After the Villainess Awakens Novel

Leng Mushi awakens with the startling realization that she is a villainess in a novel. She learns that completing the novel's plot will grant her freedom. Dedicating herself to the role, she meticulously follows the novel's foolish strategies to frame the heroine and embodies the persona of an infatuated admirer of the male lead. Repeatedly, on the brink of desolate cliffs and at the border of the netherworld, she threatens suicide to Brother Xiao, driven by despair and unrequited love. Her extreme devotion, however, unexpectedly captures Brother Xiao's heart, who confesses his deep love, stating he cannot love anyone else after experiencing such passionate devotion. This leaves Leng Mushi questioning what to do now that her villainous performance has successfully won over the male lead and whether it is too late to refuse his affections.
