Chapter 1

After work, I got a call from Mom."Elisa, come home for dinner tonight. Poppy’s getting engaged. Come meet your future brother-in-law."I lifted my head from the mountain of documents on my desk. Finally, the moment I had been waiting for was almost here.My sister, Poppy Hart, immediately grabbed the phone. "Elisa, bring your boyfriend too. I saw him in your post. His side profile looked so hot! Bring him home so we can all meet him."I agreed and asked my rich boyfriend, James Porter, to come with me.James was good at handling social situations. Knowing we were meeting my mom, he showed up with expensive gift baskets and premium health supplements. In comparison, my future brother-in-law, Ralph Gardner, came up short. He had brought normal stuff like wine, dessert, and flowers.At dinner, Mom and James hit it off, discussing everything from international news to social trends. The conversation flowed easily.Ralph was quieter and could not contribute to their conversations,

Chapter 2

The women in our family had special genes. For generations, Hart women could only give birth to daughters, and those daughters had to take their mother's surname. Only then would they have a chance to inherit the exchange system.This was just a legend passed down among the Hart women. I never imagined Mom would actually inherit the exchange system.The first time I realized something was wrong was after my college entrance exam results came out.I had always been an excellent student, but I only scored 700 points. Meanwhile, my sister Poppy, who had partied for three years straight, scored 1350.Poppy became the biggest underdog story that year and was interviewed constantly by the media. While classmates and relatives showered her with praise, I became a joke."This is hilarious. The top student only got 700? She must have been cheating on every test before.""She always studied so hard. How did she only get 700? Was the exam really that brutal? I got 1100.""Damn, Poppy reall

Chapter 3

She still had one swap left. I could not risk tipping her off.I did not go inside. I turned around, went back to school, and immediately started interviewing at other companies.Along with my new investment banking offer came a furious call from Mom."Elisa, what's going on? Didn't you say you got a government job? What's this about an investment banking offer?"I played dumb. "Mom, I didn't apply for government jobs. I interviewed at an investment bank, but I didn't get in. Did a bank send an offer to your email? Is it my offer?"Mom, can you show me?"Mom snapped, "It's not yours!" Then, she hung up.I stared at my phone and laughed. Who cared if she swapped the offer? Poppy would probably fail horrendously before her probation period ended.Back when Poppy used my scores to get into a top university, she could not keep up with the coursework at all. She failed multiple classes and nearly flunked out.Mom only managed to get her a degree by bribing every professor and acade

A week later, James picked me up in a luxury car. We went to pick Poppy and Ralph up to join us at the airport.The moment Ralph got into the car, he could not contain his excitement. He took countless selfies with the interior.Poppy looked furious. She slapped his phone out of his hand. "Can you stop embarrassing yourself? It's just a car. What's the big deal? You're acting like such a hick."Ralph's excitement vanished after hearing her harsh mockery. He pocketed his phone, sat back down, and did not say another word.At the airport, James went to find his friends, while Poppy leaned over and whispered in my ear. "Elisa, did James rent this car?"I shook my head with a shy smile. "He just bought it. His old sports car couldn't fit all of us."Poppy looked skeptical. "I don't mean to be rude, but how did someone like James even fall for you? You're not feminine at all."Because of my job, I always dressed in business attire and had developed a no-nonsense management style afte

Chapter 5

On the plane, James's friends were intensely curious about me and asked me a barrage of questions. We chatted about everything under the sun.Suddenly, Ralph let out a scream. Poppy snapped at him irritably. "What are you doing?"Ralph looked terrified. "There's thunder and lightning! What if it hits us? I don't want to die!"One of James's friends laughed. "Relax, man. If the weather was really that bad, the plane wouldn't have taken off in the first place. Planes have lightning protection systems. You'll be fine, don't worry."Poppy looked mortified. "This is so humiliating!"Ralph, completely oblivious, just laughed it off. "Hey, it’s my first time flying. Cut me some slack."A little while later, a flight attendant came by with the meal cart. Ralph perked up with interest. "Excuse me, how much for one of these meals?""Sir, meals are complimentary on this flight."Ralph brightened and grabbed meals for all of us before asking, "Can I get two more? I eat a lot, and one servi

Chapter 6

After getting off the hot air balloon, we returned to the hotel, where an elaborate proposal setup was waiting.Poppy stormed ahead angrily while Ralph trailed behind, trying to appease her. James and I walked at the back with his friends.Honestly, I could not blame Poppy for looking down on Ralph. What kind of man was so cheap?This entire trip, James and his friends paid for everything: food, activities, flights, and hotels. Ralph had not contributed even a single cent. He even tried to piggyback off James's proposal setup for me.Right after I accepted James's diamond ring, Ralph got down on one knee in front of Poppy with a soda can pull tab."Poppy, this place is so romantic. Will you marry me?"James's friends cracked up at the scene."Is this guy for real? He mooches off everyone else's food and fun, and now he's mooching off someone else's proposal?""This is better than reality TV. What, you can't afford your own moment?""I've never actually seen someone propose wit

Chapter 7

Not long after the trip, James started pressuring me to go home with him."I can't wait to marry you, babe. I'm dying to make you my wife."More like dying to kill me! I shivered.I decided to turn up the heat on Poppy.I made sure to bring James home while Poppy was there. I even invited all our aunts and extended family over to meet my boyfriend.James showed up with expensive gifts and health supplements that instantly won everyone over.Compliments flowed freely."In our whole family, Elisa is the most accomplished. She was brilliant in school, excels at work, and even her boyfriend is top tier.""Exactly! James is such a catch. He's perfect for our Elisa!""I have to say, your mom raised two amazing daughters. I heard Poppy's engagement is settled too, right? How's that going?"Poppy's expression darkened. She looked at Mom with reddening eyes.Mom sighed. "Unfortunately, Poppy and the Gardner boy weren't a good match. He was too reserved. It just didn't work out."One

Poppy and James were already tangled together.The pleasure on Poppy's face outweighed any pain. She kept her voice down, afraid Mom and I would hear.Perfect. The plan was almost complete.Early the next morning, I heard her and Mom arguing in hushed voices in the living room."I felt bad for him sleeping on the couch alone. I was just trying to bring him a blanket. How was I supposed to know he'd jump on me?"You have to help me! You've got one swap left, right? Let's just make this work."Mom, please help me. Otherwise, I'll never be happy."A few seconds later, I heard Poppy laugh."Mom, I knew you'd help out! Thank you so much."I had no energy to listen to the rest. After hearing what I needed to hear, my eyelids finally gave out, and I fell asleep.By the time I woke up at noon, Poppy and James were all over each other.Poppy sat in James's lap. The two of them were kissing passionately on the couch, completely absorbed in each other.The weight on my chest finally l

Chapter 9

I stormed out of the house looking furious, but the moment I was outside, I burst out laughing.I had finally handed off the James bomb to someone else. Mom had no more swaps left. Now all I had to do was sit back and enjoy the show.Soon enough, relatives brought me the news that James and Poppy were getting married.Shortly after, I got another call from Mom. I thought she was calling to invite me to the wedding, but instead, she was interrogating me."Elisa, what are you scheming?"I played confused. "Mom, what's wrong? I don't understand what you're talking about."Mom let out a cold laugh. "Drop the act. Why does James have an ex-wife?"I feigned shock. "What? He was married before? Mom, why are you asking me about this? Ask Poppy. Isn't he her boyfriend?"Mom ignored me and hung up.I sneered. The fact that James had been married before was exactly why I chose him.His last wife was a wealthy foreign woman. After he staged an accident and killed her, he inherited a fort

Chapter 10

A week after the wedding, I deliberately went home for the weekend.Poppy answered the door with a sullen expression. When she saw me, her expression soured. She blocked the entrance."What are you doing here?"I pointed at her face. "What happened to you? Did someone hit you?"Poppy shoved my hand away. "None of your business. If you've got nothing to say, get lost. You're not welcome here."I laughed at Poppy's stubbornness. She was always like this. She always wanted to compete with me. Whenever things went well, she could not wait to show off. Whenever things went badly, she would never breathe a word.Struggling in school, failing at work—she never told me about any of it.She always had to prove that she was better than me. If I could handle something, she had to be able to handle it too.This marriage was the same. She probably thought that if I could handle a man like James, she should be able to as well.Even though she was being abused, she had to pretend everything
