Synopsis

Meng Zhou's modest ambition was to rise to the highest office and have his name recorded in history.

Just as he was working diligently his way up, his belly began to swell.

A wise man knows when to yield. Meng Zhou made a snap decision and ran away while pregnant. Halfway through, he had to honor a favor owed to someone and return under a secret identity.

There was just one problem with this identity: everyone in the capital knew he was impotent!

Meng Zhou: …Life really isn't easy.

Not long after Chu Huaiyin ascended the throne,

an official returned to the capital from a thousand miles away and exposed a rebellion that had been plotted for years.

He rose rapidly through the ranks and was appointed chancellor.

The only problem was that he looked about seventy percent like Meng Zhou.

Chu Huaiyin: “My dear minister, have we met before?”

Meng Zhou clutched his belly and took two steps back. “I'm impotent. I haven't done anything. Don't make things up!”

*Pregnancy. The protagonist can bend without breaking: he can run away while pregnant, then come back without batting an eye.

One-on-one. Happy ending. =3=

The Emperor Is Carrying the Regent's Baby

He transmigrates into the body of a puppet emperor who spends his days at the opera house. The regent is domineering and cunning, closing in step by step.

On the first day he shirks his duties and sneaks out of the palace, he finds a very handsome fool.

The fool has been poisoned with an aphrodisiac, and the protagonist's heart softens, so he gets caught helping him deal with it.

Later, he discovers that the fool is the regent himself. When he learns the truth, tears spill down his face.

They say the regent searched high and low for someone, and once he found him, he'd spoil him rotten.

The protagonist: Give me a break. He threatened to make me abdicate today.

At first:

Protagonist: I have to keep it secret. Being a puppet emperor is already a disgrace to my ancestors. Becoming the regent's male concubine would be even worse.

Later, he discovers he can get pregnant.

Protagonist: I have to keep it secret. The regent is a scheming wolf. Once the crown prince is born, I'll be dead.

Later still, his belly grows.

Protagonist: I have to keep it secret… Sob, I can't hide it anymore.

He searches for him through the crowd, a thousand times over.

An unflappable, doting top and a thickheaded emperor bottom who can't tell he's being loved.

Theme: Equality is the foundation of love.

A Mixed Bag of Bottom-Led Romance

My tastes vary from time to time, but I’m a staunch fan of happy endings for the bottom and stories where the top dotes on the bottom. I mostly read on my own, and I’m pretty easygoing unless the author drops a really huge bombshell. I only recommend stories I like.

Highly Recommended BL Mpreg Stories

Everything I recommend here has little to no child-rearing: the kids only appear in extras, or the characters get pregnant but never give birth. They’re all absolutely fantastic, though (rolling around) (crawling).

Four stars: There’s something that falls a little short, or the characters are well-written but the conflict isn’t quite intense enough. Five stars: If this is your thing, you’ll basically be powerless to resist, or it’s just incredibly gripping.
