After Being Taken Away by a Mad Omega

The main story is complete

What if the keepsake a departed loved one left behind was a living, breathing child?

The child: Thanks for asking, but my mother nearly ruined her life.

She saw both mothers again at a funeral, in black-and-white photographs. Jin Xu held the urn, her brand-new blue school uniform clashing with the suits of the mourners around her.

In the rain, a woman in a dark coat stepped over dead leaves and branches. Her amber eyes fell on the two people on the gravestone. First came surprise, then a faint, mocking smile.

Then she looked up at the girl, barely reaching her shoulder, whose face bore a striking resemblance to the departed woman. Her lips curved into a soft smile. “Come with me. I’ll take care of you.”

Jin Xu had seen Shi Lian before.

In entertainment news, on television, and in the framed photo her Omega mother had kept hidden at the bottom of a box.

Shi Lian was a dazzling star, a top-ranking entertainer at just twenty-four, equally successful as an actress and singer. Jin Xu, by contrast, was the orphaned child of her enemy, taken into her home and treated to torment day after day.

The woman paid her tuition, but never cared for her daily needs. She merely watched from a short distance as Jin Xu skipped class to work for a few dozen yuan, endured bullying and came home covered in bruises, and repeatedly mended her old, ill-fitting clothes.

All her hatred was poured onto Jin Xu, as if to break her.

Until one day, a stack of sketches in Jin Xu’s arms scattered across the floor. The elegant woman picked them up, and all of Jin Xu’s filthy, dark, secret feelings were laid bare before Shi Lian.

The woman smiled, full of tender allure. “Be my lover. I’ll give you five hundred a day.”

After that, Shi Lian really did indulge her far too much.

She let herself be marked on their very first time. She let Jin Xu leave countless love bites on her. She let Jin Xu bury herself in her arms every night. They could do whatever they wanted wherever Jin Xu liked, and Jin Xu could even claim her in front of everyone.

It was almost as if she were truly loved.

Deep in Jin Xu’s heart was the shadow of someone holding an umbrella, a secret no one knew.

She treasured every look Shi Lian gave her, whether it was disdainful, contemptuous, or full of scorn. She accepted them all, as long as Shi Lian looked at her, even if she was looking at her at her most wretched.

She loved Shi Lian in every guise, whether the gentle, polite star on stage or the malicious, teasing woman behind the scenes. Jin Xu had seen every side of her, more than her friends had, more than her fans had.

She didn’t care about Shi Lian’s endless dating rumors. Late at night, she reread every hint of intimacy in the articles, over and over, reopening and healing the glittering scars on her heart.

As long as it was Shi Lian, as long as it had anything to do with her, Jin Xu forgave and accepted all of her caprices, her fickleness, and her bad temper.

Until Shi Lian found the photograph hidden in Jin Xu’s closet, the one Jin Xu had taken from her mother’s belongings, and furiously demanded to know what it was.

Until Jin Xu climbed into that van, her dark eyes curved in a smile as she gently said goodbye to the woman who couldn’t meet her gaze. After that, she vanished without a trace for years.

When they met again, Jin Xu was following the doctor who had rescued her. The grotesque wound in her heart was hidden beneath the fatal scar on her body.

Her gaze no longer followed Shi Lian. Everything she had once given her, all that loyalty and ardor, now belonged to someone else.

But one rainy night, after all those years apart, Shi Lian caught sight of Jin Xu holding the same umbrella she used to carry behind her. She pulled Jin Xu into a dark, gloomy alley, and the umbrella slipped from her hand.

Raindrops splashed into her eyes, while warm, gentle breaths brushed her ear.

Shi Lian was desperately ill. Choking with emotion, she tried to prove that she could give Jin Xu everything after being rejected.

But Jin Xu simply pulled her hand away, smiling carelessly.

“Ah… but we’re not together anymore, Miss Shi. Still, you can rent me for five hundred a day.”

One-on-one, happy ending, no switching roles, both virgins

Content warnings:

Six-year age gap. The top is the type who is sweet, seductive, indulgent, and possessive while pursuing the bottom, with psychological issues, a pain kink, and a tendency to cry. (The reason for the small age gap will be explained in the story.)

Early on, the bottom truly hates the top, enough to want to destroy her.

The bottom had a relationship with the top’s Omega mother. The person she loves most and hates most share the same face.

They begin in a foster relationship, with the top being the vulnerable and seductive one early on.

Coming soon: After Getting the Empress Omega Pregnant

Jiang Wu transmigrates into the body of the stupidest Alpha consort of the powerful Queen Omega of the southern kingdom.

The original owner was foolish and jealous, but truly beautiful. Relying on her looks, she used her family’s influence to enter the harem, dreaming of plucking the moon from the sky. But then her family fell into disgrace, and she died in bitterness without ever meeting the empress.

Jiang Wu was used to living boldly in the modern world. Unable to stomach the stifling intrigues of the palace she’d heard about, she immediately decided to keep her distance from the empress she’d never met.

Unexpectedly, that very night, she accidentally took an aphrodisiac and spent the night with a beauty.

Knowing she’d committed a capital offense, Jiang Wu searched for an official while tearfully fleeing any sign of the empress. Then one day, news spread through the palace that the empress was pregnant, even though she had never summoned anyone since ascending the throne.

As rumors swirled, Jiang Wu was brought in bound hand and foot to the Hall of Mental Cultivation. The woman seated on the throne was regal and elegant. Her phoenix eyes lifted slightly, her expression amused, though her face was pale as she pressed a hand to her abdomen. “Come here and give me my medicine.”

After being drugged, Pei Yu forced herself to enter the harem for the first time and chose the scent she liked best from among all the pheromones, then went into that person’s room.

Who could have known that the stupid Alpha didn’t recognize her at all? She kept asking questions, so Pei Yu had to give her the drug too. Pei Yu left first the next morning, thinking the stupid Alpha would come looking for her. But a month passed, and what arrived before the Alpha was a diagnosis from the Imperial Medical Academy: she was pregnant.

Her face turned livid as she summoned the woman, only to find that the other person had already forgotten her.

And she even said it with perfect solemnity.

“Your Majesty, this humble subject… is face-blind.”

Hah. Face-blind or heart-blind? Once the child is born, the first thing she’ll do is chop off this scoundrel Alpha’s head.

On her first day serving Pei Yu, Jiang Wu used her modern cooking skills to prepare a table full of dishes. When she presented them, Pei Yu was in the middle of retching and nearly chopped her head off.

On her Nth day serving Pei Yu, they ran into assassins. Just as Jiang Wu was about to leap out and take a sword for her, the Omega pulled her back into the carriage. “Idiot, there are plenty of guards outside. Why would I need you?”

On her N+1th day serving Pei Yu, Jiang Wu chatted with some of the other women in the harem about her ideal partner. “Well, someone gentle and faithful. I like the idea of spending a lifetime with just one person.”

That very night, the empress held a knife to her throat. “A lifetime with just one person? Do you think I’m tainted?”

“Do you think I’m not gentle?”

“Or… have you already fallen for someone else?”
