My Attempt to Pass as an Alpha Failed, and My Archenemy Marked Me

My new novel, Don't Be a Substitute, is now underway. It's a groveling-after-the-breakup story.

Yu Jing still hasn't presented at nineteen, but that doesn't affect her image as a strong, beautiful Alpha in the eyes of her fans. Three years after her debut, she's won a devoted following, and somehow also acquired a rival: Ming Zhu, an actress hailed as the queen of ratings.

Ming Zhu is an Alpha. The two clashed at an event, and Yu Jing assumed they'd never cross paths again. Unexpectedly, they end up invited to the same reality show.

Before filming even begins, their fans are already waging a vicious war on Weibo.

Yu Jing can't help checking the comments, and the more she reads, the angrier she gets.

She can accept being called a has-been, and she can put up with accusations of riding Ming Zhu's coattails. But someone actually questions her gender and says she'll definitely present as an Omega???

Yu Jing holds back the urge to jump into the fight and secretly swears: Once I present as a top Alpha, I'll grind all you antis and your idol into the dirt!

Then she presents as a delicate Omega :)

And Ming Zhu pins her against the wall :)

In their intimate room--

Ming Zhu's fingers brush over the fragile skin covering her gland. Looking down at the delicate girl in her arms, she asks softly, "Are you all right?"

Yu Jing loops both limp arms around her neck, cheeks flushed, and whispers, "Please mark me. I'm begging you."

#All your prejudices toward me eventually became affection#

A versatile singer and dancer, sweet and salty, Omega x a superb actress, cool-faced but gentle Alpha

Content warnings: 1. Many personal worldbuilding details; Alphas don't have penises.

2. The plot is melodramatic and the romance is slow-burn. Read with caution if that's not your thing.
