Shen Qingxu, the capital's most pampered and mischievous young master, is eight months pregnant with twins — and still climbing walls at midnight to steal melons from the neighboring prince's estate. His husband, Xiao Yichen, heir to the Zhenbei Marquisate, is a cold-faced general who has somehow become a full-time melon-buying, foot-massaging, midnight-snack-fetching servant to the most dramatic pregnant husband in the capital.
From midnight soup dumpling runs to a wardrobe meltdown over his old one-foot-eight-inch waist, Shen Qingxu's pregnancy is a whirlwind of chaos and sugar-sweet moments. When a midnight craving for spicy clams lands him in a bellyache-induced panic, the imperial physician reveals shocking news: twins, one boy and one girl. High risk. Strict bed rest required.
Shen Qingxu promises to behave. He does not.
The night before labor, he sits under a blooming osmanthus tree, reading a romance novel aloud to his unborn children. Mid-sentence, his water breaks. Xiao Yichen arrives with a bag of candied lotus root to find his husband smiling through the pain: "Your daughter couldn't wait to hear the next chapter."
The sweet daily life they've built together is about to face its greatest test — a long, dangerous delivery that will push their love to the limit.
