In a fictional novel, if you want to create a plot in which the protagonist uses false evidence to destroy the career of a board member, you can follow these steps to build the plot: ### 1. Determine the motive First, you need to identify the protagonist's motive. This could be due to: - Personal grudges: The board member once hurt the protagonist, causing deep psychological trauma. - Business competition: The protagonist works in the same industry and hopes to seek his own interests by weakening his rival. - Sense of justice: The protagonist believes that the board member has engaged in improper conduct in his position and hopes to uphold justice for the company or society by exposing his dark side. ### 2. Design the background of the character The backgrounds of the protagonist and the board member need to be designed to be intertwined, making their relationship complex and dramatic. For example: - The board member may be an influential executive with many secrets and a shady past, or even involved in illegal activities. - The protagonist has professional knowledge or skills in a certain area and is able to create evidence that looks real. ### 3. Create false evidence The protagonist can create false evidence in the following ways: - Tampering with documents: The protagonist can obtain sensitive documents of the board member from within the company and tamper with them to add content that looks suspicious. - Fake emails: The protagonist can forge emails to board members that involve corruption or misconduct, and forge the sender information through hacking. - Arrange a trap: The protagonist can plan an event to get board members to voluntarily fall into a seemingly inappropriate situation, such as pretending to arrange a business negotiation, but actually recording or filming their morally controversial behavior. ### 4. Construct plot conflict - **Unfolding of conflict**: As false evidence is exposed, the career of the board members begins to be threatened, and it may even trigger an internal investigation of the company. The protagonist needs to constantly choose between the inner moral struggle and the pressure from the outside world. - **Villain**: Investigative reporters, other board members, or characters from the legal department can be introduced to increase the complexity of the plot and make things escalate. ### 5. Character development - **Psychological changes of the protagonist**: As the plot progresses, the protagonist may feel inner guilt or rationalize his or her behavior, which can become an important clue to the story. - **Board members' counterattack**: The board members may fight back and try to expose the protagonist's true intentions, and the two sides gradually engage in a psychological and intellectual battle. ### 6. Ending Design - **Victory of Justice**: The protagonist may eventually be exposed, or realize the harm caused by his actions to others, and choose to surrender or redeem his mistakes. - **Negative Ending**: The board members are devastated, but the protagonist is also in trouble due to psychological burdens and condemnation of conscience. - **Open Ending**: Leave some suspense, and readers can imagine the subsequent developments on their own. This plot setting can not only create a tense atmosphere, but also trigger readers' thinking on themes such as morality, justice and revenge.
