Description
Xia Wan transmigrated into a novel and became the unfortunate cannon-fodder character who was cheated on by the s*umbag protagonist. When he transmigrated, he found himself at the s*umbag protagonist’s engagement banquet and surrounded by people mocking and humiliating him. Desperate, he instinctively grabbed the most powerful and intimidating man in the room and quietly asked for help. As the room fell into shocked silence, the man, who was so incredibly handsome that he almost didn’t seem real, slightly narrowed his bright, starry eyes. A small smile played on his lips as he effortlessly pulled Xia Wan into his arms. Later, Xia Wan learned that the handsome man who had held him so tightly was none other than Huo Yu—the s*umbag protagonist’s older brother and the novel’s biggest villain. To survive, Xia Wan nervously signed a marriage contract with Huo Yu. In front of the people, he would smile sweetly, kiss Huo Yu’s cheek, and lavish him with praise: “My husband loves me the most!” “My husband is so amazing!” “I love my husband very much!!!” However, behind the closed doors, Xia Wan would quietly slander his new husband. Damn, that clean freak, he wouldn’t even let him give a proper kiss. No wonder he’s the heir of a wealthy family—so cold and ruthless. ….. Huo Yu has a cold personality. He always acts ruthlessly and will do anything to achieve his goals. But ever since that engagement party, the moment when a breathtakingly beautiful young man had clung to him for help, something had changed. At first, Huo Yu went along with it purely out of formality: “Wanwan is kind and innocent. What bad intentions could he possibly have?” “Wanwan is my little angel. Everything he says is right.” “Wanwan is my beloved. Who dares to touch him?” But somewhere along the way, those words stopped being just formalities. Now Huo Yu protected Xia Wan so fiercely, that if anyone who dared to lay a finger on him would have to pay with their life. — Paranoid black belly, beauty and strong attack X squeamish, cute, prosperous beauty

My Thoughts on After Marrying the Villain, I Became Popular
"After Marrying the Villain, I Became Popular" promised a fluffy, comedic romance, and while it delivered on some of that, I found myself ultimately conflicted. It's a story with a lot of potential that, in my opinion, stumbles over some significant plot points.
First Impressions
Initially, I was drawn in by the transmigration trope and the promise of a doting male lead. The early chapters were lighthearted and fun, with the MC, Xia Wan, adapting quickly to his new life and showcasing his artistic talents. I enjoyed the dynamic between Xia Wan and Huo Yu, the "villain" of the title, and found their interactions charming.
What Works Well
The core relationship between Xia Wan and Huo Yu is definitely a highlight. I appreciated the lack of major misunderstandings and the healthy communication between them. The familial love, particularly Huo Yu's backstory and his eventual warmth towards Xia Wan, added a touching layer to the story. I also found the showbiz elements and family business aspects engaging, even if somewhat cliché. The author does a decent job of creating a world where the MC can use his talents, like painting and jewelry design, although I felt these elements were sometimes underutilized.
Areas of Concern
⚠️ Spoiler Warning ⚠️
My biggest issue, and I noticed several other readers shared this sentiment, revolves around the handling of Xia Wan's kidnapping. The fact that his adoptive father, XCZ, essentially gets away with abducting him as a child, despite the suffering it caused the original Xia Wan and his biological family, left a bad taste in my mouth. The attempts to justify XCZ's actions felt unconvincing, and the MC's easy forgiveness seemed unrealistic and even selfish. I found it difficult to reconcile the romanticized portrayal of the adoptive father with the severity of his crime. This single plot point significantly detracted from my overall enjoyment of the novel. It felt like the author brushed aside the trauma inflicted on the original Xia Wan, prioritizing a "happy ending" at the expense of character consistency and emotional depth.
Final Verdict
Overall, "After Marrying the Villain, I Became Popular" is a mixed bag. While the romance and comedic elements are enjoyable, the problematic handling of the kidnapping subplot casts a shadow over the entire story. If you can overlook this significant flaw, you might find it a pleasant, albeit forgettable, read. However, for me, it ultimately falls short of its potential, earning a 3 out of 5 stars.
