The film fans stared blankly at the screen, unsure what they had just seen in the last twenty seconds. In fact, they had lost interest in the rest of the film because of the trailer they saw.

A large number of the film fans inside the theater tried to confirm what they saw amongst themselves. Some even began to talk to strangers.

_"Just then, that was..."

_"I'm trying to figure that out too. Was I seeing things?!"

_"I recorded the last few seconds; the part where the name of the film appeared. You guys saw correctly, it was 'The Ant Queen'."

Hence, for the first time ever, the audience asked the theater staff to replay the trailer of 'The Ant Queen'!

And, for the staff, it was the first time that they saw the audience get so excited over a trailer.

But, their request was too much...

Since they couldn't get what they wanted, the film fans quickly ran out to buy tickets for the next film screening, just so they could watch the trailer again.

As Crown Empire made an agreement with the theater to only screen the trailer of 'The Ant Queen' there, the film fans had no other way of seeing it. Even if they had the ability to film it on their phones, as soon as they posted it online, it was immediately removed. This helped the film maintain a sense of mystery.

But, even though it was exclusive to the theaters, the number of viewers were already shocking.

Plenty of film fans got what they wanted and watched the trailer for a second time. This time, because they paid extra attention to it, they spent the twenty seconds watching in seriousness, afraid that they'd miss out on the finest detail. Finally, everyone confirmed that the male lead was Taeyeon, the director was Qiao Sen and Suho – and the producer was Tiffany!

_"This film is of a high quality with good effects. This looks nothing like the recently leaked videos."

_"Woah, that's amazing! As soon as the ant appeared, I nearly jumped out of my seat in shock!"

_"If this is the actual completed film, then the recently leaked videos must have been fake."

_"Obviously. A sci-fi film is different to other films, it can't possibly improve this much in just a few days. Someone must have been trying to slander Tiffany and this is her actual film."

_"It's over, just watching twenty seconds and I'm all hyped up. I must say that Crown Empire is great at business. They are only showing the trailer in the theaters and limiting it to showing once per film." 

This particular post from a netizen also included a photo of all the film stubs he had collected from the day and a caption that read, "All this, just to watch the trailer of 'The Ant Queen'!"

_"Objectively speaking, compared to the videos recently released, the trailer in the theaters definitely contains the essence of Tiffany. This is more like the type of story that Tiffany would make. As long as filming and acting is involved, she would always put in 100%."

_"So many people were ridiculing her before. Now that the real trailer has been released, let's see what they have to say."

Actually, a mere twenty seconds trailer wasn't enough to completely clarify everything.

After all, it wasn't hard to compile the best parts of a film into twenty seconds.

So, even after the film critics heard about the trailer, they still couldn't provide a proper review. All they could do was express their disgust in the leaked videos.

Who was so shameless as to create them?

But, due to Tiffany, Taeyeon and Crown Empire's serious approach, film fans also treated the film seriously.

At least, they no longer treated it casually. Even though she was slandered prior to releasing her trailer, Tiffany was not flustered by something so trivial. This proved that Tiffany wasn't easily influenced by the outside world; she was a calm and stable person.

The managers at the theaters were probably laughing like crazy. Although the trailer didn't change anything dramatic, it did help them receive more profits over the weekend...

Soon, news that the trailer for 'The Ant Queen' had been released began to circulate. This time, Tiffany could no longer conceal how cool she was...

"The statistics for the trailer release are in my hands. Whether it's the level of hype, interest or others, this is currently the hottest topic. Tiffany, 'The Ant Queen' is definitely going to be a big hit!"

As soon as Sunny received first hand information regarding 'The Ant Queen', she immediately waved it in front of Tiffany, but Tiffany was not excited by it at all.

"Come have a look at something," Tiffany stood up from her laptop and placed Sunny in her seat.

"What is it?"

"I've watched it many times and studied every single frame. And, finally, I discovered this," Tiffany pulled the video progress bar to a specific time and paused the video. She then zoomed in to the bottom of the video and pointed out a slightly visible logo to Sunny.

"But, what does this mean?" Sunny asked.

"What do you think I discovered when I researched into this?" Tiffany opened another website; one where Han Xiuche's manhuas could be viewed. She then opened the last frame of each of his manhuas and compared it to the paused frame of the video.

"Do you understand now?"

As soon as Sunny saw it, she was both shocked and angered, "Tell that jerk to come out and kneel! He actually dared to do something like this?"

"I should have noticed this before. Have you forgotten? He has always had a thing for sci-fi, so it's not surprising that he'd be able to create a video like this," Tiffany sighed before she closed her laptop.

"Why did you close it! Your should take a screenshot of it and slap him in the face with it..."

"Just this isn't enough to give a face slap. After all, anyone can make a video like that, so he's bound to deny it. Don't forget how he denied the other embarrassing things he's done," Tiffany replied.

"What should we do then?"

"Since we know he's the one that's been playing tricks behind-the-scenes, then it's easy to handle. It's better than not knowing anything. The important thing now, is to figure out how he knew we'd be releasing our promotional trailer and whether it had something to do with someone in my fan club. I think figuring this out would help us be more cautious in the future."

"Right now, he's in the open and we're in the shadows, so we hold the advantage!"

"That's true," Sunny nodded. "I can't believe he's still trying to hurt you. How much must he hate you to be so persistent."

"Go investigate the fan club in private and take note of his next move."

"Don't worry, I'm the best at digging out rats!" Tiffany made an OK gesture.

This Han Xiuche was honestly a piece of rubbish that didn't know who he was up against!

To join Tiffany's fan club, one had to go through a strict selection process. However, there had been no new members recently. So, a detailed investigation had to be held to determine if information had actually been leaked via the fan club.

Sunny contacted the president of the fan club to ask her a few questions in private.

From the club president, Sunny gained a few answers.

"Sunny, I've been the club president for a long time. Every time there's been a request for confidentiality, the club has been able to maintain it. So, I don't think it's likely that anything was leaked by us. After all, the fan club is made up of loyal fans that have been around for many years. They should be able to differentiate right from wrong."

"So, if something was actually leaked, then someone must have somehow sneaked in amongst us."

"We can't be too rash when investigating this matter, so take note of your member's actions and see if there are any abnormalities. We can use that as the direction for our investigation," Sunny said to the club president.

"What kind of abnormalities?"

"For example, sudden changes in their lifestyle, or perhaps, if they appear online during times that they aren't normally online, or they are oddly quiet when they normally talk a lot. If you discover a person like that, don't make any reckless moves. We simply need to be aware," Sunny explained.

"I understand, Sunny. If someone wants to hurt my Fany and use the fan club to do it, I won't let them off easily! That's much too evil!"

"Sorry for troubling you," Sunny went offline after talking to the club president. There was nothing else she could do other than wait for the culprit to reveal himself.

"Although Han Xiuche happened to help you this time, we still can't avoid his secret attacks!"

After hearing this, Tiffany let out a laugh, "Did you think we only have Han Xiuche to worry about? Why don't you check what other international films are being released this year. There should be another good show when that time comes."

Other sci-fi films depended on looks and fans. Who was as serious as Tiffany was?

Films in the domestic market only ever cared about viewership. When it came to special effects and post production, they simply had to treat it casually and they'd make a decent profit. But, Tiffany's appearance meant that things were about to change for them. For producers that liked to take the easy path, this was a timely warning.

But, standing in the way of someone's money-making path was as bad as killing their loved ones!

"OK, if we come across a situation like that, what can we do? We have no choice but to take evasive action! Either way, I trust in you," Sunny said as she shrugged her shoulders.

Because of the release of the first trailer, Tiffany's film once again jumped to the top of the anticipation list.

While everyone admired the post production and special effects, they were also interested by the fact that Taeyeon was the male lead of the film.

Of course, now that she announced the release of her new film, it was time for Tiffany to end her low profile status. It was time she reappeared in the entertainment industry with her new identity. After all, she had promised that she'd return.

So, she was going to attend the latest film festival.

This was also Taeyeon's decision. 'The Ant Queen' was following a standard marketing plan, so Tiffany was going to cooperate and appear at whatever events that required her attendance.

[Tiffany to attend Seoul Film Festival!]

[Tiffany makes a high profile comeback with 'The Ant Queen']

[Tiffany returns after one year. Have you undergone any changes in this time?]

Afterwards, Tiffany reappeared in the lobby of Crown Empire after a year of absence. This was the first time she appeared in front of Crown Empire's staff since she announced her retreat from the entertainment industry and withdrew from Crown Empire. But, the people at Crown Empire were still as respectful to her as before because, in their hearts, they admired her as much as they admired Taeyeon.

"Hello, Fany unnie!"

"Good morning, Fany unnie!"

"Are you here for a meeting, Fany unnie?"

They were right. Tiffany had come to Crown Empire for a meeting regarding the test screening of 'The Ant Queen'. Even though she was no longer an artist signed to Crown Empire, the marketing for 'The Ant Queen' was still managed by Crown Empire. So, she was there as a collaborator.

Chanyeol hadn't seen Tiffany for a long time too. So, just before the meeting started, he couldn't help but laugh as he said to her, "This time, the board of directors were the ones that requested to work with you. Obviously, everyone can tell that 'The Ant Queen' is the real deal. I reckon, from now on, President Kim can do whatever he wants with you and they won't have any opinion."

"So, I think the phrase, 'one who gains the hearts of the people, gains the world', suits you very well."

"How's Shinhye?" Tiffany responded with a laugh. "We haven't seen each other for a long time."

"I will take her to the test screening for 'The Ant Queen'," Chanyeol promised with a nod. "As soon as she found out that your new film was being released, she's been endlessly nagging beside my ear."

Tiffany wanted to chat for longer, but Taeyeon and Sooyoung walked straight into the meeting room. In that moment, Taeyeon had transformed into Crown Empire's decision maker, temporarily concealing his identity as Tiffany's husband.

"President Kim is so strict...look at his serious expression!"

"Does he usually look like this around you guys?" Tiffany teased.

"Why else would we be so afraid of him?"

"But, I think he looks really charming like this! I really like it."

From the sounds of it, Tiffany's obsession towards Taeyeon had not reduced even the slightest bit. In fact, it was rare for her to see the serious side of Taeyeon after becoming accustomed to his soft side at home, so she found her heart began to race...

How hopelessly in love!

"The results from 'The Ant Queen's' trailer turned out as expected. That's why we should release the second trailer soon. Of course, we won't release it directly. We will find an advertiser to collaborate with and come to an agreement on what to do..."

"After the Seoul Film Festival, we will hold the test screening for 'The Ant Queen'. Chanyeol will prepare everything and confirm the invitation list."

"As for Tiffany...your post production team needs to be standardized. Also, now that Qiao Sen is gone, you need to consider your next step. Have you prepared yourself for 'The Ant Queen 2'?"

Tiffany and Taeyeon's eyes met. From the look in Taeyeon's eyes, Tiffany could tell that he was being serious.

He was making a serious request!

Because, this time, he wasn't going to let her go through ups and downs nor retreat from the industry and comeback again. This time, he wanted Tiffany to forever remain at the pinnacle.

"You are no longer entering into the industry as an actress. You will be facing a lot more problems from now on. If you want to be a good producer, you will need to have some foresight, OK?"

OK?

As soon as everyone heard this deep and gentle question, they were all shocked. Was the couple trying to show off their affection?

After the meeting ended, the couple headed into Taeyeon's office. As soon as the office door closed, Tiffany immediately hugged Taeyeon from behind.

"What is it?" Taeyeon wanted to turn around, but Tiffany held him in place.

"Don't move. Your expression earlier was too charming. It made my heart tickle so much that I wanted to do this a long time ago."

Tiffany didn't say words like this often, but when she did, it was completely mesmerizing. Taeyeon had experienced this a long time ago. 

Although the couple were already parents to three children, but they were both busy with their own careers. So, apart from complementing each other during their daily lives, it had been a long time since they hugged so lovingly.

"Huh?"

"I like it when you're strict towards me. I like it when you give me orders. It makes me feel safe and gives me direction," Tiffany explained gently. "Tae, I've been living my life really happily these past few years."

"Me too," Taeyeon replied before he turned around, locked the office door and carried Tiffany in his arms.

"Tae...what are you doing?" Tiffany was surprised by Taeyeon's actions as he placed her on the sofa.

"What do you think? The office doesn't have any traces of you yet," Taeyeon said before he lowered onto her lips with a kiss.

After teasing her man in such a way, wasn't she hinting something?

Since Tiffany was being so direct, how could President Kim let go of such a great opportunity?

"It seems, it's true that men don't let go of any opportunities."

"It's because I love you that I can transform into a wolf at anytime!"

Although the office door was already locked and they didn't have to worry about anyone entering...Taeyeon's office wasn't completely sealed; there were still gaps. So, Tiffany felt shy. She even buried her head into Taeyeon's arms.

Because of this, Taeyeon couldn't help but laugh, "Did you think that people wouldn't know that you're in my room if you hide your head?"

"Take me home. Seulgi should be waking up soon!" Tiffany's face flushed red.

Taeyeon stood up and helped Tiffany tidy her clothes. After he was done, he escorted her down his private elevator. But, before she left, he reminded beside her ear, "Remember to go pick out a dress with Sunny. You haven't attended any official events for a long time. Most of the clothes you have at home are old; you should buy some new ones."

"OK," Tiffany nodded.

No matter how many years had passed and what identity she now held, in front of Taeyeon, Tiffany always acted the same as when they first got married and shared the bed for the first time. She always buried her head in his arms shyly; a habit that would never change...

After returning home, Tiffany did as told and called Sunny over to clean out all her old clothes.

While cleaning, Sunny suddenly remembered something, "After investigating the fan club in detail, the club president told me she has some ideas about who's out of the ordinary."

"Since we already know that Han Xiuche is the culprit, there's no rush in finding a rat amongst the fan club. Take it slowly."

"But, it appears that Han Xiuche's brother will be attending the Seoul Film Festival as well. If we see him, we should give him a word of warning!" Sunny said. "This time, when you return, we need to give you a grand entrance."

...

Meanwhile, Han Xiuche's brother, Han Jie, was also preparing clothes for the event. But, seeing that his brother was still misbehaving, he couldn't help but sigh, "Are you still trying to scheme against Tiffany?"

"Bro, I want to go to the film festival as well."

"You're status is so awkward right now, why would you want to go? Are you planning to be caught by Tiffany and forced to kneel in front of her?" Han Jie asked as he glared at his brother.

"I won't show my face in public. I'll simply take a stroll around the premises. As you know, I haven't stepped outside for a long time."

"Didn't you ask for it?" Han Noona humphed. But, he couldn't hold up against Han Xiuche's nagging in the end, "You can be my driver on the day. But, you can't let anyone see you. Otherwise, we will become a laughing stock again!"

"OK," Han Xiuche nodded.

"By the way, have you seen Tiffany's trailer for her new film?"

"Yes, I've seen it," Han Xiuche replied. "But, according to the skills we have in Korea, it's impossible to achieve the standards in her trailer. She must have hired help from Hollywood. She can fool others, but she can't fool me!"

After hearing this, Han Nonne was a little shocked. So, he tried to confirm what he heard, "What you're saying is, Tiffany got help from Hollywood, but she keeps insisting that the effects were all produced by a Korea team?"

"You don't believe me?"

Han Noona put on his tie as he replied, "Perhaps you're right!"

If that was the case, they could reveal this information to the other films that were about to be released and manipulate them.

"I will find a way to get to the bottom of this. In the meantime, you need to guarantee that no one will recognize you at the film festival."

"I swear!"
