A Scummy A Reborn in an Angsty Novel Becomes a Star

Gentle, reliable, sweet-and-innocent CEO Alpha × aloof, scheming, hidden-talent award-winning actress Omega

Cheng Jingling, a spoiled rich heiress, got into a car accident and transmigrated into a book.

But she mistook the novel’s scenes for a glamorous spring dream. Bewitched by the heroine’s beauty, she tried to get intimate with her, only to be forcibly rebooted by the System.

After two reboots, Cheng Jingling finally calmed down. She accepted that she had transmigrated into a book, as well as the System’s mission: to make the heroine, Ji Yufu, happy.

Looking at the nearly eight-figure allowance in her bank account, she flashed an arrogant, wicked grin. With money on her side, making someone happy would be a piece of cake!

Then the System showed her the original plot, and she started trembling all over, questioning her existence.

She had become the scumbag Alpha wife in a melodramatic, rich-family angst novel. By cheating, having affairs, and giving her wife the cold shoulder, she caused Ji Yufu to miscarry twice and lose the ability to have children. In the end, Ji Yufu turned the tables and took brutal revenge, leaving Cheng Jingling with a ruined family and her glands cut out while she was still alive.

Cheng Jingling: This is way too cruel! Honey, please spare me! o(╥﹏╥)o

Even more terrifying, the System told her that the novel’s author had made a “destructive” rewrite, turning the original angst-filled novel into a sweet, satisfying story about a powerful heroine. That meant the original plot was completely scrapped. Cheng Jingling would have to complete all her missions on her own, and the System couldn’t help much either.

No plot to guide her, no System to assist her, and no protagonist’s halo. She was in hell mode from the start.

Cheng Jingling wailed in frustration: “Three-no” novels are dangerous! I hate this!

With no other choice, Cheng Jingling stumbled blindly into her mission. To save her own skin, she decided to cling to the heroine, stay by her side, and steadily build up her affection. She would be at her beck and call, smooth over every difficulty, and help her reach the top.

In public, she would pretend to be a loving couple, flaunt their affection on variety shows, and lavish care and love on Ji Yufu, showing off the gentle, devoted charm of a CEO Alpha. In private, Ji Yufu would be on top. Cheng Jingling would support the heroine’s career, help her escape her parasitic family, pay her breach-of-contract fees out of her own allowance, and even sacrifice her own glands to help cure her illness.

With Cheng Jingling’s support, Ji Yufu eventually reached new heights in her career, swept awards at home and abroad, and became the leading actress in the film industry. She also reunited with her long-lost biological mother and finally found a loving family. Surrounded by excellent Alphas, she had no regrets left in life.

Cheng Jingling, meanwhile, became a nationally recognized model Alpha. For years, she topped the list of Omegas’ most-wanted marriage partners, and transformed from a spoiled, spendthrift heiress into a promising young successor to a wealthy family.

Cheng Jingling thought her mission was complete. She planned to quietly leave Ji Yufu’s life, taking no credit for her accomplishments. But just as she was about to run away, the usually cool and composed Omega’s eyes turned red. In a wounded voice, she demanded to know why Cheng Jingling wouldn’t mark her. Was it true, as everyone said, that she “couldn’t perform”?

Cheng Jingling gritted her teeth in anger, cursing the shameless rumor-mongers. She scooped Ji Yufu up and carried her to the bedroom, ready to disprove the rumors with action!

Afterward... Cheng Jingling cried into the blanket. How could an Omega mark someone too? Was this a science fiction novel?

Ji Yufu’s perspective:

As the youngest award-winning actress, Ji Yufu was adored by the public for her flawless beauty and acting skills. But no one knew how much pain she endured behind all the glory. Her parents divorced when she was still very young. When she was five, her father brought home a young woman and told her to call the woman “Mom.” But Ji Yufu couldn’t bring herself to do it, because she knew she didn’t have a mother.

At first, life as a family of three was fairly harmonious. But later, her father and stepmother had a son. Her stepmother began showing blatant favoritism toward her own child, and Ji Yufu was neglected and ignored. She watched them living happily together from a dim corner, and her longing for love slowly faded. She built a cold shell around herself. If she had no expectations, she couldn’t be disappointed. She grew up alone in a cold, oppressive home. Later, when she entered the entertainment industry, she escaped her family and finally experienced true freedom.

But her family didn’t let her go. Her father and stepmother were ordinary workers with modest salaries. After she debuted, her stepmother demanded that she send money home to support the family. At first, it was a few thousand or tens of thousands. Later, they wanted 50,000 or 200,000 a month. As Ji Yufu grew more famous, their appetite grew too. They clung to her like leeches, sucking her dry.

Then one day, Ji Yufu was set up and photographed checking into a hotel with Cheng Jingling, a spoiled heiress from the capital. Overnight, the nation’s beloved award-winning actress became a target of public hatred and the industry’s laughingstock. Her career plummeted.

To salvage her career, Ji Yufu was forced to “date” Cheng Jingling and cultivate a celebrity couple image together. She thought it was just a business arrangement for mutual benefit, but she never expected Cheng Jingling to hold her so dear.

Cheng Jingling remembered her preferences and took care of her down to the smallest detail, even when she couldn’t take proper care of herself. After an argument, Cheng Jingling would be the first to apologize. At meals, she would offer Ji Yufu the first bite. When danger came, she would shield Ji Yufu with her own body. She used her family’s influence to investigate the people who had framed Ji Yufu. To help cure her illness, she even secretly injured her own glands, without telling anyone, until she collapsed on set.

Later, their couple image became a nationwide sensation and gained countless fans. Ji Yufu returned to the peak of her career, and the two went from contractual partners to a real couple. Falling for Cheng Jingling was as easy as drinking water.

Everyone said Cheng Jingling was no good. Only Ji Yufu knew how wonderful she was, and that no one could ever be better. Cheng Jingling was like the sun, warming her.

If Cheng Jingling had one flaw, it was that she was a little foolish, leaving clues everywhere. She couldn’t even sneak away without Ji Yufu finding out.

There was no other choice. Ji Yufu could only use reverse psychology to keep her there. If the mountain wouldn’t come to her, she would go to the mountain.

If we were destined to part, I still prayed that this relationship would have a perfect ending, with no regrets left behind. In the long years to come, no matter how difficult things became, I could draw on these happy memories to get through the hard times.

The ability to reverse-mark an Alpha was the only golden finger I ever asked the System for.

I am my own god. On the path to saving myself, I’m grateful I met you.
