Villain – Peeking at the Diary, the Female Leads’ Personas Collapse

Chapter 100

“So am I. Without my family’s support, what would I be? How could I have my current achievements? Why should my family be looked down upon? I’m asking you, has Chen Fan ever done anything wrong?”

“Not that I know of.”

“Has he ever harmed anyone? Picked a fight with anyone? Targeted our company?”

“No, he hasn’t.”

“Did he ever force me into anything? No, right? And let me ask you, have you heard about the story of him as a ‘pure-hearted man’—someone who likes me, pursues me, and exercises a lot of self-control? As a woman, why wouldn’t I like him?”

Damn, now that you put it that way, it really does seem that way. This guy is the ultimate good man, isn’t he?

In fact, fiction is fiction, and reality is reality. Just like in many TV dramas where the villain was a rich kid, the so-called villain’s only crime was liking the female lead. If that were the case, what’s wrong with him? Simply because he was cast as a villain?

“Conversely, Ye Aotian would sleep with Xiao Lan if given a chance. If a guy pursuing you was also with any woman who came his way, how would you feel?”

“I’d feel disgusted. I wouldn’t be able to stand it. I’d feel that his pursuit of me was an insult.”

“If you understand, then go and execute my orders.”

The secretary nodded and left the room, picking up her phone.

“The boss says Ye Aotian has to be permanently injured, specifically with two broken legs. That’s non-negotiable.”

Meanwhile, the play was completely mind-bending for countless people in the audience, who felt their worldview being overturned. The love-hate relationship between Snow White and the witch was clearly beginning to defy humanity. Yet the story that followed was even more absurd.

Snow White ran away and went searching for her love. Later, during a break, she met the Prince, and they hit it off instantly.

“Oh, my dear Princess, you must be the most beautiful woman in the world.”

“Oh, dear Prince, you too are very handsome.”

Girl, your lines aren’t as cool as mine! Why did I suddenly think of, “Big brother, your armor doesn’t look as good as mine”?

Chen Fan cleared his mind of all these chaotic thoughts and said, “Oh, may I become your knight?”

“Sure!” Saying this, Chen Fan kissed the back of Mu Jinli’s hand.

Yes, that’s the way it should be.

Then Mu Jinli cupped Chen Fan’s face and kissed him on the cheek.

This completely startled Chen Fan.

You … taking advantage of me, you shameless woman, you absolutely shameless!

The club president watching backstage was stunned too. Whoa, I only gave you the plot; you’re actually going through with it?

Then the two of them walked over to a bed on stage.

The curtains were drawn, and then the bed began to shake.

“Hahahahaha!”

The teachers watching in the audience chuckled. These kids were really pushing the limits.

Ling Yuyan clapped for the club president, impressed. “You’re bold. Really bold.”

The scene had barely begun, and already she was eager to see the main character defeated; it almost felt like she was the real female lead here. And then came the funny part. Because the props were made by the drama club, they weren’t exactly top quality.

And sure enough, the bed collapsed. Everyone burst into laughter. It was obvious what everyone was thinking.

Chen Fan, lying awkwardly on top of Mu Jinli, supported himself with his hands. Mu Jinli’s face instantly flushed. This scene was supposed to be just a show of intimacy, nothing more.

Who would have thought it would turn out like this?

Lousy props! If you didn’t have the budget, you could’ve asked me for money. I’d have given it to you to get something decent.

Chen Fan quickly got up, helped Mu Jinli to her feet, and they bowed to the audience before running off stage.

It was time for the next scene.

Ye Aotian, watching this scene, gritted his teeth. He had been telling himself that he would end up with Mu Jinli in the end, but the events unfolding were hard to stomach, leaving him feeling a little green with envy.

But he still had to carry on.

Ye Aotian, torn with anguish, took the stage, expressing his love for the princess, all while recalling the previous scene.

The audience was speechless. The club president must have some unique hobbies.

Backstage, Chen Fan and Mu Jinli were sitting, drinking water, waiting for the final wrap-up.

“Hahaha, I can’t stop laughing. How did the bed even break? Was that … an unplanned extra?”

“I don’t know. Maybe they didn’t calculate the weight right. We’re not an engineering college. Getting this far is already impressive.”

“True, but that scene was hilarious. If I were the witch, I’d be crying right now.”

On stage, Ye Aotian knelt, looking up at the sky, crying.

Whoa, did he get too into it?

Just then, artificial snowflakes started falling from the roof. Chen Fan perked up. He knew this scene very well. Really well.

Damn it, this scene … is it time for Yijian Mei*? Why am I hearing the music in my head already?

[TN: The term is also the title of a famous Chinese song called “一剪梅 (Yījiǎn Méi)” by singer Fei Yu-ching (费玉清). This song became very popular in China, especially after its use in various internet memes and viral videos. The song’s melody and lyrics are often interpreted as expressing deep longing, nostalgia, or romantic feelings. It gained a surge in popularity in 2020 due to a meme known as “Xue Hua Piao Piao”, based on a line from the song (“雪花飘飘, 北风萧萧,” meaning “Snowflakes drift, the north wind blows”)]

At that moment, a butler entered the stage, gently placing a blanket over Ye Aotian.

Perfect, just perfect. Chen Fan looked at the president. “Are you a transmigrator too?”

The audience was on the verge of hysterical laughter.

The play wasn’t over yet, though; the butler’s purpose was to remind Ye Aotian to stop acting and get on with the next scene.

The next part was simple.

The apple scene, where Snow White falls, and then Chen Fan’s Prince saves her. Afterward, Snow White leaves the Prince to reunite with the Queen. But this ending gave the audience a sense of abruptness, almost as if it were forced. Yet, in the final scene, when Mu Jinli and Chen Fan met again in the forest, everyone instantly understood.

The president had added this part on the spot; he figured Snow White should end up with the Prince rather than the witch.

The story finally concluded.

Chen Fan sighed with relief. Man, that was chaotic. Total nonsense, but it was fun.

Still, he had to stir up some trouble.

If he didn’t provoke the main character, how would they end up fighting?

Chen Fan boldly put his arm around Mu Jinli and said, “Ye Aotian, your performance was great.”

Ye Aotian glared at him. “What, you’ve resorted to being a loudmouth?”

“Yeah, so what? Think you can take me on?”

Ye Aotian chuckled coldly. “I wouldn’t bother dirtying my hands on you.”

Chen Fan sneered, leaning closer to Ye Aotian and whispering, “Actually, behind the curtains just now, I snuck a little touch. I must say, Mu Jinli has a fantastic figure. Just amazing.”

“Ahhhh!”

What is a main character? A main character is someone who will claim any woman he has his eye on as his own. Whether anything happened or not, she’s his woman.

“You … you’re asking for it!”

Ye Aotian charged at Chen Fan, prepared to punch him.
