The Jerk Begs for Mercy, but I Insist on Playing the Villainess

(Devotion to one another + healing + doting on the husband + strong heroine + the male lead starts out disadvantaged but gradually grows stronger.) Qiu Qi spends her entire fortune on her fiancé, Yan Jinshang, and agrees to everything he asks. In return, at her birthday party, he takes his first love by the hand in front of everyone and tells Qiu Qi to stop chasing him in vain. A nightmare finally brings her to her senses. In the dream, she becomes the villainess, a mere foil for Yan Jinshang and Zhou Qinghuan. Even the business empire she worked so hard to build ultimately falls into Yan Jinshang’s hands. She has to break off the engagement. She slaps Yan Jinshang in front of everyone, exposes the first love’s dirty tricks, then takes the hand of Huo Xichen, the least favored illegitimate son of the Huo family, and sweeps into the ballroom as the crowd looks on in shock. Yan Jinshang thinks she’s jealous. Zhou Qinghuan thinks she’s making a desperate last stand. But Qiu Qi just smiles. “Don’t get the wrong idea. I’ve simply traded up for a smarter man.” Later, Huo Xichen becomes the youngest tech billionaire in the world. Yan Jinshang kneels before her, begging her to come back. Leaning against Huo Xichen, Qiu Qi doesn’t even lift an eyelid. “Young Master Yan, don’t let us keep you.”
