Kang Jung-hwa wasn't any better. However, she had an older sister in Hollywood, so the two women were evenly matched in terms of background.

Little Seven gave Suho a phone call to explain the current situation; she was afraid that Irene would be bullied again. So, Suho soon arrived at the auditions. Seeing Irene holding the temporary script in her hands, he immediately strode over and asked, "What's wrong?"

As Irene watched Suho appear, she immediately said, "I actually have a thought."

"Your thought is to become Korea's best stunt double."

Irene took a deep breath and realized her previous casual image had been etched too deeply in Suho's heart. As a result, he wasn't used to her seriousness. However, Irene still said what she thought, "I know you arranged this audition for me because you want me to secure some resources and to have a film to partake in. I also know that you don't have much expectation for me, but I want to have some expectations for myself from now on."

"I've looked at the script and I'm aware that you want me to audition for the secondary female character, but I feel that this female character that disguises as a guy is more suited to me."

Suho examined Irene seriously as his lips curved upwards, "Have you made preparations to become a superstar yet?"

"Even if not for myself, I would do it for the sake of your dreams. You were once a top manager, I don't want your skills to become dispensable because of me."

Suho patted Irene on the head; she had grown up.

"You are indeed more suited to the character of this tomboy. Although it isn't a notable character, the design of this character is the most detailed, life-like and the most complete in the entire script. If portrayed well, it has the ability to outshine the secondary character and even the female lead. However, if done badly, it would just be another forgettable, insignificant character. But, we have nothing to lose, we can treat this as a chance for you to accumulate some experience."

"OK," Irene nodded.

"Kang Jung-hwa came for the secondary female character, but she has no idea that this character was merely created to highlight the existence of the female lead. It actually has less value than most of the other characters. The character may appear in a lot of scenes, but it doesn't necessarily mean that it will be likable."

After hearing this, Irene began to laugh as she whispered beside Suho's ear, "According to Kang Jung-hwa's personality, she will definitely mess up."

Kang Jung-hwa seemed to have noticed Irene and Suho talking about her, so she rolled her eyes and walked towards the couple, "The secondary character is mine. Don't even dream about it."

Irene didn't want it to begin with...

As she began to think about the way that Kang Jung-hwa stood in front of Tiffany, she couldn't help but laugh.

"What are you laughing at?"

"Thinking about the way you were punished to stand."

"You just wait. After I become the secondary female, there will be plenty for you to see," Kang Jung-hwa was struck where it hurt. So, after making a lame threat, she turned around and hurried away. Irene was extremely amused as she erupted in tears of laughter.

"I heard her sister is quite powerful, she won't come looking for trouble, will she?"

"Her sister is on Tiffany's level, so Tiffany will naturally find a way to deal with her. If she comes to look for you, she will be devaluing herself," Suho replied with a smile.

....

Kang Yong-Ji was indeed angered. Tiffany had forced her sister to stand for two hours like a student in front of a school dean. No matter who was to hear this, they were bound to feel bad.

"She's just an actress on the brink of expiry, shouldn't she just return home? Why's she walking around acting like a nice person when it's obvious she's not?"

However, Kang Jung-hwa had no idea that Tiffany had entered the studio that day because she had been contracted as the global spokesperson  for an international luxury cosmetic brand. This brand was well-known for its lively image. 

And this was exactly the reason why Taeyeon chose it for Tiffany. At first, the company was worried about Tiffany's condition. They wondered if she'd be appealing enough. But, as soon as Tiffany put on her white suit, tied her hair into a high ponytail and stepped out in front of everyone, her beauty made it impossible for people to look away.

Because of this, the photographer let out a sigh. Tiffany was in the same state as when she was a model. It was clear to see that Tiffany's professionalism resulted in the strict management of her figure.

It didn't take long before Tiffany began conversing with the man in perfect English and understood the content of the shoot.

So, with the help of the stylist, Tiffany got changed into a set of white activewear.

As the stylist looked at Tiffany's stomach and how it had recovered beautifully, she couldn't help but gasp, "I really can't imagine that you're already the mother of a baby."

"It's actually two babies," Tiffany smiled, "I gave birth to twins..."

The stylist gave her a thumbs up, "You're amazing!"

Throughout the entire shoot, Tiffany changed into a total of 7 sets of clothes, all following a white theme and aimed at women. Inside the rose-filled room, Tiffany's state was unbelievably perfect.

"A professional is indeed a professional," the photographer continuously praised. Tiffany did not forget her original profession at all, especially her gaze.

She was capable of looking fierce, wild, tender and even pure. Perhaps, due to the experience she had gained from acting, when she applied her skills to the advertisement, even the advertiser gasped in surprise. Out of all the models they had ever worked with, Tiffany left the deepest impression.

"Wait until we release this advertisement, the result will definitely be shocking. I can't wait!" the photographer said to the other staff members after he finished.

After Tiffany completed her shoot, she simply wanted to hurry home. The advertiser originally wanted to invite her to dinner, but she regretfully rejected them. After all, she still had two babies waiting for her at home.

"Rather than focusing on work, you're constantly worried about your baby. You're honestly a great mother," the lighting designer laughed.

Because she was a great mother, she wanted to rush home and comfort the good father at home.

Tiffany smiled as she bid farewell to the staff. Afterwards, she left the studio with Sooyoung.

She was capable of returning to the workplace, but the big guy and two little ones at home, were forever her biggest concern.

Upon returning home, Tiffany found Taeyeon fast asleep with the babies.

Seeing Daddy Tae's head up against his two son's heads, Tiffany felt a rush of warmth spread through her body.

She remembered that her and Taeyeon had once promised that they'd be a normal couple as soon as they returned home. It was a place for just the two of them.

Tiffany approached the trio and placed a kiss on Taeyeon's forehead. She then headed into the kitchen to prepare dinner.

It didn't take long before Taeyeon appeared behind her and wrapped his arm around her waist, "Did your first day back at work go smoothly?"

"Of course..." Tiffany nodded confidently.

"Crown Empire received news that Kang Yong-Ji plans to return to Korea to develop her career. It's obvious that she's aiming at you. When she gets back, she may cause you trouble."

"Is this all because I punished her sister to stand?" Tiffany snorted. "Isn't it normal to have small arguments within the industry?"

"She is a smart woman. If necessary, she could even sacrifice the most important people in her life. You are both on the same path. But, when the two of you reach a fork in the road, you are bound to go separate ways. So, she wants to wait for the result."

"Regarding everything else, this Kang Yong-Ji is quite charming!" Tiffany had to admit this. "She must be waiting for me to become a joke."

Kang Yong-Ji became famous at an early age and had experienced lots of underhandedness. As a result, she knew how to behave and how to handle matters. So, in the end, by using Crown Empire as a platform, she graced the international stage with her presence and eventually opened Yi Xing Film and Television. These days, her and her husband worked hard together in Hollywood.

The important turning point that Taeyeon previously spoke about, happened during the time Kang Yong-Ji was still in Crown Empire. At that time she had a loving boyfriend who she had been with for many years. But, in the end, for the sake of future prospects, she had an abortion and broke up with the not-so-famous singer.

For a female celebrity, youth never stuck around for long. So, there was no reason to retreat home before their career even started.

Therefore, at that time, Kang Yong-Ji didn't hesitate at all. When her ex boyfriend found out about her abortion, he almost fell apart. But, in the end, he maintained his composure and let her go.

Perhaps to make Kang Yong-Ji feel regret, the non-ambitious ex boyfriend suddenly woke up to reality and began to use connections to aid in his advancement. As a result, he was now a well acknowledged mentor in the music industry.

It could be said that Tiffany and Kang Yong-Ji's goal was the most similar. But, if Kang Yong-Ji was in Tiffany's position, she would never become an actress just as she was about to become an international supermodel, and she would never have a child when her popularity was at its prime. She wasn't crazy. How many people dreamed of being famous?

Why didn't Tiffany treasure the opportunities she was given?

Kang Yong-Ji disliked Tiffany because Kang Yong-Ji had sacrificed so much to get to where she was today, yet Tiffany always seemed to prove her decisions wrong.

Tiffany had returned to work, so 'Concubine Ning', which had been in preparation for quite some time, naturally sent over their schedule. Although the producers had always said that Tiffany was to play the female lead, they had never announced it to the public. Because of this, Suho once again contacted Tiffany, "Are you ready to go on set?"

'Concubine Ning' was a long imperial palace drama. As soon as Tiffany stepped on set, it would definitely take 3-6 months to complete. She liked the plot, but...

"Let me think about it," Tiffany replied. It was definitely a concern for her to be away from her babies for so long.

"You can go home every day. You don't need to worry about not seeing your children," Suho coaxed her with a tempting offer. "At the moment, quite a few other actresses have already accepted this drama. If you don't make a decision soon, someone might steal the role from you."

"Then so be it..." Tiffany smiled.

"Can you think of anyone that's more suited to this character than you? You've already received the contract long ago. But, you still haven't signed it!"

It's not that Tiffany wasn't excited by a challenge like this, especially since she hadn't experienced filming in ancient attire, but, she had her worries...

"You need to give me an answer by tomorrow morning," Suho was filled with urgency. The preparation stage had already taken too long. Every day that they delayed it, the more resources they'd be wasting.

"OK," Tiffany nodded. "By the way, didn't you say that Irene will have a role in the drama too? How's that going?"

"She has something else that she wants to do," Suho revealed a rarely-seen look of relief.

Irene now knew how to take a lot of things into consideration. She now spoke up about whether something was suited to her or not and allowed Suho to finally see her possibilities of becoming a superstar.

...

Tiffany was indeed tempted to participate in 'Concubine Ning'. But, as she looked at the sleeping expression on her babies' faces, she gave up on the thought.

Good scripts were bound to come around again, but the time spent with her babies could never be reimbursed.

Taeyeon seemed to have noticed her doubts, so, with his identity as her manager, he replied to the producers, accepted the role and told them they could now officially announce it.

"The babies require company, but, you also need to fulfill your dream. I've already contacted the production crew. You will be allowed to return home every day and no one will stop you from keeping the babies company at night. During the day, we will leave these two rascals with our mothers..."

As it was impossible for Hyoyeon to take care of two babies on her own, Bo-ah handed Hwang Corps to Min-ho and stepped down to provide assistance.

The babies' paternal grandmother was a biological researcher and their maternal grandmother was a famous businesswoman. Above all, the two babies were born into a rich family. So, there were no concerns regarding their upbringing.

Tiffany looked at Taeyeon and knew that this man understood her the most, so she did not retaliate as she nodded her head.

"Just because you aren't with them 24 hours a day, it doesn't mean you are not a good mother. Don't feel guilty. When I have time, I will bring them to visit you on set."

Taeyeon would forever remember how Tiffany learned how to act from scratch because of 'Stupid' when she was just one step away from becoming an international supermodel.

At a time like this, a lover's support was the best form of affirmation.

"OK, Daddy Tae!"

Tiffany's decision to join 'Concubine Ning' was originally confirmed and the production crew were already prepared to announce it. As the entire cast was of a high standard, the male lead was not a young idol actor, but also an actor with great acting skills.

But, unexpectedly...

...overnight, the producers of 'Concubine Ning', suddenly changed their minds. Tiffany was supposed to play two roles on her own, but in the end, they decided to add an extra actress and arranged for Tiffany to play just one.

'Concubine Ning' was indeed adjusted. They had previously established that this was a story about a concubine that got beheaded because she brought disorder to the imperial court. But, the twist was, the concubine did not die and came back from the dead with a completely different personality and eventually became a concubine praised by everyone. Afterwards, an identity battle ensues between the two sisters. This was where the producers added a whole heap of fighting scenes between the two sisters...

The feelings evoked by the script suddenly disappeared...

The originally detailed plot had suddenly turned into a story about an exaggerated Mary Sue 1 ...

So, after Suho delivered Tiffany the new script, Tiffany had a quick look and threw it to the side, "I don't care about whether I'm the female lead. But, this character has become too single dimensional. I don't want to act in something that's so exaggerated."

"It's been confirmed that the drama will have two female leads. Do you know who the other female lead is?" Suho looked at Tiffany with deep meaning. "Kang Yong-Ji! Kang Yong-Ji is famous to begin with and she has offered to invest money into the drama. So, of course, the producers naturally felt this was a blessing. Kang Yong-Ji has always been publicly acknowledged as a good actress. So, her presence is not expected to bring down the quality of the drama."

"She's indeed targeting me," Tiffany smirked.

"Tiffany, the drama has a complete script and professional post production. No matter who acts in it, the result will not be that bad. Of course, the addition of good actors is a plus. If you reject this role and the drama becomes popular, the public will definitely have a lot to say."

"They will even assume that you're afraid of Kang Yong-Ji."

"I'm not acting in it!" Tiffany replied decisively. "You know how I am. When I accept a script, the other actors aren't the most important factor. The most important thing is the script itself. Do you think you can even convince yourself with a script like this?"

"One needs to wait for a good script and I'm not afraid of waiting," Tiffany said before she pushed the script back over to Suho. "Sorry, Suho."

Suho was stunned for a moment before he laughed, "This is actually more like you; more like the Tiffany that I know. That's fine, I respect your decision."

"This drama indeed has the potential to be a big hit. But...I feel that simply being well-made isn't enough. The story itself is the most important thing. Only when a screenwriter's art is appreciated can a classic masterpiece be created, rather than having a moment of popularity and then being forgotten afterwards."

Tiffany understood this better than anyone!

...

Soon thereafter, Kang Yong-Ji received news that Tiffany had rejected her role. In response, Kang Yong-Ji was quite confused. Within Korea, a production like 'Concubine Ning' was already considered decent and was likely to be a big hit. Yet, she rejected it. Was it because her role as female lead had been snatched from her? Kang Yong-Ji's lips curved upwards coldly.

Wasn't snatching a common occurrence in the entertainment industry? How could Tiffany be so petty?

Kang Yong-Ji really wanted to know the thoughts that were contained in Tiffany's head. Was her brain made from bean curd?

However, regardless of the reason why Tiffany refused to partake in 'Concubine Ning', Kang Yong-Ji managed to create a hot topic of discussion.

As a result, the following news headlines began to appear:

[International superstar, Kang Yong-Ji, makes a comeback; Tiffany's female lead gets snatched away!]

['Concubine Ning' announces last-minute change to Kang Yong-Ji; Tiffany not fated to be female lead]

All types of news articles spread like wildfire. But, it all came down to one message: Tiffany was originally chosen as the female lead of 'Concubine Ning', but ended up being replaced by Kang Yong-Ji. Everyone tried to guess the reason behind this. Since Tiffany had just given birth, they assumed it was likely because her figure and disposition hadn't fully recovered yet. On top of that, Kang Yong-Ji was internationally renowned and couldn't be ignored, and her acting was well refined. So it made sense for the producers to choose Kang Yong-Ji over Tiffany because she was better value.

_"Tiffany's the one that always steals other's roles. Now that someone else has taken her role instead, it's weirdly satisfying."

_"When it comes to experience, Tiffany is still miles from Kang Yong-Ji. So, it's normal for the producers to change people."

_"Kang Yong-Ji was my dream girl back in the days. I never expected her to make a comeback. I'm really looking forward to it!"

_"Kang Yong-Ji has played so many classic characters. I don't even know where Tiffany was during that time."

Of course, Tiffany's fans fought back.

_"If something belongs to my Fany, no one can possibly snatch it away - unless my Fany willingly gives it away."

_"Don't make Kang Yong-Ji sound so sacred and out of reach. When it comes to acting, our Fany does not lose to her."

_"How could you speak of Kang Yong-Ji. The roles she played in the past were all mechanical, no-brain characters. What is there to be proud of?"

_"There's nothing wrong with my Fany's body and her kids are of no concern at
