What's Up with the Rich Heiress O?

*

Xu Siran is a Beta.

She hopes to find a partner who is also a Beta.

But fate has other plans. The burden of a family-arranged marriage falls on her. Her match is the eldest daughter of the Ni family, Ni Jia: an S-rank Omega, a young but already powerful family heir, cool, elegant, and untouchable.

As for why she was chosen, it was entirely because her match’s elders still believed in matching birth charts in this new century. After countless calculations, they picked Xu Siran, the most unremarkable and ordinary candidate.

They say the eldest Miss Ni is strict, stiff, chaste, and a model of propriety in every word and deed. She is also the disciplinarian who punishes the younger members of her family.

Xu Siran doesn’t like arranged marriages, and she especially doesn’t like... a partner like this.

After much deliberation, she decides to make the other woman be the one to bring up divorce.

-

Cold-shouldering a woman as untouchable as a flower on a high peak obviously won’t work, so Xu Siran decides to try a new kind of “hot treatment,” doing the opposite

1. Bombarding her with messages and calls:

[Good morning, I’m up!]

[I woke up so happy this morning because I dreamed about you last night.]

[Big Sis, I miss you so much. Can I come see you today?]

But a little while later, a message from Ni Jia pops up: [Sure. I’ll have the driver pick you up.]

Xu Siran: ?

2. Becoming her clingy little shadow:

On the weekend, wherever Ni Jia goes, Xu Siran follows. Ni Jia goes fishing, so Xu Siran learns to fish too. Ni Jia has a meeting, so Xu Siran follows her into the study. At bedtime, she even crosses the line and sprawls on the sofa in the master bedroom, giving Ni Jia no room to breathe.

When Xu Siran makes her request, Ni Jia calmly asks, “Want to sleep together?”

Xu Siran: ?!

3. Releasing her pheromones “whenever she feels like it” after presenting a second time:

One day, Xu Siran unexpectedly presents a second time. Knowing Ni Jia hates Alphas, she releases a little pheromone whenever Ni Jia is around, becoming the “awful” Alpha who can’t control herself in Ni Jia’s eyes.

She thinks the young heiress will finally hate her!

But

After taking off her gold-rimmed glasses and removing her pheromone bracelet, Ni Jia always looks at her with those deep, unruffled eyes and, in a perfectly calm voice, says things Xu Siran can’t handle and can’t stay calm around.

“How many times do you need to be marked?”

“Is this kind of soothing okay?”

“Try another position. Can I bite you a little deeper?”

Their pheromones mingle in the room. Ni Jia leans close to her ear, her breath as light as an orchid’s: “...Siran, could I, mm.”

Xu Siran’s face turns scarlet as she covers Ni Jia’s mouth.

Who said the young heiress was a chaste old fuddy-duddy?!

How on earth is she supposed to get a divorce now??!!

A younger college girl who acts clingy but can’t handle teasing, genuinely proper and serious vs. an older woman who seems like an untouchable flower but is only pretending to be chaste

Jiang Xici transmigrates into a book.

The System tells her: [You’re a gloomy, obsessive villainess. You’ve secretly coveted the male lead for years. Unable to have him, you become completely corrupted. From then on, you provoke, humiliate, and imprison the heroine. You especially love tying her up...]

Jiang Xici, who has won Good Student awards since childhood: ? Huh?

-

Even though she knows she’ll be punished, Jiang Xici still can’t bring herself to do the missions.

Because she’s read this romance novel. She can’t remember the male lead at all, but she really likes the heroine. She’s a fan of hers and knows she’s a beautiful, strong, tragic woman whose cool exterior hides a soft heart.

She doesn’t want to hurt her.

So

System: [Provocation Mission One failed. Punishment: Level One electric shock.]

System: [Humiliation Mission One failed. Punishment: Level One heat.]

System: [Humiliation Mission Two failed. Punishment: Level Two high fever.]

And Jiang Xici, completely unharmed: Huh?

It isn’t until she fails another mission and, still unscathed, lets herself hope she’s gotten lucky, that she accidentally finds the heroine, Wei Jintan, hiding in a cramped room, burning with fever.

The heroine, usually as cool as fresh snow, is flushed now, fragile as a flower bud that might tremble at the slightest touch.

Jiang Xici finally realizes a bug in the System has been punishing the heroine instead: !??

...Wait... why are these punishments so weird?!

-

Because of this bug, Jiang Xici plans to do the missions just well enough to scrape by.

But not only are the punishments weird, the so-called provocation and humiliation missions are also... weird.

Provocation Mission Three: Make physical contact with the heroine.

Humiliation Mission Six: Make the heroine sit on your lap.

Humiliation Mission Ten: Kiss the heroine for more than five minutes.

Jiang Xici, gradually short of breath: ●///●?

Even weirder

In the study, Jiang Xici looks at the heroine sitting on her lap, eyes lowered. For the third time, she hesitates, wanting to give up. Wei Jintan, who should hate her most of all, cups her face and kisses her gently, her voice as soft as a tender murmur.

“...Should this mission involve using my tongue?”

Jiang Xici, already blushing scarlet: !?... Huh?!

#What’s going on with the heroine...?#

#Wait, isn’t this a romance novel?#

#The punishments are weird. How are the rewards even weirder?!#

★An apparently gloomy, obsessive yandere who’s really a silly puppy top vs. a flirtatious cat who seems sweet but has a genuinely yandere streak

★Reader’s Guide:

☆Sweet romance, devoted to each other in body and heart. Cici and Tan only, only, only love each other ovo

☆More details to come if I think of any!

Xu Xining grew up dependent on others, constantly subjected to cold treatment. When her aunt once again arranged a blind date for her, she chose to come out publicly.

Threatened with being sent to the hospital to be “fixed” and cut off from the family, Xu Xining had prepared in advance. She made her decision and went to Yunlian Mountain to sketch and clear her head.

On her first day at a guesthouse on Yunlian Mountain, Xu Xining found a very beautiful calico cat.

The cat was cute, clingy, and proud. It had to be coaxed to eat and cuddled to sleep. Every day, it wrapped the fluffy tip of its tail around Xu Xining. She was delighted, and even took the kitten along when she went into the mountains to sketch.

After all, people without cats could never understand the joy of having one!

-

But little by little, Xu Xining began to feel that something was strange.

For example

In the morning, she opened the window to see a row of birds on the treetops, chirping: “I’ll give the Mountain God’s beloved pet the most brilliant flowers!”

Xu Xining: ?

At noon, she returned to the guesthouse and ran into a red panda and a rabbit. They set wild fruit in front of her, muttering, “We hope the Mountain God’s two-legged creature will like these delicious fruits.”

Xu Xining: ?!

Even after dinner, as she was about to go upstairs, she saw the kind guesthouse owner sprout red fox ears and a tail...

Xu Xining: !?!

Realizing something was seriously wrong, Xu Xining hurriedly packed her things, intending to run away with the cat. But just as she was about to put it in its carrier

The cat transformed with a flash into a stunning beauty with cat ears and a cat tail, as cool and pure as snow and a lotus.

The innocent-looking Mountain God’s cat, the one all the furry creatures had been talking about, gazed at her in confusion and asked, “...You don’t like me?”

-

As the Mountain God of Yunlian Mountain, the cat had recently found a two-legged creature.

The two-legged creature was sensible, good-tempered, and didn’t need to be fed. The cat liked her very much in every way.

The Mountain God decided to take good care of a two-legged creature.

And so the Mountain God began a care journal:

1. Two-legged creatures are fragile and easily hurt, so stay close to her.

2. Sometimes the two-legged creature gets sad, but I can cheer her up by teasing her with my tail.

3. The two-legged creature is obedient and sensible, and even feeds me. All I have to do is give her a hug.

But as she continued writing, the Mountain God began to wonder.

Later, the Mountain God carefully wrote

99. When she’s happy, I’m happy. When she cries, I feel sad. I want to give her all the treasures I’ve kept safe.

100. I like her. I like Xu Xining.
