Pregnant With the Heir of a Marquis Who Can Have No Children, I Hide My Bump and Run

The Marquis of Dingyuan and his wife share a deep and passionate love, but after three years without a child, people can't help but lament their plight.

Before entering the residence, Ji Wu thought the same.

She never imagined that she, a lowly concubine-born daughter with only a surname and no given name, would be noticed by her legitimate elder sister and sent to the marquis's residence to keep her company.

But somehow, she ended up... in the marquis's bed.

From then on, by day, she was the cherished guest invited to keep the lady of the house company. By night, she had to please the marquis in her elder sister's place, in hopes of bearing him an heir as soon as possible...

At first, she did everything asked of her to repay her elder sister's kindness. But later, she discovered that it had all been a lie.

And she was the only pawn.

Xie Zheng was a brave young man who won his title of marquis in battle. He also married a beautiful wife, earning everyone's envy.

Then his wife's younger half-sister came to visit and climbed into his bed, making him wish he could cut her down with his sword.

But his wife begged him through her grief, and he reluctantly agreed, hoping to get her pregnant quickly and send her away.

Yet the half-sister was obedient and sweet, always lowering herself to please him. He began to think it might not be so bad to keep her around.

He gave her countless treasures, and seeing how compliant she was, he thought this little concubine-born girl would be devoted to him forever.

But when he returned after petitioning the emperor for permission to take her as a concubine, the gentle woman who had done up his hair and dressed him before he left was gone.
