Transmigrated Into a Deeply Affectionate Male Supporting Role in a Period Novel

Zhao Lihui finished reading a novel the night before and was hit by a drunk driver when he went out the next day. Zhao Lihui opened his eyes in shock and found himself in the period novel that he had cursed. The original owner had the same name as him and was the affectionate second male lead in the book. He was also rated by Zhao Lihui as the biggest victim in the book. Before the male protagonist appeared, the original owner was a big bootlicker around the female protagonist. The female protagonist and her family would think of him whenever they encountered any problems. After the male protagonist appeared, the original owner became the biggest enemy of the male and female protagonists. The female protagonist and her family, the male protagonist and his family, and the female protagonist and the male protagonist alone, never took the original owner to play with them when encountering good things, and the first person they thought of when they encountered trouble was the original owner. Zhao Lihui often gave negative points after seeing the original owner being implicated, cursed the author’s ancestors, and attacked all readers who defended the male and female protagonists, inflicting 100% real damage. And now he has become the big victim. The first thing Zhao Lihui did was to beg his mother to ask a matchmaker to go to House No. 8 in the alley in front and propose to the girl in his family who had a red birthmark on her face. After reading the whole article, that was the cannon fodder girl that Zhao Lihui felt the most sorry for and liked the most. The wife he dreamed of marrying was right in front of him, so how could he just sit there? No!  I want to marry her! Who in Shuijing Lane doesn’t know that the third son of the Zhao family likes to follow Sun Baozhu the most? Though the Sun family always said that they were just ordinary friends, no one believed it until Zhao Laosan suddenly got engaged to the ugly girl from Tongxin Lane in front. Neighbors: ??? Sun Jia and Sun Baozhu:!!! Zhao Lihui, who is getting ready to get married: Hehehe, wife, hehehe…

## My Thoughts on Transmigrated Into a Deeply Affectionate Male Supporting Role in a Period Novel This novel had me hooked from the premise: a transmigrator, a historical setting, and a focus on a male supporting character. The fact that it *wasn't* BL was a refreshing change of pace, and I dove in eager to see how the author would handle the tropes. Overall, it was an enjoyable read, though it definitely had some aspects that made me pause and reconsider my initial enthusiasm. ### First Impressions Initially, I was really drawn to the protagonist. He's smart, capable, and quickly establishes a loving relationship with his chosen partner. The early romance is sweet, and the slice-of-life elements are genuinely heartwarming. Watching him navigate his new family and career was a pleasant experience. ### What Works Well The strength of this novel lies in its focus on familial love and the protagonist's dedication to building a good life for himself and his loved ones. The author paints a vivid picture of their daily lives and the challenges they overcome together. I found myself invested in their well-being and rooting for their success. The slice-of-life aspect is handled well, creating a comforting and engaging read. Many readers praised the male lead's hard work and efforts to avoid the tragic fates of those around him in the original story. ### Areas of Concern My biggest issue, and it seems I'm not alone here, revolves around the protagonist's treatment of the original male lead. While I understand his initial dislike based on his knowledge of the original novel's plot, his actions often felt petty and excessive. It sometimes felt like the protagonist went out of his way to make the original male lead's life difficult, even when the latter hadn't actually done anything wrong. This aspect of the story became increasingly uncomfortable as I continued reading, and it did detract from my overall enjoyment. The protagonist's constant comparisons and subtle put-downs felt unnecessary and, at times, mean-spirited. ### ⚠️ Spoiler Warning Some readers have pointed out specific instances where the original male lead's life is negatively impacted by the protagonist's actions, even to the point of meddling with his career and family. Others argue that the original male lead had a "protagonist halo" and was secretly scheming, justifying the protagonist's caution. ### Final Verdict "Transmigrated Into a Deeply Affectionate Male Supporting Role in a Period Novel" offers a heartwarming slice-of-life story with a focus on family and personal growth. However, the protagonist's negative interactions with the original male lead are a significant drawback. If you can look past that aspect, you'll find an engaging and ultimately satisfying read. I am giving it a solid 3.5 out of 5 stars.
