Description

Qin Juran transmigrated into an old-fashioned university campus romance novel. The original protagonist was the textbook “delicate, tragic white lotus”: pretentious, tearful drama queen, exuding allure yet utterly blind. After being bullied in turns by cannon fodder, female antagonists, and the male lead, she ends up happily ever after with the guy who only knows how to “glare coldly” throughout the entire book. What the hell. Upon waking, Qin Juran finds herself standing on a lecture hall podium. Beside her is a stunning girl in a black dress and smoky makeup, holding a letter: “Qin Juran, you claim not to like Fan Chuan, yet this love letter says otherwise?” Under the crowd’s gaze, Qin Juran smirks, snatches the letter, tears it in half, steps forward to pin the girl against the wall, and lifts her chin with a finger: “Jealous, are we?” Ruan Nan: ??? Entire Class: ??? Ruan Nan: “Qin Juran, I don’t actually like Fan Chuan. I just enjoy stealing what’s yours.” Qin Juran: “Funny. I don’t like Fan Chuan either. But I do want to steal you.” “My name is Qin Juran—’Ju’ as in scheming intentions. My name is Ruan Nan—’Nan’ as in this is too damn hard.” — When reading the original novel, Qin Juran had loathed the white lotus protagonist sharing her name, but was utterly captivated by the bold, ruthless, and fiercely charismatic “black lotus” second female lead. She’d always dreamed of the day when… “Ruan Nan, do you know what the day finally comes means?”

My Thoughts on Running Away Hand in Hand with the Second Female Lead

This novel completely charmed me! "Running Away Hand in Hand with the Second Female Lead" offers a delightful blend of comedy, fantasy, romance, and a dash of school life, making it a truly engaging read. I found myself quickly invested in the characters and their journey.

First Impressions

Right from the start, I was hooked by the premise. The transmigration aspect is well-executed, and the dynamic between the main characters, Qin Juran and Ruan Nan, is captivating. It's a story that pulls you in with its sweetness and keeps you there with its well-developed characters. I immediately understood why so many readers fell in love.

What Works Well

The chemistry between Qin Juran and Ruan Nan is definitely a highlight. Qin Juran's smooth and cunning personality perfectly complements Ruan Nan's initially cold and arrogant demeanor, which hides a kind and gentle soul. Their interactions are both hilarious and heartwarming, and I especially enjoyed watching their relationship develop from initial distrust to deep love and understanding.

The plot, while relatively straightforward, is well-paced and avoids unnecessary drama. The misunderstandings that arise are resolved quickly, allowing the characters to grow and their relationship to deepen naturally. I also appreciated the strong-willed nature of both MC and FL. They face challenges head-on and work hard to achieve their goals. This is a refreshing change from some of the more passive protagonists I've encountered. The family conflicts and the struggles they face in building their careers added a layer of depth to the story, making it more relatable and engaging.

Areas of Concern

While I thoroughly enjoyed the novel, I can see how some might find the ending a bit abrupt. There were a few plot threads, such as the original male lead's future and the full resolution of the FL's family issues, that felt somewhat unresolved. Also, the writing style might not be for everyone, with some finding the scene transitions a little too quick and lacking in buildup.
