Please welcome Sir Arthur Hastings to deliver a speech on the occasion of the fiftieth anniversary of the founding of the University of London.” Arthur's gaze swept across the crowd before him, looking at the young faces and murmured, “Agares, what do you think I should say?” The Red Devil's wraith hovered behind him, saliva almost dribbling from the corner of his mouth, “Look at these ignorant souls; they still worship you as a hero. Why not say something they'd like to hear?” Arthur took a deep breath and let out a deafening roar, “Oxford is a bunch of whores' bastards!” “Oh!!!!” The audience erupted into thunderous applause. “Cambridge is the same!” he added immediately.

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."

Para evitar se envolver na luta pela sucessão, Lu Chen só podia manter um perfil baixo, planejando desfrutar de uma vida tranquila de esplendor e riqueza. Devido ao status de sua mãe, Lu Chen acabou recebendo um casamento concedido pelo Imperador e foi designado como Príncipe de um território extremamente frio no norte. Justo quando Lu Chen pensava que iria definhar dessa maneira pelo resto de sua vida, ele ativou um sistema na sua noite de núpcias. Desde que gerasse um herdeiro, Lu Chen seria capaz de receber recompensas e até mesmo aumentar seu próprio poder. Anos depois. Lu Chen marchou para a capital com um exército de um milhão de soldados para apoiar o Imperador, e todos ficaram atônitos. "Esse cara não era um Príncipe inútil? De onde ele conseguiu um exército de um milhão?" "O que está acontecendo, como ele poderia ser um Grão-Mestre?" "Parece que a decadência do Nono Príncipe era tudo uma encenação!" ...
