[A beautiful career-focused woman with unpredictable moods × the seemingly gentle, secretly scheming, manipulative childhood friend next door]
Ji Mianshu spent three years in a vegetative state.
More precisely, her body lay still for three years while her soul floated above it, watching an entire melodramatic novel unfold.
In the novel, her boyfriend Gu Shen was the devoted male lead. He found a stand-in heroine and spent his days doting on her to cope with missing Ji Mianshu.
In short, Ji Mianshu's only purpose was to spice up their romance, appearing now and then in the male lead's memories to irritate the pure-hearted heroine.
Meanwhile, her refined, gentle childhood friend Yi Huaian came to care for her every day while she was in a coma, wiping her hands. Yet in the novel, he was the great villain.
Then Ji Mianshu woke up. She broke up with her boyfriend, who refused to leave her alone. He tried to win back her affection while still refusing to give up his attentive protection of the original heroine.
The pure-hearted heroine came to her door, putting on a show of bravado. Ji Mianshu smiled and poured her a cup of tea. “There are plenty of good men out there. Why tie yourself to a jerk?”
The villain didn't ask a thing. He simply kept appearing around her every day like an NPC on a fixed respawn timer, bringing her the thoughtful surprises she loved.
Ji Mianshu: “Yi Huaian, want to date?”
Yi Huaian: “It would be my honor.”
