The next day after sleeping with the Taoist priest, Xu Yanqing patted his bu*t and ran away, figuring he was free to live his life without anyone bothering him. Things were going great, but there was one tricky problem: why was his belly getting bigger day by day…? * All the civil and military officials in the court knew their Majesty was a Taoist priest with a pure heart and few desires. But then, at some point, a delicate yet lazy young man appeared by His Majesty’s side. And then, without anyone realizing it, His Majesty started bringing a baby to court!

His Majesty was also troubled, and so was the little prince. “Father Emperor, when can Daddy play with me?” “He can play with you once he wakes up.” “But when will Daddy wake up?!” The little prince sighed and so did His Majesty. The father and son looked at the person soundly asleep on the bed, their eyes filled with resentment. Xu Yanqing: Waking up is impossible, and taking care of the child is also impossible, unless… everyone sleeps together!

## My Thoughts on After the Salted Fish Transmigrated Through the Book, He Became Pregnant With the Emperor’s Child ### First Impressions This novel, "After the Salted Fish Transmigrated Through the Book, He Became Pregnant With the Emperor’s Child," definitely grabbed my attention with its unique premise. A "salted fish" protagonist – someone who just wants to laze around – getting pregnant with the emperor's child? It sounded like a recipe for something either hilariously bad or delightfully fluffy. After diving in, I found it leaned more towards the latter, though not without a few caveats. ### What Works Well The biggest draw for me was the sheer sweetness of the relationship between the MC and the ML. The Emperor is incredibly doting and patient, a true green flag. It's a low-conflict, easy read perfect for when you need a break from angsty stories. I especially appreciated how the story focuses on the pregnancy itself, delving into the realistic aspects often glossed over in similar novels. We see the MC dealing with everything from stretch marks to swollen limbs, making the experience feel surprisingly grounded despite the fantastical setting. Also, the supporting cast is vibrant and well-developed. They add depth and humor to the story, making it more than just a romance. ### Areas of Concern While the relaxed pace is a strength, it can also be a weakness. If you're not invested in the day-to-day life of a pregnant salted fish, you might find the story a bit slow. I was also slightly bothered by the MC's initial detachment from the baby. While the novel does explore the reasons behind this – stemming from a difficult relationship with his own mother – it still left me feeling a bit uneasy. I was also not a fan of the last few chapters and the sudden introduction of a childhood sweetheart for the ML, it felt unnecessary and created unwanted drama. ### ⚠️ Spoiler Warning Some readers might be concerned about the baby being used as a plot device. While I agree that the baby's presence primarily serves to move the plot forward, I also think it's intentional. The novel explores the MC's complex feelings about parenthood, and his initial reluctance feels like a realistic portrayal of someone forced into an unexpected situation. ### Final Verdict Overall, "After the Salted Fish Transmigrated Through the Book, He Became Pregnant With the Emperor’s Child" is a sweet and fluffy read that's perfect for when you want something low-stakes and heartwarming. While it's not without its flaws, the doting ML, realistic portrayal of pregnancy, and vibrant supporting cast make it an enjoyable experience. Just be prepared for a slow pace and a protagonist who takes the "salted fish" label very seriously. I would recommend this if you enjoy childcare elements with a very childish MC.
