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."

This story is great, with a strong female lead who was wronged by her half-sister and is out for revenge. She uses her medical skills from the previous life to meddle in court affairs, to uncover all her sister’s conspiracies and save the lives of her family members. It‘s very fun to read about all her own plots and clearing her previously bad reputation. once she attracts the emperor’s attention the man who rejected her previously is green with envy - and i just live for it. The emperor is a great character and i enjoy the slow burn, his wit and doting behaviour. This story reminds me a lot of the vibe that i felt watching the anime shirayuki-hime (snow white with the red hair) bc both women were wronged, stand in between two guys, have to find their place in a new life, try to make the world a better one. it‘s a big recommend to anybody who craves a second season. There won‘t be dragons but there are traditional chinese QI powers.
