First and foremost, it's important to read the tags as this novel features trigger elements such as mpreg & childbirth which may not be for everyone... Given that it's quite difficult to grasp what the story is all about through the vague summary up top, I wrote this review to account on the world building and the characters of this story to those who need a otherview before proceeding to decide whether this novel is for them——

This novel is a sequel of the author's previous work《皇恩浩荡》which featured our MC Zhu... more>> Yunxuan's blood-related elder brother, Zhu Yunjing the abolished crown prince and how he faked his death with the help of He Huailing (ML from the other novel) to escape the palace before living his life with his children away from the turbulent of the court... I won't get into the storyline too much but that's basically the gist of it and the reason why I mentioned the prequel was because it serves as the foundation for this novel.

The MC is the fifth prince born from the first wife of the previous emperor, and as our ML Liang Zhen mentioned in chapter one, the other princes were unsuitable for the throne due to various factors such as treason, and disabilities etc. which led to the MC being the most suitable candidate aside from the ninth prince who was too young to understand politics at time. (The story itself took place in ancient China so expect some court conflicts along the way)

That being said, there's actually a twist to it...

Spoiler

And the twist was that the emperor actually intended to allow Liang Zhen to gain authority over the nation by giving him a secret imperial decree (which would be used as a catalyst to threaten the MC later on) because the former falsely came to a conclusion that Liang Zhen was his long lost son whom he had given birth to (like literally) with his male lover because of facial resemblances... That resulted in the emperor making the worst decision of his life because Liang Zhen's belly is apparently full of black water and decides to avenge his father for all the ab*se he had suffered under the previous emperor's hands.

P.S: The ML & MC aren't blood related! The ML & MC aren't blood related! The ML & MC aren't blood related! (Important things needs to be said thrice)

[collapse]

Moving on to the day of the ascending ceremony, through the ML's underhanded tricks, he single-handedly disposed of the previous emperor's loyalists and got MC the throne as expected.

(In case you may be wondering why the ML is helping the MC, it is because the one who took the initiative to seek help from the other party was the MC himself and they had made an exchange earlier on. The reason why the MC is so desperate for the throne was because he wanted to protect his elder brother)

It's also worth mentioning that our two main leads do feel attraction for each other but they either concealed it to keep their pride (Zhu Yunxuan) or don't know how to express it properly (Liang Zhen).

*・゜゚・*:。.:*・・*.:*・゜゚・**・゜゚・*:。.:*・・*.:*・゜゚・*

There's a certain point in the storyline where the tension/conflict between the MC and ML reached a climax and the ML forced the MC to drink a bowl of fertility drug [生子药] which made the latter become pregnant... Their relationship has reached the point of no return at that time and the MC's health deteriorates during pregnancy.

As the child grew in the belly day by day, the struggle between the two also escalated, which eventually led to...

Spoiler

The birth of the child and the ML getting thrown into prison with the help of MC's elder brother. However, the MC decides to release the ML in the end and lied to the latter that the child did not make it... (but he had in fact successfully given birth to the child and entrust it to his elder brother while he himself remained in the capital)

[collapse]

Fast forward three years later, the two reunited once more during a festival. But this time, the ML grew to learn how to express his love through proper means and respect the other party. They left their grudges in the past and rekindle their relationship step by step by using the child as a catalyst 💞

*・゜゚・*:。.:*・・*.:*・゜゚・**・゜゚・*:。.:*・・*.:*・゜゚・*

I left out a lot of details in the end because I don't want to give away too many spoilers, but the story itself is a HE in case anyone's wondering~

The VAs also did an amazing job at the audio drama so I'd definitely suggest you to check it out if you aren't very fond of the idea of reading through the story yourself =3= <<less

I love the crown prince so much, he's a fluffy ball kid ≧▽≦

Im a sucker for enemies to lovers trope in this one is really good 👍

I also like the MC, eventho he submits to ML sometimes it was on purpose and he still can stand on his own without ML helping him

Spoiler

I think my standards for what constitutes ab*se are maybe too high for me to enjoy this novel fully, because the dogblood really was unconvincing for me. While I did think the emotions were well written, the reasoning behind the MC rejecting the gong so much just wasn't enough for me. Perhaps I'm just being too big an apologist for the gong here, but really I don't see the problem with their deal, giving the shou the crown in exchange for his body... I suppose it may have felt more coercive if I didn't love the gong so much to begin with, but if shou also loved him back from the start then what exactly made him so mad about the situation. The gong literally gives up the crown for shou and is constantly giving his full support- while he says he doesn't trust shou, the man literally is on shou's side 100% and basically dedicates his entire life to stabilizing the empire just for shou. Even with the pregnancy plot, gong straight up informs shou ahead of time that he's giving him the fertility drug, it's not like he did it secretly and just puppeteered the shou around. I just don't understand the plot of this novel unfortunately, and it didn't really trigger many emotions for me as I didn't feel the dogblood was situationally appropriate. In the end I just felt bad for the gong the whole time, he really deserved better... The r*pe is barely r*pe as it's an agreement, the baby is informed consent, and the tattoo was hot. Well, I'm just an apologist for this gong what can I say. It was just tiring for me to see the shou constantly dead faced and crying, when he had gong basically on his knees begging for affection.

[collapse]

TLDR I love the gong, the shou has not much of a personality, and it's exhausting following their journey. The one thing I did feel gratified about was that this is not a crematorium as really gong did not do much wrong in my opinion to warrant a full wife chasing. Oh also just informational but gong is one year older than shou, and this novel is definitely pseudo-in*est leaning!

Not recommended. Don't be fooled by the positive reviews. I've read novels with worse tags, but most of the time, the characters had some kind of redemption or growth, which does not happen here.

Note: I read 70% of the story, and the characters continue to behave the same way.

This story has many poorly developed and terrible points. It is extremely boring to follow the protagonist, who is completely lacking in personality. He takes no action and lets the love interest do whatever he wants with him. At first, I understood... more>> because he was being threatened, but after a while, it became indefensible.

**Spoiler**:

Spoiler

The love interest sexually ab*ses the protagonist, forces him to have a child, and even gets a tattoo on him by force. It's clear that he hates the other person for everything he's been through. However, later in the story, he ambushes and captures the love interest, but surprisingly, he doesn't kill him. He just lets him go without any reason, despite having felt pure hatred up to that point. So, it doesn't make sense for him to suddenly soften his heart and let him go.

[collapse]

Furthermore, three years pass, and what we see is the protagonist missing his ab*ser. This longing makes no sense. As for the love interest, I've read many novels, but this one has the worst character of this type I've ever seen. He is a horrible individual and made me feel very uncomfortable, as he caused so much harm to the other person without feeling any guilt or remorse.

I kept reading because I thought it would be a "s*um gong chasing the crematorium" story, given everything the protagonist went through. I wanted the love interest to grovel for the protagonist's forgiveness. But that didn't happen. The love interest didn't even suffer. So, if you like stories where the ab*ser is humiliated in their pursuit of the protagonist's forgiveness, this one isn't for you.

Three years pass, and he continues with the same behavior, now threatening the protagonist with their own child, just to get another chance. The way he manipulates with that little smile is awful. As for the romance, there is no chemistry between them, nor any reason for them to like each other. <<less

the first few chapters of this novel were def a little confusing. It throws you right into decades of court intrigue, but im not sure if the author remembered all the details; they mention hes an illegitimate child who is the son of the emperors first wife, but then they mention in the next chapter that he is blood related to the emperor, as his fifth child. I also found ml's life history story kind of confusing. After that though, it becomes more comprehensive. Otherwise im enjoying it and am... more>> looking forward to where it goes next <<less
