Before the Beijing Elite’s ‘Buddhist Son’ Was Exposed, I Ran Away Pregnant

Yu Yue was forced into a transactional marriage with Fu Jingyan three years ago to save her grandmother's life and secure a kidney transplant from her father. Fu Jingyan, a wealthy heir who had been in a vegetative state, woke up immediately after the wedding ceremony, which was arranged based on fortune-telling compatibility. Despite the marriage saving his life, Fu Jingyan despised the arrangement, refused to live with Yu Yue, and left the country for three years. During this time, Yu Yue endured scorn from the Fu family, protected only by the elderly matriarch. After her grandmother passed away, Yu Yue suffered severe weight loss but suddenly gained weight again, leading to a medical diagnosis that she was pregnant. The father was not her estranged husband Fu Jingyan, but a mysterious man she met during a drunken encounter at a bar shortly after filing for divorce.

Upon learning of her pregnancy, Yu Yue decided to keep the child and find the mysterious man, who she remembered as handsome and responsible. Simultaneously, Fu Jingyan returned to the country and initiated divorce proceedings. Their interactions were tense; Fu Jingyan offered substantial financial compensation, including a villa, cars, and one hundred million yuan, to sever ties completely. Yu Yue accepted the terms but remained sharp and independent, refusing to let Fu Jingyan's family mistreat her. She successfully finalized the divorce, gaining her freedom and wealth. However, she began experiencing pregnancy symptoms, including nausea triggered by the smell of durian, which she hid from everyone, including her close friends and her senior brother, Li Kui, who managed her pharmacy business.

The narrative shifts when Yu Yue encounters Fu Jingyan again at a high-end seafood restaurant during a team-building event for her staff. There, she discovers Fu Jingyan is accompanied by a woman named Su Qingyue and a mute three-year-old girl named Tangtang, whom Fu Jingyan protects fiercely. Fu Ruoxi, a rival within the Fu family who coveted Fu Jingyan, had orchestrated a conflict where Tangtang pushed another child into a water tank. Yu Yue handled the situation diplomatically, demanding an apology rather than money, which confused Fu Jingyan. Later, Yu Yue learned through her work at Zhongsheng Hall Pharmacy that Tangtang required a rare cardiac surgery from a mysterious top surgeon known as Moon, whom Yu Yue assisted. She realized the little girl's surname was Fu, leading her to question if Fu Jingyan had fathered a child with another woman, though he clarified that he was in a coma when the child was born.

As the divorce cooling-off period progresses, Yu Yue continues to hide her pregnancy while navigating her growing financial independence and business responsibilities. She sells the marital home and cars provided by Fu Jingyan, further cementing her separation from him. Meanwhile, Fu Jingyan becomes increasingly intrigued by Yu Yue's competence and independence, contrasting with his previous assumptions about her. He also begins investigating the identity of the man Yu Yue was with the night she conceived, collecting profiles of eligible bachelors in the capital. The story sets the stage for Yu Yue to raise her child while uncovering deeper secrets about her past, her relationship with Fu Jingyan, and the true identity of the mysterious man she slept with, all while dealing with the lingering complications of the Fu family dynamics and her own health.
