So i did try to read this. Its very confusing. I gave up on mtl. Ill just wait for the translation. Spoiler: chapter 1 Seems like some ppl are disappearing. A carpenter was eating with his family than *puff* he vanished. Mc is a court official(i forgot his title) so he got some info. Mc is very beautiful, first born of the emperor, but not respected. There was a scandal with the empress. I think she had him kidnapped or something. It was never investigated because she commited suicide. Her family was busy defending against outside attack so the emperor left the issues alone. He later had a new empress. Tomorrow is the mc's wedding. His wife is a man and a first born as well. Its a mystery why they are gonna marry. The wife's dad was the one who pushed the idea. Mc wonders if the wifes dad is gonna use the wife to push an agenda. Mc will be ready. Mc doesnt seem like coward the summary says he is. The eunuchs who disrespect mc, mc doesn't seem to care. Its not even stated why mc agreed to the wedding.
Is this going to be a harem story? I know that the tags say “Imperial Harem” but that doesn’t necessarily mean that MC is going to have multiple lovers...I mean MC is an emperor after all I wouldn’t be surprised if he was forced to have multiple concubines
? Not sure what you’re going for but from the summary you can assume that nobody knows that he’s pregnant and even if they know it wouldn’t be that weird coz 1. concubines are mostly used as a medium to strengthen (or even weaken -> I read one one novel where this happened) a bond between countries/families/etc. anyway, so the fact that he’s pregnant wouldn’t hinder their usefulness in any way 2. MC might not have a say in this bc it’s usually the court who is pushing the emperors to have them 3. Even if he’s pregnant it doesn’t necessarily mean that he can’t have children with these concubines...like it’s not like he will be preggo all the time unless ML is making sure of it ಠ_ಠ Or 4. Since they know that he can give birth...what if he’s forced to have male concubines instead Tbh the most weird thing is probably that a man is able to give birth while an emperor having concubines isn’t that surprising
I was more responding about the question relating to if this story was going to be a harem story (like, about the fact that he was could get real close with his concubines) but I really don't know how to express myself sorry I should have put 'going to' instead of 'having' orz... I just don't think there'll be time for him to establish a whole harem/get close to his potential concubine(s) while trying to hide the fact that he's pregnant and with all the court struggles I'm also not denying the first two points since from the first chapter we can see that MC is suspicious about everyone, especially about his male wife who was sent by an opponent (MC obviously did not have a say in this). As for the third point, I hope that by the time he'll give birth, the ML and the MC will be in a relationship and those potential concubines will stay in the background
Nah no worries ^^ you don’t have to feel bad for anything or apologize.. it’s not like you offended me or smth But yeah you’re probably right about the harem thing

is this going to have your usual imperial drama, where they all fight for emperor favor???? i'm not into mpreg, especially the harem part make me more reluctant to read this orz
I've only read the translated chapters from the novel's beginning, so I can't say for sure, but the imperial harem tag makes me think that the mc should deal with the intrigue inside the current harem, since he wants to compete with his favored brother to become the next emperor, instead of his own. And the ml was already hinted to be quite the scheming black-belly, that usually turns posessive, so I doubt he would put up with a harem trying to sink their claws into his husband (or their machinations), unless he already had holes prepared for them. Those are just speculations though, so gonna camp until a kind soul takes pity on us and spoils ~
