[Ancient ABO setting: A = Qianyuan, B = Zhongyong, O = Kunze, pheromones = Xinyuan]
Everyone says that Xiao Qianche, the second young master of the Xiao family, and Crown Prince Xie Junyi are a match made in heaven.
Xiao Qianche was born with a Xinyuan scent and is an exceptional Kunze, while Xie Junyi was confirmed by the imperial physician to be a Qianyuan. There's no mistake about it.
The two grew up together, childhood friends who were as close as brothers. Xiao Qianche became Xie Junyi's study companion, and they gradually fell for each other.
But fate had other plans. Xiao Qianche unexpectedly differentiated as a Qianyuan. He planned to cut off their relationship there and then, since the royal family would never allow two Qianyuan to be together.
But Xie Junyi refused to give up. He used his military achievements to obtain an imperial decree granting their marriage.
Xiao Qianche had no choice but to "marry" him.
On their wedding night, Xie Junyi differentiated, turning into a... Kunze.
The emperor personally appoints the crown prince, who must be a Qianyuan skilled in both literature and martial arts. Since ancient times, there has never been a Kunze entrusted with such an important position.
They had to keep it a secret.
Later, Xie Junyi would be sore all over and still have to attend court to hear state affairs.
Xiao Qianche would smile beside him and say:
"You've worked hard, my husband. I'll be gentler next time."
Later still, the crown prince's belly gradually grew bigger.
The court officials whispered among themselves.
Xie Junyi flew into a rage.
"What are you looking at? Never seen me carry a child for the Crown Princess before?"
One day, Xiao Qianche went at him like a rabid dog, completely without restraint.
Xie Junyi was miserable.
"Qianche, we can't do this anymore. I have morning court tomorrow."
Xiao Qianche lowered his head and pulled him into his arms.
"Who was it that said, while going to fetch the medicine, that the Crown Princess was frail and needed to be nourished?"
Xie Junyi's eyes filled with tears.
"It was me. I said I needed to be nourished."
The next day, the crown prince took leave, saying the Crown Princess was ill and he couldn't bear to leave him.
As for what kind of illness, everyone knew.
Later, rumors spread around town about how formidable the crown prince was.
[Reading guide]
1. Some original settings apply. For example, Xiao Qianche's Xinyuan level is relatively high, so he differentiates late. He also has dual Xinyuan, which is why everyone gets the wrong idea.
2. This is a very, very sweet little story, so a lot of the logic won't stand up to scrutiny.
3. Hope you enjoy it!
