After the Villainess Awakens

Description

Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.

Leng Mushi unexpectedly awakened to the knowledge that she was a villainess in a novel. The novel’s law told her that if she completed the plot in the novel, she would regain freedom over her life.

She began to conscientiously play the role of the villainess. She followed the novel’s extremely s*upid ways of framing the heroine and acted out the crazy role of an infatuated person towards the male lead.

On the edge of a desolate cliff, with a deranged appearance, she said, “Brother Xiao, if you don’t agree, I’ll jump down from here.”

On the edge of a cliff in the secret realm, with a twisted appearance, she said, “Brother Xiao, if you go see her, I’ll jump from here.”

On the edge of a cliff in the devil realm, with a tearfully ugly appearance, she said, “Brother Xiao, if you marry her, I’ll jump from here.”

At the border of the netherworld, while crying in despair, she said, “Why don’t you love me? What’s the point of living if you don’t love me? I’m going to jump from here!”

Xiao Mian: … Come down, I love you.

Leng Mushi: Huh?

What to do when the villainess, who was too committed to acting out her role, wins over the male lead? Was it too late to reject him?

Xiao Mian: I’ve never been so crazily loved by someone. To be loved in such a passionate and intense way, I don’t think I’ll be able to fall in love with anyone else.

It's a really a good story.

The plot at the beginning kind of cliche but the plot twist at the ending really fresh.

And I think that the title really describe the whole story. Because at least in my opinion the FL was a real villain or the most forgiving title was anti hero.

Big Spoiler of the plot twist.

Spoiler

the FL was actually a deity that (based of my understanding) a centre of everything. And the villain in the story was a dark side of her that she separated from herself. In my opinion, the whole disaster was happening only because she wanted to feel how to be a human and experiencing all the human's feeling. Even the happy ending happened because she finally got what she want, which is falling in love with the ML who already died 4 times for her (she just heartlessly used him for 4 lifetime and he keep so devoted to her). She kind of a very selfish character for me, but the most interesting FL I've ever read

[collapse]

I think the ML was the best indeed, because he really love the FL unconditionally, no matter how she treatd him. He only want the best for her. <<less

The novel's summary is only accurate for the first three lines.
Spoiler

Leng Mushi and Xiao Mian are already together before going to the secret realm.

She's perceptive enough to notice when Xiao Mian starts to falls for her. She's not caught off guard when he confesses.

He doesn't entirely fall for her because of her fake infatuated actions required by the novel's law. He likes her because of what he sees when she's her usual self and moments when she's going against the novel's law. He falls for the real, flawed her.

[collapse]

Summaries on jjwxc are written several months before the actual story is written. Authors usually don't update the summary because that would require getting it re-approved again.

When Xiao Mian falls for Leng Mushi, he reminds me of Tian Yao from Back From the Brink (2023 drama) if Tian Yao had never met Su Ying, sweet, pure, and earnest. Leng Mushi is his first and only love and because of that he doesn't carry any baggage.

As for Leng Mushi, she's a complicated character. She can be very charming and is good about talking her way out of trouble. She falls for Xiao Mian because he repeatedly shows her his devotion, that he would never hurt or betray her. As she matures from meeting new people, she gains perspective about her parents and their relationship that helps set her free. For example,
Spoiler

she goes from being jealous that her half-sister receives their father's affection to realizing her father only loves himself and that he's left a trail of victims and many other things.

[collapse]

I like that Leng Mushi keeps resisting the novel's laws and trying to figure out its motives. There's a lot of interesting twists in the plot. It was also nice seeing the various female friendships and that MC's relationship with her half-sister isn't black and white
Spoiler

She doesn't want anything to do with her half-sister, but at the same time she protects her half-sister from bullies, which is why her half-sister is trusting of Leng Mushi during times when she has to act out scenes from the novel

I thought it was a comedy, but the more I read the more I can't laugh anymore. It wasn't complex but wasn't simple either, sigh, how how can it started with comedically but ended up teary and relieved. Worth to read..

The novel description doesn't do the novel itself justice. But I find that most great novels are like that. This story is truly deep, hence the tragedy tag. It has a happy ending.

Spoiler

FL acts out loving the ML, when it's actually the ML that falls in love first.

[collapse]

Where to find an ML like this one?

I was initially reading this looking for a happy merry short light read but nah, the plot turned grim midway. Its not just a 'villainess awakens and has to follow the original plot', it was something deeper than that. The tragedy tag should be added because the middle arc was like all tragedy it pained my heart so much. But fret not! Fortunately it's a happy ending story or I'm gonna be dwelling in the sorrow for days after finishing this LOL.

The story somehow reminds me of The Guide to... more>> Capturing a Black Lotus, but the ML is pretty much an innocent, docile lamb and he fell for FL early. FL herself is such a complex character, she's a strong-willed, somewhat selfish but really kind to her people. The author really made the main characters' backstories that shaped their personalities so upsetting but all in all, everything resolved in the end.

4/5 for the translation, some early chapters are solid but as it advanced the translations went downhill, I guess they use MTL because some characters' names would randomly change but not really a problem since it's still readable, and doesn't affect the plot especially if you read it in one go, as it's completely translated. <<less

I ugly cried mid way lol

I love everything about this novel. The female leads personality and the pure devotion and trust ML had for MC. The ending was very satisfactory for me and I'm really happy for this couple.

The translator site was super fast too and I appreciated their effort in translating this gem so much! Will definitely come back to read this novel again ❤️❤️❤️

From the title and the description alone, I originally thought that it's going to be some silly romcom cultivation.

How utterly wrong I was, in the best way possible

Spoiler

Leng Mushi is cannon fodder who has some knowledge of a novel she read, and to avoid the disasters, she's gonna have to follow the scenarios to survive. But what if I told you that she's the equivalent of a god who turned back time and regressed four times because she made a mistake and that mistake caused all the tragedies she faced, and Xiao Mian is someone who lived and died for her all throughout those regressions.

[collapse]

The plot setup may look normal at a glance, but it's way more deeper than you what you think it is.

Spoiler

Perhaps the tragedies/deaths/calamities/sufferings experienced by everyone is something intentionally done so that when Leng Mushi turned back time, she knew what to do and prevented all of it from happening. The most notable would be Ping An (crying/lamenting ghost), who finally lived as a normal child.

[collapse]

A great story with a great translation is definitely a worthwhile read. 5/5 <<less

This story is pretty funny!! I love the interactions of the FL with every character she encounters! I desperately want to MTL ahead but the translator is good and consistent so I'll be good and wait. This is going on my "Read as soon as there is an update" list.

I love it, I don't get why the rating is low when this one is obviously better than most novels I've read that has higher rating than this. I think the title will mislead you to think that this novel will be like those comedic 1-dimensional stories we always get, but no. The main characters are complex, the plot is engaging and it not dragged on. There will be lots of heartache, I felt bad for the ML most of the time but I also don't blame the FL, but... more>> no no worry cuz it's sweet in its own way. I was afraid at first cuz of the tragedy tag, I don't want to be traumatize again but thank god it has a happy ending and I just hope there was at least side stories. <<less
