After Transmigrating as a Substitute She Still Has to Become an Ancestor
By 莫以阿
Description
On a rainy day, Chi You got a message that her lover would be late. Looking outside, she thought for a bit and then called to check if she should pick him up. But no one answered the phone for a while. She bit her lip, took an umbrella, and went out. The rain and wind messed up Chi You’s hair. At the company, they said her partner was at a banquet. Stuck in a tough spot, Chi You met her partner’s friend. The friend took her to the banquet. There, she saw her partner looking at another woman. Her partner was focused on a lady in a white dress, graceful and smiling like an untouchable swan. Meanwhile, Chi You’s hair was wet, and she felt like a drenched ugly duckling. With a pale face, she left without saying anything. —— Chi You woke up in a novel. The main character had a hard life, used as a replacement for the guy’s unrequited love. When the crush came back and the guy easily left her, Chi You realized she was just a substitute. Yawning, she complained about the overly dramatic story. Packing up, she planned to go back to her usual life and unexpectedly met the guy from the story. He was well-dressed and had a serious face. He glanced at her through the glass door, but she didn’t mind. Following the story, she pushed the door open. For the first time in over twenty years, the guy did something unusual by keeping the girl he’d seen once at the company. The little substitute was attractive, and every smile stole his attention. But as he realized he might be spoiling her too much, she started frowning at him, saying he dirtied her expensive dress that needed hand-washing. Gu Jingxu returned home, not even getting a kiss, and crouched in the bathroom to wash the substitute’s dress. As he looked at his somewhat disheveled reflection in the mirror, before he could formulate any thoughts, the girl in the bedroom called out for juice. He immediately wiped his foam-covered hands on his five-figure suit and went out to pour juice for her. At the banquet, when he saw the person from his childhood memories, Gu Jingxu was cold and distant, politely rejecting the person’s business proposal. Unable to wait until the end of the banquet, he hurried home to embrace the little substitute. But the phone number he remembered didn’t work.

My Thoughts on After Transmigrating as a Substitute She Still Has to Become an Ancestor
"After Transmigrating as a Substitute She Still Has to Become an Ancestor" is a light and fluffy read that piqued my interest with its intriguing title. While it has its charms, it also has some aspects that might not appeal to every reader.
First Impressions
The premise is definitely eye-catching. A modern-day transmigration story where the female lead essentially becomes an "ancestor" figure being doted upon? I was immediately curious. The initial setup promises a sweet and perhaps comedic dynamic between the leads.
What Works Well
The male lead's doting nature is a significant draw. He's undeniably devoted to the female lead, which provides a comforting and predictable dynamic. Many will appreciate the simple and quick pace of the story, making it easy to pick up and put down. The translation is also quite readable, even with MTL elements, which is always a plus. It's a low-stakes, easy-to-consume romance that might be perfect for readers looking for something undemanding.
Areas of Concern
One recurring point that stood out to me is the perceived imbalance in the romance. The female lead's feelings towards the male lead can feel somewhat muted. While the author might state she likes him, her actions don't always convey that clearly. This can lead to a feeling of one-sidedness, especially in the beginning. The male lead, despite his success, comes across as rather clueless when it comes to courtship. His attempts to win her over, such as the contract idea, can seem misguided and even a bit foolish. Ultimately, the writing style is described as bland, which might make it difficult for some readers to fully immerse themselves in the story.
Final Verdict
"After Transmigrating as a Substitute She Still Has to Become an Ancestor" is a novel with a clear target audience. If you're looking for a simple, quick romance with a doting male lead and don't mind a potentially one-sided dynamic, this might be worth a try. However, if you prefer more depth, nuanced characters, and a balanced romance, you might find this story lacking. It's a cute, fluffy read, but perhaps not one that will leave a lasting impression.
