Bound by the Cool, Obsessive Actress O

Shi Miao is a low-ranking alpha and an obscure actress with a pretty face. Sadly, after twenty years in the industry, she's still a nobody.

Then a windfall lands in her lap: she gets cast on a nationally renowned dating show,

and somehow ends up living in a huge villa.

The guests arrive one by one: a veteran singer, a girl-group dance lead, a popular young actress. Every one of them is a bigger star than the last.

Trembling with nerves, Shi Miao shuts her eyes and draws a number:

Your dating partner: Best Actress Jiang.

Jiang Qingmian is a top-tier Omega and a nationally acclaimed, award-winning Best Actress. Cool and distant, restrained and chaste, she's the unattainable moonlight in everyone's heart.

Rumor has it the actress once had a lover outside the industry. They were deeply devoted and spent years together, until that lover died in an accident.

As it happens, that deceased outsider...

was Shi Miao's mentor, whose face she can't remember.

Shi Miao wants to die on the spot. "Senior Jiang, how about I ask the director if we can draw again..."

Before she can finish, the tip of a high heel brushes her calf, slides down, and gently presses against the top of her foot.

The woman's soft fingertips grip Shi Miao's chin, and the rich, sweet scent of an Omega floods her nose.

An amused voice slips into her ear. "Xiao Shi, why are you being so formal?"

"Be a good girl and call me Mentor's Wife."

Day one of the dating show: Mentor's Wife is tired from wearing heels, so Shi Miao has to massage her feet.

Day two: Mentor's Wife got drunk and fell asleep, so Shi Miao has to carry her back to her room.

It's all part of easing her mentor's burdens and showing respect to her teacher.

Day n of the dating show: Looking at the disheveled bed and the red marks on Mentor's Wife's collarbone, Shi Miao falls into deep thought. It seems she may have... taken a little too good care of her.

Near the end of the show, the crew arranges a confession segment.

Shi Miao thinks Mentor's Wife has long since moved on from the past. She gathers her courage to confess, but accidentally sees the photo album on her phone.

Tens of thousands of photos, all of the same woman. Her features and the beauty mark at the corner of her eye are exactly like Shi Miao's.

I'm... nothing but a replacement, a toy to amuse her.

Shi Miao is thunderstruck.

She immediately turns down Jiang Qingmian's romantic message and chooses to leave, never expecting to be stopped at the villa gate.

On a stormy night, Jiang Qingmian runs after her. Her silk nightdress is soaked through, her black hair winding along her porcelain-white neck, and dark madness surges in her eyes.

Her out-of-control pheromones flood the air, rich and cloyingly sweet, mingled with the scent of blood.

Her possessiveness is dangerously intense.

She pins Shi Miao hard against the iron gate, her fingertips leaving red marks. Her cool lips brush Shi Miao's earlobe, her gaze dark as she whispers softly, "Are you going to leave me again?"

"Don't even think about leaving."

"I belong to you. I'm yours alone."

"I won't let myself... lose you again."

Shi Miao freezes. Wait, what do you mean, lose you again?
