Description
When Su Yaya awakened, she found herself in a novel world as the CEO’s Substitute Wife–-a mere cannon fodder. Knowing that divorce and a tragic ending was awaiting her once her look-alike, the President’s first love returns, Su Yaya only trusted one thing: Money. She curried favor with her husband each day, saved up resources, and served him as a faithful wife. It was better to leave a good impression on him before separation so she could avoid her death flags. The overbearing President was very satisfied with her and personally gave her his platinum card: “Take it and buy anything you’d like!” Su Yaya happily accepted. Of course, she would take advantage of his pampering before the female protagonist appears! As the CEO unexpectedly falls deeper despite this transactional relationship, he never imagined that his wife would one day disappear from his side

My Thoughts on The Male Lead’s Substitute Wife
"The Male Lead’s Substitute Wife" promised a fluffy romance with a twist, and while it delivered on some fronts, it also stumbled in others. Overall, I found it to be a mixed bag, and my final rating reflects that.
First Impressions
The premise immediately grabbed my attention: a woman transmigrates into a novel as the male lead's contracted wife. It's a classic setup ripe with potential for humor and heartwarming moments as the female lead tries to navigate her new reality. The early chapters were engaging enough, setting the stage for a potentially fun ride.
What Works Well
I appreciated the initial dynamic between Su Yaya and CEO Shen. The story shines when it focuses on their interactions and the development of their relationship, however transactional it may be at first. I found myself enjoying the "dog food" moments, where the male lead dotes on the female lead. The female lead is very likeable and the male lead's development is engaging.
Areas of Concern
However, the novel isn't without its flaws. I found the female lead's reliance on her beauty to be somewhat tiresome. I noticed a lot of focus on her looks, which started to feel repetitive and undermined her other potential qualities. The plot, at times, felt meandering, with filler content that didn't contribute to character development or conflict resolution. I also felt the plot was rushed towards the end.

Final Verdict
"The Male Lead’s Substitute Wife" had the potential to be a truly enjoyable read, but it ultimately falls short due to its problematic elements, shallow character development, and pacing issues. While there are moments of sweetness and humor, they are overshadowed by the novel's shortcomings. I'd recommend approaching this one with caution.
