Description
Yuan Xueyue, the overlooked illegitimate daughter of a Prefect, was bartered into marriage with Guo Liangxian, a rising soldier she barely knew. Her father, eager to gain favor, used her as a stepping stone, introducing the ambitious young man to Prince Xian. Five years later, Guo Liangxian returned a decorated General, his name echoing with newfound glory – and with a mistress on his arm. Reborn into that fateful moment, Yuan Xueyue refuses to repeat her past. She remembers all too well the years of silent suffering, the constant neglect, and the final, agonizing year spent bedridden, ignored by her husband and scorned by his family. She remembers dying a broken woman, a victim of their ambition and indifference. She will no longer be the dutiful wife, silently enduring humiliation and raising a disloyal nephew while her husband flaunts his affections for another. Let the General have his victory, his honor, and his concubine! She will arrange a lavish ceremony, a final act of defiance before severing ties with the treacherous Guo family. This time, she will not interfere with her adopted nephew’s wild spirit, nor will she waste her energy battling the favored concubine. Let them have their chaos. She, the House Master, is quitting! She’ll embrace a life free from their drama, quietly filing for divorce and leaving the General’s Residence to crumble under its own weight. But fate, it seems, has other plans. As Yuan Xueyue orchestrates her escape, the General, finally realizing the value of what he’s lost, embarks on a desperate pursuit, only to find the door to her heart firmly closed. And Prince Xian, observing the unfolding drama with keen interest, whispers, “Luckily, you let go, or this Prince would never have found such a wonderful wife.” This time, Yuan Xueyue will write her own destiny, far from the gilded cage of the General’s Residence and into the arms of a man who truly sees her worth.

Favoring Concubines and Neglecting the Wife? The General’s Wife Calls it Quits and Divorces! Review & Spoilers - Novel Translator
My Thoughts on Favoring Concubines and Neglecting the Wife? The General’s Wife Calls it Quits and Divorces!
"Favoring Concubines and Neglecting the Wife? The General’s Wife Calls it Quits and Divorces!" had a title that screamed drama and potential for a satisfying 'woman scorned' story. While the premise of a neglected wife finally taking charge of her life is appealing, my experience reading this novel was... bumpy, to say the least.
First Impressions
I dove in expecting a tale of cunning revenge and character growth, but I quickly found myself questioning the logic behind many character actions. The initial setup was intriguing, but the execution left me wanting more.
What Works Well
Honestly, the initial concept is probably the strongest point. The idea of a wife, tired of being sidelined for concubines, deciding to divorce her general husband has a lot of potential. It promises a journey of self-discovery and empowerment, which is something I always appreciate in a novel. I also think the drama, when executed well, can be entertaining.
Areas of Concern
Sadly, the execution seems to be where this novel stumbles. I found myself increasingly frustrated by the characters' decisions. The husband, in particular, seems to lack any critical thinking skills. The constant drama surrounding the concubines and their machinations became repetitive and, frankly, annoying. The plot felt convoluted, and at times, I struggled to understand the motivations behind certain events. The writing style also felt unpolished, making it difficult to fully immerse myself in the story. I found myself questioning the logic of certain plot points and character motivations.

Final Verdict
Ultimately, while "Favoring Concubines and Neglecting the Wife? The General’s Wife Calls it Quits and Divorces!" had the seeds of a compelling story, the execution fell short of my expectations. The illogical character decisions, repetitive drama, and questionable plot points made it a difficult read. I can't wholeheartedly recommend this novel, though I do appreciate the potential that the initial concept held. If you're looking for a well-developed and logically consistent historical drama, you might want to explore other options.
