Let Me Go, I’m Not Pregnant

In the seventh year of Chengshun, the Emperor fell seriously ill and, on his deathbed, passed the throne to Crown Prince Luoshen. At the same time, he made a request: that the son of the General of the State, Gu Xingzhi, assist him in his rule. However, Gu Xingzhi disliked palace life and had left the palace at the age of eight, never returning since. Luoshen was not pleased with this request, but the Emperor’s decision was final, so he had no choice but to agree. On the eve of the enthronement ceremony, Luoshen received secret information that Gu Xingzhi had returned to the capital. He disguised himself and left the palace to meet him privately. However, instead of meeting Gu Xingzhi, he encountered a handsome and heroic swordsman who had been drugged and in distress. Luoshen, out of compassion, ended up spending a night with him. The next day, Luoshen returned to the palace in a disheveled state before Gu Xingzhi could awaken. Unfortunately, he had to deal with official matters in such a state. To make matters more complicated, Luoshen discovered that the swordsman he had encountered was none other than Gu Xingzhi himself. The court officials praised Gu Xingzhi, lauding his strength and romantic qualities, and their love story was well-known throughout the realm. But Luoshen thought to himself, “Forget it, he still scolded me for being useless today.” That night, Luoshen had a nightmare in which Gu Xingzhi found out the truth and reacted negatively to him. When he woke up, he felt unwell and nauseous. The imperial physician conducted a careful examination and then turned pale. Upon hearing the diagnosis, Luoshen didn’t have time to argue before experiencing another bout of nausea, confirming his pregnancy. Luoshen thought to himself, “Oh dear, this is a mess.”

## My Thoughts on Let Me Go, I’m Not Pregnant "Let Me Go, I’m Not Pregnant" is a completed yaoi novel set in ancient China that definitely took me for a ride. With a 3.5/5 rating, I went in expecting something decent, and I came out… well, still a little unsure of what I just read. ### First Impressions Honestly, my initial impression was confusion. The story throws you right into the deep end, and I spent the first few chapters trying to figure out who was who and what exactly was happening. It feels like the story assumes you already know the world and the characters, which can be jarring. ### What Works Well Despite the initial confusion, there's definitely something intriguing about the premise. The historical setting combined with the fantasy elements creates a unique backdrop for the romance. I appreciate that the love interest falls in love first, as it provides a different dynamic than what I usually read. Also, the novel is completed, so you can binge-read it without waiting for updates. ### Areas of Concern However, I did struggle with the story's execution. At times, I found myself lost in the plot, unsure of the motivations behind the character's actions. The writing style can be muddled, making it hard to fully immerse myself in the story. I think the story could be a bit more fleshed out, with more world building and character development. It wouldn't leave a lasting impact after finishing it. ### Final Verdict "Let Me Go, I’m Not Pregnant" is a mixed bag. While the premise and setting are interesting, the execution leaves something to be desired. If you're looking for a quick, easy read with a unique premise and don't mind a bit of confusion along the way, it might be worth checking out. However, if you prefer a tightly plotted, well-developed story, this might not be for you. I'd recommend going in with tempered expectations. It's not terrible, but it's not amazing either – somewhere in the middle.
