What Does the Villainess Side Character Even Want?

Chu Xing belatedly realized she was the villainous female supporting character in a rebirth novel, and the promising young man she'd raised was the second male lead who would eventually take the throne.

Someone was using the man she'd raised to come after her. Was she supposed to put up with that?

So she decided that if she'd taken the villain's place, she might as well do what a villain would do.

A competent villain has a tried-and-true way to sabotage a love story: provoke him, make things hard for him, awaken the greed in his heart, and lure him into the villainess's arms until he can't tear himself away.

If she couldn't win his heart, she'd have him anyway!

Chu Xing's interest was rekindled in the man she'd neglected for three or four years.

Amid deafening music, she cornered him. Her gaze was intense and left no room for refusal. "Zhuang Yu, you should look at me more. That way, you'll see what I want."

Her intentions were far too obvious. She laid a trap around him step by step, but all Zhuang Yu saw in her eyes was interest: a hunter's interest in its prey. Whether he advanced or retreated, he was at a loss.

Chu Xing would never know how hard he fought to suppress the seed that had already taken root.

She stirred it until it was ready to break free, then turned away without mercy every time.

"She used five percent of the shares to decide whether you'd stay or go. Keep the shares, or keep you."

Zhuang Yu felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over him. If he was going to lose her either way, why keep holding himself back?

He thought, if being obedient and compliant couldn't make her stay, then he would try another way.

"Chu Xing, kiss me."

Chu Xing smiled slowly.

Plan: success.

Calm, rational, and always in control heiress x passionate, lively young master who gets himself angry and then comforts himself

1. Yan Cenxu was dumped. Stunned, he dropped everything and flew overseas to demand an explanation.

He waited and waited, but that woman wouldn't even meet him.

Yan Cenxu gave up. As the proud, pampered second son of the Yan family, he could have money, fame, or women, whatever he wanted. Why get hung up on one woman?

2. Yao Huihe returned to the country with a handsome young man by her side.

Anyone who knew them could see that the man's face bore some resemblance to Yan Cenxu's.

The fire in Yan Cenxu's heart was fanned back to life. It wasn't that he couldn't let go. He just couldn't swallow his pride!

In an empty room, Yan Cenxu gripped Yao Huihe's shoulders tightly, the corners of his eyes red, as if he might burst into tears at any moment.

"Yao Huihe, what do you mean by this?"

"Do you think I'm old, that I'm not as young as someone else, so you deliberately found a stand-in to parade in front of me?"

"Exactly what it sounds like." Yao Huihe admitted that she'd only said it to be cruelly playful. When that tear finally fell, her heart ached.

3. Yao Huihe was calm and rational. She had considered everything before deciding to break up.

She just didn't know that feelings couldn't always be resolved by cool analysis to produce the best outcome.

When she saw Yan Cenxu again, Yao Huihe knew she still wanted him.

Note:

1. No stand-ins, misunderstandings, or coincidences
