SYNOPSIS:
The Blackened White Moonlight Turns into a Beautiful Madwoman: Ming Lan
Versus
The All-Around Loyal and Tragic Villain: Yi An
Ming Lan only realized the truth at the moment of her death. She was the “White Moonlight” of every major character in a melodramatic romance novel, and her lifetime of pain finally had an explanation.
She was born into a wealthy family, blessed with beauty and gentle eyes, but cursed with chronic illness. Always kind and soft-spoken, she helped everyone she could in hopes of earning good karma. Only later did she learn that the people she helped were the main characters of the story, including key leads and the ultimate villainess.
The cold, quiet man she always greeted politely was actually the story’s male lead.
The warm and refined childhood friend she patiently supported was the second male lead, neglected by his wealthy family.
The rebellious and bruised young man she once saved during a street fight was the roguish third male lead from a rival family.
The poor girl she paid tuition for was actually a hidden heiress and the main antagonist of the entire story.
After her condition worsened, Ming Lan went abroad for treatment. While she was gone, the male lead met a new woman who resembled her just enough to trigger the cliché “substitute romance” plotline. One by one, everyone else in the story also met this new woman and mistook her for the real thing.
She ran. They chased. She had no escape.
When Ming Lan returned to China, one soft cough from her was enough to make all the men abandon the heroine and rush to her side with desperate affection. The heroine finally realized she had only ever been a stand-in. Heartbroken, she chose to disappear. At that moment, everyone claimed to suddenly realize that their true love was the heroine. They blamed Ming Lan for her “death” and accused her of being cruel and manipulative.
Ming Lan had done nothing wrong. In fact, she didn’t even know the heroine existed. But no one believed her. She could only watch helplessly as her family was destroyed by these people, who used to bully her as a way to win favor with the heroine.
Only one person stood up for her. The so-called “vicious villainess” from the original story risked everything to save Ming Lan and take revenge on those who had wronged her.
According to the original novel, this villainess had gone mad with jealousy because she loved the male lead but could not have him. Her obsession ruined his career, and she was eventually thrown out by her family. While escaping with Ming Lan, she jumped into the sea and died.
But Ming Lan remembered something different.
When the villainess found her locked in the male lead’s basement, her eyes were filled with pain and tenderness. In the days that followed, she cared for Ming Lan with gentle devotion. Just before Ming Lan’s death, the woman whispered through tears, “Miss Ming, do you really not remember me?”
Ming Lan did remember her. But by then, she had no strength to speak.
Ming Lan died full of grief and regret. She thought her story had ended.
But when she opened her eyes again, she found herself back on the day she returned to China for treatment.
This time, she would take back everything she had given and she would make them all pay.
As soon as she stepped off the plane, a group of powerful CEOs nearly broke into a fight over who would greet her first. She put on her sunglasses, ignored them completely, and climbed into her long Lincoln limousine.
At her welcome banquet, the cold male lead asked her to dance. She raised her chin and said, “Leave.”
The male lead’s expression darkened. Her childhood friend, trying to ease the tension, reached out with a gentle smile. She calmly drank her champagne and replied, “You leave too.”
Wanting to escape the noise, she wandered into the garden, only to see the roguish male lead bullying the heroine. The heroine flushed red and raised her hand, but hesitated.
Ming Lan didn’t.
With a loud slap, she struck the man across the face. The once-arrogant playboy froze when he saw her. He forgot to be angry and quickly tried to distance himself from the heroine.
Ming Lan didn’t even look at him. She turned to the stunned heroine and said, “If you want to hit someone, hit them. What are you waiting for?”
From that moment on, Ming Lan only grew more beautiful and more terrifying. The more she laughed, the more she lost control. And the more insane she became, the more obsessed they became with her.
While they fought among themselves, bleeding and broken, she turned toward the villainess hiding in the corner and called out, “Why are you standing so far away? Do you really think I’ll eat you?”

She’s back and this time, she’s tearing everyone apart.
