My Gold-Digging Plot Twist: Becoming Besties With My MIL
The Unexpected Plot Twist
Kim Taehyung, a simple omega, found himself in an entirely new reality, a novel, to be exact. His role? The male lead's gold-digging first love. He had two clear paths laid out: stick to the script and be the villain, or somehow, against all odds, win over the notoriously difficult mother-in-law
Kim Taehyung
Easy choice
**scoffed
Kim Taehyung
I choose to become a gold digger
**muttered
His mind raced with possibilities. Get the money, buy flashy cars, live a ridiculously luxurious life. As for the male lead's undying affection?
Kim Taehyung
Love? Who needs it?
He thought, already mentally spending his future millions on designer clothes and exotic vacations
His first hurdle: a meeting with the formidable matriarch of Jeon family, Jeon Jin. He expected a cold, stern face, a sharp lecture, and a check discreetly slipped across the table with a warning to disappear
He even rehearsed his most convincing act of feigned heartbreak, ready to collect his ₩20 million and make a dramatic exit
Kim Taehyung
**flip his imaginary hair
He sat across from her in the lavish restaurant, bracing for the inevitable
Kim Taehyung
Give me ₩20 million, and I'll leave your son
**declared, trying to sound as unlikable as possible
But then, the most unexpected thing happened. Jeon Jin smiled. A genuine, warm smile. he slid an envelope across the table, thick with cash
Jeon Seokjin
Here's ₩2 million for you—may you always be happy, may you always be joyful
Kim Taehyung
**blinked
"What? This wasn't in the script! Aren't the mothers-in-law supposed to be cold, strict, and throw money at you to break up with their sons, with a sneer? Then why was his so different? His meticulously planned gold-digger life just hit a delightful, confusing snag"
Kim Taehyung
"An..and where is my ₩20 million?"
**disbelief

This story is inspired by a novel with some changes
Chapter - 1
The summer sun was like a venomous snake. If he could avoid going out, Kim Taehyung would never step outside, but today was a "must-go-out" kind of day.
He went downstairs, glanced at the scorching sun, and silently pulled out his umbrella. Though his face was shielded, his arms were still exposed to the sun as he was wearing tee, Taehyung quickened his pace and hailed a taxi at the entrance of the neighborhood
Kim Taehyung
Driver, to Scenic Avenue, Green Leaf Restaurant
The driver, hearing his sweet and clear voice, couldn't help but glance back. The boy in the back seat was wearing a short-sleeved top, his skin glowing white, his face delicate and pretty, with small, refined features and lively eyes. His hair was short, just reaching his shoulders, with two curls at the ends. he looked like a college student.
Driving a beautiful Omega put the driver in a good mood. He started the meter, turned the car around, and casually asked with a smile
irrelevant people
Going on a date?
Taehyung hesitated for a moment before nodding. Yes, he was going on a date...
Kim Taehyung
"Except, my date was my boyfriend's mother. Who would believe that!"
**thinking
Kim Taehyung had transmigrated. Before this, he was just an ordinary music college student, but now he found himself in the body of the male lead's first love from a CEO novel he had stayed up late reading.
The novel didn't spend much time describing the first love. he could be summed up in eight words: beautiful on the outside, empty on the inside. Apart from his looks, he was far outclassed by the female lead in every other aspect
Kim Taehyung
"The original owner was a student at Qinghua University's art department, but his grades were average, and his family background was ordinary. He was ambitious but shallow, and though he was good-looking, he was a materialistic gold-digger. After meeting the male lead's mother once, he took 20 million and left."
The female lead, on the other hand, came from a wealthy family, graduated from a world-renowned university, and was the epitome of a rich, beautiful, and kind-hearted woman. After breaking up with his first love, the male lead met the noble, beautiful, and kind-hearted female lead and lived a happy, worry-free life in the lap of luxury.
Kim Taehyung
"Today, the original host had planned to have hot pot with the male lead, Jeon Jungkook, but instead of Jungkook, his mother, Jeon Jin, showed up at the restaurant. The original host was utterly shocked"
Jin got straight to the point, pointing out all the ways the original host was unsuitable for his son. In the end, he handed over a check for 20 million and said the classic line that all CEO novel mothers say
Kim Taehyung
"Here's 20 million. Leave my son."
Chapter - 2
Kim Taehyung
"Speaking of Jin, the novel only mentioned that he came from a prestigious family, a scholarly household, and had his own career in the entertainment industry"
Kim Taehyung
"Let me check on the internet"
Information - Kim Seokjin was a triple-crown actress, known for his acting skills, strong delivery of lines, and excellent reputation. He was also a wealthy Omega with countless luxury cars and mansions, the epitome of a successful life.
Kim Taehyung
"From head to toe, he exuded wealth, which explained why he could casually offer 20 million"
**nods to himself
Kim Taehyung
"Both mother and son are my walking atm"
Kim Taehyung
"Now the question was, should I choose the male lead and let Seokjin become the villainous mother-in-law who breaks up the couple, or take the 20 million and disappear?"
Kim Taehyung
Of course, chose the latter. That was 20 million!
**exclaims
irrelevant people
Driver - **look at him
Kim Taehyung
**awkward smile
Kim Taehyung
"I might never earn that much in my lifetime. Why not take the money and leave gracefully instead of making a mess of things?"
**eyes filled with determination
Kim Taehyung
"I can already see myself spending the money on luxury cars, clothes, bags and some hot men"
**lick his lips
Kim Taehyung
hahaha
**give an evil laugh
irrelevant people
Driver - **giving side eyes
It took half an hour to reach Green Leaf Restaurant. Taehyung put away his umbrella, and looked around for Jungkook, just in case the plot had changed and he needed to be prepared
However, there was no sign of Jeon Jungkook in the restaurant, nor anyone else. Only at the three o'clock direction sat a Omega wearing sunglasses.
He had big, black wavy hair, and the sunglasses covered half of his face, revealing a delicate chin and lips painted in a brownish-red shade. he wore a gray knit top and brown wide-leg pants, exuding an aura that kept people at a distance
His face overlapped with the photos Taehyung had seen online. This was Kim Seokjin aka Jeon Jin.
Kim Taehyung
**took a step back
irrelevant people
Waiter - Are you Omega Kim Taehyung? That Mr is waiting for you
**polite smile
The waiter led Taehyung over, and he could only pretend not to know who Seokjin was, sitting down with a look of confusion
Jeon Seokjin
**Took off his sunglasses, revealing a meticulously made-up face
Kim Taehyung
**gulp looking at his face
Jeon Seokjin
You must be Kim Taehyung. I'm Jeon Seokjin, Jeon Jungkook's mother. I'm sorry to meet you like this.
Jeon Seokjin
The reason I'm meeting you today is...
Jeon Seokjin
**pursed his lips and spread his hands helplessly
Perhaps because breaking up a couple was hard to say out loud, Seokjin didn't continue. If it were the original host, Taehyung would probably have been intimidated by this scene. In the novel, the original host felt so ashamed in front of Seokjin that he wished he could disappear. But Taehyung was prepared. he was willing to play the villain
Kim Taehyung
I know. You don't have to say it. I already know everything
