The General Only Fears the Maiden’s Escape

Description

Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.

Everyone says that General Chai’s personality is cruel and tyrannical, having beaten to death servants and that he prefers men. Even if rumors cannot be completely believed, she doesn’t want to go along with her stepmother’s social ladder climbing intentions. Although she knows that it is improper, she decides to give him a show of severity to prevent him from coming to propose marriage. But before receiving his consent, her stepmother had already made her move. Not only did she order a servant to bring muddle-headed her to the brothel, she colluded with the brothel owner to make plans for her, to let the two of them reach the stage where there’s no going back, and force her to marry.

Luckily, he knew from the start and took advantage of this to play along and help her escape from this trouble. She discovered then that he actually conducts himself in an upright and honest manner, not at all cruel and ruthless like rumors said.

Who knew that her stepmother would put her under house arrest for money, wanting to sell her to someone as a concubine. He worried about her situation, and did not hesitate at all to look after her in the nights, and even making his liking towards her known, making her realize that she had long carved the imposing and handsome him into her heart.

However, with the day of her wedding approaching, the her without freedom did not dare to hope for any results with him. Who knew that in spite of his status of a general, that in spite of criticisms, he would come to steal the bride!

A few months ago, the translator did a partial rage quit (due to reader comments) and so will only release the translation once they're done with the series. Except for chapter 1, all previously released chapters were put under a password. I'm going from memory here, since its not like I can check the latest chapter, but the story reads like a sligtly above average, but typical historical Chinese romance novel. Is it worth waiting how ever many years for it to be released? Probably not. Just pick up this... more>> story if and when the translation is complete. <<less

This novel is completely translated! The FL is a bit annoying because even when faced with love she would rather suffer than let the 'reputation' of ML be damaged. In that era obviously men could get away with anything and accepting help from a decent man should have been fine.

The whole novel us a bit rushed. But it is a happy ending.

I liked the idea of the story. A bit longer novel would have made it more enjoyable.

Definitely worth reading.

i don't like this novel is because of MC she is s*upid naive useless who can't think right choose. MC is useless who can't shut her stepmother when she sell her and drug her if not for ML help, she would end up with sleep digust man. She shouldn't rejected ML help. She go her reputation ruin. One of useless MC character I ever dislike.

This one drags too long. This 9 chapters can be put into 2/3 chapters.

Spoiler

1. Wicked and greedy stepmom wants to seize all her husband (FL's dad) wealth to repair her parents family.

2. Married off FL to 50 y.o. Merchant to get the bethrotal money.

3. The general (ML) finally saved FL by kidnapping the bride in the process.

4. FL and ML finally get married and FL Will give birth in a couple of months.

[collapse]

No comment about their characters, but ML character is admirable in spite of FL's confused and uninspiring decision.

Don't know whether it was the translation or the writing itself, but there would a couple of times where, even after re-reading a couple of times, I still didn't really understand. Or rather, I understood what was happening, but not by virtue of the words on the page.

I agree that the main leads' love comes rather suddenly, but as it follows a well-established pattern of falling in love (she/he is interesting/different -> become more interested -> start to care about them -> love) that is condensed down to suit the... more>> pacing and length of the story it still worked.

In terms of character, the ML's character is far superior to the FL's. While she is standard, he is quite interesting, especially the little anecdotes about just how the bad rumours about him came about. Strong without being over-bearing, pushy without being too much, reassuring without taking away someone's freedom.

Overall, you have nothing to lose from reading this; it's not exceptionally outstanding but there are definitely worse things to waste your time reading. <<less

FL always put up a strong woman persona but in reality, she was completely naive and useless. She got schemed by her stepmother over and over again without any ability to fight back. She arrogantly rejected ML's help, stating that she would only marry someone she loved. Really FL? How naive. As a noble herself, she should know better that it was a rare case for a noble to mutually love each other before marriage since the marriage was often decided by both parents with both interests took into account. And by how her stepmother treated her, how could she have a good marriage? Moreover, after rejecting ML, she got a much worse marriage partner and in the end, she needed ML to come to the rescue.

And what about the evil stepmother? There's nothing happened to her as FL easily forgave her despite all the things that she had done to her. Even the servant who betrayed her got a gift from her as a farewell gift. How s*upid. No wonder she got bullied and schemed over and over again.

As for ML, he seemed to fall head over heels towards FL a bit way too fast. He did so many s*upid things just so he could be with FL, even offended the emperor and broke his parent's heart by feigning death just so he could obtain the title for FL. I know FL was worth to fight, but I still think that ML was a bit too wilful and selfish.

Very good short story. It has a that nice vibe that keeps you engaged and hooked. It was a breeze reading this because it was easy to digest what was happening at the pace it was going. As far as the development between the characters, it was sweet and fluffy. I can't help but like them. I'd be sure to read it again, as a filler, while waiting on updates or when I'm in dire need of fluff.",)

This novel is super short yet compact. Since it's short, the development of the story and character are kind of being rush. Minor characters are being ignored. But as a short novel, it's quite okay. Overall I like and enjoy the story.

I really liked most of this story.

There were 2 things that involved her 1/2 sister and the dowry and then the thing that happened between him and her at the end. Not gonna have any spoilers, so will just be abstract enough that you will understand when you read it, but unless you do, you will just be confused.

I found the MC and the ML characters strong and interesting.

I wish that it was longer. Would have loved a few more chapters afterwards or an epilogue go see how things turn... more>> out.

Both translators did a pretty good job and there aren't any hiccups or difficulty reading. <<less

the characters are rather lacking, the pace of the story was too rushed and the story development makes little sense.

Spoiler

at first the MC hates females and then after meeting the FC he finds her interesting and the next time he is almost madly in love with her.

The FC at first dislikes the MC and all of a sudden he is the most gentle and noble man in her eyes. And also she is completely helpless while the character description keeps insisting that she is strong and oh so unlike other girls....

with regard to the side characters they are either completely evil, selfish or they like the FC because she has intelligent eyes or whatsoever.

Great short story/novel. A plot that is quirky yet engaging and surprisingly romantic. The character development is fairly good with each being interesting and distinctly unique in their own way. The translations were quite decent however some areas left me wondering what was going on exactly, but it's hard to tell if this is translator or author. If the writing was a little better (adaption perhaps?) then it'd get 5 stars from me.

Only gripe I had with it was that the ending was too rushed. Plus I would have made him grovel much more if I was her.
Spoiler

He fake died in battle and if she pulled a Romeo-and-Juliet and killed herself before he came back, he would have probably deserved it.

But besides that, very nice novel.

The speed of the novel and romance is rather fast. I wish the author had spent more time on character development and the romance development between both lead.

But regardless this is a nice read cause there is only 9 chapters to read.

Originally I had put 4 star. But I changed it cause I was disappointed with the ending. Author could had done better.....
