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

“What do you think of Zheng Shaoyang?”
“Talented, ambitious. I can sense his resentment toward me. I’ve known from the beginning.”
Xiao Lan looked at Ye Aotian, worried.
Ye Aotian continued, “But I believe he’ll still end up under my control. People like him always do. I believe in my ability to manipulate people.”
Xiao Lan let out a sigh of relief. He hadn’t discovered anything. Oddly, she found this whole situation somewhat enjoyable.
According to the author, Xiao Lan was initially intended as a foil to Lin Qingyue. But when Xiao Lan actively offered herself to Ye Aotian, she even mentioned that she wasn’t a virgin anymore. At that time, Ye Aotian, in his haste, ignored everything and went for it.
When Chen Fan read that part, he was shocked for a year. But as for Xiao Lan, Chen Fan didn’t care. He assumed that if she’d taken the initiative, she must enjoy competition, possession, and excitement.
Unfortunately, Chen Fan didn’t know all of this. Right now, he was facing a very important decision. The campus arc was about to begin, involving elements of traditional Chinese medicine — a foundation for the protagonist to grow stronger and gain support.
Though the protagonist’s scenes here included Chen Fan, they weren’t particularly significant. The protagonist’s main task was seducing girls, creating shockwaves at the school, gaining recognition from influential people, joining the Chinese Medicine Association, and revolutionizing certain Chinese medicine treatments.
None of this had much to do with Chen Fan.
Chen Fan looked at Zhu Yeqing in front of him.
“Sleepwalking?”
“No … young master, why are you still up so late?”
For a moment,
“Just thinking about things, company matters. Ye Aotian hit us hard this time; the company lost a lot of money.”
Zhu Yeqing moved closer to Chen Fan, saying, “Young master, if you’re troubled, you can talk to me. I’m here to listen.”
The subtext was,
Chen Fan looked at her, muttering to himself.
.
Normally,
“Did you have a nightmare?”
“Yes, I did. In my dream, I saw you leaving me, young master, and I got scared.”
Chen Fan sighed and made room for her.
Zhu Yeqing nestled into Chen Fan’s embrace.
“Sleep well, don’t worry. As long as I’m here, you won’t suffer again.”
“Yes, I understand. Thank you, young master. You’re so good to me.”
Chen Fan sighed in relief and hurried to sleep. There were far too many strange things today; maybe he should find someone to check if his recent luck was off.
“Young master, you really won’t lose your temper?”
“Go to sleep.”
***
At dawn, Chen Fan, who was accustomed to waking up early, sighed helplessly as he looked at Zhu Yeqing sleeping peacefully beside him. As expected, something seemed off with her character setting. He suspected that there had to be some underlying plot. Zhu Yeqing was probably planning something against him.
Recently, Ye Aotian had suffered serious injuries, and she knew that such an ally couldn’t be relied upon. So, she decided to lower his guard first, then perhaps eventually target his family in revenge.
There was no flaw in his thinking. But even so, he had tasks that still needed to be done.
Chen Fan opened his computer and began writing today’s journal entry, recording his thoughts and claiming his reward.
As the female leads ate breakfast, they habitually began to feel a headache.
Every time certain words appeared in his journal, they felt an inexplicable sense of embarrassment.
They were beginning to suspect that other women probably had access to the journal as well, because if only they had it, their character settings wouldn’t have deviated so much.
But the character settings of other female leads were also off, judging by Chen Fan’s sarcastic remarks. They could more or less guess who was deviating.
Tao Xiaoyao was practicing martial arts in the courtyard when she read this entry. She considered storming into Chen Fan’s room and killing him on the spot. This guy really had a sharp tongue; he was just asking for a beating.
Tao Xiaoyao was dumbfounded.
She and her daughter were worlds apart; no mother would want her daughter to date a penniless guy.
Tao Xiaoyao burst into Chen Fan’s bedroom, staring him down.
