Chapter 99
A sketch comedy? Chen Fan’s interest was piqued. What happened to the literary tone?
When Mu Jinli glanced around, the only free guy left was Chen Fan. If she played Snow White, then Chen Fan would be her prince, which seemed far better than Ye Aotian in the role.
“Okay, I’ll be Snow White. Who will play the prince?”
All at once, a bunch of guys raised their hands eagerly, shouting, “Me! Me! I’ll do it!”
Mu Jinli was speechless. Were they all rivals?
Just then, a voice said, “I’ll do it.”
Ye Aotian had arrived, walking up to Mu Jinli.
She practically saw stars from frustration. Damn it, Ling Yuyan! Why did you call him? Couldn’t I have one peaceful night?
Chen Fan looked at Ye Aotian and sneered, “You? Worthy of the role?”
Ye Aotian countered, “Oh, and you think you are? Do you even know anything about drama?”
“Even if I know nothing, I’m still better than you. Don’t worry; I’ll play the prince.”
Chen Fan’s thoughts raced. Choose him, hurry up. Just choose him already!
Mu Jinli fixed a stare on the club president. “I think Chen Fan would be more suitable as the prince.”
You’ve got to be kidding me.
Chen Fan nearly cursed in frustration. Ye Aotian looked at Mu Jinli, a mix of shock and confusion. Was the Chen family’s influence truly so powerful that even here, on school grounds, she would still follow their orders? Protecting a bad guy—was it worth it?
“Actually, Ye Aotian, there’s still another role we need help with,” the club president chimed in.
“What role?”
“We need a witch. You’d just need a bit of makeup; it’s no big deal, right?”
Chen Fan nearly burst out laughing. This time, screw the plot—let me enjoy this moment first.
Even Mu Jinli couldn’t hold back her laughter.
Ye Aotian, looking at her, smiled wistfully. “So, you can laugh. You look beautiful when you do.”
Ugh, these classic melodrama lines! It’d been ages since Chen Fan had heard such cringe-worthy dialogue. Though the timing was a bit awkward, it somehow still felt cool. After all, he was the protagonist.
“By the way, just so you know, in the story, Snow White and the witch end up together in the end.”
What?!
Mu Jinli was floored.
What was that supposed to mean? Snow White ends up with the witch? What kind of storyline was this?
***
Upon hearing the entire plot, not only was Chen Fan stunned, but Mu Jinli and Ye Aotian, who were there, were equally dumbfounded.
“Whoa, are you a genius or what?” Chen Fan exclaimed.
The club president replied, “You guys didn’t know the plot, do you?”
All three shook their heads.
How the heck would they know?
Who could have imagined that the story was like this? Snow White was actually in love with the Queen, but they couldn’t be together because of societal pressures.
In the end, Snow White left.
Later, she met the 7 Dwarfs in the forest.
Yes, the 7 Dwarfs. The Queen confronted Snow White again, asking why they couldn’t be together, only to find that Snow White was already living with the Prince.
Their days were filled with sweetness.
Then the Queen, disguised as a witch, gave Snow White a poisoned apple.
In the end, Snow White fell.
The Prince kissed Snow White and woke her up, but Snow White, missing the witch, went back to her.
What the heck! This plot is so wild that if you didn’t include a battle with the Spider Spirit, it wouldn’t do justice to this brainchild of yours.
Chen Fan was utterly disappointed with this world.
Are you seriously telling the main character that you’re going to cuck right in front of his face? No wonder so many people want to be the Prince; what the heck, this is a low-budget fairy tale. If a “pure love” enthusiast saw this, they would be absolutely devastated. Come on, this plot actually lined up?
In fact, Chen Fan was worried before coming here. He even considered calling the main character and telling him, “You better come; I’m on a date with your girlfriend, and she’s amazing.”
But he dismissed the idea, as it would be a dead giveaway that he was a transmigrator, wouldn’t it? But if he didn’t say anything, would this part of the plot still happen?
Chen Fan had two plans in mind: even if the scene didn’t play out, he still needed to provoke the main character. After all, how else would the main character shine? A main character without a dramatic entrance wasn’t a main character.
But now that the plot was actually falling into place, Chen Fan initially thought, if he was truly playing the Prince, wouldn’t this become his storyline?
However, when he found out it was Ye Aotian and Mu Jinli together, he understood.
This setup would surely fuel the main character’s hatred. Indeed, the world’s revisions are perfect—this enmity is guaranteed to be intense.
“All right, now that everyone’s familiar with their lines, let’s go on stage and perform. Remember to act well.”
This is a play that even dogs wouldn’t want to act in.
With no other choice, Mu Jinli reluctantly agreed.
Everyone changed into their costumes, and Chen Fan sat in the backstage, as the first half of the play had nothing to do with him. Watching it was quite amusing.
The narration began.
“In the forest lived 7 lively dwarves …”
Then, familiar music began playing, and many students in the audience burst out laughing, unabashedly enjoying themselves.
Who knew the drama club was this awesome?
As the narration continued, the two female leads, Ye Aotian and Mu Jinli, entered the stage.
“We can never be together.”
When Ye Aotian, dressed as a witch, appeared, the audience erupted.
Everyone started cheering, “Wow! Who knew it would be a love story between Snow White and the witch?”
“But I love you deeply.”
Ye Aotian said with such sincerity that Chen Fan, watching backstage, nearly laughed out loud. Is this the world’s revision at work? Just to make the main character confess? What a tough role you’re in.
Meanwhile, Ling Yuyan, watching from the audience, was perplexed and began to think hard, but she just couldn’t figure it out. This scene was actually being broadcast internally, so only a few people were watching. It was mostly shared among students. But a few other female leads had found the livestream.
Lin Xinyue watched, glancing at Ye Aotian dressed as the witch, muttering to herself, “Seriously? This is allowed?”
While reviewing her observation notes, Lin Qingyue realized that when the pairing was made, it wasn’t the two characters being together. That’s when she sensed the plot was already changing.
Lin Qingyue knew these female characters from the diary very well.
If Mu Jinli still chose to be with Ye Aotian after reading the diary, then there was seriously something wrong with her brain.
But she hadn’t expected the plot to unfold like this. If the donation channel were open, she would have to throw in a lot of money.
But there was still business to attend to.
“Did you find the people?”

The new secretary nodded. “Yes, we arranged for two very strong individuals to get in through some connections.”
“Good. Make sure they go all out, ideally leaving him with permanent damage—as long as he doesn’t die.”
“Understood. Um, boss, may I ask a question without seeming too presumptuous?”
“Speak.”
“Why do you hate Ye Aotian so much? Weren’t you always annoyed with Chen Fan?”
Your logic is …
Lin Qingyue responded, “Give me a reason not to like Chen Fan.”
“Well, he … isn’t he just a rich kid living off his family’s wealth? Why would you …?”
