My Ex Is Pregnant with My Baby [Nonhuman]

[Heroine: The Troublemaker in My House Is Acting Strange]

Ruan Huazhen thinks the world has gone crazy.

Two months ago, her scumbag ex Lu Heng used the silent treatment to force her to break up with him. Now he suddenly appears at her door, pale and weak, clutching his flat stomach and looking aggrieved. “Huazhen, I... I'm carrying your child.”

Ruan Huazhen laughs so hard she nearly throws up. “Lu Heng, breaking up is one thing, but you can't go around imagining things. We barely even held hands. And even if something had happened, I would be the one carrying the baby. What kind of male-pregnancy drama are you putting on?”

But then he produces a stack of pregnancy test results and ultrasound scans... clearly showing a living little being inside his uterus (?).

Ruan Huazhen suddenly remembers that she inexplicably passed out for a day before their breakup, and that Lu Heng became unusually cold toward her after she woke up... Could something have happened that day?!

Under the humanitarian pressure of being “the baby's mother” (and mostly because she's afraid he'll kill himself), Ruan Huazhen starts living with this delicate, helpless “pregnant man.”

From then on, life is a complete mess: when he has morning sickness, she fetches a basin; when he goes to the doctor, she waits in line; when he feels down, she has to... comfort him!

The entire internet is trying to find out which woman got pregnant before marriage by the heir to the Lu family's top-tier fortune. No one knows the truth: the baby's “mother” is up all night drawing and grumbling as she makes chicken soup for the baby's “father.”

Until one day, she accidentally discovers that

Lu Heng practices his “devoted lover” lines in front of a mirror;

His “prenatal anxiety tears” turn into pearls when they hit the ground;

And the mysterious person following him doesn't look human...

Ruan Huazhen grips her spatula and falls into deep thought:

So what kind of... supernatural creature is this person carrying my (?) baby?

And what exactly am I, if I can get “him” pregnant?!

A plea for help from someone who isn't blinded by love then appears on a forum:

"My ex showed up carrying a baby and wants me to take responsibility"

"The father of the baby might be nonhuman and wants to trick me into marriage. What should I do?"

"I don't know if the pregnancy is real, but the con is. Still, he looks so good when he cries!"

*Um... ahem... are pregnant men all this horny? Ahem... He wants kisses and cuddles and to be picked up the moment I touch him?!*

[Male Lead: He Played the Part Until It Came True]

Zuos is a general from Planet X, trapped on Earth by a power struggle.

Humans call Him an evil god and have given Him many names. He used to like “Wuzhiqi” best. Now His favorite is “Lu Heng.”

Because Ruan Huazhen, who can help Him leave Earth, likes this “Lu Heng,” He starts faking a baby bump, forging medical reports, and playing the role of a fragile pregnant man.

But she smells so good, not her actual scent, but the sweet aroma of the bloodline wafting from deep in her soul, which makes His core tremble.

When she bends over to draw, the wisps of hair at the nape of her neck are so soft He wants to bite them.

When she complains that He's “such a drama queen,” her lips move so enticingly He wants to kiss her.

The curve of her calves beneath her nightgown makes Him want to wind His tentacles around them.

When she's happy, her lips curl up ever so slightly, and He wants to grind His fangs against them and devour them.

Every night He has to cool Himself with ice to keep from barging into her room and pulling her into His arms to savor every inch of her.

But she wants to run away.

That day, He heard her speaking on the phone in a low voice. “...Find a way to leave him.”

At that moment, His heart clenched.

In a dark alley, He tears apart three evil creatures that have tracked Him down, blood staining His fingertips.

But when He turns around, He hears her voice. “Lu Heng?”

He instantly retracts His claws, wipes away the blood, and stumbles into her arms.

“Huazhen...” He raises His pale face, looking frightened. “A stray cat tried to hurt me and the baby... I'm so scared...”

She stiffly lets Him lean against her.

Taking the opportunity, He buries His face in the hollow of her neck, greedily breathing in her scent, His lips brushing ever so lightly against her collarbone.

“Won't you kiss me?” He whispers tremulously, gently tugging at the hem of her clothes. “I protected the baby... How about a reward for the expectant father, hmm?”

Her fingertips tremble, but in the end, she doesn't push Him away.

In the darkness, He silently curls His lips into a smile.

That's right. Just like that.

Soften your heart. Give in to me.

Once you get used to having Me around, once you willingly offer up everything

Including yourself.

* The male lead isn't human. He's a fake pregnant man and a real obsessive creep. His ex will chase after him and regret it.

* A nonhuman, scheming, clingy man vs. a beautiful woman who's delicate in body and soft-hearted.

* The nonhuman male lead doesn't have much of a conscience. If He wants something, He gets it.
