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

“I get what you mean. You’re asking me to be a spy, right?”
“Yes. Of course, how you interact with him, how much contact you have, and how close you get is up to you. But once Ye Aotian starts rising, I don’t think he can be stopped.”
Jin Lan nodded. That was inevitable—after all, he was the protagonist.
“Mm, I understand. Don’t worry, I’ll follow your plan in this matter. But just because I’m listening to you doesn’t mean I’m admitting defeat.”


Cao Zijin said, “Honestly, I kind of wish you were my opponent. It would be much more fun that way. Too bad. If it weren’t for my husband, I wouldn’t even bother with you.”
Jin Lan stood up and said, “Mm, I won’t eat anything then.”
“Eat a little, there’s no rush. Chen Fan is upstairs drinking tea. You can find him on the balcony later.”
“He … won’t listen to me.”
Cao Zijin leaned in and whispered something into Jin Lan’s ear.
Jin Lan asked, “Is this really appropriate?”
“It’s accurate. My man—I know him best.”
Liu Feifei looked at the bone in her hand with a miserable expression. “What are you guys talking about? I want to know too! How about I share my bones with you, and you tell me?”
But both of them remained silent.














After reading the diary, several female leads smiled helplessly.
Chen Fan really had it tough, getting stuck with so many female leads who refused to play by the rules. He was probably exhausted and just wanted to die by now.
At that moment, Jin Lan opened the door, stepped onto the balcony, and sat beside Chen Fan.
“Do you really hate me that much?”
“I don’t. It was just a misunderstanding. Now that I know it was a misunderstanding, I don’t mind anymore.”
“Oh? Really? But from the look in your eyes, it still seems like you dislike me.”
Of course, Chen Fan disliked her. She was a key character in the plot—if she messed up, he wouldn’t be able to return.
“Would you really be willing to let go?”
Actually, what Jin Lan was asking was: “Are you really willing to go back? Won’t you miss us? Won’t you miss me? Won’t you miss all of us?”
But what Chen Fan heard was: “Are you really willing to stop contacting me?”
“It’s not that I’m willing … it’s just … I already said it was a misunderstanding. I always thought you were helping Ye Aotian, but now I realize he made it on his own. I feel like I failed.”
Jin Lan said, “That doesn’t sound like you.”


“I was just saying … I just didn’t expect him to improve so quickly. But it’s fine. Since he’s my opponent, it wouldn’t be good if he was too weak.”
Jin Lan said, “Mm. I thought you would be worried. But I still want to know—why didn’t you trust me?”
“I … don’t know.”
Chen Fan was completely out of words. Every time these female leads started improvising, he had to adjust his lines accordingly. But there were too many changes, and even he couldn’t keep up.
“We’ve worked together for so long, and you don’t trust me? Do you really have so little faith in me?”
“I didn’t … I was just confused.”
Jin Lan stood up and sat directly on Chen Fan’s lap. She said, “Look at me. Don’t turn away.”
“I’m looking. I didn’t turn away.”
“Look at me with your eyes.”
“I’m looking … Why are you crying?”
Jin Lan said, “Maybe it’s because of the wind … Um … I think I like you now.”


“I … don’t know what to say.”
“What you say has nothing to do with me. I am who I am. I have my work, and I still need to climb higher. My dream is to advance in my career. If you want me to settle down and be a housewife, that’s impossible.”


“I can be your spy.”


“You … are you serious?”
“Yes, I’m serious. Why? Ye Aotian’s development will definitely involve me. He’s already driving the city’s growth, boosting the economy, and even stabilizing the underworld. Naturally, we’ll cross paths. A lot of people are already speaking up for him.”
“Mm … And you being a spy means?”
“If I get any intel, I think I’ll tell you. But of course, how much I tell you depends on my mood.”








“Alright. It’s up to you.”
Jin Lan reached out, pinched Chen Fan’s face, and said, “Remember, me liking you is my business. Whether you like me or not is yours. You can reject me if you want, but it doesn’t matter. I’ll still keep my right to like you.”


“Cao Zijin! I’m going to kill you!” Chen Fan roared. There wasn’t much guessing needed this had to be that woman’s ridiculous idea.
Jin Lan said, “Don’t bother her. This was my own decision.”
