[Dual rebirth, childbearing story: smiling, scheming chancellor shou vs. carefree emperor gong. Wei Yan (gong) x Lu Jiming (shou)] [The next story will be My Brother, Your Child Is Mine. If you're interested, please consider adding it to your reading list.]
Lu Jiming passed the palace examination as third-ranked candidate at nineteen, became chancellor at thirty-one, and wielded power over the empire for more than a decade. At forty-five, he betrayed his country to save his only son and died after drinking a cup of poison personally bestowed by the emperor.
There were two people he had wronged most in his life.
One was the emperor, who had given him his complete trust, only to be betrayed. The other was their child.
--
Lu Jiming is reborn and returns to the days when he lectured at the Eastern Palace. This time, he decides not to let anyone down. He will keep his distance from Crown Prince Wei Yan and become an ordinary official. But he never expected the Wei Yan before him to be so different from the one in his memories.
Wei Yan (frail): "Teacher, I'm hurt. I'll only get better if you blow on it for me."
Lu Jiming (?): "Your Highness, please behave with decorum."
Wei Yan: "Teacher, Father is going to choose a crown princess for me. Should I ask him to choose you?"
Lu Jiming: "Your Highness, you mustn't."
A few days later, an imperial decree arrived: Lu Jiming was to be made the crown princess.
Lu Jiming: ?
Wei Yan (back to normal): "The Imperial Preceptor read our fortunes. Out of everyone in the capital, only you and I have compatible birth charts. If you don't want to, we can pretend to marry first, just to bring good luck to Father."
Lu Jiming believed the crown prince and somehow ended up married into the Eastern Palace.
--
Later, Lu Jiming went to court with a big belly.
Wei Yan: "Bring him a chair."
The court officials: ...
--
Later still, their first son was born.
Wei Yan: "Let's name him A Luan."
Lu Jiming: "I named A Luan in his previous life. How did you know he was called A Luan?"
Wei Yan: ... Awkward. His rebirth has been exposed.

This story is also known as The Emperor's Favor Is No Blessing.
Content warnings: Same universe as Wolfhound; dual rebirth; both are virgins after rebirth; younger gong; mostly sweet, with a bit of angst and melodrama (about as sweet and dramatic as Wolfhound). Their previous life had a tragic ending: the gong and shou separated for twenty years, the shou secretly allied with a neighboring kingdom, and the gong had him executed. The gong had a harem in his previous life, but after being reborn, the story is strictly one-on-one, with no harem. There are secondary couples, including couples with little page time. Since the main story spans a period when the secondary characters are too young, their romance isn't covered in the main text and will be in the extras. The secondary couples have sweet endings. The previous-life story appears in Wolfhound, available in my author profile. The shou was a genuine villain in his previous life and did many bad things. I won't excuse them; after rebirth, he becomes a good person. The author has few content limits and loves melodrama, so readers with strict preferences may want to steer clear.

Dear readers, my next story will be about a cuckoo bird. Its working title during serialization will be My Brother, Your Child Is Mine. It's an outrageously melodramatic childbearing story with a chaotic relationship dynamic. If you're interested, please consider adding it to your reading list. It really means a lot to me. Here's the blurb:
[Cool, stoic, oblivious shou x sunny, scheming, elite gong. An outrageously old-school, melodramatic childbearing story. If this isn't your thing, please leave. Neither is a virgin; an omega pretending to be a beta; brothers become lovers; rivals in love become lovers; gong and shou have the same pheromone scent.]
A cuckoo bird lays its eggs in the nests of other birds, leaving its Host to hatch and raise them.

Yu Yanzhou, Xi Yinghe, and Ji Yingze have been close friends since childhood. Yu Yanzhou has secretly loved Ji Yingze for years, but because he and Ji Yingze both presented as omegas, he has no chance with him. He can only watch as Ji Yingze marries Xi Yinghe.
Yu Yanzhou no longer hopes for love. He only wants to hide his omega identity for the rest of his life and pass as an ordinary beta.
Just as he thinks he can spend his life as this married couple's loyal friend, ready to face anything alongside them, an accident leaves him pregnant with Xi Yinghe's child. Meanwhile, Ji Yingze is also about to give birth to Xi Yinghe's baby.
Yu Yanzhou's body is too unusual for him to get an abortion, so he can only hide away and wait to give birth in secret.
But by a cruel twist of fate, Ji Yingze is kidnapped. Yu Yanzhou gives birth prematurely while saving him, and Ji Yingze dies unexpectedly, leaving no body behind.
Seeing Xi Yinghe break down and lose all will to live, and knowing that the man he has loved for years is dead without a body to bury, Yu Yanzhou is overwhelmed by guilt. He gives his newborn child to Xi Yinghe, claiming it was born just before Ji Yingze died.
Years later, Yu Yanzhou and Xi Yinghe marry for the sake of their families, and Yu Yanzhou becomes the child's stepfather. But Yu Yanzhou alone knows this isn't really a blended family...
--
Xi Yinghe believes he will never get over his late wife, so when his family insists that he remarry, he marries his good friend, who also loved his late wife.
After their wedding, he gradually realizes that Yu Yanzhou seems to be hiding many secrets. He may not even be a beta.
And what confuses him most is that his child with his late wife is starting to look more and more like Yu Yanzhou.
**Content warnings: This story is the author's self-indulgent project, written without restraint. Neither the gong nor the shou is a virgin. It's an old-school melodrama, and every character is unlucky. There are too many potential triggers to list. No moral guardians or readers with strict character preferences. Happy ending.

Mr. Lu, who had been the Queen + Prime Minister all his life, found out after his death that he still wanted to be the Crown Prince: [Afraid] [vomiting blood] [Lie down]
He endured the pain and faced the absence of his father for twenty years and never gave himself a good look. However, he shared a family with many concubines and his children as a loving father and a filial son. He also poisoned his biological father, Wei, who had been raising him alone for twenty years. In this way, Ah Luan did not kill his father. He was truly better than his predecessors both as a person and in his native family. It's just such a pitiful child. [Vomiting blood]
Zhifei was able to hold the baby for the first time Zhi Fei now knows what the newborn Ah Shuang looks like. Zhi Fei can confess his life experience to Yan Huai without any worries. From this moment on, Yan Ning sealed away the sufferings of the previous life and the first ten years of this life. Yan Ning finally had a truly happy ending with no regrets. Thank you Jiang Dongdong for giving "Wolf Dog" the most perfect ending
Not everything in the world is perfect, like parental love. I feel like it will be a story about keeping the clouds clear and seeing the moonlight. I chose the wrong person but I didn't make any mistakes until the end😭😭😭
Sanhuo, pack up and get ready to be the fox princess.
How could Wei Gou be jealous that Lu Xuping could participate in politics? Lu Xuping visited Hua Lang. Wei Gou was just a Jinshi. Maybe there was some partiality from the emperor and the power of the big family. Lu Xuping loves Wei Yan wholeheartedly and loves his children. He rebelled against Daqi in his last life to save his children. You, Wei Gou, are extremely selfish from beginning to end. You take advantage of Zhaozhao's love and the three fires. You go to the main text and talk nonsense about the emperor not being wholehearted and not fulfilling his promise. Are you worthy?
Doesn't our baby Ah Luan have any extra stories?
Wei Gou's mission of sowing the Three Fires has been completed. I propose that Hu Laosi be allowed to carry out the plan of cutting off Wei Dog's Jiji, cut it into slices, dry them, sprinkle some pepper and salt as pet snacks, whoever agrees and who objects [waves hands]
Sanhuo baby, I allow you to talk about your original family when you have a seizure [Hold your chin]
I can't survive. If I stay in Qingqiu for another month and a half, I will probably be dead for decades. Xu Ping and San Huo came to take a look, oh, there is a younger brother (not).
