Awakening in the 1980s, I Fall for the Scheming Villain

[Period setting + sweet romance + family life + male lead has been plotting for a long time]

The moment she opens her eyes, Wen Yao finds herself as the spoiled female supporting character in a period novel. The original owner turned her back on her family for a scumbag and met a tragic end.

Meanwhile, the original heroine, reborn, is sharpening her knives and waiting for her.

Wen Yao sneers. “Whoever wants to be lovesick can take the job! I’m focusing on my career and watching the scumbag and his mistress reap what they sow.”

Just as her career starts to take off, a secret about her birth comes to light: she isn’t her parents’ biological daughter, and her late parents left her a huge inheritance!

Qi Zheng, the obsessive antagonist who was so detached and desireless in the original story, is looking at her more and more strangely.

When she finally works up the courage to confess, a flicker of panic crosses his eyes, but he turns away. “I’m sorry. I just...”

Wen Yao’s heart sinks. She looks up and finishes his sentence with bitter amusement. “You just think of me as a little sister, right?”

The light in her eyes slowly goes out, and she turns and runs. Qi Zheng is rooted to the spot, with no right to stop her.

Later, the man who pushed her away with his own hands corners her in a corridor in full view of everyone while she is happily chatting with someone else. His voice is hoarse and broken. “You can call me big brother, but don’t smile at him like that.”

In the story’s setting, Wen Yao and the original owner are the same person. The memories Wen Yao has from childhood are her own real experiences. After living a modern life, her soul returned to her body in the 1980s. In the meantime, someone else had taken over her body, but that person disappeared when she came back.
