His Lover Is Pregnant? I Tear Through the Whole Household and Marry the Chaste Grand Secretary

Jiang Zhaotang’s greatest passion in life is drawing fan art for The Tale of Green Mountains, a hit novel beloved throughout the capital. But fate is cruel: the author, Jian Qingshan, suddenly stops updating one day, leaving the character she loves most, Young General Wei, alive or dead beneath a cliff.

Jiang Zhaotang is crushed. After asking around for half a month, she learns that Xiao Shizi, a famous figure in the capital, has some sort of mysterious connection with Jian Qingshan.

Xiao Yanli is as beautiful as an immortal, but his sharp tongue makes the noble ladies of the capital avoid him. In Jiang Zhaotang’s words, he could poison himself just by licking his own lips.

For the sake of the Young General Wei she can’t stop thinking about, Jiang Zhaotang decides to walk right into the tiger’s den.

Xiao Yanli has recently noticed a furtive figure always lurking around him, peeking out and acting suspiciously. Perhaps she has her eye on his good looks.

Day one of being followed by an unidentified person: She’s really noisy.

Day ten of being followed by Jiang Zhaotang: She’s even noisier when she cries. Whatever, I’ll comfort her.

Day thirty of being followed by Tangtang: I kissed Tangtang and got slapped.

Day sixty of being followed by my wife: Damn it, she kicked me out of the room because I didn’t turn in my writing.

When Xiao Yanli learns that Jiang Zhaotang has been dumped by her ugly, blind, and heartless fiancé, he takes their marriage contract and climbs over the wall to see her. He wants her to slap the contract right in the man’s face.

But after climbing over the wall, he finds the young woman gazing up at him with her bright, watery eyes. “I hear you and Jian Qingshan are close friends, Lord Xiao. Could I trouble you to pass a message to Jian Qingshan and ask when my Young General Wei will appear again?”

Xiao Yanli expressionlessly tears the marriage contract in his arms to shreds. Hmph. He’ll go back and make sure Young General Wei dies beyond any hope of revival.
