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!

Moreover, the so-called friendship between the two was nothing more than a bond from their younger years.


Jimmy Simmons' eyes twinkled with amusement as he spoke teasingly, "I've been here for a while, didn't Director River notice?"


George River nodded slightly, "Sorry, I wasn't paying attention."


Jimmy Simmons didn't seem to mind, "Do you mind stepping aside for a chat?"


George River didn't refuse, excusing himself to the people around him, "Please excuse me."


The others naturally had no objections, but they watched the departing figures of the two men and buzzed with speculation.


"If Arnold Simmons were still here, the Simmons Clan wouldn't have to submit to the humiliation by the River Clan."


"This is like the sandpiper and the clam fighting each other, while the fisherman reaps the benefits; Arnold and Jimmy Simmons don't get along, and as a result, the River Family has profited."
