Tail Tone

In her pursuit of saving enough money to return home, Hannah found herself playing the role of the "first-love" character in a beloved novel. Originally, this character was a typical stand-in supporting actress, taking on various substitutes for the female lead as dictated by the male protagonists, such as donating kidneys or sparing road for the female lead, which she all agreed. Eventually, the original character succumbed to the pressure, turning dark and meeting a tragic demise with a disfigured face on the streets after being killed by the male protagonists.
Hannah's task was to follow this grim plotline and achieve the tragic story's intended outcome. However, in the eyes of George River, she was merely a substitute he had enlisted—an entity dependent on him. When his true love returned, he callously abandoned the woman who deeply loved him. Later, he regretted his decision, only to discover that the once-begging woman was now surrounded by various exceptional men.
The individuals who had previously used her as a shield—the movie king, the ambitious young actor who climbed over her for his ideal goddess, and the president who regretted his actions upon regaining his memory—all found themselves humbly pleading for her affection: "Hannah, the one I love is you." Confused by the sudden turn of events, Hannah observed her bank account steadily growing and stumbled upon a newfound skill for crafting tragic stories.
As the main antagonist who successfully survived until the end of the story, Arnold Simmons was ruthless, dark, and violent. In his eyes, Hannah appeared to be the most naive woman he had ever encountered, her thoughts consumed solely by love. Witnessing her continuous deception by those around her, Arnold eventually reached a breaking point and seized her, declaring, "Stay by my side; let me handle your tasks."

No Substitutes for the Bigshots' Dream Girl Anymore!

The young man was talking to himself, and in the midst of his actions, the jacket he had already put on had somehow come undone, revealing the bruise that had darkened to a blue-green on his shoulder.


Hannah furrowed her brows, then stretched out her hand to rip open Louis Snyder's clothes directly, revealing the horrifying and grotesque scar beneath. The red swelling and already developed bruise had almost covered his entire shoulder. "How did this happen?"


She looked into the youth's eyes, her voice quivering slightly.


The young man just laughed, a bitter smile. "Just bumped into a prop on set, that's all."


"What kind of prop would cause this?" Hannah didn't play dumb this time, once the drama began, it had to continue. "Tell me, did someone bully you?"


The young man remained silent, only lowering his eyes, his densely curved eyelashes trembling.
