New novel: Marking the Female Lead Turned the Cannon Fodder into a Rich Family's Live-in Alpha. Please add it to your reading list!

Fu Zhaoyun transmigrated into an awful Alpha in a yuri ABO novel.

According to the original plot, she was an uneducated bully who took whatever she wanted and committed every kind of wicked deed... until the Omega female lead, Pei Xuezhi, turned dark and killed her in a stunning reversal.

To keep herself alive...

When Pei Xuezhi joined a variety show, Fu Zhaoyun signed up without a second thought. She looked after her the whole time and never left her side.

One day, Fu Zhaoyun got drunk and recognized only Pei Xuezhi. She hugged her, whined for attention, and even sang "Little Frog Hop" to flirt with the gorgeous beauty!

Viewers: [Aaaah, childish gong is the GOAT! She only has eyes for her! Zhaoyun and Xuezhi are so perfect together!!!]

When Pei Xuezhi couldn't convey the look of someone in love while filming a movie, Fu Zhaoyun called the screenwriter without a second thought.

"I'll invest another ten million. Change the script."

The crew: [Is Producer Fu jealous? A domineering Alpha doting on a cool, beautiful Omega... Ahhh, they're so good together!]

Later, paparazzi caught the two of them entering and leaving the same villa together.

Netizens: [I get it! It's her heat! Don't stop for seven days and seven nights, aaah!]

...Though things always took a somewhat strange turn, Fu Zhaoyun faithfully kept acting as Pei Xuezhi's protector and good friend.

Until one day, Pei Xuezhi went into heat, and Fu Zhaoyun expertly reached for a suppressant spray.

Pei Xuezhi knocked it from her hand. "Fu Zhaoyun, are you even an Alpha?!"

Fu Zhaoyun: ???

The cool beauty's eyes were rimmed with a hazy red. "I don't want that."

Her voice softened, little by little, until she was actually acting coy. "I want your warmth. I want you... to mark me yourself."

Before Fu Zhaoyun could decide whether she should "hold herself back" this time, Pei Xuezhi pressed her head down, bringing her lips to the back of her neck, and marked her again and again...

The next morning, Fu Zhaoyun woke and stared at the beauty's still smooth, flat belly, deep in thought.

As the great hero who had kept this family together, shouldn't she plan ahead... and ask her family for a little extra money for their future baby's formula?

*

In her previous life, Pei Xuezhi suffered endlessly. In the end, she felt nothing but hatred for that person, never love.

Reborn, she was cold-hearted and ruthless. She hadn't expected that person to change completely, clumsily doing nothing but trying to be kind to her. At first, Pei Xuezhi found it absurd, but little by little, she fell for her.

Except...

"Why is there never any room for me in your eyes?"

Her cool, snow-white fingertips brushed the other woman's cheek. Pei Xuezhi murmured, "Big sister~ You've gotten even better at destroying someone in this life."

In the midst of danger, Fu Zhaoyun looked up and planted a loud kiss on the other's lips. Pei Xuezhi stared at her in surprise, then her expression gradually softened.

This time, she willingly entered the game for love.

* Main gong: A rich second-generation Alpha with a peculiar way of thinking and a lazy streak × A reborn Omega who is even more wicked, a seemingly cold but truly deranged self-made powerhouse

* ABO, female Alphas, no Jinjiang, secondary settings everywhere

* Cover character used with permission: ZDC (non-exclusive). Many thanks!

* Slow burn, gradual progression, emotional intimacy before physical intimacy. No marking before they understand each other's feelings (important). The original plot is wrong, so don't follow its example! (Very important)

* Thanks to the lovely readers who spotted typos. I'll fix them as soon as I can to make the rest of the reading experience better QAQ

----- Preview: Marking the Female Lead Turned the Cannon Fodder into a Rich Family's Live-in Alpha

Late one night, less than a month into her new job, Alpha Lu Ningshuang was working overtime at the office when she ran into a gorgeous Omega in heat. The two of them spent a night together.

Afterward, Lu Ningshuang suddenly realized she was a cannon-fodder Alpha in an ABO novel.

When the Omega female lead, Qin Yushu, went into heat, Lu Ningshuang happened to pass by. The female lead's SSS-rank pheromones drove hers out of control. Then the actual Alpha arrived to rescue Qin Yushu, but mistook Lu Ningshuang for the culprit who had drugged her. Her ending was a tearful stint behind bars.

By rights, her part in the story should have ended last night. But now...

Lu Ningshuang looked at Qin Yushu, the female lead and her own boss, lying beside her, already marked, and fell silent.

Was there still time to find a time machine?

As the sole heir to the Qin family, twenty-five-year-old Qin Yushu was capable and beautiful. Even as an Omega, she was top-tier and no weaker than any Alpha.

Except... ever since she presented, her monthly heat had been a bit of a hassle.

One time, when President Qin went into heat again, she stopped holding back and slept with a younger Alpha at her company, someone with a clean family background, a pleasant appearance, and an easygoing nature.

The little Alpha was good in bed, and President Qin was very satisfied. She even found herself wanting more and didn't want to let her go.

The next morning, the domineering Omega CEO summoned the younger Alpha who had run off during the night to her office.

Lu Ningshuang was terrified.

Qin Yushu laid out her offer: "Marry me and join the Qin family as a live-in spouse, for three years. I'll cover all your living expenses during that time, and in return, you'll fulfill your duties as my partner."

Poor Alpha Lu Ningshuang froze.

She thought, This kind of deal actually exists?

"I'll sign!" Without a moment's hesitation, she took the bowl of soft rice.

After they got married, though, Lu Ningshuang gradually realized this soft rice wasn't as easy to eat as she'd thought.

For example, President Qin would sneak into her room every night. She was a workaholic herself, and insisted on dragging Lu Ningshuang into "working overtime" with her. It was practically draining Lu Ningshuang dry!

"I can't do this anymore, really..."

Lu Ningshuang was at her wits' end. Afterward, President Qin would always bring out her full capitalist oppressor nature and drag Lu Ningshuang back into it.

"Miss Lu." Qin Yushu spoke into Lu Ningshuang's ear. The cold, haughty face she wore at the office was now flushed like a blooming crabapple.

"Satisfying me is your duty. We wrote that into the contract. You can't refuse."

*

Everyone said President Qin had a pretty-boy Alpha kept on the side. The Alpha was good for nothing, but President Qin seemed bewitched, doting on her like she was the most precious thing in the world.

Even Qin Yushu's friends said Lu Ningshuang wasn't good enough for her.

Until one day, a friend came to the office to discuss business and accidentally broke a vase Lu Ningshuang had given Qin Yushu. Qin Yushu flew into a rage and made a huge fuss over a small matter.

Her friend said, "Ask her how much it costs. I'll pay for it."

Lu Ningshuang said, "Huh? No need, no need. It came from home. It's not worth much."

But Qin Yushu still wouldn't let it go. She had it appraised, only to discover that the vase was an antique from before the Yuanjia era!

Friend: Huh?

Lu Ningshuang: Huh?

* She's so rich she signed up for a whole year of this: a gorgeous, wealthy Omega boss × A subordinate who thinks she's poor and decides to live off her, though it turns out she might not be poor after all (?)

Message: Love life wholeheartedly, and cherish love.
