The Gloomy Outcast Became Pregnant with the Top-Tier Star's Child

Cheng Yu'an is a Beta with nothing but scandals in the entertainment industry, a nobody constantly reviled and cursed by netizens.

Pei Qingji is an Alpha and a top-tier star. His debut single became an instant worldwide hit, and he has countless fans.

But no one knows that Pei Qingji suffers from a severe pheromone disorder that could even put his life in danger.

As luck would have it, Cheng Yu'an’s pheromones can treat Pei Qingji’s strange illness. Pei Qingji’s mother promises Cheng Yu'an that if he marries Pei Qingji, she’ll pay him a substantial sum, and he can leave once Pei Qingji’s condition is stable.

Cheng Yu'an hesitates, then agrees. But Pei Qingji seems to hate him. He calls for Cheng Yu'an only when he needs him. The rest of the time, he seems disgusted even by the sight of him.

Later, Pei Qingji’s illness is almost cured, and there’s little time left on their contract. Cheng Yu'an is ready to leave, but discovers he’s pregnant.

By then, he has completely lost faith in Pei Qingji and is utterly disheartened. He goes to Pei Qingji, wanting to terminate the pregnancy, but sees the usually haughty man turn deathly pale.

He refuses.

Cheng Yu'an doesn’t understand. Haven’t the pheromones already cured him?

Later on.

When Cheng Yu'an gets morning sickness in the middle of the night, Pei Qingji panics and insists on taking him to the hospital. Wasn’t he supposed to not care whether Cheng Yu'an was sick? Wasn’t he supposed to call him oversensitive?

Unable to sleep in the middle of the night, Cheng Yu'an stands by the window, lost in thought, when someone suddenly pulls him into an embrace. Pei Qingji looks panicked, as though he’s about to cry.

Cheng Yu'an doesn’t understand why Pei Qingji has become like this, but he’s already tired.

He thinks for a moment, then looks up at the man and says very seriously, “You don’t actually have to be so good to me.”

Coming next: Why Aren’t You Wearing Any Clothes? Please add it to your collection ^O^

Xue Rong, a mute boy raised in the countryside, has recently become obsessed with livestreaming. He sees someone on screen wearing shabby clothes and feels sorry for them, so for the first time in his life, he buys them a gift.

The pampered young master of the Lu family, who has no idea how hard life can be, falls out with his family and decides to run away from home.

With no money for food and his stomach growling, Lu Chengxuan hears from his roommate that stripping on livestreams pays really well.

He nervously hides in the bathroom, strips naked to show off his abs, and even learns a few trendy dances.

There’s the sword dance, the card-dealing dance, and a few others.

But he dances for ages, and his stream has no viewers. Then suddenly, someone joins.

Why aren’t you wearing any clothes?

And that’s how he earns his first paycheck.

Lu Chengxuan has no idea how this sort of thing works. His roommate tells him that people who tip on these streams are after his body, leaving him so mortified he could die. He hurriedly ends the stream.

But the top supporter messages him every day, asking if he’s going to stream.

Lu Chengxuan has no choice. He’s afraid someone he knows will hear about the embarrassing time he stripped on stream, and he’ll never live it down.

So he livestreams every day, and that person always comes back to watch, tipping him from time to time.

Later, Lu Chengxuan decides that this person must have liked him for a long time.

He works up the courage to confess, only to be rejected.

Lu Chengxuan drops the flowers he’s holding and shouts angrily, “You don’t like me? Then why do you watch my livestreams?!”

Xue Rong looks utterly confused. He types carefully on the screen and holds it up for Lu Chengxuan to read: “Oh, I just thought your dancing was kind of funny, but I admire your courage to work hard.”

His wife is a little mute, and to support him, Lu Chengxuan has no choice but to agree to go home and inherit the family business.

Later, Lu Chengxuan becomes the CEO of a Silicon Valley company. In an interview, a reporter asks him about the first big paycheck he earned in his life.

Lu Chengxuan smiles proudly, puffs out his chest, and says, “The first big paycheck of my life came from my wife.”

“That must have had quite a few zeros.”

He shakes his head with a smile and holds up one finger.

“Ten million?”

Lu Chengxuan looks at the screen. “Ten yuan.”
