After the Disabled God of War Became My Concubine

Description

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

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.”

Uwohhhhh this is a good novel, no plot holes, the chara also interpreted nicely, also I love the MC, just because he comes from the future it doesn't make him too OP, he is smart and know how to cover his weakness. Also MC and ML not fall in love in 5s, they took the time and it's a healty relationship. I read the Mtl and it's easy to read even though there are some terms that can't be translated.

Hope someone will pick this novel because it's worth it^^ /sorry... more>> for my bad english/ <<less

A really good novel, short and well written.

The fact MC and ML are clearly made for each other and complement each other best <3

The political things and court drama are well written and not boring, the characters are interesting and developing, the romance is natural and straightforward, and there’s no “I can’t be in love with him because I’m not gay!” moment, so you already know it’s good.

Also, the way MC obviously is great at pretending and playing the court game while still being honest and sweet, and the fact... more>> only ML can really see it...

Also, the villains are all very well written. Although the last one feels kinda rushed, the clues are all there pointing towards him, and the fact the s*upid king was s*upid for a reason well described in text also doesn’t feel far off. Supporting characters, such as Gu Changyin (?), Xu Du and the Luo father and daughter are also well written and not deliberately made s*upid by the plot, but are indeed interesting and relevant everywhere, even when they are first introduced to induce jealousy among the main pair lol (the jealousy also doesn’t last long, the author is very clean about this). And Ming Qiansheng! He’s such a sweetie, honestly, he always made me smile :)

Also the fact Luo Wanjun (fave) also had a happy ending with a soft and sweet scholar who treated her best and didn’t try to “rule her in”... Only the best of luck for my baby!

The consistency and plot of the story is very good, and everywhere we have clues and tips down around to weave it all better. The MTL is also relatively easy to understand, and the language is very flowy.

Overall, 4.5/5, so I’ll round it up to 5 since this story definitely deserves it! <<less

waaah I just read the two translated chapters and I like it so much already! I wish some translator picks it up soon as a regular project because the current translator seems to be doing this as a side project only till someone else picks it up from them, so updates will be sporadic... someone please give me an mtl link if you have!

It's surprisingly not interesting.

I mean, it got 4.6 stars currently, generally 4.5 stars is the standard ratings of all those good books out here, so my expectation was high, but even my satisfaction standard was never met.

One factor maybe was this was 2025 and the era of this plot had long been hashed with time. Countless similar stories had been made and I was looking for something new, and even if it was not new, at least an enjoyable read. But I just got bored with it.

This book was made... more>> in 2021 and by this year, all this plot had already been reuse, so I did not expect to read the same old thing. Just not that creative enough. My general rule, if you plan to take something common, take it and make it uncommon. Though this book had different starting point, and situation, generally nothing really changed and that is why after giving it a chance by reading the minimum of 10 chapters, I made the decision to drop it. If by this point there's no excitement in my reading, then I should not expect it in the future chapters.

I was hoping that even if the plot did not make it, at least the character were hooking enough, or the stakes was thrilling enough, or even the character's plight and walks was entertaining enough to accompany. But it's just an average novel.

In no way this is terrible, it was just not enough. If you're requirements is not that high, then consider reading this. The translation, although not perfect, was legible and comprehensive enough to read. The story was not utterly boring, there was tension, and you might enjoy it. It was just not enough for me. <<less

Its a very well-paced story about an ancient era combined with slow building romance that is very much worth following. The story does not have many unexpected twists, but what kept me hooked is how well-written it was. There was no forcing, there was no non-con in the name of "love". There was no dog blood drama that only served to progress the plot.

I am picky in things I like, and I liked this quite a bit.

I think the initial arc was amazing, brilliant, showstopping. But after it ended, I took a break from reading, and when later came back, I did not enjoy the second arc as much. Still an enjoyable novel

Giving it 5 stars to keep its overall rating above 4. <<less

This entire story made me feel so many different (good) things! I still feel so happy even after completing it.

It's a well rounded story, with proper closure. The characters have depth and everybody has their own reason for doing what they do, but where this shines is the romance.

They really only get together officially nearing the end, but you can feel their mutual love long before that. You can see their concern and sacrifice for each other in the way they always factor each other into their plans. There's so... more>> much unconditional love, and the misunderstandings that happen are all ones that are welcome.

This story left me feeling jubilant and fulfilled. I am a binge reader who loses her focus and attraction to a story the longer she spends not reading it, so it's seldom been the case that I've completed a story that I only got to read for a few minutes every other day. This story, however, made me read it till the end even if it took me a few months to chip into it during some of my free time in my really packed schedule. There was something really attractive about it; you might not find anything special in it if you want something with political intrigue or lots of action, but this felt a lot like a healing story. The pace wasn't slow and it didn't drag, there were no fillers, many things were happening, but it still ended making me feel peaceful. I absolutely loved that everybody gets closure. The extras are a gem and make me a bit weepy because of how lovely the main characters are and how absolutely whipped they are for each other.

The best thing about this story is probably how equal their relationship is. Neither of them fall in love at first sight, nor does anybody fall first. Their love is a slow, gradual, and a very natural process. It's impossible to say who fell first because they both fall together.

Both the MC and the ML are such green flags I absolutely love them. And even though the focus is primarily on the two protagonists, other characters also get to shine. All of them feel so human, with their own stengths and weaknesses, none of them is too overpowered. The ending of the main text also makes me feel so many emotions. I really appreciate the author for bringing this gem to us. The translations were also pretty good, though sometimes the pronouns were wrong and caused some confusion.

10/10 for the story, plot and characterization. I normally don't reread but I might just make this one an exception. <<less

Very good! The people who rate this story low likely go in thinking that it will be full of political intrigue with convoluted twists and turns. It is a romance first, and a political intrigue second. I would even say that it feels more realistic than most political intrigue novels because the plans are smart, but not overly complicated and delicate. I'm quite tired of political intrigues where the success of any scheme rests on the head of a needle, or is full of convoluted mindgames. If your entire plan... more>> relies on Concubine Jin stumbling over a loose rock, or there's some sort of poisoned teacup mindgames standoff a la Death Note... then come on. Be serious.

This story is a good length, not too long or too short; minimal overly flowerly descriptions or irritating repetitious phrases; no random side characters disappearing and then popping up suddenly after a hundred chapters; no space wasted on irrelevant side plotlines; condensed and easy to keep track of cast; satisfying romantic development; satisfying plot development. While there are misunderstandings, they aren't annoying and are ultimately harmless.

It's been fun watching the MC and MLs' relationship develop through the novel, and both characters are very attractive, have distinct personalities, and feel like reasonable people. The side characters are engaging, though a little s*upid at times, and the villains are appropriately hateful. There's no shortage of vinegar early on in the story, but there are even more loving scenes between the MC and ML as things progress.

For the lack of typical danmei sins and for the quality of story and translation, I give it 5/5 stars. <<less

Completed the mainstory and it was wonderful! I've already read this MTL before and reread it again now after having the translations completed.

This is one of the top novels in my list, I'm a sucker for ancient BLs with powercouple and this is IT. The romance isn't forced even though it's arranged marriage and Huo Wujiu is so WHIPPEDDDD

I feel it's lacking on something though

At some point his thinktank concubines got forgotten in the story and it's such a shame. There could've been so much potential on that aspect (but that's just my opinion)

There are some loose threads as well, like what happened to the supposed spies in his courtyard from the beginning of the story? They kinda got forgotten as well too.

Also regarding Jing Wang's health, he was poisoned apparently since childhood, but the author didn't reveal who did it or if he was cured in the end

Really enjoyed this novel.

MC is just really someone I like, he by no means strong. But he's intelligent, know how to speak and knows how to handle people. Very kind, upright, cute and pure

ML is very strong, cold but slowly becomes MC's dog tag, open up his feelings, knows what he's doing, stubborn but willing listen to MC and make decisions. A rare trait in a ML!

Plot was really simple, just two sided court drama for the most part between villain minister and Emperor against MC and his people. There's... more>> only 2 places we only need to worry about North and South, easy to see the whole picture and follow the plot.

Other characters are really fun, especially MC and Ml's subordinates.

The relationship between MC and ML has really good chemistry we went from - Hate - luke warm- Guard dropped- fuzzy warm- smitten- Love. Also seeing them protecting each other is really awesome

Though the 2nd half seems to be just quick writing, with ML bulldozing through the plot and ended the one who plot his defeat very easily. First half had alot of plots back and forth 2nd half just one sided and alot of plot convivences were pulled out. <<less

This was such a good read. This is too good. I love how author didnt rush their romance but perfectly marinated into something so good. Its was slow burn but very well done.

My heart was clenching tightly watching MC getting tortured. The fact that I was anxious along with MC during the scenes, shows that this novel is quite something. The climax scenes was very well written.

The Villains got what they deserve. ML is very Op.

Currently reading it. Was really entertaining in the beginning, it got muddled after 140-160 chapters, but I will read it to the end.

As of now, from 5 stars it got to around 3.7 in my heart. Hope the story will pick up and become interesting again (and I believe it really might, considering we have the final face-off happening now).

I'm enjoying this novel a lot so far! There's a good balance in the characterization, I think, where the MC isn't too OP or too ridiculous like some transfiguration novels can get. The translation is.... odd in places, though, and often has me going "is this edited MTL?"

For example, they call the MC "King" when he should be a Prince (or possibly a Duke) since he's the brother of the Emperor. I suspected it was a bad translation of 王爷, which sure enough it was. Another part that stuck out... more>> to me as very odd was the MC supposedly writing down the parts he found important in a conversation when it was a talk happening over a meal- and sure enough, the CN says 极了下来,which goog translates as write down but also means (and more importantly, contextually means), just to note the important bits (i.e. making a mental note to oneself). This does make the constant patreon adverts at the end of every chapter much less savory for me, but does explain to me how they can claim to have up to 24 "advance" chapters available to Patreon subscribers. I think I'd be less annoyed with the adverts if there was a break between the text of the chap and the advert, but there is none usually and the text just continues to the advertisement.

Anyway, this is just to say- if you are reading the translation perhaps take it with a grain more salt than you typically would (or should) as to the definitivity of the text. Since there are definitely some glaring issues I see that go beyond differences in translator interpretation. <<less

➺ 3/5 🌟

I actually expected more from this novel, but unfortunately, it didn't lived up to it. Maybe because I MTLed the whole novel, it affected my experience a lot. The political side of the plot is nothing meticulous, the antagonists are just brainless cannon fodders. I kept going because of the romance, but even that part is kind of lacking for me. I still enjoyed it while reading it, but I do think that this is quite unforgettable for me. That actually makes me sad because I really thought... more>> I would loved this when I first read the synopsis. Maybe I would blame some of it to the fact that I read the MTL and it influenced my whole reading experience. <<less

nothing too complicated. A simple, transmigrating story with a system that ends with a HEA. The MC and the ML have a good relationship that takes it time to be "completed" and both of them as characters are decent and sweet.

Definitely recommend it to pass a relaxing drama free reading.

I labeled the chapter as what is marked by the translator but I think I am around chapter 60?

Anyways!! I am completely in love with the story. I am so invested. It’s the first time I write a review to express how much I loved the story.

the relationship between the two characters is precious and they are extremely sweet to each other.

The MC wants to avoid being beheaded by the ML so he treats him extremely well lol, and because of MC’s pretty face and weak health ML finds MC... more>> very cute and adorable and gradually falls in love with the MC. <<less

I couldn’t wait for the translator to complete all chapters. I MTL-ed my way to the end of the book.

The MTL version wasn’t so bad.

This book will probably make waves in the international Danmei circuit after it gets fully translated. Until then, it remains a hidden gem.

... more>> Even though I loved this book, I have a few complaints.

-The book drags its feet a bit after Chapter 111

-The author doesn’t close the arc on some minor characters and I’ll probably never know what happened to them.

-The ML acts wolffish after the main characters get together. Which was cute at times but felt a bit out of character for who he had been until that point.

Now onto the good parts

This book almost felt like a simpler version of QJJ. A cold-hearted ML who is a god of war with a physique to die for. A calculative and shrewd MC who is pretty and also sickly. The two use their relationship to hoodwink others into thinking they’re enemies.

I particularly liked the romance. Misunderstandings were done right. Somewhat stretched but not to the degree that I wanted to pull my hair out.

The characterisation was nicely done. I especially liked the ML and how his character developed. The MC is a sweetheart and it was easy to sympathise and feel for him.

The antagonists were an interesting bunch. Some were simple, some were more complicated.

Overall, a nice transmigration novel.

I’ll reread it once it’s fully translated which should be, approximately five months from now. <<less

I really love it! Story interesting and heroes are not standard! The love between them is so strong and without any r*pe or something like this! It's the adult relationship when people talk with each other when having a problem! It's first a novel when lovers speak and don't do something than can hurt another person! Love love love! Really recommended!

The only thing I'm sad this novel doesn't have is smut but don't let it stop you from reading it.

The polical issues are gold and MC and ML are a power couple who compliment each other! Their strengths fill in the weaknesses of the other, they're so meant to be. Some danmeis have their MC or ML or sometimes even situations that are honestly a little annoying but ahhh, this one is not included! The politics in the palace will keep you hyped up!

There are misunderstandings between MC/ML at times but there’s no unnecessary drama or much angst

Give this a try!
