The Scriptwriting Team's One Rule: Never Reveal Their Secret Identities

[The main story is complete, and the bonus chapters are being updated. Exclusively published on Jinjiang. Thank you for supporting the official version!] ["The Secret Identities Are Scriptwriters, Not Tragic Beauties" is complete. Click through to the author's collection. You should be fine even if you haven't read it.] After dying, unlucky college student Nishiumi Haruto transmigrated. Fortunately, he was bound to a secret identity System, and he could even earn a chance to go back and live another life. A friendly reminder from the System: Sweetie, use your secret identities wisely to build popularity on the forum. Sending transmigrators home will help you fulfill your dream of going home faster~ Nishiumi Haruto: Sure. Very normal. Fine. So he diligently completed a long list of dazzling feats, including but not limited to: shooting the extra "sixth member" of the police academy group, who was also an undercover agent for the Organization, dead on a rooftop; cutting the beloved woman of both the Six-Eyed God Child and the Cursed Spirit Manipulator in another world, the goddess of the Zenin clan, "in two" right in front of them; and killing another version of himself in front of a certain Yokohama boss... and so on. Nishiumi Haruto thought he was so cool he had no friends. Not only had he made it through more than half of his mission, but the popularity and discussion surrounding his secret identities on the forum were shooting up, too. Nishiumi Haruto looked down at his secret identities: His first identity, [Habuchi Chiaki], was an undercover agent posing as a traitor in a certain black-clad organization, but was actually a former KGB operative who had lost contact with his handlers. He'd thoroughly earned the hatred of the undercover group. His partner had been at odds with him for ten years, his unofficial master and student had become enemies, and even his fake-friendly colleagues kept testing him while wanting to kill him. At this rate, he was only one knife away from getting killed; His second identity, [Igarashi Yuki], was a former Special Grade sorcerer with a Heavenly Restriction, now an ordinary high school student in Beika. His mission was complete, and the person involved was in another world, so all he had to do was lie low and relax; His third identity, [Mochizuki Kaoru], was a former novelist and spiritual mentor with friends all over Yokohama. The Port Mafia boss and executives both approved of him, and he was currently enjoying a world tour. If no one found him, he won! In short: he was close to clocking off and going home. He just couldn't figure out why so many people kept trying to expose his secret identities... His fake-friendly colleague and his former fake-friendly apprentice, who had defected, looked at him with suspicion, as if they were always trying to uncover his secret; His former partners, who had originally been far away in another world, suddenly appeared after ten years and across worlds. It looked as if they were about to catch him on the spot; One boss even came on a business trip to Tokyo and found his first secret identity, smiling as he tested him with every word. Nishiumi Haruto glanced at the forum again. The forum was even more frantic than he was: [Are they going to expose him or not? They're really not going to expose him? You old devil, please let Curacao's identity get exposed!! I'm desperate, I'm really desperate! Curacao is the only undercover agent no one knows about. Don't make him die alone in the dark like that!!] [Ahhh, Yuki, Yuki! Is he our happy little puppy Yuki from JJK?! He's already died once. Does he really have to die again as a sacrifice?! Nooo, can those two delinquent hot-blooded teachers get him back to Jujutsu High? I don't want to see him end up all alone and die again!] [Is Teacher Mochizuki really dead? I don't believe it. That has to be Teacher Mochizuki, right? It has to be him, right?! Tell me he's alive and well! Everyone else gets a happy ending, and he's the only one with a bad ending. Is this ending really meant to stab him, or is it meant to stab me?!] Well... everyone was laughing, alive or dead, and the forum was the only one bawling. Nishiumi Haruto calmly clutched his little secret identity tight. Heh. He'd said no one would expose him, and no one would. No matter who came along. After all, seeing isn't always believing, right? --For a real team of scriptwriters, even the forum has to be successfully "fooled." Besides, his bonds with everyone were real, and the forum got a happy-ending manga finale.

This is a proper secret identity story. The secret identities are never exposed anywhere outside the forum. They will never be exposed, even if the characters die. That means no one in the Detective Conan world outside the forum will know the identities are undercover agents. (Updated 2025.4.28: No one on the good side knows. Anyone on the bad side who knew is either dead or has run away.) 2. No CP, no romance. Jump-style friendship is the best! Everyone knows friendship is the best thing in shonen manga! (Not like Naruto.) There are no couples in the story, but the forum has people who ship everyone with everyone. Forum chapters will be labeled. The story and forum affect each other. 3. The protagonist is a behind-the-scenes scriptwriter. He sometimes comes close to a blunder, but never actually blunders. [Emphasis added] 4. Almost all forum-style chapters are labeled. There is quite a lot of forum content, so feel free to skip it if you don't want to read it. 5. Mainly Detective Conan. There is a brief detour into the Jujutsu Kaisen setting in the middle, and those chapters are labeled so you can skip them. A little Bungo Stray Dogs content, too, with a few related chapters in the middle. It will all fit together and won't affect the main world's story. The timeline and worldbuilding include original elements. The plot has been significantly adapted. 6. The characters' values in this story don't represent the author's values. Let's discuss politely. I'll listen to reasonable suggestions, but please don't fight. Peace and love. 7. There may be a lot of everyday scenes... Sometimes the author can't stop themself from writing more everyday scenes qaq I'll add the rest if I think of anything else. Theme: Perseverance and hard work will eventually bear fruit.
