Reincarnated as the Villainess Pretending to Be the Beloved White Moonlight

[Everyday Life / Slow-Burning Romance / No Cheating / Sweet Romance]

Lu Manman opens her eyes and finds herself inside a wealthy-family story about switched children. The good news: she's the boss's girlfriend. The bad news: she's a vicious supporting character impersonating his beloved first love.

The original owner stole credit for a kindness, exploited the down-and-out real heir, Qi Xiuyuan, and left her a huge mess to clean up, along with a window ledge twelve stories above the ground.

She knows the plot inside out: Qi Xiuyuan will eventually rise to become a new tech tycoon, while the wicked supporting character meets a tragic end.

To stay alive, Lu Manman changes her tune on the spot. She gives up her sharp tongue and unreasonable tantrums, sells her luxury goods, rolls up her sleeves, and gets a job to pay off the debts. She even tidies up the rented apartment until it feels a little like home.

She genuinely aches for all the hardship this man has endured, and hopes he'll reclaim his identity and have the life that should have been his.

"If I were the one who made you lose the life you should have had, I'd be so, so sad."

So she keeps reminding herself: don't fall for him. Once the debt is paid, run.

But Qi Xiuyuan's gaze grows more and more unsettling.

When she falls, he catches her and doesn't let go of her hand. When she's short on money, he quietly hands over his entire bonus. When someone bullies her, he silently stands up for her. The more she retreats, the closer he gets.

The more she backs away, the more obsessively he pursues her.

Three years later, he reaches the top of the wealthy elite and keeps her locked firmly at his side.

Only then does Lu Manman finally understand.

He has always known what was real and what was fake. He doesn't love a counterfeit act of kindness, and he isn't waiting for the original story's beloved first love.

He's been looking for her all along, waiting for her.
