The Scent Of Time

Description

Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.

A hardworking young woman from the modern era woke up and found she had transmigrated to the novel she had read all night. It was fine for her to transmigrate into the book, but why she had to become the vicious female supporting character? Her father was a traitor, her elder brother was a playboy, and she had already done all the bad things in her early years, so her road to saving her life was tough. The bossy male lead, the gentle second male lead, and the dashing third male lead were belong to the female lead, and they were unrelated to her.

As the story goes, she realized that the female lead could get everything with a smile and knitted brow, yet even with painstaking efforts, she couldn’t do it.

There was no heroine halo and golden finger. Watch her as a vicious female supporting character reversing a bunch of bad cards in her hand and changing people’s hearts step by step!

Just came after finishing the drama and I literally cried like a baby.

I have never seen a more perfect transmigration drama and I've seen a lot. It was SOO good. Specially the villains. Like every villain was three dimensional and the angst just always hits the sweet spot here. I have such high expectations for this novel because the drama adaptation was FIREEEEE. It was so good that I binged watched tons of episodes at a time.

Props to the translator because mtl is super super hard for ancient setting novels... more>> like these so it's great that it's being translated. Some central differences are present ig in the novel and drama adaptation as noticed from the summary but still I absolutely adored the hints sprinkled in ample amount throughout the story that makes us keep ourselves at the edge of our seats.

The plot twists in general are reasonable, well thought out but the best selling point of this plot is just how fleshed out every single character is. I'm usually not a big fan of side cps but the plot was so good it made me legit root for every side cp ever. Most of the side cps were adorable. <<less

I'm looking for the Web Novel, as I'm destroyed by the adaptation. I completed the Marathon in 2 days and cried like a baby. With swollen eyes I come after the novel.

4/4.5 stars, I am undecided.

What I have most appreciated about this novel is the sense of uncertainty it conveys, making you constantly wonder how the plot will develop and whether the MC will have a happy or bad ending.

The MC is a very well written character, the author makes you really believe that she comes from the modern world. She constantly has to come to terms with the very different values of ancient society where the lives of ordinary people had very little value. She often feels powerless, being a... more>> woman and coming from a family that will soon lose influence and torn between contrasting feelings. She abhors her fat, s*upid and lustful brother and, at the same time, she cares for him because he always cares for her. She dislikes her father because he is an official who rose to power leaving a trail of crimes but at the same time she doesn't have the heart to expose his crimes.

She tries her best to survive without giving up her values of justice and self respect.

The ending is very bittersweet, but realistic and unavoidable giving how events unfold.

Another point I want to mention is the lack of info dumps about the original story of the novel the MC transmigrated into, which is really rare. Apart from the initial explanation of the when/how/why of the world the MC has fallen into, the novel focuses on how the MC's personal choices and spontaneous interactions build up her life.

So, why not giving 5 stars? Because the novel is too short, it deserved more chapters to fully create a stronger, emotional journey. Almost all major characters, from the brother, the husband, the "rival" female lead, are introduced, have a couple of well written scenes but aren't developed enough. It's probably because the author chose to tell the story only from the MC's POV but this choice, in my personal taste, weakened the overall reading experience. <<less
