The blurb for my upcoming novel, After Hearing My Rival’s Inner Thoughts [ABO], is below. Feel free to add it to your reading list!
Shen Li, a top-tier Alpha on the verge of winning all three major acting awards, transmigrates into a book and becomes a despised, disposable scumbag Alpha.
In the original novel, thanks to a 98% pheromone match, Shen Li smoothly marries Sheng Xing, the Omega heiress of the Sheng family. She goes from being a pretty face with no talent to a leading actress whose role is bought with her wife’s money.
After the wedding, Shen Li keeps living off her wife without changing her ways. One day she’s cuddling up to a rising star from her cast at an amusement park, grabbing plush toys together; the next, she’s having a candlelit dinner with her assistant and patting her head; the day after that, she’s secretly trying to move Sheng Xing’s assets into her own name.
Even when she’s repeatedly caught on camera, she dares to stare right into the lens. Every time, she publicly humiliates Sheng Xing.
In the end, she loses her reputation, suffers damage to her glands, and is thrown out with nothing.
-
On her first day after transmigrating into the book, Shen Li finds herself in a mansion, with Sheng Xing tossing a pile of photos onto the table in front of her.
In them, Shen Li is beaming as she enters and leaves a hotel with another woman.
Sheng Xing’s beautiful, haughty face looks tired, and her lips tremble as she says:
“Shen Li, let’s get divorced.”
Shen Li thinks for a moment. For once, she doesn’t try to talk her way out of it or cling to her. She simply replies:
“Okay.”
That night, Sheng Xing goes into heat.
The whole villa fills with the rich scent of gardenia pheromones.
Shen Li pushes open the bedroom door. The usually haughty heiress is curled up on the carpet, her porcelain-pale skin flushed an unnatural red, her almond-shaped eyes glistening with tears.
“Shen Li, you’re despicable…”
Sheng Xing’s voice trembles, her words barely coherent.
As a top-tier Alpha in her previous life, Shen Li can tell at a glance that the situation is urgent.
She drops to one knee and scoops Sheng Xing into her arms, gently brushing her fingertips over her burning cheek.
“Beg me, and I’ll help you.”
“Go to hell. Even if I die…”
“Don’t move.”
Beneath the night sky, Shen Li’s long hair falls over her shoulders. Her enchanting, deep-set peach blossom eyes fixed on Sheng Xing, she leans toward the back of her neck.
“A temporary mark. Be good, it won’t hurt.”
-
Not long after the divorce, the original Alpha heroine appears, ready to pursue Sheng Xing as the original plot dictates and begin a passionate romance with her.
But for some reason, Shen Li doesn’t want to give her back.
A gorgeous, top-tier Alpha with a seductive streak x a proud heiress and CEO Omega

Coming next: After Hearing My Rival’s Inner Thoughts [ABO]
Ying Shi is a double-award-winning actress. Born to humble beginnings, she fought her way to the top. She’s beloved by the public and widely recognized in the entertainment industry as an Alpha acting prodigy.
The person she hates most in this life is the other double-award-winning actress, Lin Yanqing.
A conservatory graduate and top student, Lin Yanqing looks down on an unconventional actress like Ying Shi.
But everyone in the industry knows Lin Yanqing slept her way to the top and has a powerful backer. She’s no good person.
Lin Yanqing steals Ying Shi’s endorsements and competes with her for top billing. Even when Ying Shi has to miss an event because of a serious skin allergy, Lin Yanqing posts a sarcastic Weibo: “I’m in a great mood today. Made soup from scratch.”
Worst of all, she’s also an S+ Alpha.
Like repels like.
Yet directors and producers everywhere see the potential buzz and traffic in pairing the two award-winning actresses. They get cast as co-leads in movies, co-leads in TV dramas, and even share a bed on a variety show.
Wait, what?
“It’s fine, it’s fine, both teachers are Alphas, it’s fine!”
Not long after Ying Shi joins the variety show, news breaks in the music world that one of Lin Yanqing’s closest friends is an Alpha-Alpha lesbian.
Ying Shi takes pleasure in imagining the look on Lin Yanqing’s face when she sees the news. She’s so hostile toward same-sex relationships, after all.
【Why can’t her suppressants cover up that cherry scent today?】
【I want to hug her.】
【She hates me. I have to hold back. Mm.】
Ying Shi: Huh???
Ying Shi seems to have gained the ability to hear her rival’s inner thoughts.
-
Later, Ying Shi discovers that the endorsements Lin Yanqing stole from her turn into huge scandals; the movie they fought over becomes a massive hit, with record-breaking ratings; and drinking Lin Yanqing’s homemade soup helps soothe her skin allergy…
It seems Lin Yanqing likes her.
“Sorry, Lin Yanqing. I’m a normal Alpha. I only like delicate, frail Omegas. You wouldn’t want me to bite you, either, would you?”
【Her cherry scent is even sweeter today.】
【Where should I start biting her later?】
Ying Shi: Bite me???
-
【It’s true, I’m no good person. I’ve wanted to mark you since the first time I saw you.】
【Ying Shi, if it’s you, I don’t care what your gender is.】
【An actress who picks public fights but secretly shows off and can read minds x a cool, calculating actress with an unrequited crush】
1. They both take turns in the lead. Both are strong, both are Alphas, and both are new to relationships.
Theme: Hold on to your dreams and stay true to yourself.
Both Xiao Shen and Mr. Sheng should speak well and kiss well! [Kiss] [kiss]
It was so beautiful. Men were menstruating, and women were going insane. It was the nemesis of depression and the savior of vegetative people. It was so good that the five-guaranteed households in the village missed and loved the widow. It was so good that tears flowed from the corners of the mouth and flooded into the Qiantang River. It was so beautiful. It was God who was my rose. It illuminated my dark life and made my world meaningful. I ran away, jumped hard, and danced the tango on the balcony of the 20th floor. It made me realize that God does exist. I was so good that I couldn't stop crying.
