I Got Pregnant with My Archrival's Baby on a Dating Show

Ji Qingchi and Shen Suye had been at odds for years.

They had once starred in the same TV drama. Their teams fought over billing, and the two fell out for years. But at an awards banquet, someone drugged both their drinks. They accidentally got together, and afterward Ji Qingchi was too mortified to face him, so he bolted and blocked all of Shen Suye’s contact information.

Because of the exploitative contract he had with his agency, Ji Qingchi had little say in anything. Since he was good-looking, they insisted he join a dating reality show. Ji Qingchi thought he only had to go through the motions, but on the first day of filming, he discovered that his sworn enemy was there too.

He immediately asked sourly, “What brings you here?”

Shen Suye scowled too. “Nobody said I couldn’t come.”

Unfortunately, Ji Qingchi didn’t catch Shen Suye’s meaning and thought he had come to provoke him. He was so furious he nearly started smoking. He refused to put on an act for the cameras and openly sniped at Shen Suye, leaving both fanbases ready to explode during the livestream. Then, during an outdoor shoot, he accidentally twisted his ankle. Shen Suye, standing nearby, casually helped him up, and the very next second...

Ji Qingchi threw up.

Shen Suye was a little stunned. “Did seeing me make you sick?”

Ji Qingchi said nothing, just kept vomiting.

When he kept dry-heaving on the show, and it was clearly more than just a stomach problem, the production team finally let him take time off to see a doctor.

But the moment Ji Qingchi saw the test results, he froze.

They said he was pregnant. Obviously... it was from that time he had slept with Shen Suye.

Ji Qingchi felt like the sky was falling. It was bad enough being on a dating show with his sworn enemy, but why did he keep getting morning sickness on camera? He hated this. He hated this baby, too!

Fell in Love Online with the Real Young Master!

Wei Qingyu recently started dating a filthy-rich second-generation heir online.

He grew up in a single-parent household and never experienced the warmth of having both parents around. He was starved for affection and short on money. By chance, he met a rich young man while playing a browser game. The guy was unbelievably wealthy, a year younger than Wei Qingyu, and had just started college.

Wei Qingyu had a great voice and excellent gaming skills, and got to know this “rich kid” who was dumb and generous while running dungeons together.

After they’d run dungeons together for a while, the rich kid confessed to him. Knowing the guy might be loaded, Wei Qingyu agreed without hesitation. So for the rest of his sophomore year, Wei Qingyu never had to worry about food or clothes. All kinds of designer clothes kept arriving as gifts, and his roommates thought he was being kept. Then, during winter break, Wei Qingyu went back to his hometown for the New Year. While he was gaming, his grandmother’s chickens and geese kept making strange noises. His wealthy boyfriend asked, in a strange tone, “What’s that noise where you are?”

Wei Qingyu: “...”

Wei Qingyu: “Oh, it’s just some kids outside watching cartoons. Nothing to worry about. Why don’t we stop voice chat for now? It’s a little noisy.”

But even after they stopped voice chatting, his boyfriend stayed generous, always wanting to send him gifts and even wanting to order him milk tea like usual.

Oh no... Wei Qingyu thought. I’d have to go all the way to the county seat to pick it up! He was close to tears, so he tried every way he could to stop him. After being turned down again and again, his dear boyfriend finally couldn’t take it anymore. “Can we only talk when you’re back at school? What am I supposed to do if I miss you... Where do you live? I want to come see you.”

Wei Qingyu: “...!!”

Oh no, oh no. Wei Qingyu realized he couldn’t keep this up, so he immediately sent a very seductive photo. “Baby, here’s a look at my legs. Just hang in there a little longer!”

He managed to fool him for the moment, but a week later, when he returned to school, his boyfriend said outright, “I can’t hold back anymore. Tell me where you are. Can we meet in person?”

No! Wei Qingyu had taken so many gifts from him, and he honestly didn’t know how to get out of this. He was miserable all day.

After a voice call with his boyfriend one time, he couldn’t help complaining to his roommate. “What do I do? This rich kid, who’s dumb and loaded, insists on meeting me in person. I only want to date his money, not him. Waaah!”

Before he could finish venting, his roommate reminded him, “You didn’t turn off your game mic. He hasn’t left yet...”

Wei Qingyu: “?”

Oh no. I’m dead.

A minute later, his boyfriend sent him a message: “Meet me in person, and I’ll give you 200,000 a month.”

He gave it a little thought and, shamelessly, gave in.

But when he met his boyfriend that night, he saw how incredibly handsome he was. Just as Wei Qingyu was congratulating himself on landing a rich and handsome guy, the other man gazed at him and said softly, “So you were playing with my feelings, huh? Fine. Let’s see if I can make you cry tonight.”

Wei Qingyu: So this is the price of loving money... but why does it feel so good?!
