Chi Yi and Jian Qing shared hardship in childhood. When they became adults, Chi Yi tried to find Jian Qing to repay her kindness. Instead, she was deceived by Jian Qing’s adoptive parents’ biological daughter, who impersonated Jian Qing.
The impostor, the vicious supporting character, was Xie Shaoyun.
As the role demanded, her life was reduced to permed hair and heavy makeup. Everyone said she was nothing more than a frivolous street queen.
Chi Yi, the eldest daughter of the wealthy Chi family, was dazzling, intelligent, disciplined, and admired by all as the daughter of heaven.
Two women who were never supposed to meet found themselves tied together by fate.
For two years, Chi Yi helped Xie Shaoyun change her bad habits and tutored her so she could attend university. No matter how rebellious Shaoyun was, Chi Yi never gave up on her. Touched by this unrelenting gentleness, Shaoyun fell in love with Chi Yi.
The story spiraled beyond control. Shaoyun studied hard, entered Nanjing University, and shaped herself into the person Chi Yi liked. She even forgot her identity as a role-player. Upon graduation, she married Chi Yi.
One month later, Jian Qing returned from studying abroad.
When the truth was revealed, Chi Yi told Shaoyun with cold detachment that all her kindness had come from their shared childhood bond. Even faced with Shaoyun’s moral flaws, she would have still reached out to her. Yet her eyes now looked at Shaoyun like a stranger.
“Do you have anything left to say?”
The system whispered in Shaoyun’s mind: A villainess must act like a villainess.
Shaoyun woke up to reality, crossed her legs, and replied with a sneer, showing no remorse.
“No. I was simply jealous of her.”
Chi Yi’s expression turned to disappointment.
“You are beyond saving.”
Shaoyun shrugged carelessly.
“Yes. I was born vicious.”
When the truth came to light, everyone condemned Xie Shaoyun as selfish and accused her of tricking her way into marriage. Even her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Xie, were disappointed and threatened to cast her out.
At this stage, Shaoyun was ready to accept her fate, waiting quietly for a divorce agreement that never came. One day passed, then two, then half a month. Still, Chi Yi did not send the papers.
One day they met again.
Chi Yi asked, “Do you regret it?”
Shaoyun glanced at Jian Qing, who stood behind her, then smiled at Chi Yi with a teasing tone.
“How could I? Baby, watching you fall for my tricks excites me.”
Chi Yi narrowed her eyes and slapped away Shaoyun’s hand with force. The next day, they divorced.
- Aftermath
Half a month later, Xie Shaoyun died of cancer. Before her death, she donated her kidney to Jian Qing.
Only after she passed away did people begin to repent.
But in truth, she had not really died. She was reborn.

After my death, everyone repented.
