Rumor Has It That I’m Pregnant with His Highness’ Child

In the realm of ancient times, Yu Niaoniao found herself transmigrated into the eldest daughter of an esteemed official’s family. Her father’s lack of affection for her mother? Inconsequential. As long as he provided for their basic needs, it sufficed. Her younger siblings not taking her seriously? No problem. A few well-deserved chastisements would set those unruly brats straight. The absence of delectable stir-fried dishes in this era? Fear not, for she was a skilled chef.

However, an astonishing rumor suddenly spread throughout the capital. It whispered of a secret liaison between the Yu family’s eldest daughter and Duke Lang, suggesting that she carried his child. Mere fabrications, all of it! Yet, before she could step forward to refute the claims, an imperial decree arrived, decreeing her marriage to none other than Duke Lang himself.

Yu Niaoniao felt as if a bolt of lightning had struck her, leaving her body numb. Who was Duke Lang? He resembled a living King of Hell, possessing immense power and a penchant for ruthless killings. Children ceased their cries in his presence, and officials paled at the mere mention of his name. Confronted with this formidable man slowly approaching her, Yu Niaoniao trembled in fear. “Sob, sob, sob… I swear, I’m not pregnant!” she pleaded. Only to hear Duke Lang’s response, “That’s not an issue. It’s never too late to conceive now.”

Yu Niaoniao was left utterly speechless, unable to find words to express her astonishment.
