Recently finished reading the Vietnamese version of this book (Đông Phong Ác by Nhất Độ Quân Hoa) and quite liked it.

The male lead is of high-born status. As a man of power and military blood, he is rough, arrogant, self-indulgent and low on EQ, but it fits his image of a competent general on wild, agressive and fatal battlefields.

For the most part of my book-shelving and book-selecting process, I am often put off by such description of a male lead, because I prefer the trope of sharp-witted, manipulated and cruel-when-needed leads who usually plot for big things, not this type of a low EQ "machete". However, I had been recommended, with mixed reviews, that it should be a short fun read, so I picked it up and was thoroughly entertained.

His arrogance is just part of his lineage and upbringing, which, granted, gives him the ultimate superiority to his subordinates and "peasants".

I have no complaints regarding the female lead, because she acts logically for a village commoner forced in agonizing situations. I truly appreciate the authenticity of powerless individuals caught in the "tornadoes" of anarchy shifts.

Did not like Phế Hậu Tướng Quân by the same author so did not expect to laugh as much while reading Đông Phong Ác.

The absurdity of his bluntness, tho.

Just. Hilarious.

A refreshing take on the author's side.

<東風惡> by 一度君華
郭香香在家鄉有豆腐西施之美譽, 但自知身為尋常百姓, 在尊貴的五皇子面前地位卑微, 加上王爺有個白月光寵妾在前, 香香很清醒務實地沒有讓自己陷進去…而事實上王爺初期對她亦不算體貼(更多的是 verbal abuse). 她一早認命: 不討厭、只是迎合、不是愛; "他不需要自己的感情, 於是她便好好收著"; 又, 只想: "安穩地撫養女兒到底"。我是讀者, 卻為温柔但強韌的香香感到委屈!
巽王慕容厲(不辜負這個大名!)--狂妄毒辣驕橫野蠻脾氣暴躁戰功赫赫雷厲風行鐵血煞星…一句話: 縱使他不是"壞人", 至少對於香香, 算不上"良人"。一場剿匪任務, 間接救了香香亦隨意收了她。看他一路學習如何去"愛", 真是對耐性的挑戰!
這故事充斥着很多"有性格"的角色: 小王妃薜錦屏、燕王慕容宣、白月光藍釉…
再有就是對比: 康王慕容博(庶長子) vs 太子慕容慎(嫡次子)就是衝突來源; 于慶這竹馬是個惡劣小人, 相反馬敬山卻是真君子。
當然還有慕容厲的三位心腹大將韓續、嚴青和周卓。尤其韓續, 跟香香的曖昧繾綣, 十分搶戲; 又因沒能開花結果(當然!), 令人心有戚戚然。後來被撮合西靖玉柔公主, 算是個安慰罷。
不過帶給香香最多痛苦嘅一定是慕容厲! 他多次棄她不顧--雖然總有 justifications--實在令人心寒。但他是男主呀, 自然得到作者的眷顧(給他加分的機會); 而亮點絕對是男主的 soliloquy or inner monologue!
書名出自陸游的《釵頭鳳》, 略略看過它的出處, 但恕我文學根底淺薄, 未能領略這個"東風"究竟"惡"在強悍的慕容厲還是那個對女子不公的世道?
4.25⭐(扣分的原因在那莽撞男主!)

2.5-3
有一段感情描写很好，作者有能写好书的文笔，
但这故事设计的不好。

Enjoyable light read.
故事曲折得很简单，语言轻巧但古典范十足，真情与幽默混杂入口，是个适合读来打发时间的好故事。
