What Do I Do When My Archenemy Won't Leave Me Alone?

[A goofy, sweet romance] No gimmicks. Shen Ji's life had always been perfect, until Xie Lingshu transferred to her school in the second year of high school. Xie Lingshu was cool, beautiful, and came from a privileged family. Even her grades were so good that no one else could keep up. One month after Xie Lingshu transferred, Shen Ji lost her throne as the top student in the grade. Five months after Xie Lingshu transferred, Shen Ji, who had been voted the school's prettiest girl for five years running, was knocked down to second place. A year after Xie Lingshu transferred, the girl Shen Ji had admired for ages confessed her feelings to Xie Lingshu in front of everyone. Shen Ji was so furious she practically smoked, and spat blood as she swore to crush Xie Lingshu beneath her feet. But why had Xie Lingshu looked at her when she turned down the girl's confession, saying she already had someone in her heart? . When Xie Lingshu was young, she had accidentally fallen into the water. A girl with a plum-blossom mark on her wrist rescued her, but the incident left her glands underdeveloped, and she eventually presented as an Omega. She thought she would never see that girl again, until she transferred schools and met Shen Ji. The only problem was that Shen Ji seemed to think she was in love with her best friend. Xie Lingshu decided to play along. When Shen Ji offered to tutor the girl she liked, Xie Lingshu arranged to study with her best friend instead. When Shen Ji planned to have dinner alone with her crush, Xie Lingshu invited her best friend to eat in the cafeteria. When Shen Ji planned a secret date with her crush, Xie Lingshu asked her best friend to go out with her. At last, Shen Ji couldn't take it anymore. She pinned Xie Lingshu against the wall and demanded coldly, “What exactly are you trying to do!?” Xie Lingshu smiled faintly. Beneath her long black hair, her eyes were deep and unreadable. Instead of backing away, she leaned closer and whispered into Shen Ji's ear, “I want to get your attention.” The girl who had been snapping and snarling just moments ago immediately flushed red, stammering without managing to say a word. Xie Lingshu smiled. . The only thing Shen Ji was happy about was that, in their second year of high school, when they both came of age and presented, she became an Alpha while Xie Lingshu became an Omega. Clearly, she had celebrated too soon. Shen Ji x Xie Lingshu Prideful, easily riled Alpha x seemingly gentle, but aloof and scheming Omega Theme: Everyone is unique, and worthy of being loved just as they are
