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

“Call you ‘Mom’? In your dreams. I’d never do that.” Chen Fan’s first reaction upon waking was to complain about Ling Yuyan. Last night, she had brought an exam paper to him, claiming that he could have it if he’d call her ‘Mom’ just once.
Chen Fan ignored this nonsense, dismissing it as an act of adding drama for no reason. But it confirmed something—today was indeed the end of the campus arc.
What’s the next storyline? Chen Fan thought back for a moment, and it suddenly became clear: the next plot would return to the main storyline.
Mu Jinli, reading this diary entry, was dumbfounded. The campus arc was ending, and she was wrapped up. What did that mean?
Lin Qingyue chuckled; did they think her status as the primary female lead was a joke? This little girl thought she could be a threat?
Zhu Yeqing’s cheeks flushed as she read this part. Going dark? That sounded intriguing.
Everyone was shocked, unable to believe their eyes.
Lin Qingyue grew anxious.
Everyone wore confused expressions.
At this point, a few of the female leads began to understand. Simply put, this was a case of arranged marriage where neither party was willing. Eventually, Chen Fan’s behavior pushed her to rebel, leading to the complete takeover of the Chen family. They had initially thought the Chen family’s downfall would be caused by Ye Aotian, but apparently not. The Chen family would survive, but the people would change.
At this point, the diary abruptly ended, leaving everyone intrigued by the unusual absence of further plot details.
“Could it be that today is just an uneventful day?” Everyone watched with a peculiar anticipation.
But what happened next was even stranger.
???
Everyone looked alert.
With the diary entry complete, Chen Fan went off to take his exam.
Today, he had to face the fact that his company’s stock was plummeting, and he needed to manage his emotions to align with the protagonist’s performance.
Well, Chen Fan might be unsure, but everyone else could see it clearly. This was definitely an antagonist, targeting the lead female lead. What else could she be?

Meanwhile, the woman on the set, upon reading the diary, angrily overturned everything on the table. Her role … was this miserable?
Wasn’t she supposed to be one of those lovable characters in a novel, where the female star and the male lead fall in love, and he rescues her on set? But here, she was an antagonist, someone who got beaten up daily and only managed to rise up much later. And she had to support Chen Fan every day?
Chen Fan’s exam didn’t last long; the questions were straightforward enough for him. And soon after, he left the school with Zhu Yeqing. Tao Xiaoyao naturally followed them. Whether she’d connect with Ye Aotian later was beyond Chen Fan’s concern.
“Why are you all acting like pigs? I got my certificate, and yet the company’s stock hasn’t risen?” At nine in the morning, during a company meeting, Chen Fan was in a fit of rage.
The employees were too scared to look at him directly. A newcomer finally stood up and said, “Boss, Ye Aotian’s company released the longevity soup, and the response has been very positive.”
“What happened to the research department? With all the money we spend on you every month, are you good for nothing?”
The company was on the brink of collapse, and if nothing changed, it would go bankrupt. But Chen Fan, this ‘level-up character,’ couldn’t let the company fail just yet.
The reason the company had to survive? The celebrity endorsement.
This upcoming female celebrity, with her endorsement, would push the company into a new phase. The pharmaceutical company would pivot to beauty products.
And the company’s closure? That would mark their wedding.
By then, Chen Fan would be required to take over a new company and once again serve as a stepping stone for the protagonist.
“Enough, I don’t want explanations! I’m tired of hearing that so many of you can’t take down a single Ye Aotian. Were you raised on pig slop?”
Returning to his office, Chen Fan, in a fit of rage, smashed his computer. The vase.  The watch.
This scene was meant for him to act out.
Zhu Yeqing looked at Chen Fan with an eager expression.
Chen Fan noticed her unusual expression.
What was she doing? That expectant look—what was she thinking?
