How to Hide the Emperor’s Child
황제의 아이를 숨기는 방법
Read manhwa How to Hide the Emperor's Child / "You never loved me anyway, right?"Astelle's long-awaited marriage life ended in a day.She worked hard to become Kaizen's wife since she was ten, but the only thing that was left for her was the stigma of an empress.She was abandoned by the royalty; the man she loved, Kaizen, wanted her to leave."Yes. You're right. I didn't love you."Astelle lied for the last time. The man was the reason for her life, but it was also for the sake of the man who was her husband for a day.She thought there would be no contact with him again, but-"I think I might be pregnant?"***Six years later, Astelle, who reunited with Kaizen, lied again."You who is that child?""He's my nephew."To protect the child.
The story is good, entertaining and Astelle (the FL) is smart and isn't a pushover. I like her character growth and the story does show a lot of promise. The art is amazing and consistent too.
My main gripe however is Kaizen (The ML). He's more of a villain than a ML. I utterly despise him.
To start: he betrayed Astelle just hours after their first night of marriage (And them doing the deed), essentially breaking both her heart and trust. Convicted her and divorced her even though she did nothing wrong.
Then poor Astelle had nowhere to go and chose to live in solitude with her grandfather because her own father disowned her after Kaizen divorced her. She also finds out she's pregnant with her and her ex-husband's child.
Then 6 or 7 years later, she's living a content life as a villager but suddenly she's being hunted by knights sent by Kaizen because of some documents. He takes her and her son (Whom she disguises as her nephew) against their will.
He keeps them at the palace, again against Astelle's will who just wants to go back to the life she's built over the past 7 years with her son.
Kaizen also constantly ignores Astelle's authority over the child as he tells the boy grandiose stories and promises to take the boy outside against his mother's wishes. Even takes the child out to hunt bears without consulting Astelle causing FL to panic.
Anyway, he does have some redeeming qualities but they're outshined by his shi*** behaviour. I just wish anyone else was the ML over him.
Anyway, awful ML aside, the side characters are wonderful. I love the support the FL gets from her grandfather and her maid and the relationship between her and her son is very wholesome. And It's funny seeing how she handles things thrown at her from both her toxic ex-husband and her father. A very smart and capable FL all in all.
Overall: Story is about 3 stars because it's really dragged down by the ML. Read it for wholesome mother-and-son interactions, and for how smart Astelle is.
G**, I hate children. It's my personal conviction that Nature made them as insufferable as they are just to encourage humanity to extinguish itself. Do you want to continue to infest the planet with the spawn of your leaky appendages? Sure, but the price is tying your göddamn life to a screaming, ever-sh****** gremlin. Not so fun now, innit? Serves us right.
