A review by ajx_charyl
After Being Forced to Marry the Evil Star General by 顾三跃, Gu Sanyue
4.0
I deeply loved this novel.
First of all, this could be considered a slice of life historical novel with an interesting plot and beautiful relationships between the main character and the ML+other supporting characters. I got attached to the main characters and their relationship so much so that I would like to hug them.
I can’t even describe how I got fond of these characters: they were so realistic and loveable. We manage to understand the motivation behind Zhao Yelan’s initial behaviour and his growth together with Yan Mingting. Furthermore, I felt like I was growing up beside the main characters. The development of their relationship felt so positively natural and spontaneous and there was so much mutual understanding and communication.
I also liked many side characters such as Xiao Gao and Kan Chuan, but also Zhong Yuehong and the two sweet girls Yin Pinglu and Zuo Ran.
The plot was well-written, the final acts quite interesting and I gradually wanted to know more.
Honorable mention to the extras: the first ones were really comforting, whereas the last ones more angsty but satisfying at the end; i didn’t imagine to say it but these ones were really a great way to end this novel, I was really moved.
The author’s style is really suggestive, especially in the emotional scenes and in the descriptions of emotions, state of mind and feelings+it’s really delicate and recognizable. I loved their way of describing the most important scenes and characters’ development as well.
To sum up, I really find this not-so-known novel too underestimated and I would be so glad to see people loving it as it deserves (i hope one day this novel will have more and more fans!). I suggest it to almost everyone, especially who loves historical, slice of life interesting (and I also dare say characters-driven story the most) novels but anyone should do it and get excited reading it!
