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!

She backed away, starting to form excuses, "You know, I have a cold body. I often feel cold for no discernible reason. If you don't believe me, feel my hands. They're cold right now."


Damn George River, why did he have to show up here of all places? Wasn't he forcing her to mess up in front of Arnold Simmons?


A few days ago, George River had interrogated her about her relationship with Arnold Simmons. What had she said back then?


Oh right, she said that Arnold was the one pestering her.


Arnold couldn't tell what Hannah was thinking. His gaze was mostly attracted by the delicate white hand in front of him.


He seemed to recall the soft, cool touch from earlier.


Hannah regained her focus, looking sincerely at Arnold in front of her. Just as she was about to explain something, a black jacket landed on her head.
