My Life as a Villain Character Episode 18 Recap
> My Life as a Villain Character Recap
Wange woke up in a hospital bed, disoriented, and asked Feng Muchen why they were there. Feng Muchen, visibly distraught, apologized profusely, blaming his impatience for causing her to faint. He urged her to rest while he went to call the doctor, tenderly ensuring she was covered to prevent a chill. Once alone, Wange was appalled by her rough skin and lack of cosmetic enhancements, especially with a wedding to plan.
She imperiously ordered a nurse to buy her a black lace nightgown, along with a specific perfume called "Morning After." When presented with hospital food, she declared it inedible and demanded it be thrown away, reacting defensively when the nurse suggested she might be disoriented due to a concussion. As Feng Muchen returned, Wange instantly adopted a sweet, gentle demeanor. Complaining about the hospital food, she insisted they go out to eat.
She also rejected the modest clothes Feng Muchen offered, questioning Ning Yuan why her high-end attire wasn't brought. Wange then eagerly suggested they go shopping, as she hadn't in a while. Observing this new behavior, Ning Yuan worried Wange was acting strangely, but Yun Yi remarked that she now seemed more like a privileged young lady. At the mall, Wange casually tossed aside a necklace she found unsightly, claiming it gave her "neck wrinkles."
Feng Muchen picked it up and offered to buy her a new one. Ning Yuan, concerned, even suggested Wange might benefit from brain-boosting health supplements. Their shopping was interrupted by the arrival of Su Yinyin and Cheng Ji. Wange expressed surprise at Su Yinyin's presence, asking when she returned and acting as if she didn't recognize her, even questioning why Su Yinyin called her "Little Cousin-in-law."
Su Yinyin recounted Wange's recent rejection of Feng Muchen's proposal and her subsequent shopping spree, wondering if she had forgotten. Wange, however, denied ever rejecting Feng Muchen and affectionately embraced him, declaring she could never refuse him. Su Yinyin noted Wange's changed demeanor but couldn't quite place the difference, jokingly asking if she'd been "kicked in the head by a donkey." Later, Wange went to see her father, Lu Wenyuan, presenting him with a gift bought using his credit card.
He remarked on her changed appearance. When he asked about her relationship with Feng Muchen, Wange mentioned her amnesia regarding a "fake pregnancy" and Feng Muchen's proposal after she woke up. Realizing her memory loss, Lu Wenyuan inquired about a stock she owned and offered to manage it for her.
However, Wange, in a "love-struck" state, insisted on giving the stock to Feng Muchen, believing it would encourage him to propose to her a second time, a gesture Lu Wenyuan considered a family misfortune. Back home, Wange was perplexed by the abundance of pink, "rustic" clothes in her room.
Ning Yuan explained that Wange's entire style and personality had shifted dramatically since her last fainting spell, and surprisingly, Feng Muchen seemed to have adapted to this "new" Wange more readily than anyone else. Feeling a sense of disconnect, Wange asked Ning Yuan to recount her past and how she came to be with Feng Muchen, attributing her confusion to memory loss from her injury.
Meanwhile, the true Wange was trapped within the world of telencephalon (consciousness space), helplessly observing her counterpart, the "novel's Wange," mimic her appearance and actions. She felt profound frustration, accusing the impostor of stealing her life and her beloved Feng Muchen. Feng Muchen, too, began to harbor doubts. Recalling Wange's unusual act of discarding the necklace, his suspicions about her identity grew. That night, the novel's Wange approached him, feigning a nightmare and expressing fear of being alone.
She asked to sleep in his room, an offer the trapped original Wange vehemently protested. Feng Muchen, though seemingly comforting, subtly avoided her suggestion to share a bed, proposing they talk until she fell asleep, and he would then escort her back to her room. Wange agreed but playfully warned him not to "cross the line." Feng Muchen tried to reassure himself that she was still his "Xiao Ge."
However, the strong scent of "Morning After" perfume on her, which he knew the original Wange disliked, combined with her newfound habit of calling him "Feng Gege" (a term the original Wange never used), heightened his unease. Citing urgent work, he excused himself to pull an all-nighter, leaving the novel's Wange disappointed and determined to intensify her seductive efforts.
The novel's Wange continued her charming attempts, acting flirtatious and cute, even bringing him a drink and cooling him down on a hot day, questioning why he hadn't proposed. Feng Muchen, gazing at the engagement ring, wrestled with his decision. Simultaneously, the original Wange, still trapped, desperately called out to Feng Muchen, expressing deep regret for rejecting his previous proposal.
She confessed her hesitation and overthinking, admitting she now longed to marry him and return to his side, feeling terrified without him. As if hearing her plea, Feng Muchen halted his impending proposal to the novel's Wange. He explained that the current setting lacked proper ceremony and promised a grander, more surprising proposal later, then sent her home with Yun Yi. Alone, Feng Muchen cried out Wange's name to the vast sea.
He affirmed that he was not fooled, recognizing that the person acting as Wange was an impostor. He wondered aloud about the true Wange's whereabouts, whether she was in the consciousness space or some other unknown place. He invoked a shared saying, "Being by your side, and being by your side, is the most wonderful day," and then made a startling confession: he had come to this world solely to find her. He pleaded for her to return quickly.
The original Wange, hearing this, was left stunned, questioning who Feng Muchen truly was. Feng Muchen then apologized to the unseen Wange, admitting his selfishness and lack of consideration for her feelings, once again begging her to return.
