My Life as a Villain Character Episode 9 Recap
> My Life as a Villain Character Recap
Feng Muchen suddenly experienced a sharp pain in his chest. When Wange asked what was wrong, he lied, claiming it was a heart condition, but privately worried that his system was malfunctioning, touching the "happiness switch necklace" around his neck. At breakfast, Wange was surprised that Feng Muchen knew her dislike for egg yolks and that she used to wear glasses. She found his sudden intimacy unusual, as she knew little about him.
Feng Muchen explained his knowledge came from caring deeply about her, accusing her of being cold for not knowing his habits. Wange expressed concern that Feng Muchen's absence from a business dinner the previous night might harm Feng's business. He brushed it off, stating he chose her over business and falsely blamed Yun Yi for puncturing their car tire.
Yun Yi denied it, but Feng Muchen silenced him, demanding that his "models" in the house be discarded, stating Wange was his only "treasure." Just then, a company representative called Feng Muchen, furious that his no-show had cost Feng's all their orders. Feng Muchen remained unfazed, declaring that breakfast with Wange was more important and announcing he would work from home to balance family and career.
Yun Yi and Ning Yuan, Wange's maid, discussed Feng Muchen's clingy behavior, with Ning Yuan remarking on his unusual actions and the common belief that he married Wange for money. Later, Feng Muchen showed Wange a brooch, which Wange recognized as a gift from her grandfather. He revealed it had a hidden recording function and played a clip.
The recording featured Chen Ma, Shen Lingzhu's trusted confidante, discussing an arrangement to drug Wange and throw her into a pond for a large sum of money from Shen Lingzhu. Wange was enraged, realizing Shen Lingzhu had orchestrated her fall into the water. Feng Muchen advised her not to act impulsively, suggesting that Shen Lingzhu lacked the intelligence to plan such a complex scheme alone and that a true mastermind was likely pulling the strings. Wange agreed to wait.
Wange became increasingly uneasy about Feng Muchen's recent attentive behavior, even searching online for advice on "what to do if my husband loves me very much." She suspected he might be the mastermind and secretly checked for hidden cameras in her room, only to find a smoke alarm, making her wonder if she had misjudged him.
Meanwhile, Ning Yuan confirmed that Shen Lingzhu had indeed instructed Chen Ma's son to cause Wange's fall into the lake, providing evidence that matched the recording. Ning Yuan also reported that a Mr. Jackson, whose information was limited, might be linked to the deeper plot. Realizing the importance of investigating Mr. Jackson, Wange decided she must attend the upcoming summer camp where he would be the supervisor.
Downstairs, Yun Yi called out to Ning Yuan, who went to learn swimming with him, explaining that it was to better protect Wange. Feng Muchen then entered, giving Wange books on company and inheritance law. He urged her to study them thoroughly to rightfully inherit shares, warning her about experienced businessmen coveting her assets. Wange found his behavior like an NPC giving out tasks.
She tried to hide her laptop screen, which showed a novel titled "What should I do if my husband loves me very much?" with a chapter titled "He's Here." She tried to access it, but the screen went blank, leading her to believe that characters in a novel couldn't read their own stories. When Feng Muchen took a shower with the curtain open, Wange chastised him, but he retorted it was his home and only they were on that floor.
She revealed her newfound "superpower" of photographic memory, which he readily believed. Wange then received a phone call from her father, Lu Wenyuan, inviting her and Feng Muchen for dinner that evening and reminding her to bring the recording brooch to "fight monsters." Later, Feng Muchen and Wange arrived at the Ye family home.
Lu Wenyuan initially expressed disappointment in Feng Muchen for missing the business meeting, but Feng Muchen apologized, explaining he was caring for a sick Wange, who confirmed his story. Shen Lingzhu, referred to as Aunt Zhu, subtly criticized Feng Muchen's lack of ambition and deliberately failed to set a place for him at the table. Lu Wenyuan announced the Ye family's summer camp project, with Mr. Jackson as the supervisor, and encouraged Wange and Wanqing to participate.
Shen Lingzhu tried to dissuade Wange from attending, citing her recent illness. Wange, however, insisted on going and then confronted Shen Lingzhu about the missing tableware for Feng Muchen. Wange played the brooch recording, exposing Shen Lingzhu's plot with Chen Ma. Shen Lingzhu vehemently denied the accusations, claiming Chen Ma was framing her and the recording was false. Feng Muchen calmly explained the brooch's hidden function, corroborating Wange's account.
Cornered, Shen Lingzhu feigned severe stomach pain and dramatically announced her pregnancy. Lu Wenyuan, who had always longed for a son, immediately dropped the investigation, prioritizing Shen Lingzhu's health and the baby. He promised to help Feng Muchen restart his cooperation with the Ye's Group and dismissed them. Wange was enraged, realizing her father's desire for a son had made Shen Lingzhu untouchable.
Feng Muchen comforted Wange, promising her justice and assuring her he would always be there to listen to her worries and support her. Back home, Wange began packing for the summer camp. Feng Muchen, worried about her safety since she couldn't swim, had prepared noodles for her. While she was distracted, he secretly canceled her online registration for the camp on her computer. Wange, annoyed by his constant nagging about her safety near water, told him to leave.
The next morning, Feng Muchen surprised Wange with two small alpacas, which she adored, jokingly asking if he had a guilty conscience. He then revealed two larger alpacas. Wange was delighted, calling them cute. Feng Muchen playfully declared himself their "dad" and Wange their "mom." They named the alpacas Meihan and Runze. Feng Muchen suggested Wange stay home to care for the alpacas, believing his "little trick" had successfully dissuaded her from going to the summer camp. However, Wange, who had anticipated his move, had secretly re-registered for the summer camp on her phone. She happily confirmed her enrollment, ensuring her attendance while Feng Muchen remained unaware.
