After Marrying the Cold and Aloof Villain

Bright and resilient x cool and devoted

After Ji Yangyang died, she discovered that the world she had lived in was a female-led progression novel. The protagonist was the superstar Meng Ying, and Ji Yangyang was nothing but her devoted simp.

Always at her beck and call, running errands for Meng Ying for free, giving her money when she needed it and resources when she wanted them, she helped make Meng Ying a top-tier actress.

When Meng Ying flirted and got close with other people, Ji Yangyang thought it was a test. She willingly handled Meng Ying's scandals, unafraid of being used by her and only afraid that Meng Ying might have no more use for her. In the end, Meng Ying drained her of every last bit of value. Ji Yangyang lost everything and died taking a knife meant for Meng Ying.

Now that she had another chance, Ji Yangyang would never let the original story play out. She would also spend the rest of her life with someone.

At an auction, Meng Ying told Ji Yangyang to bid on an exorbitantly priced jade pendant that could help her break into the film industry.

When the pendant came up, Ji Yangyang didn't raise her paddle once. Ignoring Meng Ying's furious expression, she bid on a jade bangle instead.

She bought it only because it was the sole keepsake left by Shi Xianyun's mother, the current head of the Shi family. The two of them had once been childhood friends, closer than anyone, but later became strangers and went their separate ways.

Ji Yangyang had thought Shi Xianyun hated her more than anyone. Yet after Ji Yangyang died, Shi Xianyun brought down the Meng family and toppled Meng Ying from her pedestal, making her kneel before Ji Yangyang's grave and repent.

The powerful, elegant head of the Shi family hurried to the auction hall. She quickly understood what was going on and slipped the jade bangle, still a symbol of the Shi family's mistress, onto Ji Yangyang's wrist.

Meng Ying, who depended on the Shi family, watched them with a deathly pale face and trembling body.

Shi Xianyun had found Ji Yangyang annoying when they were children.

She was annoyed that Ji Yangyang was kind not only to her, but to everyone.

So on her birthday, she wished that Ji Yangyang would be kind only to her.

When she was twenty-eight, her childhood birthday wish came true.

The woman she loved told her they would grow old together, in this life and every life to come.
