### scene 1 :

Ella is a timid girl who lives with her aunt who has a private library. Her aunt tells her to never read a certain book because it will cause trouble, but she is still attracted to it. Ella reads it when her aunt is out of town. She discovers it is a magic book. She can enter and exit the fairy tale land of the book when she reads this book loudly. Ella can choose to enter any scene of the story.

### scene 2 :

She is so excited and tells her friends about all of the characters she becomes friends with. She enjoys becoming friends with princesses. Ella has a bold idea because she knows what will happen to each story, maybe she can help the princesses avoid their troubles in the story.

### scene 3 :

However, things never go as Ella planned. She steals the poisonous apple from the Queen’s room in 'Snow White'. Snow lives and becomes the queen. Unexpectedly, she is cruel to the people. In the meantime, her aunt finds out about the problems due to the content of all the fairy tale books being changed. This magic book controls all fairy tale books. The children who read 'Snow White' are so scared and can not stop crying. The poster of the 'Snow White' changes into a violent design also.

### scene 4 :

Ella feels afraid and avoids facing her mistakes. Aunt finds Ella , tries to persuade Ella to face her mistakes and fix these problems, but Ella refuses. Her aunt tells her what is happening to the current books content: Cinderella kills the stepmother and becomes a villian in the town. Pinocchio can not change into a real boy anymore. He is addicted to playing on Pleasure Island, and does not care that Geppetto is heartbroken at all. All of this is happening because of what Ella did.

### scene 5 :
The characters who obtained the power after Ella modified the stories(such as Snow White, Cinderella) began to find themselves actually trapped in the book, and Ella could imprison them again at any time if she wished. These characters had a meeting in which they discussed how to find a way to get Ella against the idea of rewriting the book again.

### scene 6 :
They knew that parts of what happened in the stories would show up in the real-world stories, so at these moments they pretended to be friendly and forced other characters to look happy. Although the stories were no longer scary, it was not fun to read them.

### scene 7 :
After seeing the new stories, Ella told her aunt that the changes to the story she made were not bad for the characters. Thus, nothing needed to be fixed. Although Ella's aunt was aware of the real situation, there was no way she can persuade Ella, and after Ella modified the stories, the power to modify the story had been transferred to Ella. Only Ella can fix all this.
The characters even invited Ella to live in the book's world, and they made and gave Ella everything she wanted in order to keep her in the book, so that she would never go out and change the stories again.

### scene 8 :
Soon, these characters found that they couldn't keep Ella there forever and Ella was the only one who could modify the stories. Thus, only killing Ella could really solve their problems. They decided to let Ella eat the poisoned apple(the same one used to kill Snow White by her stepmother before), and the plan was to be executed by Snow White.

### scene 9 :
Just when Ella was about to eat the apple, she suddenly realized that this apple was the same as the poison apple she stole. Ella realized Snow White wanted to kill her. Ella immediately came out of the book. After coming out, Ella finally discovered the conspiracy of these characters, and they bring pain to other characters. The Stories don't bring joy to readers anymore, no one want to read them.

### scene 10 :
After realizing that only she could correct all this, Ella accepted her responsibility, and she re-edited the stories to make every character in the stories happy. The new stories regained the joy they brought to readers all over the world.
