Description
Xu Yangyi, an 18-year-old high school student, for the reason that his older twin sister eloped with her girlfriend on the wedding day, was forced to be the surrogate bride by his own father. As a result, he became the wife of the man who should have been his brother-in-law. “You’ve gotta look at me carefully. I’m a man.” Xu Yangyi glared at He Jingyan, who was still getting fresh with him though he already knew Xu Yangyi was indeed a man. “Man?” He Jingyan fiddled with Xu Yangyi’s face with his big hand and gave him a sly smile, “You look identical with your sister, so it doesn’t matter!”

My Thoughts on The Surrogate Bride of the Colonel He
First Impressions
Okay, so I dove into "The Surrogate Bride of the Colonel He" with a bit of trepidation, given the mixed buzz I'd heard. The premise – forced marriage, a military setting, and a dash of yandere – definitely piqued my interest, but I wasn't sure if it would deliver. The tags themselves—mpreg, older love interests, and straight uke—signaled a potentially wild ride, and I was strapped in, ready to see what happened.
What Works Well
Despite some of the criticisms, I can see why some readers are drawn to this story. There’s an undeniable allure to the “love-hate relationship” and “bickering couple” dynamic. I can also appreciate that the author attempts to weave in action, thrill, and even some comedic elements. A few readers highlighted the world-building, secrets, and mysteries as strong points, suggesting that the plot has layers that unfold as you progress. The promise of "power couple" pairings is also enticing.
Areas of Concern
However, I have to address the elephant in the room – or rather, the Colonel in the room. A recurring concern is the ML's behavior. Some readers found the ML's actions to be overly forceful and bordering on non-consensual, which understandably turned them off. The MC's limited agency and repetitive dialogue ("bastard," "let me go") were also mentioned as drawbacks. If the relationship dynamic leans too heavily into forced interactions without genuine development, it can become tiresome and even uncomfortable. Also, if the MC is supposed to be skilled, making him constantly need saving cheapens his character.

Final Verdict
"The Surrogate Bride of the Colonel He" seems to be a novel with a lot of potential, but it's not without its flaws. If you're a fan of intense, borderline-problematic relationships and can overlook some of the more questionable dynamics, you might find enjoyment in the unfolding mysteries and character development. However, if you're sensitive to issues of consent and prefer a more balanced power dynamic, this might not be the novel for you. Ultimately, it's a matter of personal preference and what you're willing to tolerate in your reading experience. I'd recommend proceeding with caution and being prepared for a potentially bumpy ride.
