I Flipped After Winning Over the Cold, Ruthless Villain

Xia Xingyue dreams that he's in a face-slapping novel about punishing scumbags.

He's the cannon-fodder ex-husband of the male lead, playing the villainous role of bullying the protagonist, only to meet a miserable end.

When Xia Xingyue wakes up, he discovers that it's all true.

Xia Xingyue: ? This makes no sense!

So at the wedding, Xia Xingyue kicks the male lead aside, grabs Lu Jin, the Lu family's younger uncle, and makes a passionate confession on the spot.

-

The Lu family's younger uncle, Lu Jin, has a gentle, refined air, like a noble young master in an ink painting: elegant, graceful, and handsome.

But it's all an act!

Lu Jin is actually cold and aloof, indifferent to the core, and incapable of falling for anyone.

After being switched at birth and raised elsewhere for over a decade, he only returned to his family two months ago, with revenge in mind.

Xia Xingyue knows that in three months, Lu Jin will fake his death by pretending to be ill.

Isn't that just perfect?

Once Lu Jin is presumed dead, he'll be free.

After the wedding, he acts deeply in love, devoted to Lu Jin.

For Lu Jin's "illness," he climbs mountains to pray to the gods and Buddha.

In truth, he's getting into trouble outside and avoiding his older brother's scolding.

For Lu Jin, he gets into a fight with someone at a bar.

The fight had already happened. He just dragged Lu Jin's name into it.

Xia Xingyue even folds 9,999 wishing stars for Lu Jin and plants a whole room of longevity flowers by hand.

He comes up with one romantic gesture after another, unwavering in his devotion. Even he believes it eighty percent of the time.

Three months later, at last, Lu Jin "passes away."

-

After Lu Jin dies, Xia Xingyue cries for three days and nights, unable to pull himself together.

On the fourth day, unable to resist any longer, he wanders out for a chicken drumstick, then sneaks back into the mourning hall in the middle of the night.

But the instant he steps inside, he freezes.

A man leans against the wall inside the mourning hall, watching Xia Xingyue expertly climb through the window with a calm expression.

Smoke fills the room. It's clear he's been there a long time.

???

Terrified, Xia Xingyue gets stuck in the window, unable to go in or back out. He stares blankly at Lu Jin, who should be a thousand miles away.

Lu Jin, on the other hand, takes a step forward after their eyes meet, grabs Xia Xingyue by the neck, pulls him down from the window, and pins him against the wall.

The man's rough fingertips rub Xia Xingyue's pale little face over and over as he sneers, "I heard Young Master Xia loved me so much he couldn't help himself, cried for three whole days, and didn't even drink a drop of water. So how do you look like you've gained weight?"

'Clatter.'

The chicken drumstick falls from Xia Xingyue's hand.

QAQ I-I overdid it.
