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 old butler had passed away over a decade ago.


The empty house lacked any sign of life.


Three days later, he went to see George River.


Both of them had lost the spirited vigor of their youth, the restlessness and madness of the past had long since vanished without a trace.


Sitting face to face, memories of the past surfaced in their minds.


There was regret, there was sorrow, and there was also acceptance.


They say time can dilute everything, but they still felt a void in their hearts.


It was as if something was missing, something that no matter how hard they tried, they could never fill.


After that, Jimmy Simmons and George River never saw each other again, nor did they meet in this city.


They left carrying their respective regrets.


Neither found release for the rest of their lives.


Flames of red maple leaves marked another autumn's passing.


Louis Snyder still lived in the sanatorium.
