1. Yu Miao was the youngest child of the most prominent clan in the cultivation world. A delicate beauty with a strange, fragrant aura, he was spoiled and capricious, and liked to treat his blind household servant like a dog.
Then, in a secret realm, someone drugged him, and he slept with his own servant.
When he woke, Yu Miao recovered a memory. It turned out that Ning Mang, the servant he had bullied all this time, was actually the fated hero of a book, a domineering protagonist who was undergoing a trial.
Ning Mang was vengeful, ruthless, and cruel.
And Yu Miao was a wicked cannon-fodder character whose entire family was about to be wiped out.
Horrified, Yu Miao fled in a panic, leaving behind half a jade pendant.
He never expected Ning Mang to find an opportunity in the secret realm and regain his sight. His family also found him. Though he returned to his clan, he still remembered that night in the secret realm, and the smooth, warm skin he had touched.
Holding half a jade pendant, he sent people to investigate its owner's identity, but they found nothing.
Instead, he learned that Yu Miao's family had fallen into ruin.
The two families were bitter enemies. Ning Mang frowned and gave a scornful laugh. “Serves him right.”
2. Before Yu Miao's entire family was wiped out, his older brother sent him to a sect and asked his own master to protect him.
Hoping to use the memories he had recovered to clear his brother's name, Yu Miao entered the sect to search for clues. Unfortunately, the food there was terrible, and his pampered stomach couldn't take it. He kept retching.
Even worse, Ning Mang, whom he had once bullied in every way, was studying at the same sect!
Ning Mang was becoming famous and was said to hate him. The junior disciple at Ning Mang's side also gave him a hard time, mocking Yu Miao as a pretty face with nothing inside.
Ning Mang glanced at Yu Miao, unconcerned.
3. One day, Yu Miao fainted, and the doctor diagnosed him as pregnant.
Yu Miao was stunned.
His master, standing beside him, looked even more stricken and suggested marrying Yu Miao to conceal the child's identity.
Yu Miao: “...” I guess there isn't any other way. Besides, Master is my older brother's good friend, which makes him my good friend too, right?
He sighed softly and put his arms around his master's neck. His pampered nature immediately showed, and he teared up pitifully in his master's arms.
His master's eyes darkened as he lifted Yu Miao into his arms.
Suddenly, half a jade pendant slipped out of Yu Miao's clothes and clinked to the floor.
Ning Mang lowered his eyes to look, and his expression changed dramatically.
It was half of a dragon-and-phoenix jade pendant, exactly like the one he kept close to his chest. That meant Yu Miao was carrying his child.
...And was even going to marry another man while carrying his child.
