Description
In the 1970s after an unexpected event shakes the Meng family, Meng Yinyin is forced to move to the countryside. Having been pampered since childhood, she tries to adapt to the heavy rural labor. But as she stares at her blistered hands and slightly tanned skin, she comes to a painful realization: she really can’t handle this hardship (╥﹏╥). Left with no choice, she follows her parents’ last advice—if she can’t bear it anymore, find a good man to marry! After careful consideration, Meng Yinyin sets her sights on Lu Chen, a strong, healthy, and handsome man who’s orphaned and owns both land and property. Though he’s a bit cold, everything else about him is perfect, and most importantly, being with him means she’ll get to eat well! Just as things seem to be going her way, Meng Yinyin realizes that her life is actually unfolding within a novel. Lu Chen is the book’s main villain, who turns dark after being unable to win the female lead’s love and relentlessly torments her. The good news: she’s not the female lead. She’s merely a supporting character meant to highlight the female lead’s virtues. The bad news: Lu Chen is right outside her door, bringing her the meat she’s been craving for ages. When no response comes from inside the house, the man hesitates before gently asking, “Don’t feel like eating meat today? Should I catch some fish for you in the river instead?” Inside, Meng Yinyin bites her blanket, torn with frustration: should she open the door or not? * Lu Chen — In The Little Days of the 1970s, he’s the most popular male supporting character. Handsome and capable, he’s forever indebted to the female lead for a favor she did him in his youth. But since she marries someone else, he lives his life alone and dies in solitude. Lin Xiuzi, a woman from the 21st century, transmigrates into the book as the original female lead. Seeing the shabby in-laws, the filthy, unruly child, and her bedridden husband injured on duty, she swiftly files for divorce and decides to pursue Lu Chen, who has always been devoted to the female lead. As long as she marries Lu Chen now, she’ll enjoy his unwavering affection and one day become the wife of the richest man, basking in endless wealth and glory! Leaving behind her wailing child and her husband’s desperate pleas, she rushes to Lu Chen’s house—only to find him holding a pretty girl’s hand, anxiously asking, “Did you talk to uncle and aunt about our wedding plans?” Lin Xiuzi is stunned: wasn’t Lu Chen supposed to remain single out of love for the female lead? What is happening now? And the girl he’s marrying is none other than the supporting character who admired the male lead’s talent and constantly competed with the female lead! In response, Meng Yinyin shrugs: “Whoever wants to be a ‘control group’ can go right ahead. Being a cherished little darling is much sweeter, isn’t it?”

My Thoughts on The Beautiful Female Supporting Character in the Period Novel
This novel was quite the ride! "The Beautiful Female Supporting Character in the Period Novel" definitely delivers on its promise of comedy and romance, but it also has some quirks that might not appeal to everyone. I found myself chuckling at the female lead's antics, but also occasionally scratching my head at her... unique decision-making process.
First Impressions
The synopsis definitely threw me for a loop. It's one of those stories where the summary barely scratches the surface of what's actually going on. We have a female lead who's convinced she's targeting the male lead for his resources, but it's clear to everyone (except her, bless her heart) that she's already head-over-heels. It's a fun, if slightly frustrating, starting point.
What Works Well
The comedy is definitely a strong point. The humor stems from the FL's inner thoughts and the often-absurd conclusions she jumps to. The male lead is also a highlight. He's portrayed as a bit of a lone wolf, but also incredibly gentle and loyal, which creates a sweet and endearing dynamic with the FL. I particularly enjoyed the slow-burn romance and the development of their relationship, even if it felt a little one-sided at times. The plot twist involving the original female lead and male lead was also a welcome surprise, adding an extra layer of intrigue to the story.
Areas of Concern
While I enjoyed the FL's "shamelessness," as some might call it, there were moments where it felt a bit much. Her reliance on the ML for everything, especially in the early chapters, bordered on making him feel more like a servant than a partner. I also felt a slight disconnect with the FL's character at times. Some of her actions seemed to contradict the personality she was supposed to have, which made her feel a little inconsistent.

Final Verdict
Overall, "The Beautiful Female Supporting Character in the Period Novel" is an enjoyable read, especially if you're a fan of comedy, romance, and a healthy dose of misunderstandings. While the FL can be a bit much at times, and the plot has a few inconsistencies, the sweet romance and intriguing plot twists kept me hooked until the end. I'd give it a solid 4 out of 5 stars. It's not perfect, but it's definitely a fun and engaging story.
