Plot Twists

On the eve of our wedding, my fiancé, Steven Cooper, suddenly appeared before me with his arms around his first love, Molly Hart. “I love you, and I love Molly too. I’ll still give you the wedding you’ve always wanted, but Molly is the one I’m going to marry.” A sharp pain struck my heart. Just as tears were about to fall, I heard Molly’s thoughts. “What a joke. He keeps offering things that don’t even matter. If he loves me so much, why doesn’t he give me money or buy me a house? “If the system weren’t forcing me to collect affection points from scumbag men, I wouldn’t bother standing here acting out this villainess role with him. “And seriously, with a demand this outrageous, she’s not actually going to agree to it just because she’s head over heels for him, is she? “Even if this is only a pre-wedding test, once she gives in, he'll keep trampling over her boundaries. In the end, she'll be destroyed emotionally and physically, and both she and her baby will lose their lives.” My eyes widened in shock, and the tears instantly disappeared. Maybe I was a little lovestruck, but I definitely didn’t want to die.

Chapter 1

When I didn't immediately argue back, Steven softened his tone.

"Nadia, you need to understand something. A successful man like me is bound to have a few women on the side. Don't worry. From now on, I'll treat both of you fairly.

"It's just that Molly has a stubborn personality. You'll need to be more accommodating toward her. "Otherwise, when she gets jealous, she's capable of anything. If that happens, you'll be the one who suffers."

A look of disdain flashed through Molly Hart's eyes.

Yet I heard her inner thoughts clearly.

"What kind of nonsense is this jerk spouting?

"He's the cheater, but he's pinning the blame on me. I seriously want to slap him so hard he'd stick to the wall!"

At the same time, an electronic voice sounded.

[Host, quit complaining and say the villainess's lines. If you don't, I'll administer an electric shock.]

Molly's expression stiffened.

She took a deep breath and put on an arrogant act.

"Since Steven has spoken, I'll make myself clear too. You may have the title of Mrs. Cooper, but in this house, you'll do as I say. Otherwise..."

I finally became certain that I could really hear her thoughts.

And she was actually a transmigrator with a system.

She looked so miserable trying to play the villainess that I couldn't hold back a laugh.

My laughter left both of them stunned.

Steven's frown deepened, and his voice turned cold.

"What are you laughing at?"

Molly narrowed her eyes slightly, a hint of confusion flashing across them.

But she continued reciting her villainess lines.

"What? Did this get to you?"

I reached out and grabbed Molly's hand.

"Is it true that when you get jealous, you're capable of anything, like Steven said?"

She froze.

I took another step forward.

"Then can you make a plate of homemade barbecue ribs?"

"W-What?"

Molly's face was filled with shock and confusion.

I bit my lip, and my eyes instantly reddened.

"My mom and I only had each other growing up. Whenever I was upset, she'd make homemade barbecue ribs to cheer me up.

"Ever since she passed away, I've never tasted barbecue ribs as good as hers.

"Miss Hart, since you’re capable of anything when you’re jealous... then... could you make me a plate of homemade barbecue ribs that tastes like my mother's?"

The living room fell silent for a full three seconds.

Steven stared at me as if I had lost my mind before finally forcing out a response.

"Nadia York, what exactly are you playing at?"

Molly's expression was equally priceless.

Meanwhile, she was still questioning her system in her head.

"System, this isn't how the story is supposed to go. Wasn't the female lead supposed to cry, agree to everything, and silently endure the humiliation in the original novel?"

I love it when the story takes a turn you don't expect. There are so many system stories that are kind of the same thing. This is one of only a handful that I've seen where they completely change the narrative

"She really looks pitiful. And I actually do know how to make homemade barbecue ribs. Maybe I should..."[No! Host, have you forgotten your mission?][I don't know why the female lead is acting like this, but what kind of villainess makes homemade barbecue ribs to cheer up the female lead? That's completely off-script!]I said nothing and simply kept looking at Molly.Steven clearly felt that his authority had been challenged."Nadia York, stop changing the subject. This matter..."I stepped over and stood beside Molly."If she's the other person you love, then I have no objection."Steven choked on his words, clearly not expecting me to agree so readily.…The truth was, I'd already known about the so-called pre-wedding test a week earlier.That day, Molly organized the gathering, and I intended to step onto the balcony for some fresh air.Instead, I accidentally overheard Steven drinking with a few friends on the second-floor terrace."Steven, are you really planning to marry Nadia?"

"How about I help you put her through a pre-wedding test and see how she reacts?"If she passes the test, you can always marry her afterward. If she makes a scene, then we'll keep the pressure on until she accepts it."Zach was the first to slap his thigh in approval."Now that's a great idea! This way, you'll end up with an obedient wife too."Steven remained silent for a long time before finally speaking."Fine. But don't take it too far."The moment I heard those words, I couldn't even process how much they hurt.When I first met him, the Cooper family had just gone bankrupt, and Molly left him because of it.I was the one who quit my job to help him build his business from the ground up, running from client to client through freezing winters until my feet were covered in frostbite.I was also the one who drank with clients until I ended up in the hospital just to help him secure major contracts.Back then, he introduced me to everyone as his fiancée, his voice full of pride.But af

"Nadia York, don't think I'll let you off just because you're acting like this."This house will be mine sooner or later. You're nothing more than a baby-making machine for Steven. Once he gets tired of you, you'll be nothing."I smiled at her."You're right."She was visibly taken aback.Then she marched upstairs in her heels and pushed open the door to the master bedroom."Since you're the one who invited me to move in, this room is mine. You can sleep in the guest room!"I leaned against the doorframe and nodded with a smile."Okay."She stared at me for two seconds before continuing arrogantly."And another thing. From now on, I make the rules in this house. You need my permission before you do anything.""Sure.""You..."Molly faltered.She opened her mouth, seemingly trying to think of something even harsher to say.I kept smiling."Whatever you want."Her eyes widened.A moment later, her face turned red."System, why do I feel like this is going in a really weird direction..."

[Recalculating... Accessing favorability data for target 'Nadia York'...][Current favorability toward Molly Hart: 70/100.][Reevaluating mission pathway... If the target is switched from 'Steven Cooper' to 'Nadia York,' current progress can be transferred automatically. Based on current calculations, approximately 63% of the original mission progress will be retained.][System assessment: Target switch is viable. Does the host wish to confirm?]Molly's mouth fell open.It stayed that way for several seconds.Then she threw her arms around me and let out an ear-piercing squeal."So that works too?! Tell me, what do I need to do to make you like me even more?"Barbecue ribs? I can make fried chicken too! I can make soup! I can cook anything!"She shook me so hard that my head started spinning.I laughed and caught her hands."You only need to do one thing."Molly immediately straightened up, looking as though she were prepared to charge into battle."Just say the word! I'd do anything.

The plane cut through the clouds as Molly turned to look at me."I've been meaning to ask—how did you convince the entire tech team to quit? We're not talking about one or two people. It was the whole department."I slowly rotated my coffee cup in my hand and shot back a question."You don't know?"Molly spread her hands."The system only told me how your story ended in the original novel and what plotline I was supposed to follow. Honestly, I don't know much beyond that."The clouds drifted past outside the window, and my thoughts returned to five years ago.Back then, Steven wasn't the confident, successful businessman he was today.When news of the Cooper family's bankruptcy broke, the entire city treated it like entertainment.A once-powerful business empire collapsed overnight.His father was taken in for investigation, his mother was hospitalized after falling ill, and Steven went from being the golden heir everyone wanted to be around to someone people avoided like the plague.A

After our product launched, it performed far better than anyone expected.Within two years, we secured three rounds of funding.Within three years, the company's valuation increased twentyfold.Steven returned to the world he was familiar with.He went back to wearing custom-tailored suits.He went back to riding in luxury cars.And then he started to change.At first, it was the endless business dinners.

Molly raised her glass."To you."I raised mine as well."To freedom."Molly and I rented an apartment near the ocean while we were abroad.It had two bedrooms, a living room, and a balcony with a view of the sea.After spending half a month enjoying ourselves, we returned home and settled in a different city.The days that followed were a blur of activity.Molly handled the money and assets we'd brought with us.She turned out to have a surprising talent for it.Probably because of whatever life she'd lived before arriving in this world, though she'd never gone into much detail about it.Meanwhile, I began preparing to launch a new company.Half a month later, the core members of the engineering team started arriving one after another.At first, Steven refused to let them go.He offered raises, promotions, and every promise he could think of, but no one stayed.They followed me not because I paid the highest salaries; they followed me because there was trust between us.And that was s

Molly and I treated all of it as a joke.Then we went right back to focusing on the company.After the first client came the second.Then the third.None of the projects were particularly large, but they provided steady business.By the fourth month, the company had already reached profitability.When Molly showed me the financial statements, she looked like she'd just won the lottery."Do you know what this means? It means we don't have to live off our savings anymore! The company can finally support itself!"I watched her excitement and suddenly felt a sense of warmth.But it wasn't the same feeling I'd once had for Steven.What I'd felt for Steven had been dependence, regret, and an inability to let go.That kind of love was like a rope wrapped around your neck, tightening until I could barely breathe.What I had with Molly was different.There were no complicated calculations between us, no debts and anyone keeping score.We simply supported each other.She helped me escape.I help

"If you didn't already have those thoughts, no one could have talked you into them."His expression froze."You say Molly manipulated you, but those words came out of your mouth. That decision was yours."I rose from my chair and walked over to the window."You came up with that pre-wedding test not because Molly told you to, but because you were already worried I'd end up like Mr. Sutton's wife and damage your business."You wanted me and Molly to get along, not because you thought it was best for everyone, but because you wanted the best of both worlds while using her to test my limits."And you're not here because you've realized you were wrong. You're here because your company is falling apart, and you need me to save it."I turned around and looked at him."Am I wrong?"Steven's expression shifted several times before settling into something complicated."Nadia, you've misunderstood..."I cut him off."No, I haven't. I've just finally seen things clearly. You were never the person
