Ren Qiulan was reborn on the day she was pushed down the stairs and broke her leg.
The woman who pushed her was everyone's beloved. Everyone said it was an accident and told her she had to understand.
No one took her side. In her previous life, she couldn't see the truth, and lay in her hospital bed crying and demanding justice.
They said she was being so "difficult." All their sympathy and guilt vanished, replaced by irritation.
The more difficult she became, the more Ren Qiulan alienated everyone!
Her fiance turned against her, and her childhood friend treated her like a venomous snake.
Even her own brother cast her aside abroad and forbade her from returning home, just so he wouldn't have to see her.
Ren Qiulan's miserable life ended in an unnatural death.
Only after being reborn did she learn that she was merely a wealthy villainess, a stepping stone destined to be abused to death in a pampered heroine novel.
This time, the woman in the hospital bed stroked her broken leg encased in plaster and smiled. She wouldn't ask anyone else to deliver justice. She would claim it herself!
After Ren Mingjun's arrogant, overbearing little sister was pushed down the stairs and broke her leg, she didn't make a scene. Instead, she quietly went abroad for treatment!?
By retreating to advance, Ren Qiulan successfully captured all that cheap sympathy. Over the next eight years, she used it as her foundation, carefully plotting and scheming to win everyone's affection.
When Ren Qiulan returned home, she was a queen making a triumphant comeback, no longer the dull, overlooked woman she had been in her previous life.
Her fiance made a grand public announcement and pursued her onto a dating reality show.
Her childhood friend couldn't have her, but was willing to be her silent protector.
Her brother doted on her and didn't hesitate to give her shares in his company.
And after becoming famous across the country as the "pampered heiress," she turned around and stabbed them all in the back!
Everyone said Ren Qiulan was a vicious woman.
Though everyone doted on her, she abused their affection, deceived her fiance about her feelings, and toyed with her childhood friend's sincere love.
She even went after her own brother, destroying the tech company Ren Mingjun had painstakingly founded during his university years!
There was nothing she wouldn't do. Everyone hated her, but they still loved her.
[Scene]
Jiang Li was Ren Mingjun's greatest rival, from their student days to the world of business.
In background, looks, and ability, they were evenly matched, and everyone considered them sworn enemies.
Ren Qiulan wanted to hand her brother Ren Mingjun's most cherished tech company over to his nemesis, Jiang Li. Nothing could infuriate her brother more.
The refined, handsome man looked at the share transfer agreement pushed in front of him and fell silent for a moment. "You're asking for a lot."
Ren Qiulan gave him a challenging smile. "Think it's too expensive? I'll lower the price, but you'll have to make up the difference another way."
Her slender, pale fingers lightly traced his impeccably neat tie. "For example... Chairman Jiang could keep me entertained tonight?"
Pale skin, bright red nails, a deep black tie: the visual contrast was irresistibly alluring.
She was deliberately provoking him, trying to goad him, but his answer caught her completely off guard.
"All right."
That single word left Ren Qiulan dumbfounded.
But Jiang Li wasn't satisfied. He took her mischievous hand and pressed it to his chest. "I can keep you company, every night for the rest of your life."
What Ren Qiulan didn't know was that Jiang Li had secretly loved her for years.
She was the vicious villainess in the novel. After she died, Jiang Li tried to get justice for her and became the novel's gloomy, obsessive, deranged villain, constantly opposing the male and female leads.
The villainess and the villain.
Perhaps they were made for each other.
