[Review & Spoiler] Daily Life of a Scumbag Man Giving Birth (Female-dominant)

When Meng Huan first arrived in the female-dominant world, he felt confused and out of place. He was shocked to learn that men could get pregnant and give birth in this society. His initial interactions with Wen Zhaoyin were filled with wariness and resentment. He felt trapped and powerless in the Wen household, desperately wanting to escape.

As time went on, Meng Huan’s feelings began to shift. When Wen Zhaoyin showed him kindness or care, he felt conflicted – part of him was touched, while another part remained guarded. After becoming pregnant for the first time, Meng Huan experienced intense fear and anxiety. He clung to Wen Zhaoyin during the difficult pregnancy and birth, relying on her strength and support.

A pivotal moment came when Meng Huan overheard Wen Zhaoyin speaking to Pei Lan about her deceased husband. He felt a pang of jealousy and insecurity, realizing he may just be a replacement. This planted seeds of doubt in his heart that would continue to grow.

As Meng Huan settled into life in the Wen household, his feelings for Wen Zhaoyin deepened into a complex mix of dependence, attraction, and lingering resentment. When she was cold or distant, he felt hurt and angry. But her moments of tenderness left him craving more. After giving birth to their first child, Meng Huan was surprised by the surge of paternal love he felt. This new bond made him feel more connected to Wen Zhaoyin as well.

During his brief escape attempt, Meng Huan was shocked by how much he missed Wen Zhaoyin’s presence and protection. The outside world felt harsh and scary compared to the comfort of the Wen household. When she came to retrieve him, he felt an overwhelming sense of relief tinged with shame.

As Meng Huan became pregnant for the second time, his emotional attachment to Wen Zhaoyin grew stronger. He became more openly affectionate, seeking her attention and approval. When she was busy with work, he felt neglected and sulked until she returned. The pregnancy made him more emotionally volatile – one moment clinging to her desperately, the next lashing out in anger.

A major turning point came when Xie Yunjin revealed the truth about Meng Huan being a replacement for Wen Zhaoyin’s deceased husband. This reopened all of Meng Huan’s insecurities and fears. He felt devastated, wondering if any of Wen Zhaoyin’s feelings for him were real. In his hurt and anger, he lashed out by trying to cut down the ginkgo tree that reminded Wen Zhaoyin of her late husband.

In the aftermath, Meng Huan’s emotions were in turmoil. He desperately wanted reassurance of Wen Zhaoyin’s love, but was too afraid to ask directly. Instead, he became more clingy and demanding of her attention. When she was affectionate, he basked in it. But any hint of distance sent him spiraling into anxiety and self-doubt.

As his second pregnancy progressed, Meng Huan’s need for Wen Zhaoyin’s presence intensified. He begged her to stay close as the birth approached, terrified of going through it without her. During labor, he clung to the red silk connecting them like a lifeline.

In the years that followed, Meng Huan’s feelings settled into a deep, if somewhat insecure, love. He took pride in being Wen Zhaoyin’s husband and the father of her children. But a part of him always wondered if he truly held first place in her heart. He worked hard to be a good partner and father, hoping to solidify his place in her life.

When Meng Huan fell ill in his final days, his love for Wen Zhaoyin shone through clearly. He worried about leaving her alone and hoped she would remember him fondly. As he lay dying, he made one last attempt to hear her say “I love you,” revealing how much her love still meant to him even after all their years together.

In the modern-day epilogue, Meng Huan’s desperate search for Wen Zhaoyin showed how deeply she had impacted him. When they were finally reunited, years of pent-up longing and love poured out. He clung to her, crying with joy and relief at having found her again. Their passionate reunion demonstrated that his feelings had only grown stronger during their separation.

Throughout the story, Meng Huan’s emotional journey with Wen Zhaoyin was complex and tumultuous. From initial resentment, to growing attachment, to deep but insecure love, his feelings evolved dramatically. By the end, despite his lingering doubts, it was clear that Wen Zhaoyin had become the center of his world and the great love of his life.
