No Substitutes for the Bigshots' Dream Girl Anymore!

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." [A seemingly fragile flower with an inner strength, Daughter of the Sea, crosses paths with an obsessed, dark, and sinister antagonist who contemplates disrupting the pond of bred fish every day.]

Absolutely fantastic. A refreshing novel after a long time. In the beginning, the novel started as a slice of life. MC not meddling in any unnecessary trouble, cultivating while maintaining his facade of some low-level mage. The MC is smart, doing and utilizing his cheat's best, quietly accumulating power and is self-conscious that there is a sky beyond sky and man beyond man. Some other novel might use this line to look solemn and serious but at the end of the day it still doesn't give a damn bout that proverb BUT this one is different. It uses the proverb and adheres to it. Which is a plus point for someone like me. I enjoyed this novel quite a lot. The last time I was so pumped up for a novel was during the trial read of the novel " This Japanese Slice-Of-Life Isn't Lame." Alas, it wasn't chosen to be translated but nevermind.

Well, the moral is about seizing the moment. In a story of a young artist, if she keeps waiting for the 'perfect' time to show her work instead of taking the chances when they come, she may never be discovered. Just like time and tide, opportunities don't wait for us. We need to be proactive and make use of the time we have.
