Yan Yue’s lips slowly straightened, and her expression became serious.

The investigation results clearly exceeded 666’s expectations. It was so unexpected that 666 reported with righteous indignation: “You made me crack that account, and finally, I did it. But can you guess who this person is? Boss, you’ll never believe it!”

666 grumbled and complained for a while before finally telling Yan Yue who the person in the original host’s virtual friend list was. The answer was indeed surprising to Yan Yue, as this person was completely outside her expectations. It seemed that the original host had triggered a hidden thread not explicitly explained in the original novel.

In the original novel, after the female lead, Su Manman, went through hardships and secured the first place in the competition to enter the Imperial Entertainment Network’s special editing department, the author seemingly remembered that they were writing a romance channel, not a no-couple (無cp) one. So, in the end, the author hastily added two romance threads to create a thrilling and unexpected twist for readers.

Yes, there were originally two romance threads in the original novel. The author, driven by current trends, combined them, resulting in one thread being the female lead with the overbearing president and the other being a reunion with the female lead’s ex-boyfriend, creating a chaotic and exciting climax for the readers.

Before entering the book world, 666 summarized the world based on reader ratings:

In terms of career: Brainlessly beating face.

In terms of relationships: Better off without them.

And now, the discovered hidden thread was related to one of the male leads from the romance threads. Although Yan Yue didn’t understand why this person was doing this, his intentions were clear.

This “friend” didn’t want Su Manman to win.

Now, this hidden thread was even involving the original host. Yan Yue was forced to get involved and deal with this so-called “friend.”

While Yan Yue was pondering how to handle this situation, her prey seemed to have voluntarily presented itself…

Perhaps this “friend” was also very surprised. He didn’t expect Yan Yue to reach the semi-finals without his “help.” Furthermore, he probably didn’t anticipate that Yan Yue, seemingly uncontrolled, would act like a prophet, bringing the drama’s plot into reality. Yan Yue not only boosted her work’s popularity but also significantly increased her personal visibility on the show. Now, she was clearly the most talked-about contestant on “The Strongest Scriptwriter.” Eight out of ten trending topics about the show were related to her!

For this “friend,” this meant that Yan Yue’s chances of winning had gone from almost nil to fifty percent. This was undoubtedly a good thing for him. However, every advantage came with a disadvantage. Yan Yue’s current popularity was not something he had given to her. He feared that Yan Yue might soar to great heights because of this and forget about him, the “benefactor” who had once helped her get into the top twelve, and more importantly, she might forget their initial “agreement.”

So, after the broadcast of “逃婚,” he took the initiative to send a message to congratulate her, and Yan Yue responded.

She replied: 【1】

Him: ?

He felt that their conversations had become strange since the incident where he provided her with Su Manman’s identity card. He scrolled through their chat history and found:

Him: 【You’re doing well.】

Yan Yue: 【…】

Him: 【Don’t let your guard down. Remember your goal.】

Yan Yue: 【…】

Him: 【I didn’t expect you to know about the Ye family’s matters. Well, I underestimated you.】

Yan Yue: 【.】

Him: 【I didn’t expect you to actually make it to the semi-finals. I knew I didn’t make a mistake.】

Yan Yue: 【1】

After reviewing the chat history, he murmured, “…”

He hadn’t paid much attention before because he rarely took Yan Yue’s responses seriously. What she replied didn’t matter; all that mattered was if she could complete the tasks he assigned to her. In his eyes, he didn’t really care about Yan Yue. Moreover, if Yan Yue didn’t perform well, he had other plans. As an insider in this matter, if she couldn’t work for him, he would find another way to deal with her.

However, the current situation was a bit tricky. He gradually sensed that Yan Yue was becoming uncontrollable, and her performance on the show was genuinely outstanding. What’s more, he heard that she had formed a close bond with Su Manman and her group. Given these circumstances, Yan Yue might betray him!

After considering various factors, he realized that merely pressuring Yan Yue through the internet was no longer effective. He needed to remind her in person and ensure that she didn’t forget their original agreement! If she truly intended to turn against him, he had no qualms about discarding this pawn. Moreover, he could take this opportunity, before Su Manman likely entered the special editing department, to make Yan Yue withdraw voluntarily.

After carefully planning, he contacted the production team of “The Strongest Scriptwriter”…

So, on this Friday, “The Strongest Scriptwriter” released an advance teaser for the upcoming episode, announcing a mysterious guest!

The production team provided a silhouette image of the mysterious guest, and the internet exploded upon seeing it!

【Am I seeing things correctly?? Is my husband going to be a guest on “The Strongest Scriptwriter” as a flying guest???】

【Ah! It’s my Yang Bian! I could recognize him even if he turned into ashes!】

【What?!! The production team actually managed to get Yang Xin? Even though he’s a special scriptwriter for Emperor Entertainment Network, it’s still difficult to schedule him, right? Maybe the CEO of Emperor Entertainment Network personally invited Yang Xin to appear on the show, hahaha. After all, it’s really hard to book him!】

【Yang Bian only writes one drama a year! But that one drama can sustain him for several lifetimes! His debut work, “Asking the Heart,” still hasn’t been surpassed by anyone, right? It’s the only perfect score work in the film and television industry!】

【I got into the “Asking the Heart” fandom. Yang Bian is in a league of his own in the scriptwriting world. He’s been imitated but never surpassed. His debut work made him a legend, and his subsequent works have only risen in quality. It’s safe to say he’s a genius scriptwriter!】

【Folks, you see his works, but I only see the beauty of my husband! Yang Bian is not only incredibly talented, but he also has an amazing face! I even suspect that when Yan Jie created Gu Ze in “Interstellar Temptation,” she modeled him after Yang Bian, hahaha. When I saw Gu Ze for the first time, my immediate reaction was: Wow! Husband, what are you doing here?! He really looks like him! Yan Jie, you should come clean. Are you also a fan of Yang Bian? @Yan Yue】

【Hahaha, it’s normal for Yan Jie to be a fan of Yang Bian. Haven’t you seen the interviews with students from the Film and Television Academy’s scriptwriting department? Many of them are Yang Bian’s fans! His talent is an absolute halo, combined with Yang Bian’s personal charm and his clean image, it’s really hard not to love him!】

In the comments section of the production team’s official announcement of the mysterious guest, almost everyone immediately recognized the figure in the poster as the current top scriptwriter in the industry, Yang Xin, who was a special scriptwriter for Emperor Entertainment Network’s most popular scriptwriting department!

Yang Xin has been in the industry for five years now, rising to fame with his debut work, “Asking the Heart.” His life has been like a fairy tale since then, with all his works becoming box office hits and his personal life full of interesting encounters.

Yan Yue also joined in on the excitement and went to the post. She couldn’t help but notice that Yang Xin’s life seemed almost too perfect. If Su Manman weren’t the female lead in this world, she would have thought that Yang Xin was the “big female lead” of this world.

“Debuting with ‘Asking the Heart’ and instantly becoming a legend, then being invited as a special scriptwriter by Emperor Entertainment Network. Not long after that, many bio-android companies approached him for collaboration, including the CEO of the famous XX Bio-Android Group personally visiting him. After the bio-android incident, numerous advertisers also extended olive branches to Yang Xin. However, our husband remained focused on his writing and turned down all advertisers. Seeing this, the advertisers not only didn’t get angry but publicly praised our husband for his integrity. The CEO of XX Advertising even said in an interview that businessmen with a tinge of copper smell like him were not worthy of collaborating with someone as noble as Yang Bian…”

Yan Yue read out loud the content that Yang Xin’s fans had compiled in the post. To prove their claims, they even posted an interview with the advertising company.

After reading the interview, even 666 fell silent…

666: 【Boss, this Yang Xin seems a lot like Emperor Aotian from “Escape 99 Times,” doesn’t he?】

It felt like people who got close to him were inexplicably having their IQs lowered…

Yan Yue furrowed her brows and continued reading. The more she read, the more she felt that Yang Xin’s luck was unbelievably good!

Given this kind of luck, he was like the typical Mary Sue protagonist. However, in the original novel, Yang Xin was just an ex-boyfriend who was pulled into the story to create a romantic plot twist at the very end.

Now, she had triggered an undisclosed subplot related to Yang Xin in this world. The question was, why did Yang Xin use the original host’s hand to plot against Su Manman?

In the original novel, he had a romantic storyline with Su Manman, and in the grand finale, he pursued her in a heartbreaking scene that left readers in tears. People who bought his stock were nearly equal to those who bought Emperor Aotian’s stock. If that was the case, why didn’t he want Su Manman to win in this hidden subplot? Did they have some misunderstanding before their breakup? Or did Yang Xin have some hidden agenda? Or… was Yang Xin afraid? Afraid that Su Manman would enter Emperor Entertainment Network and become a special scriptwriter?
