- #1“DAY 1: SCRIPT FORMAT Scene 1: The Transmigration Location: A generic, dimly lit office room in Italy / Transition to Incheon Airport, South Korea. Time: Night / Dawn. (The scene starts with a surreal, blinding flash of light. The text of a web novel floats in the air before dissolving into particles.) GIO (V.O.) I was just a normal guy reading a cliché romance-revenge novel. The next thing I knew, the universe glitched. I didn't wake up as the wealthy, arrogant Hero. I woke up as a nameless, background side-character. An Italian corporate lackey sent to Korea on a minor business trip. (Gio opens his eyes. He is standing in the bustling terminal of Incheon International Airport. He is dressed in a sharp but unbranded suit. He looks at his reflection in a glass window.) GIO (Muttering to himself, touching his face) I'm really inside the book. Twenty-three years old... Giovanni Rossi. They think I'm just a low-level translator. (Gio pulls out a high-tech, encrypted smartphone. The screen displays a banking app showing an astronomical balance with the Rossi Family crest.) GIO (Smirks) Let the main characters fight for their petty spotlights. I'll keep my billions hidden. I just need to survive this plot. Scene 2: The Neon Alleyways of Seoul Location: A rain-slicked side street in Gangnam, Seoul. Time: Late Night. (Gio is walking back to his modest rented apartment after a long day of pretending to do menial corporate work. The neon lights flicker. The sound of heavy rain starts to fall.) GIO (Pulling up his collar) The novel mentioned this neighborhood. This is where the Villain's syndicate usually operates in the early chapters. Better keep my head down. (As he passes a dark alleyway next to a massive commercial dumpster (dustbin), a faint, weak crying sound catches his attention.) GIO (Stops walking) A cat? No... that sounds human. (Gio steps into the dim alleyway. The rain pours down. He approaches the large green dumpster. He lifts the heavy lid. Inside, tucked away from the rain in a cardboard box, are three infant baby girls.) GIO (Gasping, eyes wide) What the... This wasn't in the novel's first chapter. (He looks closer. One baby girl opens her eyes—they are clear and bright (Eun-ji, the future Heroine). Next to her are twin baby girls wrapped together, looking up with fierce, quiet expressions (Seo-ah and Na-yeon, the future villains).) GIO (Shocked) Wait. The silver locket... the crescent birthmark on the twins... No way. The novel's future Heroine and the ultimate Villainesses were abandoned in the same trash bin as infants?”
- #2“Scene 3: The Choice of a Shadow Billionaire Location: The Alleyway / Inside Gio’s Luxury SUV (Hidden around the corner). Time: Night. (Gio stands in the rain, looking at the three abandoned babies. In the original novel, the villainesses were found by criminals, turning them evil, while the heroine suffered in poverty.) GIO If I leave them, the plot stays on track. The Heroine suffers, the Villains become monsters, and the story repeats its tragedy. (The twin babies suddenly grip Gio's finger with surprising strength. The future heroine lets out a soft, warm coo.) GIO (A determined smile breaks across his face) Screw the original plot. I have more money than the entire Korean economy combined. (Gio carefully scoops up the box containing all three baby girls. He walks out of the alley to a sleek, blacked-out luxury SUV waiting at the corner. His loyal Italian security guard, Marco, opens the door, stunned.) MARCO Young Master Rossi? Who are they? GIO (Setting the babies safely in the back seat) My daughters. Change of plans, Marco. Buy a secure villa in the most protected district of Seoul by tomorrow morning. From today on, I am raising them. (Gio looks at the three babies, who have finally stopped crying and fallen asleep under his warm coat.) GIO (Determined) The Hero, the Han family, the Choi family... none of them will ever touch you. You won't be heroes or villains anymore. You're Rossis now. (The SUV speeds away into the Seoul neon night, leaving the original plot of the novel shattered on Day 1.)”
