After years of working without getting anywhere, Chen Luo stayed up late reading a melodramatic urban novel. He scoffed at the foolish plot in which the villain, who shared his name, pursued the heroine Xia Qingyue and ended up losing his family and fortune. Just after he finished complaining, the world spun around him, and he transmigrated into the book as the unlucky rich heir.
Faced with the contempt in Xia Qingyue’s eyes, Chen Luo turned around without hesitation and took the hand of Lin Yun, the wicked supporting female character. A daughter of the wealthy Lin family, Lin Yun was haughty and domineering, a notorious villainess in the book. She usually threw her weight around, but with Chen Luo, she gradually revealed another side of herself.
He thought that getting on the villainess’s good side would make life more peaceful, but trouble came one thing after another. The male lead, Ye Feng, had a mysterious System and was thriving in both business and romance. Resentful that Chen Luo had stolen “his woman,” he repeatedly schemed to frame him. Meanwhile, the heroine Xia Qingyue, upset that Chen Luo was no longer chasing after her, joined forces with others to try to ruin his relationship with Lin Yun.
Fortunately, though Lin Yun was a villainess, she was loyal and deeply devoted. She used her family’s power to help Chen Luo out of one crisis after another. As they spent time together, Chen Luo realized that Lin Yun wasn’t nearly as wicked as the book had described. Her haughtiness was only a facade. Deep down, she was kind and innocent. And Chen Luo’s thoughtfulness and sincerity slowly melted her icy heart.
See how Chen Luo uses his modern perspective and ingenuity to cling to the villainess’s coattails in this trope-filled novel world, face-slapping the male and female leads at every turn, mastering the business world, finding love, and making it to the top.
