I Snatched the Male Lead’s “Cool Novel” Script

Synopsis:

Medical student Yan Yu transmigrates into a “stallion novel” (male-power fantasy). Her goal? Save the female lead from being deceived by the scumbag male lead and help her become the Empress.

However, the story starts with a disaster: she transmigrates into a cannon fodder side character who was just caught trying to assassinate the female lead. To make matters worse, her character is terminally ill—basically, she has one foot in the grave.

Yin Beiqing, dressed in crimson robes, reclines on her couch. Her beautiful eyes sweep over Yan Yu as she says indifferently, “Kill her and feed her to the wolves.”

Yin Beiqing expects the sickly woman to cry and beg for mercy. Instead, Yan Yu straightens her back, meets her gaze with clear eyes, and says, “If you kill me, you will definitely regret it.”

Legend says there is a Goddess who is omnipotent. Yin Beiqing, plagued by a mysterious illness, has been searching for her for a long time. Yan Yu, armed with her knowledge of the plot, begins her act:

“Yes, I am that legendary Goddess.”

“That Secret Manual you want? I know where it is.”

“The Divine Doctor who can cure your old illness? We’re best friends.”

“Ancient treasures and holy weapons? I know the way to all of them.”

“Most importantly, your fated death-tribulation is a certain man!”

Later, she joins forces with the female lead to intercept all of the male lead’s “golden fingers” (power-ups) and block his path to leveling up. Pointing at him, she says, “That’s him. Your death-tribulation.”

In the original novel, the female lead supposedly falls in love with him at first sight. Yan Yu worries Yin Beiqing won’t be able to pull the trigger. But when they meet the “handsome and dashing” male lead, he turns out to be a shifty-eyed, short, “average-but-confident” loser.

Yin Beiqing doesn’t even blink: “I’ll cut him down right now.”

The more Yan Yu plays the “Goddess,” the guiltier she feels. Yin Beiqing doesn’t just trust her; she treats her far too well—giving her the Mark of Langdie Valley, forming a life-binding blood contract of eternal devotion, and even risking her life to protect her.

Yan Yu: “I’m sorry, I’m actually not a Goddess.”

Yin Beiqing: “No, you are.”

Later, during the Spirit Master entrance exam, Yan Yu is attacked by evil spirits and falls into a coma. But in front of everyone, she suddenly recovers with full health—revealing a pair of dazzling golden pupils.

Yan Yu: “…Wait, am I actually a Goddess?”
