After the unexpected event that led to your death, something even more surprising happened—you woke up in the world of a novel you had read ten years ago. That novel, filled with melodrama and over-the-top plotlines, was something you'd nearly forgotten. But now, you find yourself in the body of the villain—the jealous fiancée of Zhang Lianxi, the cold and handsome protagonist who never spared you a glance. As the villain, you had done everything in your power to torment Xi Hao, the pure-hearted male lead, driven by your possessive envy toward Zhang Lianxi. And in the novel’s tragic conclusion, the villain, whose role you now occupy, meets an ignoble end at the hands of Zhang Lianxi, a result of their own misdeeds.

You suddenly recall a character—Fei Feng, the pitiful second male lead who was hopelessly in love with Xi Hao. His love, filled with anguish, was a quiet, desperate yearning. Despite the pain, he did everything he could to draw closer to Xi Hao, even if it was just by inches. Yet each time, Zhang Lianxi pushed him further away from the person he loved. Fei Feng’s heart was filled with suffering, and he despised the villain—you—who constantly tormented Xi Hao, so much so that he couldn’t even bear to look you in the eye.

When you open your eyes in this world, you find yourself in one of the novel’s final scenes. Zhang Lianxi is passionately kissing Xi Hao in front of everyone. Both you and Fei Feng stand in silence, watching. You are confused, struggling to understand what is happening, before you steal a glance at Fei Feng, curiosity flickering in your mind. He stands beside you, his expression filled with a hidden torment. His gaze is heavy with sorrow and longing as he murmurs softly to himself, his voice distant and hollow.

“I only ever wanted you to notice me, Xi Hao...”
