My Life as a Villain Character Episode 12 Recap
> My Life as a Villain Character Recap
Wange visited Ye Huating in the hospital, where he playfully pretended to be well, even joking about Feng Muchen’s company potentially going bankrupt, though he quickly retracted the joke to express his hope of seeing Wange married and meeting his great-grandchild next year. Wange promised to have children within a year, making him happy, and he hinted at a grand reward for them.
Shortly after, Wange was called out of the room for an urgent consultation update, learning that all doctors were already meeting, indicating the seriousness of his condition. She rushed back to his bedside, calling for him, but tragically, Ye Huating passed away. At Ye Huating’s funeral, a grief-stricken Wange felt that everything was meaningless and expressed her inability to understand how to move forward.
Feng Muchen comforted her, reminding her that her grandpa would want her to live a good life and assuring her that he was still by her side. He then revealed to Wange that he, too, could see the novel's plot, demonstrating their shared unique connection. He promised that they were not merely subject to fate and urged her to live her life to the fullest, to smile and stop crying.
Meanwhile, Shen Lingzhu spoke with her husband (presumably Lu Wenyuan), asserting that with "the old man gone," he could now take bold actions within the company. She subtly brought up Ye Huating’s dying wish for Wange to take over, but quickly suggested that Wange was too young and should start from an entry-level position to learn the ropes. Her husband agreed, praising her thoughtfulness. Shen Lingzhu then proposed that their daughter, Wanqing, also join the company to intern alongside Wange.
However, Wanqing arrived and expressed her desire to work at the Meilian branch, a new company, to gain more experience rather than the main company. Her father supported her decision, but Shen Lingzhu privately criticized Wanqing, believing she was making a mistake that would only benefit Wange. Wanqing explained her ambition to manage Meilian well to earn her father's respect.
News spread that "the daughter of the Ye family is heartless" and "Mr. Feng Jr's marriage failed, Feng's company can't escape bankruptcy." Wange confronted Feng Muchen about his seeming indifference, labeling it a "lying-down philosophy." He merely told her to wait and see. Soon after, three shareholders confronted Feng Muchen about his prolonged absence and the company's financial crisis.
They claimed that Wange had been cold-hearted and refused to help, despite their pleas, and declared they could no longer continue working for Feng's. Feng Muchen calmly accepted their resignations and had them sign the agreements. Just then, Chen Ye arrived, announcing that a significant commercial order for Greater China had been secured, with the deposit arriving that very day, which would resolve Feng's liquidity issues.
The departing shareholders realized they had been tricked, and Chen Ye pointedly warned them about the small business world and the repercussions of abandoning a company in times of trouble. After they left, Wange understood that Feng Muchen had orchestrated the fake bankruptcy news to cleverly oust the unloyal shareholders without paying severance. She praised his intelligence, but he quickly became drowsy and developed a headache, which he attributed to sleepiness.
Later, Wange returned to their room and found Feng Muchen in a deep, unresponsive sleep. Worried, she called for Yun Yi and Ning Yuan to summon an ambulance. They confirmed he was fine but suggested he had a "sleep disorder" and jokingly recommended "Snow White's kiss" or "Frog Prince" to wake him up, implying Wange should kiss him. Annoyed, Wange insisted on calling real medical help.
As she tried to rouse Feng Muchen, he suddenly woke up, admitting he was pretending. He pulled her down for a kiss, but Yun Yi and Ning Yuan's untimely entrance interrupted them. Wange startled, accidentally stepping on Feng Muchen's leg, causing him to wince in pain. His assistants exaggeratedly fretted about his injury, claiming he might need a wheelchair. Feng Muchen then playfully demanded Wange take care of him, asking for kisses and hugs.
Wange later fed Feng Muchen his medicine and pressed him to confess where he was from. He humorously avoided the question, saying he was her "sweetheart." When she insisted, he typed "Anhui Huainan," revealing his origin. Wange jokingly warned him that she didn't accept long-distance relationships. Feng Muchen then surprised her by listing her favorite local foods, realizing they were both "folks" from the same region.
He promised to make rolled noodles for her once they were out of the novel. Wange told him her father had called, asking her to start working at the company, signaling a new plot development. Feng Muchen presented her with a new suit he had personally made, revealing that he, too, had "cheated" in the novel to gain skills.
They speculated about what their real-life meeting would be like and reiterated their goal of escaping the novel once "this career line is finished." Feng Muchen advised Wange to be cautious of the people around her at the new company, as he wouldn't be able to assist her directly. Wange confidently declared she was ready to face whatever challenges the author had in store.
In preparation for their big project with the Ye Group, Chen Ye informed Yuan that Mr. Jackson would be returning to China to participate. He assigned Yuan the role of deputy project leader at the Ye Group to oversee the collaboration. When Wange arrived at the Ye Group for her new job, she was greeted by a line of employees who addressed her as "Miss Ye," including Yuan, who confirmed they would be working together.
Wange, feeling uncomfortable with the special treatment, asked everyone to be low-key, emphasizing she was merely an intern. She was shown to her workstation, noting how high-profile her position as a "Miss" made her work seem. Project Manager Chen Yin introduced himself to Wange, immediately offering her snacks, a private rest room, and the flexibility to leave early. Wange asserted that she was there to intern, not to relax, and intended to follow company rules.
Chen Yin brushed off her concerns, telling her to take her time getting familiar with the environment. Wange soon realized that her planning documents were empty, and she had no tasks, feeling as though she was being intentionally sidelined. She tried to engage Chen Yin, asking if she could help with his work, but he consistently declined. Frustrated after three days of idleness, knowing only office trivia, Wange confronted Chen Yin, demanding a "decent job" related to fashion brand operations.
He suggested she watch dramas and analyze their streaming data. Wange proposed taking on any available project, but Chen Yin claimed all projects were assigned and there were no vacancies, advising her to wait. He further explained that her father, Mr. Ye, had instructed him not to overwork her, making his position as a supervisor difficult. Wange understood her father's true intention: to marginalize her.
Determined not to be a "figurehead," Wange decided to relentlessly pester Chen Yin, offering to assist him by bringing him tea and water daily, cleaning his workspace, and even accidentally (or perhaps deliberately) causing minor mishaps like spilling water on his data or computer. Faced with her persistence, Chen Yin became increasingly flustered and seemingly had no option but to eventually address her demands.
