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!

Hannah looked skeptical, puffing out her cheeks.


She was so petulant, if anything she said displeased her, she started to sulk and demanded to be coaxed – this made her seem like the one who's enjoying the money and attention.


Arnold Simmons chuckled lightly, repeating patiently, coaxing her, "I don't tell lies."


Hannah looked at him, a laugh concealed in her voice, and her eyes, still wet with tears yet now showing a sly glint, as if she was a kitten that had stolen some fish, "Okay, I'll reluctantly trust you."


Arnold stood up and held her in his arms again.


She buried her face in his chest. Her hair messily spread on her face making her cheeks flushed like a high-quality rouge has been applied. She couldn't help but rub her nose.


Watching her, his gaze deepened, his chin rested near her forehead. Gentle motion, his calloused hand lightly brushed over her nose, carefully caressing.
