The Deposed Crown Prince Is Pregnant With The Enemy Prince’s Child

In his past life, Lu Ronghuai was a ruthless war god, feared and despised by all. His bloodstained reputation and the ominous rumor that he brought misfortune to his spouses made him a man people dreaded even in whispers. The court and commoners alike wished to stay far away from him. Later, he was framed and exiled to the northern frontier. The only person who did not abandon him and stayed by his side was the sickly male wife he had never once looked at properly. The two supported each other, and feelings quietly grew between them. When he fought his way back to the capital and ascended the throne, trampling all those who had humiliated and wronged him under his feet, he personally prepared the most grand and honorable empress ceremony to welcome back the person he thought of day and night. Yet, he only brought back a cold corpse. That night, the new emperor held his beloved in his arms, his hair turning white overnight. Reborn once more, he is determined to love him well and make up for his regrets. Chu Yuan thought he would die in that broken temple, living out the rest of his days in misery. But unexpectedly, a decree from the emperor ordered him to travel far and marry Lu Ronghuai, the Third Prince, whose reputation was in ruins. No one believed in this marriage. Behind his back, they mocked and sneered, discussing it in whispers. Facing all this, his lifeless eyes did not ripple in the slightest. Just a lowly life. He had long stopped caring. Thus, he wore his wedding robes and, amidst a sea of sighs and pitying looks, married into Li Wang Manor. At first, their relationship was cold and distant, neither interfering with the other. But slowly, he began to notice something strange. That man’s gaze on him—wrong. That man’s actions—becoming more and more unreadable. Until one day, he looked at his own rounded belly, flushed red with shame and anger, and kicked the man off the bed. “Your Highness, sleep in the study tonight!” After speaking, he ignored the aggrieved gaze of the prince and slammed the door shut. MC: Chu Yuan; A sickly and delicate yet resolute beauty ML: Lu Ronghuai; A possessive, black-bellied and cunning prince Chu Yuan touched his sleeping child’s face, smiling as he asked the man beside him, “Your Highness, what shall we name the baby?” Lu Ronghuai held his beloved’s hand tightly, taking the chance to caress it, face completely serious. “I’ve thought of a name.” Chu Yuan was curious. “What is it?” “Lu Duoyu.” (Lu ‘Unnecessary’).” Chu Yuan: “…” Raising a hand, he pinched the prince’s face. With a dangerous squint, he said, “Your Highness, say that again?” “You misheard. What I said was—I love you.” Author’s Note: Lu Ronghuai will slowly regain memories of his past life, which explains his less-than-kind behavior in the early chapters. But don’t mistake this as their first life together—it isn’t! This is their second time. While the beginning may have some turbulence, the novel stays true to its “fluff” concept, so don’t worry about endless angst. Stick around—it only gets better!
