A FINE KETTLE OF FISH When Prince Jing is sent to quell the disturbance at the western border, there’s no question that Li Yu will accompany him—as his boyfriend and as his pet fish! Li Yu’s mission is to help Prince Jing secure his position as heir to the throne. However, the new couple is in for a surprise when Li Yu makes a much bigger splash in the imperial line of succession: even male fish can lay eggs now!

And how will Li Yu and Prince Jing protect their new family from the treacherous machinations of the imperial court?

If he can accomplish this mission, Li Yu will regain his human form. Yet how can he succeed from inside a fish bowl?!
