Some explanation on the novel "The Male Wife"

The Male Wife

Well, this is some explanation about this novel.
Having thought that there might be those who wait for sweet baby-pampering moments of this novel and in order not to let them down after reading some more chapters, I’ve posted it, so it’s a bit long but read it, please. 
This is a MPREG (Male pregnancy) type novel. In this novel, there are some hints about the men who can get pregnant like a woman would and said they are known as one as soon as they were born but no specific explanation for how people distinguish them or what they are called. I assume that they are “Ger” (哥儿) and the time period the novel takes place is just when Ger have evolved and people started to notice it for the very first time. So, they don’t know much about them and what to call them, hence why there’s no specific explanation nor them being described as “Ger”.
(Of course, I’ve just read it through MTL and still need more clear reading.(^-^))
Most of you who normally read Chinese BL novels would know what exactly “Ger” are. But for those who still don’t know, “Ger” are the men who can get pregnant and give birth to a child like a woman. (Don’t ask me the specific question of “How?!” Please go ask the authors who originally created them!)
Their physical appearance is of a man yet more feminine and weak. In normal “Ger” novels, they are distinguished as having a cinnabar mole or mark on their visible body parts like forehead, neck, or wrist.
Well, back to the novel, I hope you can understand the situation of “Ger” in this novel, when they first just evolved and most people would regard them as monsters. So, this might have had some psychological effect on our MC and that effect has some influence on his character and made ‘who he is’. Please don’t blame him for how he treats others because that’s how he is. He doesn’t know love and how to care for his child (till some time later). 
For those who are waiting for a fluffy and sweet childcare novel, this is not one for you!
As mentioned above, he really doesn’t know much of how to care for his child and his character is a bit cold, and given the situation he is a man yet also a “Ger”, he would not act like a woman would care for her child. So, you won’t have much of baby-pampering sweet moments here. He acts a bit like ‘act like a father but care like a mother’. (Well, that’s my understanding of him.)
To be honest, this novel is a wife-raising novel rather than a child-raising fluffy and sweet one. Yep! You read it right! This is a ‘wife-raising’ novel! ♪(´ε )
You’ll know it later and please decide to read at your own risk. (^_-)
Still, this is another not so bad novel, (even if it might not be on the ‘great/good’ reading list) so I hope you can be with it till the end!
Thank you! 💕
