Qi Yuan was reborn.
In her previous life, under the influence of the plot, she was infatuated with Gu Jingyi, the male lead of the original novel. She debased herself trying to win him over and came up with every possible way to torment the heroine.
In the end, her actions caused her mother's death in a car crash. She herself was locked in a basement, where she was tortured to death as she listened to the festivities coming from the floor above.
Reborn, Qi Yuan came to her senses. Rather than fawning over someone only to end up with nothing, she would take hold of the ultimate villain and tear through this absurd melodrama.
So she casually tossed aside the little cake in her hand, turned decisively, and found Fu Jinyan, the villain who was still hauling bricks at a construction site. She pinned him against a concrete wall and lifted his chin.
"Come with me."
She hadn't expected that, at this point, the villain would be so pure-hearted and proud, refusing her to the death.
"In your dreams!"
Qi Yuan stared at the tips of his reddening ears. He was simply too delicious to resist, so she kissed him without another word.
"Now that you've kissed me, you have to take responsibility for me."
She didn't notice Fu Jinyan's eyes flicker faintly.
Later, after Qi Yuan had finally avenged herself, she watched Fu Jinyan grow more and more twisted and unhinged, and decided it was best to run away.
Just as her hand was about to reach the bedroom doorknob, he grabbed her firmly around the waist.
"Yuanyuan, I hold the strings. You can't get away."
