Major General, Please Be Gentle

At the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China (around 1911), Major General Leng Feng, who had made great military achievements in Song Xi city, married the pampered young lady Qiao Han of the wealthy Qiao family who did silk business. Leng Feng thought that Qiao Han was just a quiet and an innocent young lady. In this life, he thought they would treat each other like guests. However, he never thought – on the wedding night, before consummation, she asked his help to bring her pajamas into the bathroom, swayed around in front of him in her thin silk nightgown that could be described as “equal to not wearing”, and even asked him if he wanted to go to the bathroom before consummating? From the white and tender jade like arm that she extented from the bathroom just then to the attractive female body with only the thin nightgown… Was this seducing him? Whether she was seducing him or not, he just — wants to f*ck her. In their passion, Leng Feng listened to the alluring moans and soft whispers of the girl under him and he could also smell the faint fragrance of the girl. It seemed that this marriage was truly right.

## My Thoughts on Major General, Please Be Gentle ### First Impressions Alright, let's dive into "Major General, Please Be Gentle." Going in, I knew this was going to be a quick and steamy read, and it definitely lived up to that expectation. The premise is pretty straightforward: an arranged marriage between a young woman and a Major General in what seems to be the Republic of China era. If you're looking for a story with a lot of plot, this might not be for you, but if you want something light and spicy, keep reading. ### What Works Well The main draw here is definitely the chemistry between the leads. They hit it off pretty quickly, and the story doesn't shy away from exploring their physical connection. I appreciated that the author didn't drag out the "will they, won't they" for too long. The smut scenes are frequent, and while some might find them a bit much, I thought they were well-integrated into the story. It's clear the author focused on creating a narrative where the characters enjoyed each other's company, both in and out of the bedroom. The pacing is fast, making it an easy and engaging read. I also liked the historical setting, which added a unique flavor to the romance. ### Areas of Concern While the story is enjoyable, it's not without its flaws. The plot is admittedly thin, and the drama feels somewhat manufactured. I did find myself getting a little frustrated with the female lead's initial naivete and her unwavering defense of a friend, even when the friend was clearly in the wrong. It felt like a forced conflict to add some tension to the otherwise smooth relationship between the main characters. Also, I personally found the secondary characters a little underdeveloped, and the "love rivals" felt more like plot devices than genuine threats. ### ⚠️ Spoiler Warning Okay, so there's one particular kink that's mentioned in the story that might not be for everyone. It involves fruit, shall we say, being used in a rather *interesting* way. It's definitely a unique scene, and the translator even provided a warning, which I found considerate. If you're not into that kind of thing, you might want to skip those parts. ### Final Verdict Overall, "Major General, Please Be Gentle" is a fun and quick read if you're in the mood for a smutty romance with minimal drama. It's not going to win any awards for its plot, but it delivers on its promise of a sweet and sexy story. I'd recommend it to readers who enjoy lighthearted romance with a generous helping of spice. Just be aware of the potential trigger warnings and go in with the right expectations!
