaking animals in exchange for food.

I accidentally found an injured orca. It was gentle-tempered and treated me well. After it recovered, we depended on each other for survival, and I treated it like my big brother.

Big Brother Orca was so cool when he hunted. Its sleek lines and smooth skin were the crown of a king at the top of the food chain, and it raised me until I was plump and well-fed.

But I never expected its true nature to show itself so quickly. During breeding season, it ignored my resistance and struggles and mated with me.

I'm not even female, and we're not the same species. Why would it do that to me!

That would've been bad enough, but before long my belly started to swell, and it vanished without a trace. I thought I'd contracted a terminal illness and had also been abandoned by that scummy orca after it had its way with me. I stopped fighting and decided to wait for death.

But I didn't die. Amid agonizing pain and churning seawater, I actually gave birth to a white orca calf!

Looking at the adorable little calf, my worldview was reshaped. "Is this really the animal kingdom? How can this even be possible? Did reproductive isolation get eaten or something?"

Well, the calf was born, so I had to raise it. The road to raising a baby was full of difficulties. Fortunately, all my good friends in the pod were willing to help care for it. I had to find the calf's father, that damned orca! I was going to take the baby back to him!

Who could've guessed that I wouldn't find Big Brother Orca, but would instead be captured by an orca pod and trapped in a rocky palace by the ferocious, terrifying Orca King, with my belly getting no rest day after day.

I was at my wits' end. My belly was big again, so I could only rack my brains to escape with my baby.

Later, during an ocean crisis, I saw Big Brother Orca again and learned that it was the "guardian deity" of the entire ocean, an idol to all sea creatures, and the celebrated "Orca King."

And the orca that had kept me from leaving the rocky palace all that time was him... It couldn't be helped. After giving birth to a baby, I'd gotten stupid, and my sonar system wasn't working right either. All orcas looked the same to me. I was face-blind and didn't recognize him.

You can't blame me for that. It's the orcas' fault for all looking alike!

After we recognized each other, I thought my good days had finally arrived. But why wouldn't he leave me alone even while I was pregnant? Give my belly a couple of days off, you brute! If you don't treat me better, I'll run away again...

*Orca King Cigerel was rebellious and loved adventure. After getting a minor injury in a battle with a megalodon, a little white whale thought it was going to die. Not only did he feed it anti-inflammatory seaweed, he also hunted and brought it food.

He thought the little white whale was a bit dim, but the more he looked at it, the cuter it became. Later, when his family pressured him into an arranged marriage, he ran away from the wedding and went to raise the little white whale instead.

He raised the little white whale until it was plump and adorable. Then he suddenly couldn't bear the thought of some female whale getting his well-fed little white whale, so he decided to go all the way and mate with it himself.

An ocean crisis forced him to return to his pod. He planned to deal with the crisis alongside them and then go back for his little white whale, but it was gone!

After going to great lengths to find him, he discovered that he already had a baby?

Furious, the Orca King carried him off and trapped him among the reefs, mating with him every day to teach him the consequences of betrayal.

But he never imagined that the calf his little white whale was carrying was his...

And then his little white whale ran off again with a big belly!

Cigerel began searching the entire ocean for him again. When he found him, lots of male white whales were courting him.

The ferocious, powerful Orca King smacked all the white whales away with his tail fin and shielded his little white whale and their calf. "Damn it, that's my wife! Are you all tired of living?"

The white whales scattered in every direction. "...This can't be right, can it? How did an orca get together with a white whale?"

Chen Xiaotan: "It really is pretty weird. The little white whale is confused too."

*An imaginative animal-world romance about daily life and giving birth, not a traditional animal-world story. The whole thing is complete nonsense, so don't take it seriously. Don't apply human values to animal behavior, and don't compare it to real life.

*One-on-one sweet romance, told in third person.
