Once Upon a Time, Now

Jiang Hui accidentally transmigrates into a melodramatic interstellar ABO novel about domineering love and taking by force. He becomes a spoiled, disposable Beta who lost his parents young and inherited a vast fortune.

In the book, he’s a lovesick dog devoted to the domineering Alpha male lead. Using his wealth, he bullies the male lead’s love interest, an Omega who seems to come from a poor family but is actually the Empire’s lost little prince and a heartthrob adored by everyone. Naturally, Jiang Hui meets a tragic end.

It’s the classic transmigration-into-a-book opening, but Jiang Hui isn’t worried. He has one chance to change his fate :)

Newcomer perk from the Transmigration Bureau: [Character Roulette]

The roulette includes, but is not limited to, the male and female leads, devoted male supporting characters, female supporting characters, the unattainable first love, random passersby, psychopaths... and so on. Once you spin, your choice is final. No refunds or exchanges. Defy fate, if luck is on your side.

Jiang Hui eagerly reaches out with the lucky hand that’s won countless “Try Again” prizes

Good news: He doesn’t have to be anyone’s lovesick dog anymore.

Bad news: He’s become a psychopath (⊙_⊙)

1.

Jiang Hui has become a psychopath and is forced to bind himself to a Psychopath Meter. Psychopath Meter = Life Points. To survive, Jiang Hui has to become a complete psychopath.

Luckily, he finds a naturally gifted target ripe for the picking on his estate. This guy doesn’t even exist in the original story, and he’s a completely natural, uncontaminated, absolutely safe Beta.

Jiang Hui is very pleased, and proceeds to do every sort of psychopathic thing imaginable.

2.

Gu Qinghe uses an alias to get a well-paid summer job. His daily duties are pruning the flowers and plants on an estate. With no annoying admirers around, it’s peaceful and free, and he’s quite satisfied.

Until one day, he finds the young master of the estate in his room, clutching his pillow and burying his face in it. The young man’s pretty cheeks are flushed, his expression entranced.

When caught, the young master doesn’t panic. Instead, he advances on Gu Qinghe and pins him against the door, hot breath spilling over his neck as he says the most depraved things in the sweetest voice:

“The more you resist, the more excited I get.”

“You wouldn’t want anyone else to find out, would you...?”

After that, he brazenly collects things Gu Qinghe has used and kisses the roses Gu Qinghe has picked...

Gu Qinghe should be disgusted and resist, but as they spend more time together, he shamefully realizes that he’s falling deeper and deeper. In the midst of the confusion, he tears himself away. The summer ends, and he returns to school

There, he sees the young master pinning a stranger against a wall, saying the exact same words he’d once said to Gu Qinghe :)

3.

Jiang Hui has never met the main cast and can only recognize them by name. So when he hears someone call the plump sheep he’s been fleecing the male lead’s love interest, he’s stunned.

It’s over, folks. He’s been a psychopath toward the male lead’s love interest.

The problem is, he’s also been a psychopath toward a whole lot of other people (pensive.jpg)

And to make things worse, he undergoes a second differentiation and becomes an Omega. Jiang Hui notices the increasingly depraved looks around him and nervously reaches for his slightly swollen gland.

Turn back, turn back! He wants to be a Banana!!!
