Description
“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.

My Thoughts on How to Hide the Emperor’s Child
"How to Hide the Emperor's Child" is a web novel that definitely sparked a lot of feelings in me. Diving into this story, I found myself caught between appreciating the complex characters and questioning some of the plot developments. With a solid 3.8/5 rating, it's clear this story resonates with many, but it also has its share of detractors, and I can see why.
First Impressions
Initially, I was drawn in by the premise: a divorced empress hiding her child from the emperor. The tags like "aristocracy," "childcare," and "European ambience" painted a picture of a dramatic yet heartwarming story. And for a while, it delivered. The early chapters were engaging, and I was eager to see how Astelle, the female lead, would navigate her precarious situation.
What Works Well
What stood out to me was Astelle's character. She's portrayed as dignified, intelligent, and fiercely protective of her son, Theor. I appreciated that she wasn’t just seeking revenge but trying to create a peaceful life for her child. Theor himself is also a highlight; he's described as an endearing child who isn't annoying, a common pitfall in stories like this. The slow-burn romance, while divisive, also adds a unique element. The author really makes the male lead suffer and repent for his mistakes.
Areas of Concern
The biggest point of contention, for me, is the male lead, Kaizen. His initial actions – divorcing Astelle shortly after their wedding night – are hard to overlook. Some readers felt his subsequent remorse and attempts to win her back were insufficient, even manipulative. I can understand this perspective. While the story attempts to provide context for his behavior (a troubled childhood, political pressures), it doesn't entirely excuse his actions. Additionally, the plot has moments that feel forced, seemingly designed to move the story in a certain direction rather than organically developing.

Final Verdict
"How to Hide the Emperor's Child" is a flawed but compelling read. If you're looking for a perfect, unproblematic romance, this might not be for you. However, if you appreciate complex characters, a strong female lead, and are willing to grapple with morally grey areas, it could be worth your time. Just be prepared for a potentially frustrating journey with the male lead. I'd recommend going in with an open mind and a willingness to engage with the story's complexities.
