After the Woman Everyone Hated Died, They Regretted It

The blurb for my upcoming novel, "The Heartless Omega Says I’m Not Worthy", is at the very bottom. It’s now underway!

*

Everyone knows that Xu Bingqi, the Xu family’s biological eldest daughter, is all looks and no substance. Apart from her bewitching face, she has nothing going for her. She’s a universally loathed pariah.

Even though Xu Bingqi quietly stays in her own little corner, focused on composing music, everyone assumes she has an ulterior motive.

Her birth mother accuses her of being manipulative and tearfully claims that Xu Bingqi only got close to her to steal the inheritance meant for her adopted daughter.

Her friends drift away, knocking the carefully prepared birthday gift she made to the ground and looking at her with eyes cold as ice.

Jiang Ruo, the Xu family’s adopted heiress and the genuine darling of everyone, only cowers in her lover’s arms when Xu Bingqi is falsely accused of plagiarism, saying timidly, “So it was Sister who did all those things...”

Xu Bingqi is like snow fallen on the ground. Everyone who passes by steps on her, and eventually the snow really does get dirty, melting into a pool of mud.

Later, Xu Bingqi is destitute, dying of cancer with little time left. In everyone’s eyes, it’s just the so-called comeuppance she deserves. No one will mourn her death.

After being reborn, Xu Bingqi learns that she is the universally loathed character in a novel, whose sole purpose is to highlight how adored the protagonist is.

Xu Bingqi packs up her meager belongings and moves out of her old home without a second thought.

It isn’t until the day her concert is a resounding success that everyone discovers the mysterious musical prodigy is the Xu family’s real daughter, the one they all despised. And then...

Her mother, who has searched for Xu Bingqi for so long without success, takes her hand with tear-filled eyes and carefully slips the jade bangle she never takes off onto Xu Bingqi’s wrist. Her gaze holds a shattered hope. “Bingqi, I only just found out that you were the one who looked after me during my recovery from the car accident. Please don’t leave me, okay?”

Her friend, eyes red, offers her a handmade apology gift. “Bingqi, I was wrong to blame you before. Can you forgive me just this once?”

Even Jiang Ruo, the heroine adored and cherished by everyone, stops Xu Bingqi. “Sister, don’t leave me, or I’ll go mad.”

Xu Bingqi: ???

Xu Bingqi expressionlessly smashes the jade bangle on the ground, tosses the apology gift into the trash, and leaves without so much as a glance at them.

*

In her previous life, after everyone turned against her, the only one who stayed by Xu Bingqi’s side was a proud, haughty little cat. Even after Xu Bingqi died, it refused to leave her.

In her new life, the cat takes human form and clings to Xu Bingqi once more.

On countless nights haunted by nightmares, that person gently strokes her back and whispers softly in her ear, slowly pulling her out of the mire of her past.

They are the only one who has stood by her, unwavering, time and time again, outside the confines of the novel’s plot.

They are the light Xu Bingqi would never dare profane in this life.

Until one day, when she gets drunk, that light wraps around her tenderly, tail swaying. “I’ve been seducing you for so long. Why haven’t you fallen for me yet?”

Stunned, Xu Bingqi feels the other woman’s pale, slender fingers guide her hand to a fluffy tail. She means to pull her hand away, but gets lost in its warm, soft fluffiness and can’t bring herself to withdraw her fingertips for a long time.

But the person beside her takes it a step further, wrapping an arm around Xu Bingqi’s neck and murmuring in a husky, tender voice, “Why don’t you try feeling a little higher...”

#My wife says nothing, just keeps petting my tail#

#Should she pet a little higher or not?#

Blurb for my upcoming novel, "The Heartless Omega Says I’m Not Worthy":

Lin Wantang knows that her Omega wife hates her to the core.

In Wen Zhiqing’s eyes, she is a lowly actress who exploits a past favor, using their 100% pheromone compatibility to force her into marriage.

Looking at the Omega’s refined, aloof face, Lin Wantang thinks that if she offers her genuine love, Wen Zhiqing will fall for her sooner or later, even if only a little.

Day after day, Lin Wantang takes care of Wen Zhiqing. When Wen Zhiqing is kidnapped, Lin Wantang takes her place as a hostage.

During Wen Zhiqing’s heat, Lin Wantang drives away the other Alphas with bad intentions, soothes the delicate Omega, then tends to her own wounds alone.

When Wen Zhiqing laughs and chats with the rumored love of her life, Lin Wantang quietly withdraws, then smiles and prepares hangover soup for the Omega when she comes home.

But all she gets in return is an increasingly hateful look from Wen Zhiqing.

The Omega only touches the Alpha during her heat, clinging to the Alpha’s neck as they rise and fall in a sea of desire. When passion takes hold, the Omega pants and bites through her lip. They are intimate, their pheromones entwining until they fill the entire room.

After waking, the Omega gathers her clothes to cover the red marks on her collarbone, the corners of her eyes curving with scorn. “You’re just a tool, Lin Wantang. Do you really think you’re worthy?”

The Alpha laughs bitterly. Her Omega is the youngest business magnate, while she is only a third-rate actress. She really isn’t worthy.

Most importantly, she is terminally ill and has little time left. She can no longer take care of the Omega as she used to.

When Wen Zhiqing coldly says she wants a divorce again, Lin Wantang smiles calmly and takes out the divorce papers, to the other woman’s disbelief.

Wen Zhiqing has always been the moon atop a high mountain to Lin Wantang. No matter how hard a clown tries, she can never reach the moon. Now, she is letting go.

Lin Wantang does one last thing for the Omega. She leaves behind all the pheromones extracted during surgery for the Omega to use during her heat, then packs her few belongings and moves out.

Loving Wen Zhiqing has brought her too much pain. She chooses to set them both free.

Wen Zhiqing hates that scheming Alpha.

She hates Lin Wantang’s tender gaze, and hates her fake tenderness and intimacy during heat.

Only when her cruel words make the Alpha’s face go pale does she feel a twisted sense of satisfaction.

She is prepared to hate Lin Wantang, yet be entangled with her for the rest of her life.

But later, she searches frantically for Lin Wantang, almost crazed as she tries to catch the fading scent of her pheromones.

When she finds Lin Wantang again, the other woman is lying weakly in a hospital bed, her face paler than the sheets. Her expression is distant, and she looks as if she has lost all will to live.

Wen Zhiqing clutches her frail partner tightly, her voice trembling. “I’ll get the best medical resources to cure you. I’m your Omega. We’ll be together forever.”

Lin Wantang only gives her a mocking smile. “But I’m not worthy.”

Wen Zhiqing once thought Lin Wantang was the most despicable person in the world, a clown who overestimated herself and dared to dream of possessing the moon. But when she discovers that it was all just her own prejudice, it is too late. Her Alpha no longer has her in her eyes.

On a sunny day with a gentle breeze, Lin Wantang is discharged from the hospital.

The moon silently follows close behind, hoping to shine on the one she loves alone. But the once-clown now wears the rosy glow of dawn, having become a hugely popular award-winning actress. She laughs and chats with others over drinks, no longer willing to turn back and give her even a single glance.

Reader’s Guide:

1. One-on-one romance, the Alpha has no attachments, both are each other’s first, happy ending, and neither lead has a romantic storyline with anyone else.

2. The revenge arc burns hot enough to turn everyone to ash.
