After Being Forced to Marry the Evil Star General
Zhao Yelan was born as a criminal s*ave and was rescued by the Third Prince. After years of painstaking efforts to put him on the throne, Zhao Yelan became a sycophantic minister whom everyone detested, but he was actually given a marriage by that person to general Yan Mingting, the lone star of Tiansha.
The general caused the death of his own father, his mother, his wife, and his dog. Everyone hoped that the curse would also kill Zhao Yelan as soon as possible.
On the wedding night, Zhao Yelan, who was dressed in red, took out a dagger, his eyes sharp: “What do you want?”
Yan Mingting held his hand tightly, and borrowed his dagger to carve a large character on the head of the bed – – Early.
“You’re weak and frail, get up early every day and practice horse stance with me!”
“?”
The common people thought this marriage was truly wonderful!
They heard that this big minister was beaten every day. He had to repair the roof tiles when the house leaked and also work in the kitchen. He served his husband and was very obedient, and from then on, he didn’t dare condemn people.
Hey, the general was truly mighty!
Zhao Yelan sat lazily by the bed, playing with the dagger, and raised the ends of his eyes slightly: “Where did these rumors come from?”
“From my dog mouth.” Yan Mingting, who was in horse stance, patted his thigh. “Madam, please take the seat of honor. You don’t have to get up early tomorrow.”

4.5/5 🌟
Another danmei couple with a really good and hilarious banter. The MC and ML are such a mismatched couple, but they undoubtedly have a great chemistry, with their relationship progression so subtle and natural.
It started with a capable and famous 'evil star' general and a sycophantic and ruthless minister being forced by the new emperor with an arranged marriage. They are not actually enemies, since their lives only intersected twice a few years back and they actually benefited from each other with those few interactions. But that's just it, they're basically strangers and even though they couldn't be considered enemies, that arranged marriage made them unsatisfied and they ended up 'hating' each other.
The other reviews I read said that the ML is such a bully, but I don't think it can be seen as something negative. MC is always fierce and snapped at him all the time and often acted as the superior one in the household, but ML always teased him every single chance he gets until MC got red in anger. It's a harmless teasing and I actually think their back and forth helped to diffuse the tension and ended up as a great entertainment as a reader. In my opinion, ML is actually very patient with MC and accepted every single unreasonable demands. I don't even remember the ML getting mad at MC and he's the one who's good and flexible at adjusting their relationship. I actually loved ML's energy so much. His vibe actually reminded me of Yan Xie from Po Yun, in a sense that they're both strong and capable with their field of expertise but definitely have a brain hole. They both loved to brag about their relationship with their MC in an exaggerated manner, but they're also very much madly in love with them.
The MC is a flamboyant peacock who cares about his appearance so much. He was often criticized with how extravagant he dressed, how luxurious he lives his life and how 'a man like him' even used fragrances like a woman (weird connotation, I know, but what can you do with a setting like this). But these way of living has a deeper reason than simple vanity. He's also feared and hated by most people as a ruthless minister who put the current emperor on the throne. But the ML is not among those people who judged him.
The ML once mentioned that he wished they got to know each other much earlier, but the MC didn't agree with that. MC said that they met at the perfect time, when his revenge with the people in his past is almost finished and the war on the ML's side is also done. That even if they met earlier, they would have grown apart with both of them having different focuses in life. That's why the plot is mostly focused on the MC and ML's relationship growth. There might be some other conflicts outside of their relationship, but it's either the aftermath of a big event that happened in the past or it's a passing predicament that served as good tool to highlight the relationship of the MC and ML more.
I had an absolute blast reading this one. Definitely recommended. The couple became one of my favorite danmei couples and this novel entered my favorite list. For those who loved historical setting with a hate to love trope, you'll definitely loved this one.

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!

3rd Person POV
This was an ok read for me.
I agree with the other reviews that this was boring at times and went on for too long. I only carried on reading it for the characters who are likeable.
I liked the character development of Zhao Yelan (MC). I thought he was a brat at first but the more I read on I actually grew to like him. Yan Mingting (ML) has the patience of a saint. They deserved their happy ending.
Ngl I couldn't help compare this to 'Married Thrice to Salted Fish' and wished I was reading that instead at times.
So yeah, the premise is great but the execution could've been better.

[This review doesn't make justice to the novel.]
I don't really remember how I discovered this title but it sounded the alarm I got after reading all that manhwa with similar ridiculous titles. Despite that I decided to give it a chance and for me it was totally worth it.
Arranged marriage is not exactly my favourite trope. Especially when it comes to same sex marriages. This is mostly because I think that it's unlikely for such marriage to work out due to the fact that chances should be that it's likely that at least one party would not be interested in same sex relationships. In this novel, however, it worked out quite well and was even more convincing than some arranged marriages for heterosexual couples in other novels I've read.
The romance between Zhao Yelan and Yan Mingting was quite lively and at least to me seemed especially real.
In the beginning, Zhao Yelan is like an experienced but not very healthy ferocious wild cat ready to bite and scratch at everyone who dares go close to him but he gradually transforms into capricious domestic cat who if in the mood allows Yan Mingting to stroke his fur. He's like a hard-to-grow plant that needs a lot of care to fully bloom but at the same time he refuses to wilt even if he doesn't get care though his true beauty could only be realised in the right hands. He's like a rose with many thorns that needs to be held carefully and without fear that he'll stab you or a hedgehog whose trust Yan Mingting has to win before Zhao Yelan leave him touch his soft belly under his sharp exterior. And of course, he's like a peacock during the mating season. Especailly after he made up his mind to stay with Yan Mingting. After that, he paid even more attention to his looks and put his intelligence into maintaining his relationship with General Yan.
On the other hand, Yan Mingting is like a dog. Loyal, pure, honest, full of good intentions. He loves Zhao Yelan unconditionally. No matter how many times Zhao Yelan is mean to him, Yan Mingting always tries to get himself in his good graces. For him every day is a battle for Zhao Yelan's good will and every time he gets it he's incredibly happy and brags about it to everyone.
The relationship between Zhao Yelan and Yan Mingting develops so naturally and even before they've had time to catch their breaths they got so attached to each other that they remind me of a pair of swans.
I found the novel heartwarming and alive and I'd like to read it again some day.

Yan Mingting took a look at Zhao Yelan and invented love just for him, I’m being so serious rn.
The character growth Zhao Yelan had NEEDS to be studied. This man went from considering (very seriously) killing Yan Mingting to preparing his own fucking funeral in case Yan Mingting died because of the poison. He was legit ready to kill himself because he didn’t want to live without him.

Ngl many times I was quite bored reading this. The plot is just so-so, the conflicts are shallow & the solutions deliver themselves to the door. And while I do like the characters, I feel like they’re not utilized to their full potentials.

4.5 stars.
This series was heartwarming. Although Yan Mingting and Zhao Yelan started off on bitter terms from being put into a humiliating marriage essentially designed to diminish their power, they quickly formed a wary ally ship, then friendship, and finally learned to place their trust in the other in a way Zhao Yelan never truly had before. Yan Mingting also was able to assuage his own fears that he was an evil star because no matter what, even if everyone else left, Zhao Yelan would always stand at his side. Where Yan Mingting was strong of body and character, Zhao Yelan was shrewd, and they made each other better.
The side characters were also very enjoyable, and I liked Yan Mingting’s relationships with his military staff as well as Zhao Yelan’s bond with Gu Niaoniao.
It was a sweet series.

This was a winning bet for me. I didn't expect it to be so good! Probably one of the best-written danmei ever!
Historical with an arranged marriage, a well-paced slow burn, an achingly sweet couple, and a good plot! What else can I ask for?
Every character was interesting enough to snag my attention. Most of them matured, repented, or changed their views through the story. They acted according to their personalities and their life stories. There were no villains, just humans being selfish and making mistakes. I really loved that.
Oh, and let's not forget about the happy lesbian side couple. Hello? That was a surprise for sure.

March 11, 2024trigger warnings (sorry if I missed any!): depictions of torture, murder, enslaved children, drought, and prostitution.
I don’t rate books without official translations on goodreads, but this was very fun, especially because I love marriage-before-love/forced proximity tropes. The main couple’s dynamic was also cute and I loved all the side characters, especially Li Yucheng and how his character grew. I feel like sometimes in other books the characters enact vengeance in a way that is way too extreme on people who are just annoying and shitty and not like…mass murderers, so I’m glad that didn’t happen here. I also loved all the women we got! Though i wished Zuo Ran/Yin Pinglu were an explicit couple and not just gal pals.
My main complaint is that I thought the end wrapped up a little too neatly and that the final Yan Mingting poisoning plot should have been scrapped—both him and the emperor surviving the stuff that went down at the end seems way too far fetched with ye olde medicine (even with Zhao Xuan’s postscript fate).

my closure is not reading the extras
i think it was good, but at the time, I was looking for more harsh themed reads rather than light-hearted
(i like how the title says evil star general but the evil star barely has any importance other than Yan Mingting constantly being like "Zhao Yelan... do you think im actually a evil star?? :(((((")

“apart from zhao yelan's legendary official career, the aspect most discussed by later generations was his love affair with general yan mingting.
although the two were both men, one civil and one military, they helped run the country and suppressed rebellions. marrying because of an imperial decree, they got to know each other and fell in love, never abandoning each other, and this became a good story passed down from generation to generation.
according to unofficial history, after zhao yelan retired, he went with yan mingting to travel the mountains and rivers.
someone once saw them making tea and food in the countryside, laughing and cursing, so very happy; it was also seen that they drank fine wine and tasted delicacies high in tea houses, sharing worldly experiences.
no matter what sort of record, time constantly passed, and places constantly changed.
in this long life, it was truly difficult to find an intimate and understanding friend.
the only constant was that zhao yelan would always have yan mingting by his side.”
i didn’t expect to love this story as much as i did <3
i loved that the author gave us a cute lil wlw storyline and lovable character all throughout the story. gu niaoniao’s ending made me cry so bad. this novel was amazing.

Oh my God, this book is really very good and underrated. The author really makes a good description or narration that is easy to understand and easy to follow. Plus the comedy is really funny. Not only talking about the empire or politics, but also focusing on how the couple's relationship develops. Zhao Yelan! He's a tsundere but really cute. I totally understand why Yan Mingting fell in love with him. Oh, and his partner, Yan Mingting, is really hilarious and unpredictable. You'll find yourself giggling every time you read about his ridiculous behavior, and then you'll find yourself missing him when you're done reading. This book is definitely one of my comfort books. There is no plot that is too angsty, but for the extra chapter where Zhao Yelan decided to leave, and he didn't undo it, well, that drove me a little crazy, I cried like crazy. I love them so much.

╰┈➤ [ 3/5★]
Estuvo bien, me entretuvo y lo leí relativamente rápido.
Lo que más me gusto fue el desarrollo que tuvo Zhao Yelan y como las relaciones que forma con otros personajes (no solo con Yan Mingting) lo influyen como persona. Y el ver como no solo ganó un esposo maravilloso, sino que también amigos hizo sentir calentito mi corazón.
Pero eso sería, no es una novela que me haya dejado una gran impresión y tampoco tengo mucho que decir al respecto. Aun así, para pasar el rato esta bien.

OHMYGOD MY ABSOLUTELY FAVOURITE DANMEI!! The dynamic between the characters is pure gold, I almost choked laughing the ML was so hilarious please. This is the perfect combination of politics, fluffy romance, caring hubby and domineering wife (haha). Also the characterization and story-telling was immaculate. I enjoyed every moment of this danmei, but the housekeeper definitely steals the show (my most favourite).
March 10, 2024
I enjoyed the first half of the book better than the second half (which dragged a bit) but I did enjoy the main characters, especially the general ML.
Summary: The MC has helped the current emperor to the throne and now the emperor is trying to keep him in check by marrying him to the general. The MC expects the general to be ugly and the general is under the mistaken impression that the MC is in love with him. It's a bit of a slow burn but love eventually ensues.

Lost .5 because it had a slow start
This was a slice of life romance with some plot thrown in.
I was expecting the politics, scheming and mystery to play a bigger part so I was little disappointed but it was still a great read.
It did feel like it was dragging a bit because they were happy for too long lol but that’s just me
Super cute couple

this didn't really impress me in terms of plot or even the main character arcs, but it was just a genuinely good time and i had a lot of fun reading it! there were some slow moments but it was also nice to read a lower-stakes danmei that didn't have a ton of angst. the romance is definitely romancing and at times it was perhaps... a little too sweet for me... but again. just a good time

likee this novel, my fav genre enemies to lovers, smart couple.
Ceritanya ringan dan lucu. Setidaknya kita harus punya satu yan mingting dalam hidup ga sih, biar tau rasanya dicintai dengan bar bar 🫠 pasangan ini juga menggemaskan, baik yan mingting maupun zhao yelan sama2 menjadi diri sendiri saat bersama. Huah, i love the story, end i love the ending

Good story but just not on par with other historical novels.
Once the couple got together it wasn’t all that exciting anymore. And I wasn’t invested enough in the other characters to want to read on.
