Qiao Yan is a beautiful little fox spirit who transmigrates into human society as an adorable human child.
When the adorable child grows up, he becomes a beautiful heartthrob with countless admirers. To fit in better with human society, Qiao Yan follows the crowd, starts dating, and gets a boyfriend.
His boyfriend is perfect in every way, except that he's far too jealous. Later, when Qiao Yan hears that his jealous boyfriend is going overseas to develop his career, he decisively breaks up with him, saying, “A long-distance relationship has no future.”
Three years later, his ex-boyfriend returns home in style as a rising star in the business world. At the same time, Qiao Yan is facing a huge crisis.
He's pregnant.
More specifically, a Good Pregnancy System that bound itself to the wrong Host has made him pregnant.
The child's father is automatically identified as the most recent person Qiao Yan slept with: his ex-boyfriend, whom he broke up with three years ago.
The good news: It's a phantom pregnancy. Once Qiao Yan completes the System's pregnancy procedure, the System will leave automatically and pay him a huge settlement.
The bad news: His ex-boyfriend has found out about the pregnancy.
From the seme's point of view.
Pei Zhaoyun had been secretly in love with Qiao Yan for years. He never dreamed that one day he would actually become Qiao Yan's boyfriend.
With so many potential rivals, Pei Zhaoyun was on guard every day, protecting his beloved as carefully as his own eyes, afraid some scoundrel might take advantage of an opening.
Until Qiao Yan asked to break up.
Pei Zhaoyun rushed to the building where Qiao Yan lived in the pouring rain that very night, hoping to win him back, but accidentally overheard Qiao Yan chatting with a friend.
“Yeah, Zhaoyun and I broke up.”
“Right, the long distance was just an excuse. The main reason is... he's too jealous and clings to me all the time. I'm exhausted.”
Pei Zhaoyun didn't go upstairs. He quietly went home.
He accepted his family's assignment to expand their business overseas.
Three years later, Pei Zhaoyun returned home in triumph. Everyone praised his successful career and steady manner, saying he had grown even more distinguished and refined, just as befitted an heir to a prestigious family.
When he met Qiao Yan again at a party, Pei Zhaoyun was composed and courteous, showing none of his former jealous ways.
When he saw Qiao Yan chatting and laughing with someone else,
Pei Zhaoyun smiled faintly. “Just a friend. Perfectly normal.”
When he saw Qiao Yan having dinner with someone else,
Pei Zhaoyun smiled faintly. “Just socializing. Perfectly normal.”
When he saw a pregnancy test report fall out of Qiao Yan's things,
Pei Zhaoyun smiled faintly. “Just a normal pregnancy. Perfe... Wait, pregnant?! Who's the father?!”
Later.
When a friend heard that Pei Zhaoyun had suffered another heartbreak, he invited him out that very night for a heart-to-heart.
Friend: I know you've worked so hard all these years because you wanted to get back together with Qiao Yan. But you know how things stand now. Take it from me, he already has a child. You should stop pining for him.
Pei Zhaoyun: Qiao Qiao says I'm the child's father.
Friend: ??You two have been apart for three years, haven't you?
Pei Zhaoyun: Yeah, but Qiao Qiao says I'm the child's father.
Friend: ...You know that can't possibly be your child.
Pei Zhaoyun expertly saved another “Pregnancy Care Guide” to his phone, set it down, and said with dignified composure, “Yeah, I know. But Qiao Qiao is willing to say I'm the child's father. If you round it off, that's as good as admitting I'm his husband.”
Friend: ...
Pei Zhaoyun: If you round it off, he's asking me to get back together. I've decided to think about it... No, I'll say yes right now. What if Qiao Qiao changes his mind?
Friend: ...
Just throw yourself at him already! There's no saving a love-struck idiot!
