Chapter 1

The biting, sarcastic voice of my fiancee, Madison Hodge, rang out once more."Can you stop eating? I can see your double chin already. Do you seriously expect me to marry you when you look as fat and ugly as a pig? I'm warning you. If you don't get your weight down to 140 pounds, you can forget about us getting married!"I stared at my reflection in the mirror, having just gotten over the shock of hearing my cat, Furball's, thoughts.Standing at 6 feet tall and weighing 160 pounds meant I had a perfectly healthy body weight, but Madison said I looked like a pig.All along, out of my deep love for her, I tried my best to lose weight. I ate one meal a day and worked out like crazy all the time. Despite how starved and exhausted I was, I was desperate to lose the weight and earn her approval.Yet, not only did she not care about how hard it was for me, but she kept mocking me with snide remarks.I was beyond disheartened.Meanwhile, Daniel Webb stuffed the imported fruits I bought

On the other hand, Daniel's expression darkened, and his eyes blazed with jealousy.At the very next moment, he pulled me away and said, "Cut that out, Greg. Stop trying to flaunt your relationship in front of me. Look at you. You're a pig right now. Aren't you afraid you'd crush her under your weight?"You should focus on coming up with your weight loss plan instead. Don't end up putting in more weight instead of losing it."I let him drag me off, but my gaze turned even colder.His jealousy was as clear as day. Why hadn't I noticed it sooner? Just how dumb was I all this time?Flinging his hand off, I said, "I've already arranged a consultation with a nutritionist and signed up for a bodybuilding class. I'll be working on a weight loss plan that includes both watching my diet and exercising, so I'm sure I'll get the weight off soon enough."Madison perked up at once. "Bodybuilding class sounds good. I hear guys who complete the training develop muscles in all the right places—b

Daniel had even gotten a new haircut. All in all, he looked pretty handsome now.Acting like I couldn't see the smug look in his eyes, I pretended to grumble in frustration, "I don't know how this happened either. I barely eat anything all day, and my coach supervises me each time I exercise, so why haven't I lost any weight?"Daniel could barely stop himself from grinning at the sight of my defeatedness and despair."Maybe it's just fate. I was probably born lucky. No matter how much fried chicken and burgers I eat every day, I still manage to slim down and keep the weight off. Don't you think so, Maddie?" he remarked.Madison was a pragmatic woman—almost to a fault, really. Even though she'd always scorned Daniel in the past, now that he looked a lot more attractive, she began speaking to him in a much gentler tone."That's right, Danny. With a body like yours, any woman would feel proud to be by your side in public."After the two exchanged a flirtatious glance, she began to p

Three months later, the wedding ceremony proceeded as planned. My wedding suit had been made to fit me if I weighed 140 pounds, which Madison considered to be my ideal weight. Since it didn't fit me now, I just changed into a random suit instead.When Madison saw me, she could hardly believe her eyes."Greg! It's been three months, and you haven't lost a single pound—you've actually ballooned into a pig. I'm so disappointed in you. You don't deserve to be my groom!"In reality, I'd already dropped back down to 160 pounds, which was a perfectly healthy weight. I wasn't fat in the slightest. She was just being overly critical of me and insisted on tearing me down like this.Meanwhile, all of her relatives from the countryside had also crowded around to make comments about me."Madison, didn't you say your fiance was tall and handsome? Why is he so fat? How much does he eat at home every day?"Madison's parents, the Hodges, were eyeing me disdainfully as well."I even bragged to ou

Chapter 5

The man who walked in could barely even be called a man anymore. Daniel looked like a walking skeleton, his black best man's suit hanging loosely off him. He was so frail that he had to lean against the wall for support as he slowly inched his way over.He was so gaunt that his cheeks had caved in completely, his complexion ashen. Perhaps due to how sunken the rest of his face was, but his eyes bulged unnaturally, like they might pop out at any second.Worst of all, because he'd lost so much weight, his hair started to shed from malnutrition. Only a sparse ring of hair along the sides remained.His arms also looked thinner than a baby's.He staggered toward Madison, only for her to recoil in disgust after having just vomited everything she had in her stomach."What happened to you? You're a bag of bones now. Don't come near me…"Madison was staring wide-eyed at him. She had a hard time believing that this skeletal man was the same guy she'd been fooling around with in bed just th

Chapter 6

Even now, Daniel was still deluded enough to think that Madison would choose to be with him. For a moment, I couldn't even tell whether he was naive or just plain stupid.Madison had only hooked up with Daniel because he looked hot, and she felt good to be seen out with him. Now that he'd embarrassed her in front of everyone, there was no way she'd actually be with him.Sure enough, Madison said bluntly, "You've got the nerve to say that? This is all your fault, you ugly freak! You drove Greg and me apart. Our relationship had been perfectly fine all along. If it hadn't been for you, I never would've misunderstood him."Daniel stumbled backward in disbelief, his gaunt expression filled with hurt. "How can you say that, Maddie? When you held me the other night, you said you wanted to be with me forever! Have you forgotten the oath we made together?"You said yourself that you don't love Greg at all. You're only with him for the money. You said you'd grown sick of him ages ago, and t

Chapter 7

"I'm going to make one thing clear to all of you now—I'm the one who's dumping Madison on our wedding day," I declared. "There's no reason for me to be with a cheater like her. I might even end up catching something from her instead."After saying that, I turned to leave, but Madison grabbed my arm before I could get very far away. I'd tossed the ring at her with all my might, so her forehead was now bruised and bleeding.As she held her hand to her wound, she said with a frantic expression, "You can't leave like that, Greg! This is my wedding day! If you leave, who am I going to marry? I'll become a laughingstock!"Besides, it's not like I ever caused any harm to you. Sure, I fooled around a bit, but what's so wrong about that? You're fat, and you have no family."If we have kids in the future, you won't even have parents who can help us with them. My parents are the ones who will have to babysit the kids. And if we ever need money, you don't have a family to rely on either. Come

Chapter 8

Daniel said to me, "Greg, I know I made a terrible mistake. I should never have betrayed our friendship for a woman. Friends are the only people who'd stay with you for life. I never should've been so blind as to believe that bitch Madison."I've already suffered my punishment, Greg. Let's just put this behind us and start anew, okay? We've been friends for a decade now. Out of consideration for that, just give me another chance."One time, I'd been on the verge of telling him that I no longer held a grudge against him—that he should leave and stop coming to see me.But Furball's thoughts gave me such a fright that I dared not say a word."Don't be fooled by how earnestly this man is apologizing right now! It's all an act. He made a new deal with the system. If you say anything along the lines of forgiving him or that you're no longer mad at him, he can immediately swap his weight with you again, Master."Ugh. Why won't he go away? Why does he keep bothering my master! But it make
