After the Disabled God of War Became My Concubine

According to popular legend, the war god of Da Liang Huo Wujiu was once captured by the enemy country. His meridians were severed and both his legs broken before he was thrown into prison. In order to humiliate him, that dissolute ruler even gifted him to his cutsleeve brother as a concubine. General Huo suffered a great deal of humiliation and insult. He bided his time for three years before the cicada shed his skin and he escaped back to Da Jing. After treating his crippled legs, he led his army in three months to storm the enemy’s capital, slaughter its emperor, raze its capital, and finally beheaded that garbage cutsleeve, hanging his head on the city walls for three whole years. Since then, the world has been united. —— Jiang Suizhou, a history department graduate advisor at a certain university, received a dissertation which used these unofficial histories of Huo Wujiu as their basis, and criticized the student to no end. When he opened his eyes again, he had transmigrated into that cutsleeve prince from the stories. There were lanterns and colorful decorations everywhere. A servant came, sending word that the disabled general of the enemy state had already entered the prince’s manor in his wedding sedan. Facing down General Huo, who had been tortured to the verge of death, dressed in red wedding clothes, glaring balefully, Jiang Suizhou only then knew – these wild stories could also come true. And cause him to be beheaded for public display, his head hung on the city walls for three years. Jiang Suizhou’s only option was to provide for General Huo well. The overt and covert attacks of the imperial court, the witless ruler’s every possible humiliations — he grit his teeth and absorbed it all, all in the hopes that in three years time, he could but keep this head of his. Of course, he didn’t dare to even dream of asking this 9 ci* tall “concubine” to actually serve him. However, before the three years was up, General Huo’s legs actually healed on their own. Not only did he slaughter the useless ruler and unified the country, but he also forcefully blocked him in the room and insisted on fulfilling his duty as “concubine.” ———————————————————- *approx 6ft 10in or 2,08m in today’s measures

## My Thoughts on After the Disabled God of War Became My Concubine "After the Disabled God of War Became My Concubine" promised a blend of historical romance, political intrigue, and a dash of humor, and for the most part, it delivered a pretty enjoyable experience. It's definitely a novel that sucked me in, and I found myself eager to see how the relationship between the MC and ML would unfold. ### First Impressions The initial chapters were strong, immediately throwing me into the world and the MC's predicament. As a history professor transmigrated into a historical drama, the MC's rational approach to his situation was refreshing. I appreciated that the author didn't rely on overused tropes and instead crafted a story where the characters' actions felt logical and consistent. The premise itself – a disabled God of War forced into a marriage with a prince – had me hooked from the start. ### What Works Well The core of the novel lies in the relationship between Jiang Suizhou (MC) and Huo Wujiu (ML). Their dynamic is genuinely heartwarming, and their slow-burn romance felt natural and earned. I especially liked how the author handled their communication; they were surprisingly honest with each other, avoiding many of the frustrating misunderstandings that plague similar stories. The political intrigue, while not overly complex, provided a good backdrop for their relationship to develop. I also found the side characters, particularly the "concubines," to be entertaining, even if they did fade into the background later on. ### Areas of Concern While I enjoyed the novel overall, there were a few aspects that held it back from being a perfect read. The pacing faltered somewhat in the later chapters, and the ending felt a little rushed. I also felt that some of the side characters could have been more fleshed out, and the villains weren't particularly compelling. ### ⚠️ Spoiler Warning Some readers might be disappointed by the handling of Huo Wujiu's disability. While the novel addresses it and eventually offers a solution, it could be a sensitive topic for some. Also, the later conflict with Huo Wujiu's clan felt rushed and not entirely believable. The extras, while appreciated, might not be readily available everywhere, leaving some readers wanting more closure. ### Final Verdict Despite its flaws, "After the Disabled God of War Became My Concubine" is a worthwhile read if you're looking for a sweet and engaging historical romance with a touch of political intrigue. The strong character dynamics, particularly the relationship between the MC and ML, make it a memorable and enjoyable experience. I'd recommend it, especially if you're in the mood for a story that balances fluff with substance. I give it a solid 4 out of 5 stars.
