Part 3The Author’s Revenge: A Plot Twist Nobody Saw Coming

Massive compensation demands and overwhelming slander drove me to the rooftop.

When I opened my eyes again, I was back to the day before my deadline.

This time, I wouldn't make the same mistake. I deleted the original content and wrote a new draft.

I constructed the story again, making it even more compelling.

But when I reached the ending, I hesitated.

Before I could even write it, Serena published another new book online.

The serialized content, apart from slight differences in writing style and character names, followed my new plot almost exactly.

And her update schedule mirrored mine perfectly—always three days ahead.

A chill ran down my spine. I searched my room for bugs or cameras.

I checked my computer and the room thoroughly but found nothing.

Forcing myself to calm down, I stopped writing the ending and walked out of my room.

When I have writer's block or feel down, I like to grab a drink from the fridge to take the edge off.

My mind was a mess; I needed alcohol to think.

The weirdest part was that if I didn't publish, I couldn't find any trace of her work.

Her work only appeared after I updated.

But then I saw Serena in the living room. She closed her laptop and smiled at me sweetly.

"Sister, still awake so late?"

Before I could speak, I heard a faint electronic voice.

"Host, still no search results for the ending of Sarah Shen's novel updated in the next three days."

"System, can you only search three days ahead? Not longer?"

"Yes, Host. Being able to predict three days into the future is enough for you to be a genius in this world."

"I will temporarily block her updates. Her content will only appear after you upload yours."
