Description
The Emperor told her not to expect love, but the Empress loved him enough to push away her father, who planned a rebellion to protect him. The Emperor promised to protect the Empress, but unable to bear a child and being the daughter of a rebel, the Empress eventually requested to abdicate herself. “I loved you, Your Majesty” Speaking of love for the first and last time, the Empress departed from the Emperor’s side, unaware of what the last night with him left her. * * * “If you had run away from me, you should have lived well, not in this state.” Leonard had an expression she had never seen before. Tenere stared blankly, not even thinking to tidy her disheveled hair. “Why…” Her voice faltered and didn’t continue till the end. A cold gaze swept over her and the child. Unable to withstand that gaze for long, Tenere lowered her head. As the sight of blood dripping from the tip of the sword caught her eye, her arms holding the child involuntarily tensed. “The Empress’s position has been vacant for too long.” A large hand enveloped Tenere’s cheek. It felt like a thumping heartbeat in the place where the warm heat touched. “To me, you are my only Empress.”

My Thoughts on Whose Child Belongs to the Emperor
"Whose Child Belongs to the Emperor" definitely piqued my interest with its classic "hiding pregnancy" trope and European-esque royal setting. I went in hoping for a fluffy, engaging read, and while it had its charm, it also left me with mixed feelings.
First Impressions
The initial chapters were promising. The premise itself is quite intriguing: a shy, unassuming woman finding herself in a situation with the Emperor's child. The initial setup grabbed my attention, and I was eager to see how the story would unfold.
What Works Well
What I enjoyed most was the protagonist's character development. Watching her evolve from a timid woman to someone who understands what she wants and gains confidence was genuinely satisfying. The male lead, while not perfect, avoids the "trash ML" label, which is always a plus in these kinds of stories. I appreciated that the author attempted to create a complex dynamic between the leads, even if it wasn't always executed perfectly.
Areas of Concern
However, the story did feel a bit rushed at times. The plot points, especially the political schemes, felt glossed over rather than deeply explored. I found myself wanting more depth and detail in certain areas. I also found the author's narrative style a bit too straightforward, almost like a summary at times, which detracted from the immersive experience I was hoping for. The pacing could have been improved.

Final Verdict
Overall, "Whose Child Belongs to the Emperor" is an enjoyable read if you're looking for a relatively light and engaging story with a classic trope. While it has its flaws in terms of pacing and depth, the character development and avoidance of overly toxic tropes make it a worthwhile experience. I'd recommend it with the caveat that it might leave you wanting more in terms of world-building and plot complexity. It's a solid 3 out of 5 stars for me.
