When Will General Come Marry Me?

Shu Shi country’s Little Prince fell in love at first sight with the eldest son of Qi family. He declared: If it’s not the general, I will never get married! The Emperor was furious: Three generations of the Qi family are all generals. Qi Nanke is their eldest son, how can he give his hand to you in marriage? The aggrieved Little Prince sighed regretfully: Then, I can give my hand to him. Qi Nanke heard the news. He quickly returned to Royal City to break the engagement, but halfway through, he met the Little Prince who had snuck out from the Royal City. Little Prince traveled a thousand miles to see his husband. Who would have thought he would encounter mountain bandits and was even coincidentally saved by Qi Nanke? — The Little Prince squeaked out mandarin in Shu Shi’s dialect: It can’t be, it can’t be! How could my white moonlight grow up to be like this? Qi Nanke: … Little Prince: Don’t touch this daddy!! (`皿′)

## My Thoughts on *When Will General Come Marry Me?* *When Will General Come Marry Me?* is a short and sweet historical BL novel that I found to be a delightful, if quick, read. The premise is simple: a seemingly naive prince is arranged to marry a stoic general. What unfolds is a charming story filled with political intrigue, humor, and a blossoming romance. ### First Impressions Initially, I was drawn in by the promise of a fluffy, low-angst story, and it largely delivered. The setup is classic: the MC appears to be a spoiled, somewhat foolish prince. However, as the story progresses, it becomes clear that he's much more intelligent and cunning than he lets on. The ML, on the other hand, is the strong, silent type – a respected general who quickly finds himself intrigued by the prince. ### What Works Well The dynamic between the two leads is definitely a highlight. I enjoyed watching the MC's carefully constructed facade slowly crumble as he falls for the ML, and seeing the ML's initial resistance melt away as he discovers the MC's true nature. The humor is well-placed and genuinely funny, often stemming from the MC's antics and the misunderstandings that arise. The political intrigue, while not the main focus, adds a layer of depth to the story. I appreciated that the schemes and conspiracies were handled efficiently, without dragging the plot down with unnecessary drama. The pacing is generally good, although it does feel rushed in certain parts due to the story's short length. I also appreciated the translation, which felt natural and easy to read. ### Areas of Concern The story's brevity is both a blessing and a curse. While it makes for a quick and easy read, it also means that some aspects, particularly the development of the romance and the resolution of the conspiracy, feel somewhat rushed. I found myself wishing for more detailed exploration of the characters' emotions and motivations. ### ⚠️ Spoiler Warning Some readers have pointed out that the MC's initial attraction to the ML is based largely on a past impression and physical appearance, which can come across as superficial. While I can see how this might be off-putting to some, I personally didn't find it to be a major issue. However, it's worth noting that some readers have found the MC's comments on the ML's appearance to be problematic. ### Final Verdict Overall, I enjoyed *When Will General Come Marry Me?* It's a lighthearted and entertaining story with likable characters and a satisfying ending. While it's not without its flaws, its strengths outweigh its weaknesses. If you're looking for a quick and fluffy BL read with a touch of political intrigue, this might be just what you're looking for. I'd recommend it, especially if you're in the mood for something short and sweet.
