The Villain: The Heroine Saw My Video Edits, and Her Impression of Me Shattered

Chapter 12:

Although Li Ruo and Bai Xin managed to maintain some composure, the other two women watching the video had no such restraint, bursting into laughter.

The girl with twin pigtails sitting in front of her computer, biting on a lollipop, laughed so hard she pounded the desk.

“The effects are so cheap… but they work so well!”

Meanwhile, in her office, the CEO of Zheng Corporation, also couldn’t hold back her laughter.

“Hahaha… Oh, it’s been so long since I’ve laughed this much.”

“Lin Liang… Who would’ve thought this guy could be so amusing?”

“Next time I’m doing business with the Lin family, I’ll have to find a way to meet him!”

Clearly, cringeworthy idol dramas and web series weren’t that popular in this world yet.

Lin Liang’s spur-of-the-moment special effects had once again proven successful.

The bizarre camera angles, sound effects, and over-the-top visuals came to an end soon enough.

The final shot showed Li Ruo’s stylish back as she walked away.

Li Ruo watched herself in the video as she coolly said, “Don’t block my way, I have to get to the library,” and walked off, looking both graceful and confident.

The filming didn’t make fun of her, and, without realizing it, her annoyance toward Lin Liang faded.

Especially when she remembered that Lin Liang had even poked fun at himself earlier, Li Ruo almost forgave him entirely.

A faint smile appeared on her lips as she muttered softly,

“Alright, I’ll let it slide since you managed to redeem my image today…”

But before she could finish her thought, Lin Liang’s voice interrupted.

“Oh? Are you thinking that Li Ruo actually looked pretty cool in that scene?”

The video cut back to Lin Liang’s commentary, with him lounging in his chair and spreading his hands.

“To be honest, I almost got tricked by her too!”

“For a moment, I thought maybe she fell for me because I looked too handsome today and spoke too sweetly!”

Upon hearing this, Li Ruo snorted.

“So shameless,” she muttered under her breath.

But the next part of Lin Liang’s commentary wiped the smile off her face.

“Don’t be fooled by Li Ruo, everyone!”

“It’s no small feat to stand out and become the female lead in this brainless world.”

“Based on my knowledge of love-obsessed characters…”

“She might look cold on the outside, but deep down, she’s already fallen for Long Haotian!”

“But this woman is so fake, she pretends to be indifferent!”

Lin Liang raised a finger at this point.

“In short, if I had to sum it up in one word… it would be: ‘phony’!”

Hearing this, Li Ruo’s vision nearly went black with rage.

She leapt from her chair in her apartment.

“Lin Liang! Did you just call me fake? Call me ‘phony’?”

“Do you think I’m blind? That I’d ever like someone like Long Haotian and pretend to be indifferent for him?!”

It was the closest she’d come to shouting in nearly a decade.

After yelling, Li Ruo suddenly realized…

Lin Liang couldn’t hear her!

Frustrated, she sat back down, grinding her teeth.

She wanted to turn off the video, but in the end, she couldn’t bring herself to do it.

“I want to see how else you’re going to slander me!”

She thought angrily.

Meanwhile, Lin Liang’s sharp commentary continued.

“Of course, Li Ruo didn’t just rise to the top female lead position based purely on her ridiculous brainlessness and good looks…”

“She also happens to be the illegitimate daughter of a top-tier family in the capital… But I’m getting off track. Let’s not discuss that right now!”

Upon hearing this, Li Ruo’s anger immediately dissipated.

“How does he know that?”

She couldn’t help but feel curious.

But then she remembered Lin Liang’s identity and relaxed.

After all, he was someone who could show up in her mind with videos.

It wasn’t strange for him to know her secrets.

“But to get back to the point…”

“Beyond her family background, beauty, and the so-called ‘intelligence’ that exists only in her character description…”

“The reason Li Ruo holds her position as the top female lead is because of her act!”

“Long Haotian is totally into this cold, distant goddess act!”

“It’s all about the thrill of the chase, right?”

Li Ruo’s expression turned icy.

“Lin Liang!”

“You dare to say I’m playing hard to get?!”

She gritted her teeth in fury.

At this moment, she wanted to kick Lin Liang more than Long Haotian had earlier that day!

And if she had the chance…

She wouldn’t aim for the chest—she’d go for the face!

Of course, it was only Li Ruo who was fuming.

The other heroines had no such personal stake, and Lin Liang’s biting humor had them laughing out loud.

Especially Bai Xin!

Having witnessed everything firsthand, she knew…

Li Ruo really didn’t seem to like Long Haotian.

After all, not everyone had acting skills as good as Lin Liang’s.

Especially when she recalled Lin Liang’s earlier excuse.

“My heart belongs only to Li Ruo,” he had said with such conviction that she had nearly believed him!

But now, in his video, he was calling Li Ruo both brainless and fake!

Lin Liang’s acting was truly impressive!

However, Bai Xin didn’t realize…

Her laughter would soon come to a stop as well!

In the video, Lin Liang cleared his throat again.

“So, apart from that bit of the storyline today…”

“Something unexpected happened too!”
