After the Discarded Alpha Was Avenged by a Mad Beauty of an Omega

Shang Lu’s mother damaged her glands when she was young. After her secondary gender manifested, she became an E-rank Alpha. She couldn’t smell pheromones or make a permanent mark, making her little different from a Beta.

She was stiff and dull, and not good with words, but strikingly beautiful. She attracted plenty of admirers, and confessions were a regular occurrence.

Shang Lu turned them all down. When someone wouldn’t take no for an answer, she told them she was a defective Alpha.

The love in the eyes of those who had sworn they could love no one but her instantly became undisguised contempt.

At least she was used to it by then.

On the day of the college entrance exams, Shang Lu was hospitalized after passing out while saving someone. When she woke, she found herself holding a marriage contract.

Only then did she learn that the old woman she’d rescued was the head of Jiangcheng’s top elite family, the Peis. The person who had sent her the contract was the woman’s eldest granddaughter, Pei Changqing, future heir to the Pei Group.

Not wanting to hold Pei Changqing back, Shang Lu told her the truth about being a defective Alpha.

The cool, moonlike woman only smiled faintly. “I don’t mind.”

Shang Lu’s long-dead heart suddenly began to beat again.

After they married, Shang Lu learned that Pei Changqing had a pheromone dysregulation disorder and had a very high sex drive. Since Shang Lu couldn’t mark her, she could only make up for it by increasing how often they were intimate.

Her hands ached so badly she could barely lift them, but Shang Lu felt utterly content.

Only Pei Changqing needed her.

She thought she could live happily ever after with Pei Changqing.

But at some point, Pei Changqing changed. She began ordering Shang Lu around and verbally abusing her. At the height of passion, she even called out Shang Lu’s younger sister Shang Xianyue’s name.

Shang Lu pretended none of it had happened. She couldn’t live without Pei Changqing.

On their first wedding anniversary, Shang Lu brought flowers to Pei Changqing’s office, hoping to surprise her.

“How could I possibly love a defective Alpha? It was just for fun, and you actually believed me. You really are stupid.”

Eyes red, Shang Lu picked up the roses scattered across the floor and bowed to Pei Changqing.

Pei Changqing was an S-rank Omega, the current CEO of the Pei Group and its future heir. Cool as the moon, she was famously intolerant of Alphas.

After a deliberately caused medical accident left her with pheromone dysregulation disorder, she refused to be marked by an Alpha and had to endure the torment day after day.

Then she unexpectedly met an E-rank Alpha whose pheromone concentration was just enough to ease her discomfort without making her lose control.

The little Alpha was clean and pretty, without any of the usual Alpha flaws, and had decent skills. Pei Changqing almost found herself wanting to spend her whole life with her.

Then she was bound to a System and learned that she was the villainous Omega in a good-for-nothing Alpha comeback power fantasy, destined to be humiliated. The story’s Alpha protagonist was Shang Lu.

Shang Lu would take the Pei Group and step over her on the way to the top, while she, once a businesswoman who could move mountains with a word, would end up homeless on the streets.

Pei Changqing decided to strike first.

After cruelly tormenting and abandoning Shang Lu, Pei Changqing discovered that it had all been a prank by the System.

She went to beg Shang Lu to take her back, but someone new was already by Shang Lu’s side.

“President Pei, if you have even a shred of decency, stay away from our Lu Lu. She can’t take any more of your games.”

After divorcing Pei Changqing, Shang Lu stumbled into a career as a singing streamer.

The top donor in every livestream was always the same person, supporting her from unknown newcomer to internet sensation.

They arranged to meet, but Shang Lu was knocked unconscious. When she woke, she was back at the Pei house, facing a gaunt Pei Changqing.

She was trapped in the marital home they had once shared. Before each livestream, she had to cover the mottled kiss marks on her body.

“Why don’t you react to me?” Pei Changqing screamed hysterically. “Why!”

Shang Lu glanced at her coolly, with no love left in her eyes. “Because I’m a defective Alpha. I can’t smell your pheromones.”

Pei Changqing: “Then you’ll never leave my side for the rest of your life!”

“Loving you makes me sink, loving you makes me cry. If it goes on, even being ruined is enough for me.”, “Painful Love”

Coming soon: “After the Skin-Starved Alpha Was Used and Abandoned”

When Yu Xuanxing was seventeen, two Omegas moved into her home: her stepmother and her stepsister, Jiang Chenyue.

Raised as the apple of her family’s eye, Yu Xuanxing wouldn’t tolerate strangers invading her territory and treated the mother and daughter coldly.

Jiang Chenyue was gentle, beautiful, and good at everything, always outshining Yu Xuanxing. Even Yu Xuanxing’s mother favored her and asked her to keep Yu Xuanxing in line.

That only made Yu Xuanxing hate her more. She opposed her at every turn and even forced her to become her personal lackey, ordering her to serve tea, carry bags, run errands, and do her homework for her…

She also threatened her not to tell the adults.

After spending some time together, Yu Xuanxing grudgingly accepted Jiang Chenyue and her mother.

One day, Yu Xuanxing couldn’t resist licking Jiang Chenyue, and got caught in the act.

To prove she wasn’t a pervert, Yu Xuanxing had no choice but to confess that she suffered from skin hunger.

She thought Jiang Chenyue would spread the news of her condition, but instead Jiang Chenyue offered to ease her discomfort with her own body whenever the skin hunger flared up.

She let Yu Xuanxing kiss, hug, and touch her. When Yu Xuanxing differentiated as an Alpha, she even tempted her to mark her.

Bathed in tenderness, Yu Xuanxing fell completely, madly, head-over-heels in love with Jiang Chenyue! She often lay in her arms, dreaming about their future.

But when their mothers’ relationship suddenly fell apart, Jiang Chenyue walked away without hesitation, leaving Yu Xuanxing heartbroken.

Yu Xuanxing swore she would make that heartless woman pay.

*

When Jiang Chenyue was in her final year of high school, her mother remarried, and the two of them moved into her new husband’s home.

He had a daughter who was unfriendly toward them.

For her mother’s happiness, Jiang Chenyue tried her hardest to win over the Yu family, especially their precious darling, Yu Xuanxing.

But the Yu family’s warm atmosphere was so wonderful that Jiang Chenyue envied and longed for it. Little by little, her feigned affection became real.

She wanted to become a true member of the Yu family, so she set her sights on Yu Xuanxing.

She did everything she could to tempt her, and Yu Xuanxing fell for her just as she’d hoped.

Guilt-ridden, Jiang Chenyue let Yu Xuanxing have whatever she wanted. But Yu Xuanxing’s love was so sincere and intense that she didn’t know how to respond. Ashamed of her own unscrupulous methods, she waited anxiously for the day she would be judged.

After her mother’s affair destroyed the marriage, Jiang Chenyue couldn’t bring herself to stay with the Yu family or remain by Yu Xuanxing’s side. So she cruelly broke up with her and left in pain.

*

Yu Xuanxing buckled down and repeated a year of school, finally getting into the same university as Jiang Chenyue.

But on the day she arrived, she saw Jiang Chenyue walking with an Alpha, laughing and chatting as if they were close.

Yu Xuanxing rushed over and grabbed her hand. “What, is this your new target?”

Her tone was harsh, but her eyes were rimmed red.

“You are the star hanging high above me. I am the sinking moon. After our brief crossing, we each go our own way.”
