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

Chapter 120

[July 19th, rainy day, but feeling wonderful. Today’s mood is pretty great. Finally, as a daddy, I have nothing to fear; I’m no longer a virgin! Wahahaha!].

Who … who was it? Who the hell was it? Who could be so shameless and brazen?

Only a few people knew this information: Ling Yuyan and Lin Qingyue knew, but Jin Lan had no idea. After reading the message and recalling the diary’s contents, Jin Lan was able to make an educated guess.

It was probably Zhu Yeqing.

With a faint smile, Jin Lan felt a hint of envy towards Zhu Yeqing. If she were bolder, who knows … maybe she’d also have a chance to be with Chen Fan.

He would probably like her, wouldn’t he?

Looking at herself in the mirror, Jin Lan compared her appearance, thinking, I’m a little more attractive than Zhu Yeqing, a bit sexier. Yes, that must be it.

…

[But Cao Zijin is really too much! That woman … I’m starting to worry that the protagonist might not survive much longer.].

[Sigh, how could that woman be so ruthless? If she’s going to set up the protagonist with a man, she could at least … have the protagonist seduce men or something.].

Pfft … Damn.

Jin Lan gave Cao Zijin a thumbs-up. “You’re ruthless!” This level of thinking was beyond her; she could never come up with such a scheme.

To say “damn” would be an understatement. In Jin Lan’s eyes, Cao Zijin was already on a twisted, extreme level.

[Well, it seems Ling Xiaoyun protected the protagonist a little. Sigh, I really wonder how the protagonist will cope when he finds out about this.].

[But calculating the time, the actress from the entertainment circle should be arriving soon. And there’s also the minor villain. This part of the story has little to do with me, hahaha.].

[At ease. It seems the protagonist is going to show up a bunch of “little fresh meat” and deal with some trivial entertainment industry matters. Pretty interesting.].

[Pfft-hahaha, this part of the story is hilarious.].

Interesting? No way this could be interesting. Whenever you start laughing like that, there’s an 80% chance there’s some silly plot involving a female lead.

[The protagonist is taking on a dozen troublemakers by himself, leaving everyone around in awe. The best part is that both Cao Zijin and the other girl think Ye Aotian looks cool, manly, and attractive.].

[Damn it. I’m starting to think the author of this novel is a violent freak who believes that any woman watching a man fight finds it cool.].

[But Cao Zijin and she don’t get along. Well, what does that have to do with me? I’m just here to make a cameo, maybe offer some flowers or something, purely for appearances.].

After finishing his diary entry, Chen Fan awaited his reward.

[Ding! Congratulations, host! You’ve successfully uploaded your diary and received the technique “Heart Demon Incantation.”].

Huh, they’re even giving me a cultivation technique from an anime now?

[Your eyes have started to undergo changes. If you desire, you can use your gaze to render others unconscious. However, if the other party is on an equal level or stronger, the effect will be diminished, though it will still cause a brief delay.].

Damn it! No wonder I had a strange feeling about this technique.

Why didn’t they just call it “hypnosis”? Using some overly refined term like “Heart Demon Incantation” is something even a dog wouldn’t believe. Whatever, since I have it now, I’ll store it like the others. Who knows when it might come in handy in the future? After all, opportunities to use these skills are rare.

That last encounter with Chen Changsheng … it was disappointing. I thought he’d last a bit longer, but alas, he couldn’t.

…

So … will you tell me who she is or not? I have too many enemies in the entertainment industry.

As Cao Zijin ate breakfast, she was visibly frustrated. It was clear that in this plot, she had a lot to deal with.

But can you at least mention who she is?

Based on the description, Cao Zijin could narrow it down to a few people. Typically, her rivals were the type who acted sweet but were actually two-faced.

In the entertainment industry, there were numerous personas to adopt, and the most common are the “sexy” types, typically found among the B-list and C-list actresses.

A-list actresses usually go for a “pure” persona, which has always been a tried-and-true approach.

Some go for the “cute” look, while the occasional “tomboy” is also quite appealing.

But there’s only one “queen,” and that’s Cao Zijin. Of course, that doesn’t stop many women from trying to take her place.

After all, Cao Zijin’s status and popularity were simply unmatched.

Zhu Yeqing finished preparing breakfast and sat down at the table to eat.

“Aren’t you going to wait for Chen Fan?”

“The Young Master will come to eat on his own. He despises being rushed.”

“Oh, come on. So … how did it go? Tell your sister; how did it feel?”

“It was alright … nothing special.”

Just then, Chen Fan coughed.

Damn, what do you mean, “nothing special”? You can destroy my family’s business while pretending to be an insider, but you can’t insult me.

Zhu Yeqing, upon seeing Chen Fan, looked away.

Laughing wildly, Cao Zijin said, “Honey, if we ever divorce, I’m getting half of everything.”

“Oh, really? Why are you already thinking about splitting assets when we’re not even married yet? And by the way, you don’t need to worry so much about my affairs.”

Cao Zijin sighed, saying, “Dear, you’re breaking my heart. You know, it really hurts that you’re with another woman. How could you do this to me, your original wife?”

What the …? Are you kidding me? Is this never going to end?

I’m only following the storyline; I’m not doing it because I’m tempted or anything! You’re so full of nonsense!

“Just finish your meal and get out. Start creating buzz. The company needs you.”

“I know, I’ll do my best, honey. And … do you need me?”

“No, I’m fine on my own. Eating, drinking, and living freely.”

Damn it.

Cao Zijin rolled her eyes and gave Chen Fan the finger before leaving.

Zhu Yeqing glanced at Chen Fan but remained silent.

“What are you looking at? Don’t think that just because we’ve been intimate, you can claim a higher status. Know your place, understood?”

“I … understand, Young Master. I don’t dare expect too much. I’m happy just being by your side as long as it makes you happy.”

Cry, please cry for me. According to the plot, you’re supposed to cry, remorseful and tormented over having relations with your enemy. But instead, you’re secretly thrilled and, damn it, full of lovey-dovey thoughts. What is going on?

While playing a game, Tao Xiaoyao yawned and asked, “Do I need to protect Cao Zijin today?”

“Yes, keep a close eye on her, and watch Ye Aotian too. Understood?”

“Got it.”

At the film set, Cao Zijin arrived and found a spot to rest. Her assistants had also flown in from the capital.

They began the makeup process, preparing her lines, and going through other necessities.

Today, several actresses cast as female leads were also scheduled to appear.

The story was a rather simple tale of love and betrayal set against a backdrop of political conflict. Cao Zijin played the role of the protagonist’s official wife, and the story involved another woman who took care of the warlord protagonist when he was wounded.

Though they initially clashed, they eventually chose to work together in the face of shared grievances.

Together, they decided to aid the warlord, Ye Aotian.
