Description
Yuan Li was an excellent logistics personnel on the battlefield. One day, after transmigrating, he found himself in ancient times as the son of a minor official. With tears in his parents eyes, they sent him to Chu Wang Mansion to marry to drive away the evil spirits for the ailing young master of the Chu family. On that day, Chu Hechao, the second son of the Chu Wang Mansion, returned hurriedly from the battlefield, still wearing his armor. Without even taking it off, he performed the ceremonial rites on behalf of his brother and paid respects to the heavens and earth alongside Yuan Li. Yuan Li caught a whiff of the scent of blood and dust on Chu Hechao’s body, and his heart skipped a beat. He understood that this was a dangerous individual. That night, Chu Hechao drank a cup of ceremonial wine with Yuan Li on behalf of his brother. Yuan Li smiled gently and said, “General, please.” As he held the wine cup, his fingers were as slender as jade, and his handsome face was adorned with long, fluttering eyelashes. Chu Hechao stared at him for a while, his expression a smile but not a smile, before raising his hand and downing the wine in one gulp. Half a month later, the young master of the Chu Wang Mansion passed away, and Chu Hechao abducted Yuan Li, taking him on a horse and heading straight for the frontier. *** Yuan Li continued to exert his efforts on the ancient battlefield. He cultivated crops, raised cattle and sheep, cleared roads, and established medical facilities. Busy day in and day out, he fed the mighty army and comforted the wounded soldiers, turning the military camp into a better place. The generals treated him as if they were meeting their parents who provided them with food and clothing. The only man who had brought him here wore a perpetual scowl, suppressing his anger. “I am the one you married, the one who drank the ceremonial wine with you, and also the one who shared the wedding chamber with you. Shouldn’t you be looking at me?”

My Thoughts on After Being Abducted by the General
"After Being Abducted by the General" certainly took me on a journey, and it's a novel that seems to elicit strong reactions from readers. This historical fantasy, with its blend of kingdom-building, romance, and political intrigue, had moments where I was completely captivated, and others where I felt a bit uneasy.
First Impressions
Initially, I was drawn in by the premise: a modern man transmigrating into ancient China and using his knowledge to improve the lives of the common people. The story starts strong, with the MC, Yuan Li, quickly proving his intelligence and resourcefulness. I was eager to see how he would navigate the complex world of warring states and aristocratic power struggles.
What Works Well
The world-building is definitely a highlight. The author goes beyond simple inventions and delves into the practical applications of Yuan Li's knowledge, covering everything from sanitation to irrigation. This level of detail made the setting feel incredibly immersive.
The romance between Yuan Li and the general, Chu Hechao, is a slow burn that many readers found particularly satisfying. Their relationship felt organic, with both characters growing and changing as they navigated their feelings for each other. The story avoids tired tropes like love triangles and instead focuses on the genuine connection between the two men. The side characters are also well-developed, each with their own distinct personalities and motivations. I found myself invested in their individual stories as well, which added another layer of depth to the overall narrative.
Areas of Concern
However, I can't ignore some of the more troubling aspects that have been raised. Some readers have pointed out instances of xenophobia and even genocide within the story, particularly in the later arcs. While the setting is undoubtedly turbulent and morally ambiguous, the MC's apparent lack of concern for the lives and cultures of certain ethnic groups felt jarring, especially given his supposed modern sensibilities. This is an area where the author could have explored the complexities of war and prejudice with more nuance and sensitivity.

Final Verdict
"After Being Abducted by the General" is a complex and often compelling novel that offers a unique blend of historical fantasy, kingdom-building, and romance. However, it's important to be aware of the potential pitfalls, particularly the instances of xenophobia and violence that may be triggering for some readers. While the story has many strengths, these issues prevent me from giving it an unqualified recommendation. It's a novel that requires careful consideration and a willingness to engage with its more problematic elements.
