Description
A 28 year old single dog, Jiang Ziquan, ran a hot pot restaurant for a living and designed houses for a hobby. However, as the proverb says, when one is fed and warm, one’s s*xual desire ******. The worrywart Jiang Ziquan’s only wish for her 28th birthday is a shy and coy lover. The heavens seemed to have heard her wish and treated her well, for she only had to pass through the Bureau of Civil Affairs and brought back a fair-skinned, beautiful wife. Sure enough, only the state can provide such beautiful ladies! Similarly, the 28 year old Shen Yumo suddenly found out on her wedding day that her fiance had a three year old child! She originally wanted to avoid the whole fiasco and walk away, but ended up getting tricked by Jiang Ziquan into signing a marriage certificate. “I heard your wife was given to you by the Civil Affairs Bureau? How did this happen?” Jiang Ziquan lifted her eyes, held up that shiny red book and replied, “It must be because of my good deeds and virtuous daily life that the state gave me one! Therefore you regular mortals,” she shrugs her shoulders, “I reckon will never receive one!” Everyone: “Isn’t it just some good deeds?! We can do the same by donating some money! Hmph!” A “love after the marriage” type of story featuring two women.

My Thoughts on Received a Wife From the Civil Affairs Bureau
"Received a Wife From the Civil Affairs Bureau" promised a fluffy yuri romance, and for the most part, it delivered. However, my experience was definitely a mixed bag, and I can see why readers have such varied opinions on it.
First Impressions
The premise is undeniably quirky. A chance encounter at the Civil Affairs Bureau leads to a marriage of convenience, and our main character, Jiang Ziquan, is instantly smitten with the seemingly cold Shen Yumo. The initial chapters are fast-paced, and I was immediately thrown into Ziquan's pursuit of her new wife. I could see why some readers found the beginning a bit too illogical, especially the rapid acceptance of the marriage by almost everyone involved.
What Works Well
The heart of this novel is the slow-burn romance between Ziquan and Yumo. Many readers praised the gradual development of their relationship, and I agree that it's one of the strongest aspects of the story. Ziquan's earnestness and devotion are endearing, and watching Yumo slowly open up to her is genuinely heartwarming. I also appreciated the lighthearted tone and the lack of heavy-handed homophobia, which made for a refreshing read. The side characters, especially Ziquan's siblings, added a lot of humor and charm to the story.
Areas of Concern
While I enjoyed the fluff, I can't ignore the concerns raised by some reviewers regarding consent. There are moments where Ziquan pushes Yumo's boundaries, and it's understandable why some readers felt uncomfortable with these interactions. I also found the introduction of the younger in-law somewhat disruptive, as he seemed to exist solely to create unnecessary conflict. Finally, the pacing felt uneven at times, with certain plot points, like the supernatural element, being introduced rather abruptly late in the story.

Final Verdict
"Received a Wife From the Civil Affairs Bureau" is a flawed but ultimately enjoyable yuri romance. If you're looking for a fluffy, lighthearted read with a devoted love interest and don't mind some questionable consent issues and an illogical plot, you might find it to be a delightful escape. However, if you're sensitive to boundary-pushing or prefer a more realistic and well-developed plot, this might not be the novel for you. I'd give it a cautious recommendation, advising readers to be aware of the potential triggers and to approach it with a grain of salt.
