Description
Three years after entering the palace, Yongning Palace’s Beautiful Lady Yan Shu, has still never met the Emperor. The palace full of concubines tried to win his favour, only she, immersed in a melon eating system, has no time to spare for him. Everyday is filled with gossip, who would still remember who the Emperor was? How would she know that one day, she actually ate a shockingly big melon—— Yan Shu, “!!! No wonder he never enters the harem!” Wait… There seems to be something wrong somewhere… then what did she enter the palace for?!! The new Emperor, Yu Wen Lan, has two secrets. Since his ascension to the throne, he has gradually lost his male functions; yet at the same time, he can read minds. Getting used to seeing their false words and hypocritical faces every day, he grew all the more unfeeling. That was, until one day, he heard a special heart’s voice—— Yu Wen Lan paused, narrowing his eyes to look in the direction of a delicately pretty and pure looking girl. Yu Wen Lan, “???” Until she ascended to the position of Empress, Yan Shu also didn’t know how she had jumped unreasonably on the Emperor’s bottom line repeatedly, yet had jumped straight in, becoming the first person to be in his heart. Perhaps, it was just her good luck.

My Thoughts on My Beloved Concubine Only Wants to Eat Melons
"My Beloved Concubine Only Wants to Eat Melons" promised a lighthearted escape into a world of palace intrigue and, well, melons. As someone who enjoys a good comedic historical romance, I dove in with high hopes. Overall, I found it to be a mixed bag, offering moments of genuine amusement alongside some problematic elements that are hard to ignore.
First Impressions
Initially, I was charmed. The premise is undeniably quirky: a carefree protagonist armed with a gossip-generating system and a straight-laced emperor who can read her mind. The early chapters were filled with laugh-out-loud moments as the female lead, using her juicy "melons" (gossip), navigated the treacherous waters of the harem. I appreciated the slice-of-life feel, focusing on everyday interactions and comedic situations rather than overly dramatic power struggles.
What Works Well
The comedic undertones are definitely a strong point. The dynamic between the female lead and the emperor is entertaining. I found their relationship to be a refreshing departure from the typical overbearing male lead trope. The story is fast-paced and easy to follow, making it a good choice for a quick and undemanding read. The concept of using gossip for good, exposing corruption and bringing justice to wrongdoers, is also quite appealing.
Areas of Concern
Unfortunately, there are some significant issues that I couldn't overlook. Several readers have pointed out the novel's problematic representation of LGBTQ+ characters, and I have to agree. The negative portrayals and stereotypes are not only disappointing but also contribute to a harmful narrative. It's a glaring flaw that significantly detracts from the overall enjoyment of the story.
I also noticed that the plot can become repetitive after a while. The cycle of the female lead discovering gossip, the emperor investigating, and the villains being punished starts to feel formulaic, which can lead to boredom.

Final Verdict
"My Beloved Concubine Only Wants to Eat Melons" has its moments of lighthearted fun and offers a unique premise. However, the problematic LGBTQ+ representation and repetitive plot prevent me from giving it a wholehearted recommendation. If you're able to overlook these issues and are simply looking for a no-brainer comedic read, you might find it enjoyable. However, be aware of the potential triggers and problematic content before diving in.
